Wales' Darkest Folklore
Anthony and Maddy delve into the dark traditions and legends in Wales' history.
Wales is set apart from a lot of countries, with one of its folk tales - the red dragon - featuring in its flag.
What are the mythical origins of Wales, and other dark folk tales and traditions, such as the hounds of the underworld and the Mari Lwyd? Which is seeing a resurgence today. And how did Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks play a part in Welsh folklore?
Taking Anthony and Maddy through some of the darker corners of Welsh folklore, and how they intertwine with Welsh history, is Russ Williams, author of Where the Folk: A Welsh Folklore Road Trip.
