On this week's episode of The Three Ravens Podcast, Eleanor and Martin wend their way to Worcestershire, home of the famous sauce which, turns out, is made from fermented fish!
With the episode released on St Neot's Day, they discuss his life of crow conversion and fox frustration, chat about Lughnasa, then paddle down the River Severn to explore the history and folklore of Worcestershire - from black pears and haunted priest holes to the Witch of Pebworth, the faeries of Osebury Rock, the Curse of Raggedstone Hill, and much more besides.
Then it's time for the main event: Eleanor's telling of "The Legend of the Swan."
About Three Ravens š®
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 āThe Conspiracy of Ravens.ā
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 youāre interested in ghosts, monsters, regional beliefs, and the things that unite us all, then join us round the campfire and listen inā¦
