Podcasts about Wiltshire

Are the paths of Wiltshire stalked by a pagan deity in disguise? Usually on Loremen we recount tales that are seldom told, but this week is different. The legend of the Peaked Red One was, in fact, told by James and Alasdair at the Strange Days Festival of Forteana. But the sound quality was a bit bobbins, so we told our stories again, and here they are! There's ghosts, treasure and a little man with a pet trout. See the ⁠⁠Loremen LIVE in London on Oct 15th⁠⁠.

Wiltshire, ein früher Morgen: Nebel liegt über den Feldern, am Horizont ragen gewaltige Steine auf, die seit Jahrtausenden Rätsel aufgeben – Stonehenge. Errichtet in der Jungsteinzeit, mindestens 3000 v. Chr., besteht das Monument aus tonnenschweren Quadern, deren Transport bis heute ein ungelöstes Geheimnis bleibt. Zur Sommersonnenwende fällt ein Lichtstrahl exakt auf den Opferstein – ein astronomisches Phänomen, das Pilger bis heute anzieht. Mythen erzählen, der Zauberer Merlin habe die Steine aus Irland herbeigezaubert oder Riesen hätten sie aufgestellt. Wissenschaftlich gilt Stonehenge als Begräbnisstätte, Ritualort und Kalender zugleich – und als das bekannteste Wahrzeichen einer Grafschaft, die weit mehr zu bieten hat. -- In dieser Folge BRITPOD nehmen Euch Alexander-Klaus Stecher und Claus Beling mit nach Wiltshire, die Region mit der größten Dichte prähistorischer Monumente weltweit. Neben Stonehenge besuchen sie das Dorf Avebury mit seinem noch größeren Steinkreis, durch den man bis heute frei spazieren kann. Sie entdecken die weißen Pferde, die im 18. Jahrhundert in die Kreidehügel gescharrt wurden und bis heute die Identität der Region prägen. Und sie erzählen von der majestätischen Kathedrale von Salisbury, einem architektonischen Wunder, das Ken Follett zu „Die Säulen der Erde“ inspirierte und die Magna Carta beherbergt – jenes Dokument, das als Grundlage moderner Demokratie gilt. -- Wiltshire ist auch ein Ort der Zeitreisen: In Castle Combe und Lacock scheint die Zeit stehen geblieben zu sein. Mittelalterliche Gassen, einst durch die Wollindustrie wohlhabend, heute weltbekannte Drehorte für Filme wie Harry Potter und Downton Abbey. Dazu Bradford on Avon, oft „Mini-Bath“ genannt, mit seinen engen Brücken und Fachwerkhäusern. Wer das Land auf andere Weise erkunden will, fährt auf einem Narrowboat über den Kennet-&-Avon-Kanal, einst Handelsweg, heute ein stilles Band durch die Landschaft. Alexander-Klaus Stecher und Claus Beling nehmen Euch mit in eine Grafschaft, in der Geschichte, Natur und Magie bis heute untrennbar verbunden sind. BRITPOD – England at its best! -- WhatsApp: Du kannst Alexander und Claus direkt auf ihre Handys Nachrichten schicken! Welche Ecke Englands sollten die beiden mal besuchen?

Are trees a liability or an asset for whole farm carbon footprints? Speaking to the Farm Gate podcast at the Agroforestry Show, Wiltshire farmer, STUART ROGERS, and JEMMA MORGAN from the Farm Carbon Toolkit, discuss the carbon impact of integrating agroforestry into farm systems. Rogers extols the benefits of trees but recognises the carbon accounting challenges they can present, while Morgan considers how trees can add nature value to soil carbon credits.This is the fourth of six impromptu in-the-field podcasts recorded at the Agroforestry Show 2025.

