Loremen Podcast

Alasdair takes us to the flat, flat Fenlands and tells tales of some proper old-school oddballs. The sort of people who like to question the mainstream narrative. The sort of people who, if they were around nowadays, would probably wear a mask but not over their nose. You know the sort. BONUS: This episode also includes a cut-out-and-keep haircut fact that will endear you to your workmates, family and friend. Loreboys nether say die!

James takes Alasdair on a guided tour of the Cotswolds’ less famous standing stones. This episode is hot, hot, hot, in many senses of the word. Is it the sultry ambience of a summer evening in James’s shed? Is it the phallic power of these B-list monoliths? Or is it... Swede dreams? Hopefully, we will never find out. Loreboys nether say die!

This is the Midnight Library 2: Electric Boogaloo AKA The Midnight Library Returns: Electric Boogalurns. Miranda Merrick and Mr Darling make their way to merry olde England and cause a right old fuss. Miranda shares the tale of Harry Main, a distinctly land-based pirate with a side-line animal disguises. Oh, and if you ever dig a hole in Ipswich, Massachusetts – watch out for cats, mate.

The Loreboys go rambling up Scotland's third most famous seat* and make a very spooky discovery: a Victorian mystery that remains unsolved. (Spoiler: we didn't solve it). Guest stars in this episode include: Scottish Columbo, a poisoned pig and Mrs. Doubtfire. Warning: James does the full gamut of 'Scottish' accents, ranging from 'Elderly Nanny' to 'He Will Get Chinned If He Goes There Now.' *after the Stone of Scone and Mel Gibson's bum in Braveheart.

Ben Van der Velde (Worst Foot Forward Podcast) treats the Loremen to a tour of Jewish mysticism, the dreaded dybbuk and (of course) the world's original robot bouncer - the golem. Plus, we nearly make it through the whole episode without a circumcision joke. Watch out for guest appearances from 'Bugz in the Nut', a whole new superhero franchise, and (of course) Mr. Blobby. Oh, you thought we'd run out of things to say about Saturday night TV in the 90s? You thought wrong. Gotcha! Content Warning: we touch on historic antisemitism and related conspiracy theories.

If you've executed a criminal and are wondering what to do with their hands, why not get crafting and make yourself a Hand of Glory? This burglar's multi-tool is purported to do all sorts, though the evidence points (like a dead highwayman's cadaverous finger) towards them not really working at all. This episode was originally a livestream, and features a reading from notorious former-guest Chris Cantrill. The good news is, he's not reading poetry. The bad news is, James is.

Ah, the Isle of Thanet! A place of great antiquity. Some say its name comes from "Ynys Thanatos" - the Isle of the Dead - a folkloric curio which James totally neglects to mention, and instead spends most of the episode talking about rollercoasters. But the ups-and-downs of Thanet don't end there. We also have an over-hyped hero, a touchy ghost and someone called Erminburga. Plus at least one "fun fact" and minimum two murdered princes. (The standard Loremen ratio.)  Loreboys nether say die!
