Before liberty had a flag, it had a forest. In this spotlight, we trace how the legend of Robin Hood transformed from a hunted outlaw into a symbol of justice, generosity, and the people's voice. As Season 2’s mid-season arc, his tale bridges the old codes of honor with the rising cry for freedom—a mythic echo that still rings in America’s own founding spirit.

What does it mean to be cast adrift, and still sing of home? In this thematic spotlight, we delve into the deep ache of exile in Old English poetry, where the soul’s longing becomes a compass through ruin and winter. Featuring previews of The Seafarer and The Wanderer, this interlude explores how early Christian poets transformed sorrow into hope, and how the language of loss shaped the spiritual memory of the West.

What makes a hero endure beyond his age? In this spotlight on Beowulf, we explore how the memory of one warrior became a mirror for a people’s hopes, fears, and moral boundaries. With a monster at the door and legacy on the line, Beowulf’s tale opens our new season with fire and gravity. This episode sets the stage for our two-part premiere—and reminds us why some stories are never just stories.
