The Three Ravens Podcast - Un pódcast de Three Ravens
On this week's episode we're headed back to Nottinghamshire, and Martin is telling his take on the legend of Robin Hood!We start off discussing St Elmo, witchfire, and his three rather unpleasant deaths, after which we head to Nottinghamshire.In addition to chatting about Southwell Minster, Newark Castle ruins, and a pretty epic story associated with St Catherine's Well, we then chew over 'Nottinghamshire Pudding' in County Dishes, while also recounting the tangy history of Houses of Parliament Sauce.After some folkloric chat about topics including The Fair Maid of Clifton, The Brokilow Boggan, and Nottinghamshire's own mysterious black dog, plus some excerpts from this week's Local Legends interview with archaeologist, Notts' local, and author of the new book Historic Building Mythbusting James Wright, it's onto the main event: Martin's telling of "The Many Deaths of Robin Hood."Speak to you again on Thursday for our new Dying Arts bonus episode all about the history of Glove Making!The Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays (Magic and Medicines about folk remedies and arcane spells, Three Ravens Bestiary about cryptids and mythical creatures, Dying Arts about endangered heritage crafts, and Something Wicked about folkloric true crime from across history) plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcast Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
