  • A gem of a podcast

    The Three Ravens podcast has been a staple of my podcast listening for a little while now and Martin and Eleanor never disappoint. From the main podcast through to the bonus series and wonderful Patreon content, there’s so much fascinating folky goodness to be found. Loving the latest jaunt across the Atlantic to explore American folklore so far too. If you’ve not listened yet - why the heck not?!

Onwards and upwards, as I hope to one day proceed to my sophomore year. I also encourage others to si... more

  • Wonderful podcast

    I’ve been binging this absolutely charming podcast for a few weeks now.

    The stories are wonderful, but the Patreon exclusive content is absolutely brilliant. I’ve really enjoyed listening to episodes on crafts, songs and powerful witches and wizards of times past.

    The quality is consistently excellent which is impressive given their release schedule!

Eleanor and Martin are wonderfully talented and enthusiastic hosts (who I’m now in a para-social relationship with btw. Don’t tell them).

    It’s easy to get hooked on the heady mix of history, folklore and storytelling they’ve concocted. And that’s okay! As they have a back catalogue of hundreds of episodes to satiate ... more
