In the first full episode of Three Ravens Eleanor and Martin explore their home county of Sussex.

With the episode released on St Tibba's day, we discuss who St Tibba was, including the traditions around her, before delving into the history and folklore of 'Silly Sussex' - from the Lewes Bonfire to the Long Man of Wilmington, the Golden Calf of Trundle to the Baby-Eating Ogre of Hellingly.

Then it's time for the main event: Eleanor's telling of "Cuthman of Steyning and The Devil."

NOTE: Audio on early Three Ravens episodes is a bit sketchy. They improve from about Episode 5 onwards!

About Three Ravens 🔮

Three Ravens is a completely independent English myth and folklore podcast where we share stories, celebrate folk culture, and fall backwards through the hedgerows of history.

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.

Our research inspires our retellings of stories from across history and culture, with episodes standing alone but connected together across over 500 chatty, mostly light-hearted, swear-free installments driven by passion, kindness and curiosity.

Now ranked as an all-time Top 5 podcast across several categories by Goodpods, charting in the Spotify, Apple and Rephonic UK Fiction Top 10 across 2024, 2025 and 2026, if you’re interested in ghosts, monsters, regional beliefs, and the things that unite us all, then join us round the campfire and listen in…
