About this listen

Merlin: He was never the friendly bearded wizard. He was a demon-blooded wild man who spoke like an old king as a child, fled into Caledonian forests after slaughter, and returned to topple castles with dragon prophecy. How did one mad seer engineer Arthur’s birth, move Stonehenge, and teach magic to Morgan, yet still get outplayed by his own student? In this episode, we chase the earliest, darkest Merlin: shapeshifter, trickster, king-maker, and casualty of love. Listen to the riddles, and decide whether Merlin saved Britain or cursed it. Plus, the nun, the sea-spirit rumor, and the prison of stone.
