The Three Ravens Podcast

For the first Lang Fairy Tales episode of this 'between series break' we have an absolute classic - The Goose Girl.

If you like talking decapitated horse heads, cheeky goose boys and a good ol' fashioned tale of comeuppance, this one's definitely for you.

If you are unfamiliar with the Lang Fairy Tales, these seminal collections were assembled between 1889 and 1913 by a married couple, folklorists and translators Nora and Andrew Lang, with most of the work done to compile them completed by Nora, also known as Leonora Blanche Alleyne.

Assembled and published in 12 colour-coded "Fairy Books," the corpus the Langs put together included 798 fairy tales from across cultures, many of which had never before been translated into English.

They were amongst the most influential books of their time, changing the course of children's literature - although they're hardly just for children, and often deal with quite challenging concepts.

Today, purchasing a complete set of the Lang Fairy Books in good condition costs over £4,000 ($5,000+).

Thankfully, the collections are all out of copyright, meaning that we can now tell these stories, in podcast form, many for the first time, and share them with a global audience, for free.

Our plan is to release the stories between main series of Three Ravens, performing them straight (though with plenty of silly voices) letting the tales speak for themselves in all their madcap, sharp-edged, often quite bizarre glory.

The only edits we have made are to amend some culturally-insensitive epithets, which typically pertain to ethnicity, with any such edits made by Eleanor Conlon.

About Three Ravens 🔮

Hosted by real-life couple Eleanor Conlon and Martin Vaux, and mostly recorded at our home in rural Sussex in southern England, Three Ravens is rated 4.8/5 from over 500 reviews and has grown by word of mouth care of our lovely listener community ‘The Conspiracy of Ravens.’

We release three episodes a week, on Mondays, Thursday and Saturdays, through which we explore folktales, folkways, fairy stories, folk songs, mythology, local heritage, seasonal customs and traditional beliefs.

It's just beginning to get dark at Three Ravens HQ, when a booming knock sounds on the front door. Who should be outside but Tony Walker, host of the Classic Ghost Stories podcast and author of Christmas Ghost Stories?

Tony just can't seem to get himself warm, even by the roaring fire in the Great Hall, but he's certainly got a tale to tell, so cuddle close and don't peer too closely into the shadows.

Unless, of course, it's not really Tony at all...

The final part of the Three Ravens Christmas Feast 2025 concludes with a festive sing song, as Ben and Eleanor entertain us with their new version of I Saw Three Ships.

So let's take to the dance floor, raise a glass, and our laughter and songs will drive back the dark for another year.

Our stomachs are groaning after all the tasty festive food we've consumed (with or without gravy), and we're ready for a little sit down and some stories with our second guest at the Three Ravens Christmas Feast, Taffy Thomas MBE.

Taffy is the UK's first Storytelling Laureate, and a long time friend of Three Ravens.

Join us now in the Haunted Conservatory for a lovely conversation, midwinter stories, and a special Christmas message from the King of Stories.

We'll be back once the shadows are lengthening, for something decidedly spookier, with Tony Walker, author of Christmas Ghost Stories and host of the Classic Ghost Stories podcast, and a bit of seasonal music...

Welcome, friend, to the Three Ravens Christmas Feast! It's the big day itself, and we're starting with a cosy chat (after our festive breakfast buffet, of course) with Dr Sarah Clegg, author of The Dead of Winter: The Demons, Witches and Ghosts of Christmas.

In this sparkling conversation, part of our six episode Yuletide binge, Martin and Sarah talk about lesser known Christmas traditions to modern pagan rituals. If we can't keep the darkness at bay, might not it be fun to let it in a little? 

Join us after lunch in the Haunted Conservatory for storytelling and a special Christmas message from Taffy Thomas MBE, the UK's first Storytelling Laureate and crowned King of Stories.

Welcome back to the third day of the Three Ravens Christmas Feast, where we meet in the Raven Tower for an all-new festive tale of terror!

Following in the tradition of M.R. James, E.F. Benson, and Charles Dickens, it feels only right to cozy up and listen to something scary on Christmas Eve.

This year it's Martin's turn, with a contemporary story that finds supernatural investigators Finnegan Spenser and Oona St Clair facing down a poltergeist that's terrorizing a listed Somerset farmhouse during 'The Darkening' - an obscure pagan festival that begins at Midwinter and stretches through to Christmas Eve.

They have strict orders to get home by Christmas itself, yet, as they uncover the secretive and macabre habits of their latest clients they find themselves isolated, threatened, and seeking answers to a wider conspiracy.

One that might just involve the disappearance of three young women, vicious attacks by a costumed "Lord of Misrule" and the machinations of an ancient demon promising power in exchange for earthly rebirth...

Good morrow, honoured guest! We hope you slept well, and weren't kept awake by too many bumps in the night?

For on today's episode of the Three Ravens Christmas Feast we're convening in the Haunted Library with one of the most exciting British folk bands working today.

Lunatraktors, a.k.a. Carli Jefferson and Clair Le Couteur, have been making music together for over half a decade, releasing four ground-breaking albums and an E.P. that have earned them widespread acclaim, critical praise, and a passionate cult following.

Yet how did the pair get started on their musical journey? And how do they feel, as dedicated pagans, when the world turns dark and churches fill up with people singing songs about Jesus?

Because, as the pair explain, the kinds of festive music they like to sing and make speaks to something beyond religion, offering light in a gloom that can feel oppressive in its abundance, though rich with magic, mystery and half-forgotten traditions.

Featuring thrilling versions of The Holly and the Ivy, Remember The Poor, Lully Lullay, Wassail and their brand new single, Yarrow, settle in for a journey through Christmas music both past and present - not to mention in that strange place in between, where room sounds guide rhythms, feet stamp, and voices soar like wild shaman wailing at the wind...

Welcome, friend, to the Three Ravens Christmas Feast - we're still at 'Meal Prep' stage, but come inside and warm up by the fire!

To begin our six episode Yuletude binge in style we're going to head to the kitchens deep beneath Three Ravens HQ to have a chat with Dr Neil Buttery, the award-winning food historian and host of the British Food History Podcast.

Because what should be included in a traditional English Christmas lunch? As Neil explains, it's not straightforward to work it out, and along the way we discuss why Mince Pies used to have meat in them, what prompted Medieval and Tudor monarchs to start baking absolutely everything in pastry, the surprisingly late arrival of the potato on English dinner plates, and much more besides!

Oh, and don't mind the spectral hands floating about the place.

They're a gift from Baba Yaga...

A new telling of a classic tale based on Slavic folklore, this special Three Ravens winter story is our bonus mini series for Advent 2025.

Split into 21 parts, with one released every day up to Midwinter, the tale follows Vasilisa, a young girl who is uprooted from her life and thrown into adventures which carry her through the dark forest to find herself.

Vasilisa reaches home at last...

Eleanor’s 21-part fantasy coming-of-age adventure rooted in Slavic folktales, following a seemingly unremarkable girl sent on an epic, war-time quest by the witch Baba Yaga, who tasks her with stealing a fern flower from the dark and dangerous sorcerer Koschei The Deathless.
