From the sunny streets of an idealised England to doomed romances both modern and ancient… From a trip to the bathroom to a journey to the Far East… From murderous gangs of lovers to deep-voiced deadly goblins…From a wooden man to a wee man…From the battle of Agincourt to a fight defused by tea and biscuits…It's all in this month's edition of FolkCast!