In this thrilling episode, we sit down with Abbie Dent, a passionate paranormal researcher and experiencer of extraordinary phenomena. As the chair of Haunted Devon and host of Lifting the Veil Radio Show (soon to be available on all major platforms), Abbie brings a wealth of knowledge and firsthand encounters to the conversation. Growing up in a haunted house in the eerie and enchanting region of Devon, UK, Abbie's fascination with the supernatural began at a young age, sparked by sightings of UFOs and ghostly apparitions. She recounts a spine-chilling weekend in 2012 in Wiltshire, where she investigated mysterious crop circles and encountered an enigmatic hooded figure—locally known as one of “the Guardians.” These strange beings, rumored to protect the land, are reportedly known to the local military, who are instructed to ignore them. Abbie reveals that this was not an isolated incident, sharing another night of high strangeness at the same location in 2013.

What do we really know about Elizabeth Boleyn, Countess of Wiltshire and mother of Anne Boleyn? Until now, she's been little more than a shadow in history — remembered only as the wife of Thomas Boleyn and the mother of Anne, Mary, and George. But in a groundbreaking new biography, historian Sophie Bacchus-Waterman uncovers Elizabeth's real story: her career at court, her influence, and her role in one of Tudor England's most ambitious families. In this exclusive interview, I talk with Sophie about: - Why Elizabeth has been so overlooked in Tudor history - The surprising discoveries made during her research - How Elizabeth shaped the rise of the Boleyns - Whether she's been unfairly judged in fiction and history - And what this biography reveals about Anne Boleyn's world. Sophie's new book: Elizabeth Boleyn: The Life of the Queen's Mother is the very first biography of this fascinating woman, and it shines a long-overdue light on her life and legacy.

Diana Taylor: A practice where research and materiality meet. Presented by What's My Thesis? in partnership with DON'T LOOK Projects In this illuminating live conversation recorded at DON'T LOOK Projects, UK-based artist Diana Taylor joins host Javier Proenza (What's My Thesis?) for a deeply textured discussion around her first solo show in the United States, Flotsam and Jetsam. Organized by DON'T LOOK Projects in association with SLQS Gallery in London, the exhibition draws on Taylor's research-intensive practice, exploring time through the fusion of research and materiality. Her work employs a remix logic, echoing Sigmar Polke's 1980s period. Currently in a short-term fellowship at The Huntington, Taylor speaks about her practice-based research. Her PhD was in collaboration with the William Morris Gallery, where she focused on how historical craft, screen-printing, and reproducibility inform her contemporary approach to painting. With roots in both rural Wiltshire and Cyprus, Taylor's early exposure to English landscape painting, tapestry, and devotional patternwork creates a foundation for her ongoing material inquiries into time, collapse, and visual culture. The conversation explores: Taylor's use of screenprinting on raw and repurposed canvas as a method of layering digital and analog imagery The influence of William Morris, The Divine Comedy by Gustav Doré, Sigmar Polke and 1970s suburban interiors on her visual lexicon A meditation on contemporaneity—the feeling of living amidst overlapping temporalities in the age of the internet The metaphor of Flotsam and Jetsam as a conceptual frame for image overload, cultural debris, and the residue of civilization Her experimental use of digital tools—zooming, pixelation, low-res 3D scanning—not to perfect, but to fail productively. Collapsing binaries: nature and culture, craft and tech, chaos and control, digital noise and sacred relic Also discussed is Taylor's current work at The Huntington, where she's engaging with historical plant taxonomies, rare botanical prints, and Morris's medieval utopian socialism to produce a new body of work and a forthcoming article in The Journal of William Morris Studies. Flotsam and Jetsam is on view at DON'T LOOK Projects through August 30, 2025. Please email gallery@dontlookprojects.com to schedule a private viewing. Listen to this episode to uncover: Why Taylor considers pixelation and printed crochet as relics of maternal labor and digital memory How screenprinting becomes a form of archaeological gesture The relationship between digital overstimulation and visual stillness Why artists might choose ruin, repetition, or failure as aesthetic strategies in a culture obsessed with optimization Featured Institutions & Collaborators: The Huntington Library, William Morris Gallery, DON'T LOOK Projects, SLQS Gallery, What's My Thesis?

