Giants & Dragonslayers

Today we delve into giants and dragonslayers by travelling deep into Hertfordshire to the sleepy village of Brent Pelham with author Christopher Hadley. We also discover an ancient Bronze Age barrow behind an Asda in Stevenage and the brilliant Simon Pegg reads Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky! Enjoy.

FolkLands is an audio adventure into the weird and forgotten folklore, myths, mysteries and haunted locations of the British Isles.

Hosted by Tim Downie (Toast of London, Outlander, Upstart Crow, Paddington) and Justin Chubb (co-star and creator of Sky Atlantic’s This is Jinsy).

Filled with original music and inspired by the cult 1973 Reader’s Digest Folklore Myths and Legends of Great Britain, we are setting out on a quest to peel back the layers of time and 70s nostalgia to investigate centuries-old rituals and beliefs, welcoming some sinister moments and chills along the way.
