7. Into the Woods

The Witch is such a key figure in our folklore and fairy tales. So India Rakusen takes a journey into the woods to hear whispers of the story of the witch.

The witch has held a place firmly in our imagination for centuries – from whispered warnings in legends, to pop-culture driven heights. But what does it mean to be a witch now?

Presenter India Rakusen, creator of the podcast 28ish Days Later, is on a journey to find out.

As we reach the half way point of our series, we pause to consider why and how The Witch is such a key figure in our folklore and fairy tales. Come with us, as we take a journey deep into the woods to hear stories of the witch.
