The Three Ravens Podcast1 Elo 2025

Chapter 1 - Like Summer’s Vapours | Dog Days: A Kit Marlowe Mystery

As long heralded, and under the influence of the Canis Dog Star, we warmly present the first installment of our Bonus Series project for August 2025!

Set in 1589, Dog Days follows young English playwright, poet, spy and bounder Christopher 'Kit' Marlowe who, when we meet him, is fast asleep and drenched with sweat in his newly-acquired rooms in Norton Folgate, London.

Yet, beneath the sweltering summer heat, Kit has quite a lot on his plate - including French Catholic agents trying to kill him, a new play script he owes to the Earl of Oxford, a secret mission he has been tasked with by Sir Francis Walsingham, his relationship with his new bedfellow, Barnaby Raynott, and then there's the matter of the strange girl who appears at his window bringing news that he really does not want to hear.

Our jointly-written 30-part magical adventure set in Elizabethan London, centred on the playwright, spy and queer icon Christopher Marlowe. In this first adventure, follow Kit as his work for spymaster Sir Francis Walsingham during an August heatwave drags him into a hidden world of warring wizards.

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…
