In today's episode of Dog Days, Kit Marlowe finally arrives at work, where he finds the entire company of The Theatre, under Ned Alleyne, awaiting the arrival of his new script: Tamburlaine The Great Part 2.Yet Kit is unwilling to part with his pages until he gets paid. Which is why we find him outside of the Earl of Oxford's rooms, negotiating with a private guard who is as thick as mince while a company of increasingly hot and sweaty actors wait in the yard, trying not to look at what Oxford, a.k.a. Edward de Vere, is up to in the "Lord's Room" that happens to be fully visible to anyone below The Theatre's oak-beamed gallery...We hope that this one makes you laugh as much as it might disturb, and can't wait for you to hear tomorrow's episode, which will take us south of the river!Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcastProud members of the Dark Cast Network.Visit our website Join our Patreon Social media channels and sponsors Hosted on Acast.
