Podcast appearances and mentions of Mark Norman

In the second episode of the Seven County Witch Hunt Project podcast mini-series, we look at the accusations that were being levelled against people accused of witchcraft in the English witch hunts of the 17th century. Were these people in league with the Devil, or did the accusations reflect other tensions within the community? We also dispel some myths about the witch hunters themselves, particularly Matthew Hopkins.The Seven County Witch Hunt Project podcast series is produced by The Folklore Podcast, and host Mark Norman is in conversation with Professor Marion Gibson and Dr Tabitha Stanmore.The Seven County Witch Hunt Project was based at the University of Exeter, and funded by the Leverhulme Trust.

Scotland has a broad mix of folklore. Some is found elsewhere, or has variations in other areas, and some is unique to the country. Some is well-known and some is much more obscure.In this episode of The Folklore Podcast, host Mark Norman is in conversation with Scottish writer Lyndsey Croal about the subject. Lyndsey often works with elements of Scottish lore, most recently that connected with the sea which she uses to good effect in a collection of short stories recently published under the title Dark Crescent.

Guest: Vice-Admiral (Ret'd) Mark Norman, Canada's former vice chief of defence staff, retired leader of the Royal Canadian Navy.

In the years 1645–1647, when England was embroiled in a traumatic and bloody Civil War, roughly three hundred people in the South East were accused of witchcraft. Received wisdom — and some shameless self-promotion on the part of the chief investigators — has dictated that the largest witch-hunt in English history was driven by the obsessive enthusiasm of two men: John Stearne and Matthew Hopkins, the self-appointed Witchfinder General. Much of the scholarship surrounding the so-called “Hopkins Trials” trials has focused on these two men, placing them centre-stage in a story that affected hundreds, if not thousands, of people.“England's Mass Witch-Hunt: A Seven County History of the Hunt” is a Leverhulme-funded Project run by Professor Marion Gibson and Dr Tabitha Stanmore. The aim is to create a people's history of the witchcraft trials of 1645–1647 and to recover the voices which were once deemed unimportant: the accused women and men, their neighbours and accusers.This 6-part mini-series produced by The Folklore Podcast and hosted by folklorist Mark Norman uncovers the stories and findings of the project. In discussion with Marion and Tabitha, we bring these new stories to a global audience for the first time.Follow the project on BlueSky at https://bsky.app/profile/witches7hunt.bsky.socialRead the project blog at https://medium.com/@Witches7Hunt

This episode of The Folklore Podcast is an interview of two halves, as host Mark Norman sits down to chat with herbalist and writer Su Bristow.In an interview recorded live at Su's dining table, the first half of the show explores her work as a herbalist. We chat about the history of using plants in folk medicine, the approaches used and how valuable or otherwise volumes such as Culpeper's Herbal are in the modern world. Su discusses her techniques and dispels some of the myths about herbal treatments and plants in folklore.Moving on from this, the conversation turns to Su's writing. As well as two non-fiction books on herbalism, Su is also the author of two folklore-themed novels. The conversation begins with her prize-winning first novel 'Sealskin' which is a reimagining of the Scottish selkie legends, before turning to 'The Fair Folk' and a foray into fairy folklore.Finally, Su discusses the novel that she is currently working on, and reads a short extract from her work in progress.Find Su on the internet at https://subristow.weebly.com/To help to keep The Folklore Podcast going and producing even more folklore content, please consider joining the Patreon page at www.patreon.com/thefolklorepodcast with a small monthly donation from just £1.

It's Prime Minister Carney's first Speech from the Throne. Heather Exner-Pirot, Mark Norman, and Margaret McCuaig-Johnston look into what's been promised – on No Nonsense with Pamela Wallin. 

Today were talking hazardous materials, detection technology, and how it's reshaping our work in the fire and rescue services.Joining me is Dr. Mark L. Norman, a Senior Field Applications Scientist at 908 Devices and a leading subject matter expert in optical detection technologies. With over 20 years of experience in hazmat detection systems for emergency response, Mark brings both scientific expertise and real-world insight. He holds a Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry from UNC-Chapel Hill, has authored peer-reviewed publications — including a 2003 collaboration with NASA climatologists — and is an inventor on two patents related to hazardous gas and vapor identification.In our conversation, we talk about the evolution of detection technology — from lab-based instruments to field-deployable units — and the shift that happened post-9/11 when incidents like the anthrax letters drove new levels of investment and innovation. We also unpack common hazmat misconceptions, the difference between gases and vapors, acute vs chronic exposures, and why understanding things like molecular weight and vapor density can literally save lives at the fireground.My hope is this gives you a clearer understanding of how to approach hazmat incidents more confidently, why good detection equipment matters, and how new threats like EV battery fires and fentanyl contamination are pushing the sector to adapt fast.So If you're a firefighter, incident commander, hazmat operator, or someone who just wants to deepen their operational awareness, this episode is packed with practical, relevant insight that will help you do the job better and safer.Connect with Dr. Mark Norman HEREACCESS THE PODCAST LIBRARY & EVERY EPISODE, DEBRIEF & DOCUMENT CLICK HEREPODCAST GIFT - Get your FREE subscription to essential Firefighting publications HERE A big thanks to our partners for supporting this episode.GORE-TEX Professional ClothingMSA The Safety CompanyIDEXFIRE & EVACUATION SERVICE LTD HAIX Footwear - Get offical podcast discount on HAIX HEREXendurance - to hunt performance & endurance 20% off HERE with code ffp20Lyfe Linez -  Get Functional Hydration FUEL for FIREFIGHTERS, Clean no sugar  for daily hydration. 80% of people live dehydratedSend us a textSupport the show***The views expressed in this episode are those of the individual speakers.

