Podcast appearances and mentions of robert lloyd parry

On this week's Haunting Season-themed Local Legends episode, the second of four, Martin gathers round the Three Ravens campfire with the acclaimed actor, art historian, and expert in classic ghost stories Robert Lloyd Parry.In case you've not heard of him, since 2005 Rob has been engaged in "The M.R. James Project," a set of performances where Rob, dressed and in character as 'The Father of the Modern Ghost Story,' performs James' terrifying tales to much acclaim, including from the likes of The Times and Sunday Times, The Washington Post, The Guardian, The Fortean Times, The Spectator, and The New Yorker, who said of the M.R. James Project, “Lloyd Parry's mastery of the role is itself an act of possession.”That's not to say Rob is a one trick pony – far from it. He read Classics at Oxford, completed his MA in Greek and Roman Art History at The University of London's Courtauld Institute of Art, and, as an art historian and museum interpreter, he researches and writes websites, audio and multimedia guides, apps, books, and guides for leading museums, galleries and heritage sites including the likes of The British Museum, Tate Britain, The National Gallery, The Fitzwilliam Museum, Royal Academy, and many, many more. In this interview, we focus in on M.R. James and classic ghost stories, discussing writers like Algernon Blackwood, H.G. Wells, H.P. Lovecraft, Charles Dickens, Arthur Conan Doyle, Oscar Wilde, and many others. What makes them so brilliant, and which of their tales would Rob recommend? Moreover, what made M.R. James such a special, singular writer whose influence on weird fiction is probably greater than any writer of the last 200 years?Gather close around the Three Ravens campfire as we get into it, and if you would like to see Rob live (an experience which highly recommend) do visit his theatre company's website and check his upcoming dates at https://www.nunkie.co.uk/scheduleOtherwise, we'll be back on Monday with our third trio of Haunting Season original ghost stories for 2024. So, see you then. We'll be the ones hiding in the shadows... 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. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays (Magic and Medicines about folk remedies and arcane spells, Three Ravens Bestiary about cryptids and mythical creatures, Dying Arts about endangered heritage crafts, and Something Wicked about folkloric true crime from across history) plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcast Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Hello there, come in, come in.  Yes, it is dark isn't it?  The nights draw in ever so quickly these days.  There's a real bite in the air now - you'd almost think it was Winter!  Here, let me take that coat from you.  You must be freezing.  Blowing quite a gale out there, by the sounds of it.  You know, I remember a night like this oh.., many years back, when I was at school with old Monty.  Hah!  Now, there was a character and no mistake.  Famed for his fireside stories.  There's one he told me that fair set the hairs on the back of my neck a-rising (back when I was a wee lad, you understand.)  He wrote it down later and, do you know, I believe I have a copy of it somewhere.  Let me see... Come, fetch yourself a warm drink, if you haven't one already.  Take your ease.  There's warm cocoa in the pan, and I'm sure I can find something a little stronger to slip in, to help warm your bones.  Lovely.  Ah, here's the tale!  It's called 'Lost Hearts.'  Got yer drink?  Marvellous. Oh dear, the cat's jumped up on me now, and she does so hate to be disturbed. Be a good fellow will you, and turn the lights down.  The fire's picking up, and I do like to see it in it's glory. Ahhh, there's nothing more companiable... Now then, 'It was, as far as I can ascertain, in September of the year 1811...' Lost Hearts' was written by Montague Rhodes James.  It is performed here by Dion Winton-Polak, from the Scrolls podcast. This reading incorporates the following sounds, downloaded from freesound: 127254 howling-wind-real-02 and 127253 howling-wind-real-01 by klankbeeld (http://www.freesound.org/people/klankbeeld/) 27862 061226-fire-ms957 by ermine (http://www.freesound.org/people/ermine/) 156970 fireplace by martats (http://www.freesound.org/people/martats/) 44322 fireplace by inchadney (http://www.freesound.org/people/inchadney/) 151346 creaking-floor-upstairs by alienxxx (http://www.freesound.org/people/AlienXXX/) If you enjoyed 'Lost Hearts' I can highly recommend seeking out the work of Robert Lloyd Parry, a performer who puts my humble effort to shame.  His theatrical schedule can be found at http://www.nunkie.co.uk/ as can the dvds & cds of his work.  He will be appearing at the Abertoir festival this year. You may also wish to seek out A Podcast To The Curious,  dedicated to the ghost stories of MR James. Happy Halloween.
