Phil Lowe and his expert guests dig into the history and folklore of Somerset.

Apologies, listeners, the podcast is on hold as Phil has moved to Devon. Unforgiveable... and it means no more history and folklore for a while.

      Danger - Poets in the Quantocks!
      Nov 28 2025

      Drug addiction, marital breakups, professional rivalries - yes life for an 18th century creative artist wasn't so different from today. So Coleridge found when he settled in Nether Stowey north of Taunton, followed by his great friend William Wordsworth. We examine Coleridge and Wordsworth's time in Somerset - a period when they created the Romantic Poetry movement and also succumbed to Laudanum addiction and professional rivalry.

    • The Mythology of Murder

      The Mythology of Murder
      Nov 14 2025

      250 years ago, a Somerset woman was murdered by her husband. He was investigated, found guilty, and executed. So why 50 years later was he being eulogised as a prime specimen of masculinity? And what does this have to do with the earthwork in the Quantocks known as "Dead Woman's Ditch"? Join me and my guest as we explore 18th century "fake news" and see what truth we can shake from it.

      Join me and my guest, archeologist and folklore expert Dan Broadbent - and please don't have nightmares...
