  • Series 6 Episode 5: Essex
    On this week's episode of Three Ravens we're off to Essex, exploring the history and folklore of a county that has everything. Apart from mountains...We start off discussing April Fool's Day, which has a surprisingly long legacy, after which we embark for Essex!We begin by talking about a bunch of strange historical quirks in the county, including lots of things to do with ponds - ones in which dead pirates have oak trees growing out of their chests, or where, for centuries, people have been drawn out into Epping Forest to end their own lives, or the one where Matthew Hopkins, Witch Finder General, began his reign of terror ducking witches. All before Martin gets salty, jammy, and slightly fishy in pursuit of this week's County Dish...Next, we dig into some folklore, including six different dragon legends, a contender for the title of 'England's Most Haunted House,' Ralph of Coggeshall and more, all informed by some excerpts from Saturday's upcoming Local Legends interview with Ailsa Clarke and Bethan Briggs-Miller, hosts of the brilliant Eerie Essex podcast.Then it's on to the main event: Martin's telling of "The Rage of Boudica." So, if you're even partway Roman, you'd best start running now!We really hope you enjoy the episode, and we will be back on Thursday with a new Magic and Medicines bonus episode about Leech Books and Early Medical Texts, all before the full interview with Ailsa and Bethan comes out on Saturday!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 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.

  • Local Legends #33: Tom "The Tale Teller" Phillips
    On this week's episode of Local Legends, Martin is joined by author and storyteller Tom “The Tale Teller” Phillips.Leicestershire born and raised, Tom is the county's most celebrated storyteller - even the Leicestershire Guild of Storytellers told us, directly, that he is the person to talk to about Leicestershire's lore. And just a fraction of his knowledge and passion is on show in his collection Leicestershire Folk Tales for Children - but that's only part of the story.Having trained and worked as a primary school teacher with a passion for legends, and with experience, too, as a gardener, groundskeeper and cleaner, over 15 years ago Tom began his work as a professional storyteller and has gone from strength to strength.Through his use of puppets, traditional storytelling techniques, and a head full of tales, he has been enrapturing audiences of all ages. He then wrote his second book, with the third now on its way, as we discuss during the episode.As such, gather round the Three Ravens campfire for a warm, open, friendly conversation which ranges from Black Annis and Richard III to Lady Jane Grey, haunted country houses, and kidnapping giants.We really hope you enjoy it, and will be back on Monday with our brand new County Episode all about the history and folklore of Essex!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.

  • Magus #2: Mother Shipton
    For our second episode of Magus, we are delving into the deep dark cave of history to the unravel the mysterious life of Mother Shipton, a Tudor era prophetess with links to folkloric sites all over England, from Knaresborough to the Rollright Stones to Somerset and beyond.Our journey starts in the English Renaissance, where we explore how the concept of a witch had been presented and appeared in legal cases and famous stories, up until the reign of Henry VIII - during which it's said Mother Shipton lived and died, seemingly attracting the ire of the crown!Yet, considering the lack of historical detail relating to the woman also known as Ursula Southeil, getting to the bottom of who she may have been soon becomes a moot point, as, despite the work of generations of historians, from the Jacobean era onwards, following the period of 'Witch Hunt fever' in England Mother Shipton quickly became a political tool and means of making money.Appearing as a stock character in 17th century pantomimes, with her visual representations based on woodcut images of Mr Punch, records show how things soon spun out of control, throwing much of what we think we know about her into question.For example, was she really born in a cave? Was her father the Devil, or a necromancer, or perhaps the wizard Merlin? And what about her prophecies, almost all of which kept on coming uncannily true?Prepare yourself for an episode full of surprises, from flying goats and fifteen minute bouts of flatulence to mass hysteria and bucket-loads of bare faced lies. But sitting behind it all is a serious point: if history is written by the victors, what have the English ruling classes had to say about Mother Shipton across the last five centuries? And with this in mind, do all the things people believe about Mother Shipton have anything to do with her actual life and legacy, or everything to do with our own historic fears and prejudice?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.

  • Series 6 Episode 4: Leicestershire
    On this week's episode of Three Ravens, we are diving deep into the pink river of Leicestershire's history and folklore - and Eleanor has written a real weepy story, so brace yourself for that one!We start off discussing the Nothing Day that is the 24th March - a day which used to be something, all before the Julian calendar happened, and the Archangel Michael got a bit big for his boots. After which we lollop into Leicestershire!We start with some curious aspects of the county's heritage and culture, including its significant and vibrant immigrant populations, the Hallaton Treasure, the gargantuan legacy of Daniel Lambert, the "Fattest Man in England" as he once was, the rather evil 'Leicester Boy', and more, all before Eleanor gets us all in a jumble for this week's County Dish...Next, we dig into some folklore, including the Birstall Shagdog, the Griffin of Griffydam, some of Leicestershire's strange traditions such as the "Whipping Toms" and Bottle Kicking, all informed by some excerpts from Saturday's full Local Legends interview with Leicestershire local, author and storyteller Tom "The Tale Teller" Phillips.Then it's on to the main event: Eleanor's story "Route 616," which is sad and beautiful and revolves around post-war bus journey!We really hope you enjoy it, and will be back on Thursday with both a new Magus bonus episode about Mother Shipton and our Patreon Exclusive Film Club episode for April about The Cry of the Banshee, all before the full interview with Tom comes out on Saturday!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.

  • Local Legends #32: Dr Terrie "Red Phoenix" Howie
    For this week's episode of Local Legends, Martin is joined by academic, storyteller, author, and bona fide expert in Buckinghamshire’s folklore, Dr Terrie “Red Phoenix” Howie.Terrie, who performs as “Red Phoenix” when she’s leading workshops or telling stories, would be an absolutely worthwhile guest for this episode just from a storytelling perspective. She has performed all over the country as well as internationally, and has been a professional storyteller for over 25 years.However, as you will hear during our conversation, Terrie has made two additional, really important contributions to the modern folklore landscape. The two are interrelated, and both are very interesting.The first is her PhD research, which set out to prove the impacts storytelling has on people. Because, as we can all probably say, and many of the people we’ve interviewed for Local Legends have attested to this, there’s no doubt that storytelling has power – for adult audiences, not just for children – and Terrie has gone out of her way, at personal cost, to prove as much.The second, which, as she explains, came sort of hand in glove with the PhD, was that she set about collecting, for the first time ever, a proper corpus of folklore and folktales from Buckinghamshire, and her book, Buckinghamshire Folk Tales, is just one of the products of all of that work.As such, settle in for a deep and fascinating conversation which ranges from dragons to demon summonings, bull riding Anglo Saxons to vampires, and engages with really big ideas - not least how each of us creates an identity through telling our stories of ourselves.We really hope that you enjoy it, and will be back on Monday with our brand new County Episode, in which we will be lolloping through the history and folklore of Leicestershire!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.