In this episode, we sit with Nic, an avid researcher with extensive experience in the realm of high strangeness. Nic's fascination with the paranormal began in childhood, marked by a profound experience at the age of three when she witnessed the curtains in her bedroom open inexplicably. This incident, which left her questioning what might have been observing her, was corroborated by her father, a military professional and meticulous observer of ufology, who also encountered unusual phenomena in the same room, including an unsettling growl emanating from the wardrobe. Nic continually scans the skies, pondering the question: Are we alone? Her experiences, including sightings of mysterious orange orbs seemingly observing her quiet street at night and a Tic-Tac shaped UFO spotted over a field during a school run, suggest she may have found answers. Nic actively shares her insights and encounters through her dedicated Facebook page, *Unknown Wiltshire & Beyond*, a platform devoted to exploring high strangeness and unexplained phenomena. Link: Unknown Wiltshire & Beyond. https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1ZWFon8c7y/?mibextid=wwXIfrWe are thrilled to announce the official launch of Let's Get Freaky merchandise!

Yes. You are absolutely reading that right. It is my absolute pleasure to host the former crop circle maker going by 'Citizen D' on my channel. I have spoken to him before on Across The Pond and I just had to have him on my own channel too to go more into the mystical side of things.We go into the history of #cropcircle making, the experiences he and his former colleagues had and whether or not they are being "used" by a #higherconsciousness to create these circles.Open your mind and let D tell you the truth and the mystique of crop circles.Where to find D:Substack  Where to find the Tribe of the Greyhorn Pagans:Main hubhome of the FireFaeSupport the Greyhorn Pagans:PATREONSpreaker SupportMusic used:- Intro: Runes of the Ancients by Queen of blades -- https://www.bandlab.com/roamingdarkness_- Outro: Viking/Medieval Theme by M-Murray -- https://freesound.org/s/723202/ -- License: Attribution NonCommercial 4.0

General Sir Patrick Sanders has a stark warning: Britain must prepare for war with Russia within five years and start building bunkers and better air defences.Speaking exclusively to our Defence Editor Danielle Sheridan, the former head of the British army points to the Nordic countries and says we need to start taking a leaf out of their book.He also discusses why an Iron Dome couldn't work in the UK, his thoughts on the recent Israel-Iran war, and why he didn't encourage his son to join the army.General Sanders stood down as head of the British army last summer. The former rifleman had been tipped to be the next Chief of the Defence Staff but fell out of favour with the Government for being too outspoken about the extent of troop cuts.Our defence editor Danielle interviewed him in his garden at his home in rural Wiltshire, with his blonde Labrador Fargo by his side.You can read her write-up and see some pretty extraordinary photos of General Sanders here: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07/11/britain-must-prepare-for-war-with-russia-next-five-years/https://linktr.ee/BattleLinesContact us with feedback or ideas:battlelines@telegraph.co.uk @venetiarainey@RolandOliphant Hosted on Acast.

In the 1970s and 80s, Caroline Eshghi was a young girl living in Bristol, Somerset, and Wiltshire. From the moment she was born until she ran away at the age of 15, Caroline was beaten, burned and starved by her mother. In May this year, Melanie Burmingham was jailed for 20 months for abusing her daughter more than 50 years ago. Caroline tells Krupa Padhy why she is now petitioning for a change to the law around historical cases that only allows a sentence available at the time of offending. The first malaria treatment suitable for babies has been approved for use. We speak to BBC Africa Health Correspondent Dorcas Wangira in Nairobi to find out how this may empower healthcare workers in the battle against the disease that takes the lives of hundreds of thousands of people each year.One of the key measures that Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood is reported to be considering as part of her Sentencing Bill is a national rollout of drugs that suppress sexual arousal to try and tackle sex offenders. There is currently a working pilot in the South West of England, and several of the clinicians, psychiatrists and forensic psychologists have raised concerns about making such a scheme mandatory. Krupa talks to Don Rubin, Emeritus Professor in Forensic Psychology at Newcastle University, and a consultant to the pilot programme. Fatima Timbo, known as Fats Timbo, is a content creator and comedian who has amassed an incredible 3 million followers on TikTok. Since appearing on TV show The Undateables in 2018, she's also been part of the team bringing us the Paralympics coverage from Paris last year. Born with achondroplasia, a form of dwarfism, she documents her experiences of being - as she describes it - ‘a little person', and now she's sharing her tips for succeeding in a world where it's difficult to be different in her book Main Character Energy: Ten Commandments for Living Life Fearlessly.

