Into the Greenwood

Robin Hood is one of the most ubiquitous figures in the English-speaking world. He’s been the star of countless films, television shows, books, games, and branded merchandise from baking supplies to investment apps. Whether he’s wearing a dark shrouding hood or a jaunty pointed cap, there’s a distinct image that comes to mind when you hear the name. Our mission is to dissect that image. Through interviews with academics and experts we’ll be taking a focused look on what one would actually expect of

In the center of Nottingham juts a massive promontory rust-colored stone. In the middle ages this was the site of Nottingham Castle and is thusly known to this day as "The Castle Rock". But it wasn't just the castle that was constructed upon a bedrock of sandstone. This soft stone can be found throughout the area and it's relatively soft composition provides for easy tunneling. For this reason Nottingham has received the moniker Tigguo Cobauc, "The Place of Caves". To discuss the hundreds of ...

It's a Papke Family roundtable with Richard Hopkins-Lutz (Rick), Maryanne Papke (Momo), Name Redacted Papke (Theo), Roger Papke (Marcus), and Jeff Massie (Uncle Max) as we discuss George Segal's questionable turn as the hero(?) of Sherwood Forest. Is this a long lost masterpiece of cinema? No. Not really. Did we enjoy it anyway? We sure did. Does it weirdly feel like the first draft to 'Robin Hood: Men in Tights'? Listen and find out!

Episode 52: The Lion Before The Pride with Hilary Rhodes

2025/02/07

To this day the false notion exists that men can’t be considered manly and heroic and tough if they’re homosexual. This has led to great deal of spilled ink and consternation when evidence has indicated that one of England’s great warrior kings, Richard the Lionheart, may well have enjoyed the company of other men. Was King Richard the first what we might now identify as queer? And perhaps more importantly, why is this something that people of the past or of today might care about. In this ep...

The 1970s was an interesting period for Robin Hood films. It saw the bouncy and raucous animated Disney film which remains a beloved classic for newer generations. There were the austere British productions like 'Wolfshead' and 'The Legend of Robin Hood' that sought to showcase the potential hardscrabble realities of what it would be like to live as an outlaw in the middle ages. Film buffs and historians also warmly recall 'Robin and Marian' with its big name stars and post Vietnam War sensib...
