I was chuffed hear our podcast being referenced during another podcast during a recent episode of @intogreenwood.bsky.social Talking about fantasy folklore versions of Robin Hood. It’s a great Robin Hood podcast intothegreenwood.buzzsprout.com Thank you!

Fans are rightly pointing out that the new Robin Hood TV series is rife with anachronisms. However, some of the most popular Robin Hood adaptations of all time have PLENTY of anachronisms of their own! They can be distracting, but they're not what makes or breaks a RH adaptation for me.

You can use this link, or find the discussion in the Into the Greenwood podcast feed, to hear some Robin Hood nerds on three different continents give their initial thoughts on the first two episodes of the new Robin Hood series from MGM+. (Contains Spoilers) www.buzzsprout.com/1727735/epis...

Last night was the premier of the MGM+ Robin Hood series w/ Jack Patten as Robin, Lauren McQueen as Marian, & Sean Bean as the Sheriff. Unsurprisingly, I have a LOT of thoughts & will release an episode of the podcast later this week to share them. Have you watched it? What's your take?

Tomorrow is new Robin Hood Day!!! 😁🏹💚 www.youtube.com/watch?v=FM4H...

This why I'm wary about basically every single bio pic and dramatization of real stories. It's almost inevitable that someone will be mischaracterized, if not outright villainized, in a production that people will accept as being accurate. I'm glad that he spoke up and that he won!

As a former ren faire performer myself, I especially enjoyed this little delve from @footnotinghistory.bsky.social into the history and quirky particulars of the phenomenon that is the American Renaissance Faire. www.podbean.com/ep/pb-bgrk6-...

At a museum I worked in, there were training documents about the differences between archaeology and paleontology and how confusing them would make me cry.

This is why people need to stop using ChatGPT for answers. There is no "Gnat the Weaver" in Pyle's book. But there is Midge the Miller & Wat the Tinker. It's the sort of thing that seems to fit & that's what AI does. It guesses at what fits the pattern. Stop asking the guess machine for answers.

Did we get everything right in the 80s and 90s? Absolutely not. But deciding that Maid Marian needed to be a redhead wreathed in flowers like the Queen of the May wasn't our worst call.

A tease for the subject of the interview that was conducted today for an upcoming episode of Into the Greenwood... Art by Howard Pyle.

What do pirates, foraging, Christmas, peasant revolts, public art, ttrpgs, Tolkien, and supernatural horror all have in common? Robin Hood, apparently! 🏹 Lots of great interviews coming up on the Into the Greenwood podcast!

We have ranked over two dozen Robin Hoods on our ever-growing list of film an TV versions of the legend. So far the list covers 7 decades and includes... - One actor who has two entries - Two actors from the same show - Two animated versions - Two parody versions - A major movie star and his son

using terror laws against non violent protesters is fascism

Episode 64 is out! I cut more material from this episode than any other, and it STILL ended up being the longest episode ever of Into the Greenwood!!! 😳 Evidently @schweizercomics.bsky.social, @erroneousbosch.bsky.social, and I had a LOT to say about this movie.

The next Splitting Arrows episode w/ @schweizercomics.bsky.social includes several references to The Legend of Robin Hood mini series (celebrating its 50th anniversary!) & was covered on ep 40 of Into the Greenwood! The show (& the podcast 😉) are worth checking out! www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I can't claim credit for making the meme, but I couldn't NOT share it...

A little preview for the next Splitting Arrows episode of Into the Greenwood... "I like the Robin Hood movie from 1991. No, not the one with Costner. The *other* Robin Hood movie from 1991. You've probably never heard of it."

Very exciting to evidence of lead extraction/trading & use in the Bronze Age - a great find from Norfolk www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

TIL that Robin Hood had hobbits in his band of Merry Men! This painting depicts Robin and his ally Hob o’ the Hill. Hob was part of a race of diminutive people who lived in comfortable burrows in the countryside. Sound familiar? Info from @intogreenwood.bsky.social. #Hobbit #Tolkien #folklore

Tonight we'll be reviewing one of the films that I consider to be in "The Big Three" in terms of defining our modern relationship with Robin Hood.

We're continuing our celebration of the 70th anniversary of The Adventures of Robin Hood TV show AND International Archaeology Day by bringing on an archaeologist to discuss when Robin Hood excavated a Roman villa! Find it here or wherever you get your podcasts!🎙️ www.buzzsprout.com/1727735/epis...

Happy International Archaeology Day! ⛏️🦴🏺 We've got a deep respect & appreciation for archaeology in the Greenwood! Our very first guest was buildings archaeologist @jpwarchaeology.bsky.social & zooarchaeologist @naomisykes.bsky.social joined us for episode 21! www.buzzsprout.com/1727735/epis...

Happy No Kings Day to all those out there making their voices heard!!! 📯 www.nokings.org

In college I studied folklore (world folktales especially), but I started a family while in my early 20s and never pursued it as a career. When I reentered the workforce, I stumbled into science communication w/ museums. My main project at work right now is writing a fairytale-themed science show!😁

For every hour of recorded content for the podcast, several additional hours get spent editing the content for clarity, quality control, and relevance. The vast majority of that editing time happens during my workday commutes on the train.

Last year, @benitocereno.bsky.social joined me in the Greenwood for episode 50 of the podcast, where we discussed the abundant number of ways in which St Nicholas resonates w/ Robin Hood. You can check out his anthology of Santa comics coming out this holiday season! imagecomics.com/comics/relea...

@jpwarchaeology.bsky.social is a great speaker and his talks are always well worth attending!

In addition to producing this podcast, holding down a full-time job, pursuing a variety of hobbies, and staying connected with my kids, I also volunteer with MuseumExpert.org. I appreciate how much we're not shying away from these serious topics. gretchenjennings.substack.com/p/how-museum...

Good for them. And by them, I mean the reporters who walked out. Not the party of censorship and propaganda that is waging a war against the 1st Amendment. apnews.com/article/pent...

A similar thing happened to me about 25 years ago, when I was a preteen. It was a nightmare. Now, thanks to AI, so many young girls all over the world will have to live that same nightmare.

Mail call!!! 😁📫 I've been wanting to dig into both of these books for a LONG time! 📚💚

I'm not using any dating apps, but I have used them in the past. I met my partner on OKCupid. It could be a difficult and dispiriting experience, one that could even undermined my sense of self-worth. But it never undermined my sense of self. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

edition.cnn.com/2025/10/08/p... It's tempting to clown on these monsters, both for their tacit acknowledgement of being fascists by positioning themselves in opposition to Antifa, and for acting like Antifa is an actual organization (it's not), but this underpins a real danger.

Last night I watched The Flame and the Arrow w/ Burt Lancaster. It's about an outlaw and archer who leads a band in the forest where they steal the taxes collected by the oppressive nobles. Oh and there's a romance with a noble lady. It's more of a Robin Hood movie than several Robin Hood movies.

'When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognize courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist,' the Norwegian Nobel Committee said as it announced Maria Corina Machado as the winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize

In my accounting of the plethora of new Robin Hood media we're getting/have gotten in 2025, I missed that the third book in this Dark Fantasy take on Robin Hood by TK Hall has come out: tkhallauthor.com/wildwood-ris...
