Manage episode 382582439 series 3527006
Happy Halloween!
On the scariest night of the year, I am bringing you Bisclavret, the medieval French werewolf.
No obscenity today. Just medieval monsters.
The translation I am using is this one: https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/35337/the-lais-of-marie-de-france-by-marie-de-france-trans-with-an-intro-by-glyn-sburgess-and-keith-busby/9780140447590
The title song is 'Celebration' by Alexander Nakarada and the episode contains sounds by InterPartyConflict, NaturesTemper and Kronek9.
