Season 8: Episode 130

The Folklore Podcast presents a recording of a panel discussion hosted at Maidstone Museum on the subject of the Kentish tradition of Hoodening and the Hooden hobby horse. This panel was presented as part of a museum exhibition entitled "Animal Guising and the Kentish Hooden Horse" which runs until June 2023. The recording was provided for broadcast by Maidstone Museum.

The discussion panel is chaired by Professor Ronald Hutton and features Dr Geoff Doel (lecturer in medieval and traditional culture), George Frampton (author of 'Discordant Comicals') and Ben Jones (St Nicholas-at-Wade Hoodeners).

ABOUT OUR MUSICAL GUEST

Mary says:

"My name is Mary Olwyn Foxley and I'm a classically trained singer who finds the greatest joy and authenticity in unaccompanied traditional folk, particularly folk that highlights the female experience. Using only the voice allows a freedom and depth of storytelling and a focus on story that I find compelling. I am a mother of two and a domestic abuse survivor. You can find my debut EP "Voices" by Mary Foxley on Spotify and you can find me on Twitter @maryfoxley and DM me there for any enquiries."
