The Three Ravens is an independent myth and folklore podcast hosted by Eleanor Conlon and Martin Vaux.

Each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, 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, we 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...

Our first book, Three Ravens Folk Tales, will be released by major UK publisher The History Press on July 17th 2025.

Containing 39 original tellings, one for each of England's 39 historic counties, it collects all the tales from our first three series with brand new introductions offering historical context and links to heritage sites.

The stories span centuries, styles, tones, and genres, making them perfect for bedtimes, telling to the fairies at the bottom of the garden, or curling up with on the sofa and getting cosy!

~ Our Story ~

Three Ravens was launched in March 2023 and within a year had become one of the Top 1% of podcasts globally.

Having started with two £20 microphones (apologies for the early sound quality!) and a passion for folk culture and storytelling, little did we imagine we would find a global community of passionate listeners who we affectionately call "The Conspiracy of Ravens."

Having entered the Top 10 on the Apple Podcasts and Spotify UK Fiction Charts in both 2024 and 2025, and now ranked #6 on the GoodPods Top 100 Short Story Podcast Chart, with tens of thousands of listeners all over the world, we are so excited about the future, as we are only getting started!

Our Bonus Series

While County Episodes come out on Monday, we release Bonus Episodes on Thursdays and Saturdays.

Our Thursday series come out on rotation, and include Magic and Medicines, which is all about folk remedies and arcane spells, Three Ravens Bestiary, which is about cryptids and mythical creatures, Forgotten Melodies, which is about folk song types and includes original performances from Eleanor and our collaborator Ben Harber, and Magus, a series about the lives of famous witches and wizards from across history.

Between 2023 and 2024 we also released two 13-part Bonus Series which are now on hiatus: Dying Arts, which explored a diverse range of endangered heritage crafts, and Something Wicked, which was all about grisly true crimes from across the world of folklore.

Then, on Saturdays, since April 2024 we have been releasing our interview series Local Legends, where we speak to acclaimed folklorists, authors, podcasters and historians with special links to the county we are speaking about that week.
