Festival & Event Coverage
Bring Tarot Interviews, heard in 55+ countries, to your festival, arts event or cultural programme
One tarot card. One question. Short, memorable conversations.
Tarot Interviews offers a different kind of festival coverage. I bring a deck of cards into the field and use tarot as an icebreaker with people I have never met before. The format is simple, quick to understand and surprisingly effective. Someone draws a card, and the conversation opens from there.
When people are approached at festivals, many are understandably cautious about being filmed for YouTube, TikTok or other video platforms. Audio is more accessible. It asks less of the person being interviewed, bringing better conversations and a truer sense of the event.

What Tarot Interviews can bring to your event
Tarot Interviews can provide:
- on-site audio interviews
- artist, trader, organiser and audience conversations
- a finished Tarot Interviews podcast episode or festival segment
- roaming vox pops from around the site
- short social posts and stills where agreed
- searchable podcast coverage across more than 20 podcast apps and directories
- optional pop-up audience interviews or a small on-site activation
The aim is to capture the atmosphere of the event through the people who make it happen.
We help festivals dominate podcast search
Following coverage of Bearded Theory and the Wyldwood Renaissance Festival, Tarot Interviews now consistently appears in the top results for both event names on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
Festival weekends pass quickly. The tents come down, social posts slip down the feed, and the rush of weekend coverage becomes harder to find. Podcast search has a longer tail, and creating optimised festival audio is our speciality.
Tarot Interviews episodes are published across more than 20 podcast apps and directories, including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Audible, Pocket Casts, Podcast Addict, Player FM, Podchaser, Listen Notes and other podcast platforms.
When people search for the festival they loved, the artists they missed, or the weekend they are thinking about booking next year, they can find a Tarot Interviews episode waiting for them.
Ways we can work together
Every event is different, so the format can be adapted to suit your site, schedule and access arrangements.
Backstage press stop
Give Tarot Interviews access to the artist area or press space, and I can offer short, memorable interviews with artists and performers.
These can be quick five-minute conversations for busy festival schedules, or longer podcast segments where time allows.
Roaming vox pops
I can take the tarot deck into the crowd and capture the mood of your event through the people who are there.
This works especially well for festivals with strong communities, family areas, creative workshops or a loyal returning crowd.
Trader and maker interviews
Independent traders, food vendors, artists, makers and workshop leaders are often a huge part of a festival’s atmosphere.
Tarot Interviews can help capture those stories too, giving attention to the people who create the texture of the event beyond the main stages.
On-site activation
With a small corner, table or quiet space, Tarot Interviews can become a pop-up feature at your event.
Audience members draw a card, answer a question and take part in a short recorded conversation.
Good fits
Tarot Interviews is especially well suited to:
- music festivals
- arts festivals
- literature festivals
- folklore and heritage events
- renaissance fairs and historical events
- witchcraft, occult and esoteric events
- independent markets
- creative conferences
- museum and gallery events
- community arts programmes
- alternative culture events
What I usually need
For most events, I would usually need:
- press or media accreditation
- access for myself and, where needed, one assistant
- permission to record audio with willing participants
- clear guidance on where recording is and is not allowed
- access to a reasonably quiet area where possible
- artist, trader or organiser contacts you would especially like included
- any deadlines for publication or social coverage
All interviews are consent-led.
