Into The Black Meadow

Folklands, created, written and presented by Tim Downey and Justin Chubb.

Episode 39, Into the Black Meadow.

Good morning, everybody.

Oh, that's nice.

Hello.

I always love these Sunday mornings at these festivals.

They feel like a really nice, gentle introduction to the day.

Having said that, I've just had the strongest coffee that I've drank for years and years.

I'm normally decaf, and I've just had this ridiculously strong coffee, so I feel like I'm bouncing off the walls.

I'm like Spud in Trainspotting at the moment.

I feel like I'm coming up.

So apologies if I gabble.

Thank you for coming to day three of the Hand of Glory Folklore Festival.

My name is Bob Fisher.

I am your host all day.

I'm a writer for the Fortean Times Magazine, so I've seen some weird stuff in my time.

Really grateful to you all for coming along.

Right, I am going to stop gabbling like someone who's just drank a really strong cup of coffee, and I'm going to introduce our first panel of the day.

This is really exciting.

So we are actually doing a podcast this morning.

Is it the afternoon? It's the afternoon now, isn't it? I'll rephrase.

We are actually doing a podcast this afternoon.

This is going to be an episode of Folklands.

So please welcome to the stage the presenters of the Folklands podcast, Justin Chubb and Tim Downey.
