East Anglia has a fascinating folkloric heritage. To dive into some of this I'm sitting down with Rob Jones of Black Dog Zine to talk cities that fell in the sea, black dogs, white dogs and green children. Plus, our relationship with the landscape around us, experimental music scenes, “deep touristing” and the lingering touch of MR James. Not to be missed!
