The Greenwood Outlaw: "Robin Hood" part 1
from New American Mythos · host Michael Belch
In this first of a two-part retelling, New American Mythos returns to the rougher roots of the Robin Hood legend—before the polish of princes and stage-plays. Set in the shadowy greenwood of early ballads, this episode follows a sharp, morally bracing outlaw who defies corrupt sheriffs, tricks the law with wit, and seeks not rebellion but a justice beyond the reach of kings. With tones of hunger, prayer, and pride, it asks what kind of man emerges when law and righteousness part ways, and whether the forest makes saints or simply sharpens sinners.Stay in touch and support the show!Mailing ListPatreon__________*We tell America’s old stories with the warmth of firelight and the weight of unanswered questions.***YouTube:** [@IronScrewPublishing]
