I’m Finbarre Snarey and I host and produce Tarot Interviews – the first podcast in the world to interview creatives using tarot cards. It is a project where I talk to writers, artists, and other creative people using tarot cards as structured prompts.

Season 1 was released as a regular podcast series, and it’s available on

• Spotify
• Apple Podcasts

Going forward, I’ll release new episodes as standalone Tarot Interviews specials.

I also run Tarot DMs, my written interview project where guests share stories by text message. It’s about how creative work actually gets made – the ideas, doubts, workarounds, and turning points that rarely make it into press releases.
