The ancient Irish kingdom of Ossary is awash with werewolf stories. Here, your soul can transform into a wolf in your sleep and marauding war bands are wolves in disguise. If you roam the woods outside of Meath, you might find yourself in conversation with a wolf-man, too. Join us this week for two stories of beastly transformation and the nature of man.

For the first episode in our series of interviews with successful folklore writers and creators, we were lucky enough to be able to sit down with Martin and Eleanor from the Three Ravens Podcast to talk to them about their creative influences, how they put the show together and what interests them most about folklore.

In the far north west of Northumberland, there is a village where a wicked witch once lived: a wicked witch who hoarded her money and blighted her neighbours' crops and cursed the village. Or did she? Meg of Meldon is a tricky character to pin down. The stories about her are many, and the truths are scarce. Did she really hide all her gold in a bullhide bag at the bottom of the estate well? Or is it under the bridge where her ghost can often be seen? And what about her pact with the devil? The problem with Meg of Meldon is that she has been such a well-told local tale for so long that it is difficult to know where the truth ends and the tales begin. This week, Sam and Nikki try two different tales to unpick the riddle of Meg. Join us!

This Valentine's Day, we say beware the elf knight! Rather than lean in to the romance, we're taking a look at how seemingly romantic encounters can end up being cautionary tales. Join us for two stories about dastardly rakes, fearless young women and murderous love. No parrots allowed.
