Episode 369: Running with the Wolves - Werewolves in Folklore and Speculative Fiction Part 1

In a previous episode, the dragons discussed shapeshifters in folklore and fiction, however they did not devote much time to the European, UK and Irish cryptid - the werewolf. In part one of a two part episode, Jules and Madeleine follow the changes this creature undergoes from early Medieval times to the modern day. Like many aspects of folklore, the werewolf has been shaped by historical events and changing mindsets, and is in many ways more representative of the broad sweeps of European history than its contemporary monsters. Join us for an episode which explains why everything you thought you knew about werewolves is wrong.
