On this month's update episode we're chatting all about April Fool's Day - which is happening right now!

After recapping the key traditions associated with Spring pranking from Scotland to Iran, we share a bunch of our news, including about our new FREE digital magazine, Quarters!

The first edition, The Fool, is 72-pages long and includes interviews with Ben Edge, Rory Waterman, and tonnes of cool seasonal stuff we really hope will inspire you to feel creative and hopeful across the weeks ahead.

We also share updates about our next book Three Ravens Ghost Tales, the cover for which we will reveal TOMORROW, share word of our upcoming Live Shows in April, May and June, and we have of course included the opening chunks of our two Patreon Exclusive episodes from across March.

These teasers are the first 25 minutes of our chunky discussion about the history and the contents of The Mabinogion, the foundational text of Welsh mythology and culture, which is followed by the opening part of our March Film Club episode about Ridley Scott's 1985 fantasy adventure film Legend.

We really hope you enjoy this smorgasbord of audio delights, and speak to you tomorrow on the first episode of our new series of The Lang Fairy Tales on which we will be retelling and discussing the stories collected in The Red Fairy Book assembled by Victorian linguists Nora and Andrew Lang.

Three Ravens is a Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.

Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on a historic county, exploring the heritage, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...

Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.

With a range of exclusive content on Patreon too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?
