Martin is a co-host and the producer of The Three Ravens Podcast, which launched in March 2023.

Then, most importantly, Martin and co-host Eleanor Conlon take turns to tell new versions of ancient stories from that county.
On Thursdays the pair release Bonus Episodes on diverse themes including the history of magic, mythical creatures, heritage crafts, and true crimes with folkloric twists.
