Rich Blackett from The Folk Horror Revival joins us to talk about his passion: werewolves. How far does the werewolf myth go back? We explore the concept of wolf warriors, berserkers in connection with tribal cultures, Greece, Rome and even Ireland. Rich also addresses the werewolf panic of the middles ages and whether or not the use of psychoactive drugs played a part in transforming "man" into a wolfish beast.
