  • 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?!

  • My new favorite podcast!

The podcast is a fantastic night ride with two spinners of yarns, mythology, folklore, history, humor, and a wee bit of the trickster thrown in for good measure! Indeed, I thought I knew a bit about that stuff, having consumed much of it for many decades…however, listening to their many many MANY podcasts, it makes me feel like I’m a freshman at Hogwarts! 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!

  • A treasure trove!

    I’ve been listening to Three Ravens for a few months now. A career change allowing me the time and space to finally do the whole podcast thing. What an absolute delight it’s been! 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

  • A Cornucopia of Folklore and Stories

    Eleanor and Martin’s delight and passion for all things folklorish, legendary, magical, and esoteric are infectious, as are their laughter and charm.

    This podcast delivers more content each week than any other I know - presenting a wide variety research on myths, creatures, spells, crafts, historical figures, music, and much more. As well beautifully written and read original stories inspired by the material.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Three Ravens Ghost Tales Book Launch | Live @ Much Ado Books
Q: How do you decide the order of the stories in the book, and how do you ensure variety in narrators and perspectives?
We arrange the stories to balance tone, length, and voice, ensuring no single narrator dominates and that the sequence offers a dynamic arc, often pairing complementary tales and alternating between male, female, and non-binary narrations.
Three Ravens Ghost Tales Book Launch | Live @ Much Ado Books
Q: What prompted you to transition from folk tale retellings to original ghost stories?
We wanted to explore fear from a personal perspective and experiment with imagination while staying rooted in England, with stories that could still scare us while remaining accessible and grounded in folklore.
Jeff Belanger | Local Legends #76
Q: How did Jeff start collecting and sharing folklore?
Jeff describes starting with interviews, writing for newspapers, and then launching ghostvillage.com as a crowdsourced hub, which expanded into books, a TV series, and a long-running podcast, all built on community-contributed stories.
New Hampshire | Series 8 Episode 3
Q: What is New Hampshire actually like?
The hosts describe New Hampshire as a place of rugged landscapes, a strong libertarian identity, historic border disputes, and a rich tapestry of folklore from Oceanborn Mary to Passaconaway, with a mix of colonial history and Indigenous heritage shaping its character.
Dr Gabrielle Tayac | Local Legends #74
Q: What places would you recommend to visitors seeking to understand Native American life in the 13 colonies region?
She recommends museums like the Tamaquag Museum, the Seneca Museum, and the National Museum of the American Indian, plus attending powwows and visiting Cherokee communities to experience living culture.
