310. Meet the monsters lurking in the corners of our landscape and imagination - with Nicholas Jubber

The Plodcast

Monsters haunt the myths and legends of almost every culture in the world. Take a walk along the Dorset coast with Nicholas Jubber looking for the footprints of ancient monsters, to explore why humans have felt the need to invent frightening beasts and beings to scare us from the shadows. Kevin Parr is your Plodcast host this week.

Nicholas's book, Monsterland: A Journey Around the World's Dark Imagination, is published by Scribe UK