Mark Norman is an English folklore researcher, author, lecturer and host of The Folklore Podcast in Devon, England. We begin with comparative readings about spectral road dogs in Virginia and in England. Mark tells us a bit about his county, of ship scuttlers & Wistman's Wood. Looking for the oldest written account of ghostly black dogs in the United Kingdom, we hear of The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle and a wild hunt of demonic hunters. From there we focus in on the lore: the Black Shuck event at Bungay & Blythburgh churches in 1577; black dog sightings as omens of death; and protective spirit dogs. We end on how landscape features become part of folklore, the future of folklore, and the winter tradition of Wassailing around the apple orchard.

For this week's episode of Local Legends, Martin has gathered round the campfire to talk all things Devon with folklorist, author, and host of The Folklore Podcast, Mark Norman.If you like a bit of folklore, particularly in podcast form, you're likely already acquainted with Mark, or with some of his work at least, as he is the creator and host of ‘the big show' when it comes to all things folkloric. The Folklore Podcast launched in 2016 and since then has become one of the biggest folklore podcasts in the world. For the show, Mark and a team of other fellow presenters interview world-class experts in the field of folklore and share their research with a wide audience, spreading their knowledge on a global scale. Outside of The Folklore Podcast though, Mark is a very busy person. He lives in Devon and is an independent folklore researcher and author, as well as an elected council member of The Folklore Society. His books include Black Dog Folklore from 2016, Telling the Bees and other Customs from 2020, and the focus of our chat today, The Folklore of Devon which came out in paperback just the other day. Mark has contributed to other books and magazines on areas of folklore and traditional belief, too, and he is the curator of The Folklore Library and Archive. Plus, and his most recent book, Zoinks!, looks at folklore through the lens of Scooby Doo – something which speaks to Mark's nature as a fun, imaginative, playful sort of person who approaches sometimes surprising subjects with rigour and passion. In this chat, we cover all of this and a lot else, including "Scone Politics," why Devon has quite so many black dog legends, strategies for avoiding malevolent faeries, the menace of Worzel Gummage, the Hairy Hands of Dartmoor, and much more besides!To learn more Mark and his work, do visit The Folklore Podcast website – thefolklorepodcast.com – which links to his books, his social media accounts, and his other work.And we will be back on Monday with an all-new County Episode all about the history and folklore of Huntingdonshire!The 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.

Despite lessons learned from 9/11 and the pandemic, are we really any better prepared for crisis? We'll ask the No Nonsense Panel with Mark Norman, Tasha Kheiriddin, and Margaret McCuaig-Johntson.

First, Celestia recounts the Skeptic Track at Dragon Con, and Ben discusses a rabbit hole he went down after receiving a press release on some alleged new Champ footage. Then we welcome back folklorist Mark Norman, who discusses black dog folklore (also the title of one of his books), specifically the Barguest or Shuck. Spectral canines can be hellhounds, guardians or neutral entities, and have a surprisingly long history -- as long as humans have been in the company of dogs, one might suppose. Norman discusses the difference between a typical ghost and a "folk ghost," and goes into the very first recorded "haunted house" in ancient Greece and how it led to ghosts being envisioned with chains. From the Hound of the Baskervilles and Sirius Black/Padfoot in the Harry Potter series to a metaphorical black dog representing depression, we look into what's connected to this folklore and what isn't.

Send us a Text Message.Scooby Panel #91 - I had the pleasure of speaking with Mark Norman,  Author of Zoinks! The Spook Folklore Behind Scooby Doo.

Wherever we might be in the world, we find that folklore will always take on very specific regional variations: any area will have both its own unique stories and versions of other tales which have been shaped by local knowledge or events.In the UK, where the country is divided into counties, records vary very much from place to place. The country of Lincolnshire has some fascinating folklore and yet, historically, it has been quite overlooked in terms of collecting and recording these stories.A new project, based at Nottingham Trent University, seeks to redress the perceived imbalance. On this episode of the podcast, creator and host Mark Norman is joined by Dr Anna Milon and Dr Rory Waterman to discuss the folklore of Lincolnshire and The Lincolnshire Folk Tales Project.You can visit the project website at https://lincolnshirefolktalesproject.com/To support The Folklore Podcast and help us to keep going, as well as getting access to extra member content, please consider joining our Patreon page at www.patreon.com/thefolklorepodcast

The Chinese fox is a symbol of intelligence, and has the ability to shapeshift for example.Exploring the folklore of the Asian countries, with particular reference to foxes, in this episode creator and host of the podcast Mark Norman is joined by New York Times bestselling author Yangsze Choo. Yangsze's novel 'The Ghost Bride' was serisalised and broadcast as a Netflix original series and her latest work 'The Fox Wife' draws on the Asin fox folklore that we explore.Find Yangsze online at https://yschoo.com/To support The Folklore Podcast in all of its work and access additional content, please visit www.patreon.com/thefolklorepodcast
