This is the penultimate episode for this season and the penultimate episode for the podcast as I have decided to stop at five seasons so that I can concentrate on the book deadlines I have and create some space to develop new ideas. Don’t worry, I have plenty of those. I will no doubt be back next year with a new podcast that explores heritage, landscape and stories in new ways.

The spring is here at last and it's time to start sowing the seeds that will provide food for the table in the summer. This month’s theme is ‘Reap What You Sow’ and for this episode I have some nature journaling from the garden as I plant up some dwarf fruit trees, the ballad ‘All The Chickens In The Garden’ the folklore of fruit and vegetables and the story of ‘The Farmer & The Boggart’.

On occasion there are dark folkloric characters explored in this podcast and so, as always,  I would recommend that you should listen through first before listening with younger members of your household.

For episode 3 of Season 3 there was a tie between ‘The Dreadful Wind & Rain' and ‘A Poultry Offer’ and so I made the executive decision to go with ‘A Poultry Offer’. It may amuse listeners to know though that I recorded the outdoor chat with the chickens during the tail end of Storm Awen so in a way the two themes have ended up combined in this episode. 

For this episode I'm introducing you to my three pom poms of peril, also known as bantam chickens, singing an amusing ballad about a fox out hunting for his dinner,  talking about the folklore of geese, turkeys and chickens, and telling the epic story of Chanticleer & Partlet, two dark and murderous chickens.

It's here! It's finally here! Season 3 has arrived and the podcast has had a bit of a makeover. I really hope you will like the new format which includes me taking you on a ramble, singing and of course lots of folklore and a story.

For this episode patrons chose, 'Beneath The Snowy Thorn'  and so I'm taking you on a tour of  my local hedgerows, singing the ballad of Thomas De Rhymer, talking about the folklore of the flora and fauna of UK hedgerows and telling the story of Yallery Brown.

Due to the nature of the subject covered in this podcast I would recommend this as adult listening and that you should listen through first before listening with younger members of your household. 

In the extended version of this episode, you can hear more about the mythology of death, where you go once you're gone and some of the ways different cultures celebrate and pay their respect to their dead. The second story from lore is my original story, 'The Legend Of The Banshee.'
