Today we’re getting out our hiking boots and heading into the mountains to dive into the world of the Gwragedd Annwn: the water women of the Welsh lakes. We start with the most famous lake lady of all - the keeper of Excalibur in the legends of King Arthur - before finding ourselves in the Brecon Beacons for the story of Rhiwallon and the Lady of Llyn y Fan Fach. The first of a three-part mini-series.

We’re talking to Rob Jones of Black Dog Zine - a striking new publication looking at East Anglian landscape and lore. We talk cities that fell in the sea, black dogs, white dogs and green children. Plus our relationship with the landscape around us, experimental music scenes, “deep touristing” and the lingering touch of MR James. Not to be missed!

Welcome to our maiden voyage! This is the first of 2 episodes on the folklore of Midsummer - that period celebrated between 19 - 25 June, with Midsummer's Day traditionally falling on the 24. We'll be providing context for sun worship in the modern age, pausing for a moment to smell the damn roses, and issuing a warning about stone circles that come alive and dance on Old Midsommers Eve...
