    The Three Ravens Podcast

    Three Ravens is a completely independent English myth and folklore podcast where we share stories, celebrate folk culture, and fall backwards through the hedgerows of history.

    Hosted by real-life couple Eleanor Conlon and Martin Vaux, and mostly recorded at our home in rural Sussex in southern England, Three Ravens is rated 4.8/5 from over 500 reviews and has grown by word of mouth care of our lovely listener community ‘The Conspiracy of Ravens.’

    We release three episodes a week, on Mondays, Thursday and Saturdays, through which we explore folktales, folkways, fairy stories, folk songs, mythology, local heritage, seasonal customs and traditional beliefs.

    Our research inspires our retellings of stories from across history and culture, with episodes standing alone but connected together across over 500 chatty, mostly light-hearted, swear-free installments driven by passion, kindness and curiosity.

    Now ranked as an all-time Top 5 podcast across several categories by Goodpods, charting in the Spotify, Apple and Rephonic UK Fiction Top 10 across 2024, 2025 and 2026, if you’re interested in ghosts, monsters, regional beliefs, and the things that unite us all, then join us round the campfire and listen in…

    From 2023-2026 we released six different Bonus Series covering the following themes:

    • Magic and Medicine – Eleanor’s 26-part exploration of the history of magical belief and folk practice.
    • Three Ravens Bestiary – Martin’s A-Z of mythical creatures, legendary monsters, and things that go bump in the night.
    • Dying Arts – Eleanor’s 13-episode series about endangered and heritage crafts from their earliest origins to their fates since mechanisation.

    The Lang Fairy Tale Project 🧚

    Launched in 2025 to help us bridge gaps between main series, we began by sharing readings from us of the iconic stories found in the Blue Fairy Book compiled by Andrew Lang.

    From the Red Fairy Book onwards, we have also spent time digging into the stories, their histories and relationships to tale types, and are engaged in an ongoing mission to celebrate the woman truly behind the 12 coloured fairy books – Andrew’s wife Leonora, whose impact on children’s literature and fantasy fiction cannot be understated.

    The Laidly Worm | Series 5 Episode 11: Northumberland Dec 30, 2024
    Show notes

    On this week's episode we're heading about as northerly as England gets, to Northumberland - and Eleanor's telling her suitably slithery take on The Laidly Worm of Spindleston Heugh!


    We start off chatting about St Egwin's Day and traditional New Year's Eve celebrations, including Hogmanay, after which we bomb up the A1 to explored the history and folklore of Northumberland.


    We discuss all sorts, including the Northumberland and Border Ballad traditions, through which much of the county's folklore has survived, the county's clog-based dances, and plenty else, all before Eleanor presents us with a series of really delicious sounding things for once for this week's County Dish.


    When it comes to folklore, interspersed with some excerpts from next Saturday's Local Legends interview with beloved podcaster, folklorist and author Dr Icy Sedgwick, we talk about some of Northumberland's fae creatures, which range from terrifying to quite helpful, discuss bicycling ghosts, the treasures of Jingling Geordie's Hole, and much more besides.


    Then it's on to the main event: Eleanor's beautiful, frost-covered telling of "The Laidly Worm."

    Jeremy Harte | Local Legends #27: Surrey Dec 28, 2024
    Show notes

    On this week's episode of Local Legends, Martin is joined by the much-acclaimed, multi-award winning author, folklorist and archaeological researcher Jeremy Harte, whose books, including Cloven Country: The Devil and the English Landscape and The Green Man, are beloved texts, yet barely the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Jeremy's work!


    As Jeremy explains, he almost fell into folklore research via a semi-accidental career in museums and the heritage industry. Since then however, from topics as diverse as geomancy and English toponymy, Medieval faerie belief and detailed studies into the country's holy wells, he has gone on to write some of the most important literature on folklore as written in the last half-century.


    While this chat is ostensibly focused on the history and folklore of Surrey, across the course of this interview topics discussed include what life is like for a local museum curator, the growth of 'the Devil' as a concept, Gawain and the Green Knight, haunted grandstands, debates about which came first, graveyard elms or the churches alongside them, and so much more.


    It's a fascinating, ranging conversation, and one which, of course, also delves into the character, stories, and strange status of Surrey in terms of its folklore and place in the national consciousness.

