Loremen Podcast

James delivers a triptych of tales, originating in the land of dreams. Chief among them is the Pedlar of Swaffham - the story of a country bumpkin who goes to That London and stands on a bridge. For ages. Are the locals friendly? What do you reckon, geeza? This episode is brought to by those titans of the fruit industry, Big Pear. (This will make more sense after you've listened.)

It's a festive crossover! Alasdair and James have been spirited away by the Midnight Library’s Miranda Merrick. Where better to spend the festive interregnum twixt Christmas and New Year than nipping down the pub for a cheeky ale and a packet of beef clippings? Who cares if the pub in question is Miranda’s creepy local, The Broom and Fang? This time, the boys have to sing for their supper, with dynamite tales of smuggling, treachery and… revenge. Marsden Grotto in South Shields, a drinking establishment located in a hollowed-out cliff, is a cave-based boozer. A speleological hostelry. The ultimate hole-in-the-wall. And, yes, it’s haunted.

An otherworldly clown from the Isle of Wight encounters two wide-eyed human children. And, in other news, Marek Larwood meets James and Alasdair. Marek, comedian (We Are Klang) and card game inventor (Pooman), dons the mantle of Deputy Loreperson and relates one of the strangest tales the Loreboys have ever heard. What exactly is Sam the Sandown Clown? A ghost? An extra terrestrial? A child's obvious lie? You decide. Prepare yourself for tuneless birthday songs and the triumphant return of the category "It's IT from Steven King's IT". Marek's YouTube - https://youtube.com/c/MarekLarwood1 Loreboys nether say die!

Big clumps ahoy! The Loremen encounter two large hills, each with beech trees atop. They're easily the top beech-tree-topped hills covered by this podcast since Chanctonbury Ring. The clumps are steeped in history, drenched in sauce and, sadly for James, riddled with poetry. And, yes. Don't worry, we talk about that Beatles documentary that everyone is talking about at the moment. Loreboys nether say die!

In one corner of Dartmoor, things just ain’t right. Could it be James shouting into a different cupboard? Perhaps lockdown madness is returning? Or… is the the craziness of Crazywell Pool catching? Prepare yourself for lads on tor, a misleading witch and a bottomless pool that does not live up to its name. Learn why James will NEVER EVER buy a copy of the newspaper from the day his child was born. And take care… if this pond calls your name, you’re for it! Loreboys nether say die!

Alasdair and James return to the furthermost reaches of (what we jokingly call) the United Kingdom. It’s Shetland! This time we’ve found ourselves a local guide in the form of comedian, storyteller and improvisor – Marjolein Robertson. Learn why you should never mention a ‘beniman’ aboard a boat and why there’s no such thing as a free shirt. Somehow, the loreboys manage to run afoul of an ancient sea god, oil riggers and – their mortal enemy – the Federation Against Copyright Theft (FACT). Loreboys nether say die!
