On the first episode of Series 2 of The Three Ravens Podcast, Martin and Eleanor head to Cumberland, England's most north-westerly county.

With the episode released just before St Benedict's Day, they discuss the tenets of, and assassination attempts against, the "Father of Western Monasticism," then scramble up the Pennine Hills to discuss the history and folklore of Cumberland - from Hadrian's Wall and the court of Eveling, England's faerie king, to rumours of winged hedgehogs, a spectral monk who cried himself to death, the legend of the outlaw Adam Bell, and much more besides. Then it's time for the main event: Martin's telling of "Long Meg and her Daughters."
