The Three Ravens
Narrated Folklore Anthology
Explicit
Three Ravens is an English myth and folklore podcast hosted by Eleanor Conlon and Martin Vaux.
In [each episode,] we explore a historic county, digging into the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more.
[We] have also launched our Lang Fairy Tale Project, for which we are recording and releasing the 700+ stories collected by English academics and authors Nora and Andrew Lang, published in over a dozen volumes from the end of the 19th century and changing children’s literature forever.
This podcast is a mixture of storytelling and discussion segments.