    Part XXV: A Hero's Welcome | Gawain and the Green Knight Dec 25, 2024
    Show notes

    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.


    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.


    And, to wish everybody a very Merry Christmas, we proudly present our grand finale! With Gawain now back at Camelot, he finds himself in a whirlwind of old faces, on the eve of his wedding! But who will his wife be, and what about the outcomes of all his decisions since last Midwinter?


    Martin’s 25-part comic retelling of the iconic Arthurian poem, folding in several other legends pertaining to Gawain including The Knight With The Sword, Sir Gawain and the Carle of Carlisle, The Loathly Lady, and The Perilous Chapel.

    The Spinning House | A Ghost Story for Christmas Dec 24, 2024

    We proudly present our second annual spooky ghost story for Christmas, care of Three Ravens!


    Following in the tradition of M.R. James, E.F. Benson, and Charles Dickens, it feels only right to cosy up and listen to something scary on Christmas Eve. This year it's Eleanor's turn, with a stunningly sinuous tale set in Cambridge during the Victorian era. We follow Mercy, a young female student in an exceptionally fraught atmosphere, where spectres of past crimes make their presence known with horrifying consequences...

    Captain Salvin and his Flying Pig | Series 5 Episode 10: Surrey Dec 23, 2024
    Show notes

    This week we're off to Surrey, one of the Home Counties - and a place that is being gobbled up by London year by year!


    We start by discussing, much to Martin's chagrin, that the 23rd December is actually a Saints Day for about 30 obscure martyrs, recounting just a fraction of who they were and why they mattered. And after that, we dig into the history and folklore of Surrey.


    We discuss all sorts, including the tiny house where John Donne and his wife lived and had many, many babies, an extremely tall tower built by an Enlightenment-era loon, the heritage and importance of Surrey's heaths and commons, and plenty else, all before Martin digs through culinary history to uncover some... peculiar delicacies... for this week's County Dish.


    On the folklore front, interspersed with some excerpts from next Saturday's Local Legends interview with the much-acclaimed folklorist and author Jeremy Harte, we talk about Guildford's unfortunate dragon, Lord Lyttleton's Ghost, Joan Butts The Witch of Ewell, and much more besides.


    Then it's on to the main event: Martin's rather silly story, which is largely based on the truth, "Captain Salvin and his Flying Pig."

    Part XXI: The Hunting of a Fox | Gawain and the Green Knight Dec 21, 2024
    Show notes

    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.


    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.


    In Part 20, Sir Bertilak and his retinue chase their final quarry of the Midwinter Season, Reynard the Fox, who is a wily opponent. Meanwhile, in a last ditch effort to achieve her goals, Lady Bertilak catches Gawain off guard, bringing her every charm to bear before her husband at last returns...


    Martin’s 25-part comic retelling of the iconic Arthurian poem, folding in several other legends pertaining to Gawain including The Knight With The Sword, Sir Gawain and the Carle of Carlisle, The Loathly Lady, and The Perilous Chapel.

    David England | Local Legends #26: Berkshire Dec 21, 2024
    Show notes

    On this week's episode of Local Legends, Martin is joined by storyteller, author and psychotherapist David England, whose book of Berkshire Folk Tales uncovered a wealth of lost and brilliant stories.


    As we discuss, David made a wild change in his career during the 90's, jettisoning his job in IT and selling his house to retrain as a storyteller, then hit the road.


    This opened up a wealth of possibilities, including collaborating with Tina Bilbe, the Secretary of the Society for Storytelling on Berkshire Folk Tales, and working with poet Jennie Ruth Bailey on his second book, Lancashire Folk Tales.


    Unfortunately, Tina is no longer with us, but is warmly remembered in this chat, not least for her work, scouring archives for the stories which made up the collection David put to paper.


    As he recounts, these include a wild range of stories, from epic Viking battles to the near-burning of a Saxon queen to legends of milk-hungry dragons, cannibalistic landlords, and wizards getting spanked out of town.


    With David also being an acclaimed psychotherapist, whose book Soulfulness blends contemporary therapies with ancient shamanic practices, as you might expect, this is a rich interview, filled with warmth, anecdotes, and David's reflections on his own retelling of Gawain and the Green Knight, which available on YouTube.


    To learn more David and his work, do visit his website – https://www.davidengland.co.uk/ – which links to his books, storytelling videos, and more.
