Introducing… Folklore Matters

The team behind the National Folklore Survey for England have launched a brand new podcast, Folklore Matters.

Folklore Matters is a podcast that seeks to understand why the profile of folklore in England has never seemed higher. David Clarke, Sophie Parkes-Nield, and Diane Rodgers speak to a variety of people working with or researching folklore to find out more about their work, how they discovered folklore, and to get their thoughts on the findings of the National Folklore Survey for England.

Folklore Matters is produced by Sophie Parkes-Nield, edited by Diane A. Rodgers, and presented by Sophie and Diane with Dave Clarke.

The intro and first episode of Folklore Matters is available now. You can listen to it by searching for ‘Folklore Matters’ in the places where you usually source your podcasts. Alternatively, you can visit our Captivate site here.

Folklore Matters is produced by Sophie Parkes-Nield, edited by Diane Rodgers, and presented by David Clarke, Sophie Parkes-Nield, and Diane Rodgers. With thanks to all our guests, Dr Lily Canter for her expert advice and guidance, Paul Dorrington for the music, and to Mark Pashley for accommodating us in the radio studio at Sheffield Hallam University.
