The Bardic Hearth is a full-cast, high fantasy audio drama about gods, adventurers, and a lonely bard in the woods . . .

One-hundred years ago, Wren lost his memories when he struck a deal with the Goddess of Death and became her champion. He now operates a tavern alone in the middle of a cursed forest and guarding the path to the legendary Wishing Well. On the rare occasion that a wish-seeker survives the Manglewood long enough to reach his doorstep, he sits them down by his fire with a drink of their choice, listens to their story, and immortalizes them in song. But one-hundred years is a long time to be alone, Wren wants nothing more than to regain his memories.
