The Three Ravens Podcast

By: Three Ravens
  • Summary

  • The Three Ravens is an English myth and folklore podcast hosted by Eleanor Conlon and Martin Vaux.

    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, we 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...

    Our Bonus Episodes are then 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 crimes from across history).

    Plus, starting April 2024, we're launching a new Bonus Series: Local Legends. Released on Saturdays, each episode is an interview with an acclaimed folklorist, author, podcaster or historian, deepening discussions into that week's county.

    We also release a range of exclusive content on Patreon, where supporters enjoy ad-free listening, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, and more.

    So, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?

Episodes
  • Part XVIII: Midwinter Games
    Dec 18 2024

    Adapted in a light-hearted, comical style from a diverse set of genuine Medieval Arthurian Romances, this special Three Ravens retelling of the iconic 14th century poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is our bonus miniseries for Advent 2024.

    Split into 25 parts, one for each day of December leading up to and including Christmas Day, the tale follows Gawain, a young knight in King Arthur's court who embarks on a rambling quest, packed with adventures, which takes him all around ancient Britain - a journey which begins at one Midwinter feast and ends at another, exactly one year later.

    Today, Gawain awakes to discover Sir Bertilak's castle in the midst of its Midwinter's Eve celebrations, which are rather different to Camelot's. Although, are the Lord of Hautedesert and his Lunar Knights all really as chilled as they seem to be about Gawain being quite so 'Good?'

  • Part XVII: Sir Bertilak's Reception
    Dec 17 2024

    Adapted in a light-hearted, comical style from a diverse set of genuine Medieval Arthurian Romances, this special Three Ravens retelling of the iconic 14th century poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is our bonus miniseries for Advent 2024.

    In this episode, Gawain spends the final days of the year searching through the cold and dark, driving himself and Gringolet towards almost certain death. Although, through the snow and bleak night, strangers come to his aid, and take him to a pure white keep which he is pretty sure wasn't there even a moment ago...

    Part XVI sees a slightly traumatized Gawain and Gringolet continuing their search as winter begins. And amidst the growing chill, out in the wilderness, they encounter two strangers - one of whom is a person with which Gawain has unfinished business, while the other is ice-cold by virtue of her very nature...