Interview starts at 31:00 Citizen D joins us for an honest and intriguing about making crop circles, the high strangeness / Fortean aspect of it and all aspects of it.   We ask some of the cliche questions about evidence from the 90's and forward, the memes, and the usually stuff, BLT, videos, etc but we also get deep into synchronicities and some other weird stuff that must be going on - or behind the phenomenon.   Deep state? What about UFO's? Wiltshire, ley lines? Ancient Neolithic sites? Full moon, mother earth, techniques that the human builders use, rituals and incantations and respect for the land.

What if everything we know about the universe's expansion is wrong? David Wiltshire offers a radical perspective on cosmic acceleration and dark energy, proposing that both might be illusions created by the varying passage of time in different regions of the universe. Wiltshire challenges the foundations of modern cosmology with his innovative Timescape model. We discuss the foundations of Einstein's theory of relativity, examining how time behaves differently in regions of high and low matter density. Wiltshire explains how this could alter our understanding of the universe's expansion, potentially eliminating the need for dark energy altogether. His work revisits Mark's Principle and its influence on cosmology, offering an alternative explanation for cosmic phenomena. This episode will captivate anyone interested in the future of cosmological theory, the mystery of dark energy, and the complex nature of time.

Synopsis Following his retirement to an estate on the edge of Salisbury Plain after 40 years' service in India, Sir Dominic Holden has invited his nephew Dr Hardacre to stay for a weekend. Hardacre assumes that this is simply a family courtesy, as he is only sixth in line of inheritance to his uncle's fortune. He finds an hospitable enough household but one wrapped in an intense gloom, whose source he cannot fathom. Until, that is, Sir Dominic shows great interest in Hardacre's ghost-hunting exploits with the Psychical Research Society… Next time on Doings of Doyle… We will be joined by a mystery interview guest… Acknowledgements Thanks to our sponsor, Belanger Books (www.belangerbooks.com), and our supporters on Patreon and Paypal.

We're on a break at the moment to plan, research, and write all sorts of things, but, to fill the gap, this is the first of two new compilation episodes containing a trio of stories from across our earlier series. We have entitled this episode “Three Monsters” because these are tales about seemingly inhuman creatures from English folklore with decidedly ill-intent. They are our second-lap Derbyshire story, Crooker, and our recent Wiltshire story, The Old Creature, and our recent Lincolnshire story, Nanny Rutt – and much love to Dr Rory Waterman, whose own take on Nanny Rutt appears in his recent poetry collection Come Here To This Gate which Martin and I both heartily recommend.We really hope you enjoy them, and will be back on Monday with our next Lang Fairy Tale! 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 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 Hosted on Acast.

Oliver Lavery is an English mythologist, folklorist, traveling professional storyteller, and host of The Story Crow YouTube channel from Wiltshire County, England, the home of Stonehenge. For this summer solstice special, our return guest describes our recent trip to Avebury, Britain's largest Neolithic complex with its stone circles, village-sized henge [ditch], passage graves and giant manmade mound. First we've got to know, who built these mysterious megaliths & ancient earthworks; and for what purpose? Oliver shares a psychedelic vision he had during the annual solstice festivities that correlates with recent metaphysical theories that the stone circles assist the spirits of the dead. With the many burial mounds scattered across the landscape, we hear of uncanny sights & senses while camping amongst them along the ancient Ridgeway Trail. We conclude the highlights of mysterious Avebury with the largest prehistoric artificial mound in Europe, Silbury Hill. From there we muse on crop circles; hallucinogenic goblins; the similarity between bards & shamans; and finally, a little local lore from Wiltshire.Check out Oliver's Story Crow YouTube Channel and follow his van-life Instagram @The_Folk_BusSupport Our Numinous Nature on Patreon.Follow Our Numinous Nature & my naturalist illustrations on InstagramCheck out my shop of shirts, prints, and books featuring my artContact: herbaceoushuman@gmail.com
