Robin Hood is one of the most ubiquitous figures in the English-speaking world. He’s been the star of countless films, television shows, books, games, and branded merchandise from baking supplies to investment apps. Whether he’s wearing a dark shrouding hood or a jaunty pointed cap, there’s a distinct image that comes to mind when you hear the name. Our mission is to dissect that image. Through interviews with academics and experts we’ll be taking a focused look on what one would actually expect of a forest-dwelling outlaw in late 12th century England. How many Merry Men could comfortably dwell within Sherwood Forest? How extensive was the authority of a local Sheriff? Would those tights of Lincoln green be comfortable to wear? You know, the important stuff. Interview episodes will be interspersed with episodes delving into our pop-culture portrayals as we take a chronological look at Robin Hood’s extensive filmography one movie at a time. So string your bows, prepare a lusty laugh, and come join us in the greenwood. Support: patreon.com/intogreenwood Follow: @intogreenwood on Twitter and Facebook Contact: intogreenwood@gmail.com

Episode 35: A Storied Collection of Rebels with Icy Sedgwick
As an author, blogger, and podcaster, Icy Sedgwick has been making a name for herself with all things folklore-related across the internet. Her recent book, Rebel Folklore, from DK Press with vivid illustrations by Melissa Jarram, is a journey around the globe to look at folk heroes, terrifying monsters, agents of death, and all manner of beings that wouldn't quite fit in at your average society tea party. Icy not only introduces this host of colorful characters, but brings up applicable lessons we can learn for our modern lives when we consider them.

Episode 33: Building a Hero with Tomasz Stajszczak
February of 2024 saw the release of a brand new Robin Hood-centric computer game developed with the Unreal Engine and released on Steam. It is an open world role playing game, which means that your character gains new skills and abilities as you navigate them through an explorable digital world. Additionally, the game utilizes base building and crafting elements that encourage you to create your own secret lair for Robin and his followers. Tomasz Stajszczak, the co-lead for the game's development, CEO of the company, and a translation studies scholar specializing in video game localization, sat down with me for an interview about the new game released by the company Mean Astronauts, 'Robin Hood - Sherwood Builders'.
