The Panther, The Partridge and The Whale with Amy Jeffs
This episode is a veritable bestiary! Meet an egg-thieving bird, an aquatic prankster and a big cat that’s just a bit much. Amy Jeffs returns to the podcast, with a raft of early medieval legends and (frankly) way more research than the guests normally bring.
These are the legends of the panther, the partridge and Iasconius … the whale who pretended to be an island.
