S3 Ep100: Loremen S3 Ep100 - Danny Robins - The Cauld Lad of Hylton Mar 10, 2022

Show notes

The Loremen are joined by supernatural pod king* Danny Robins! Danny is the voice behind Haunted, The Battersea Poltergeist and Uncanny, as well as being an award-winning playwright. And he brings James and Alasdair a little-known North-Eastern legend: The Cauld Lad of Hylton. Was the Cauld Lad a ghost? A sprite? A murder victim? Or just an annoying guy who didn’t know how ducks work?
Darting between Newcastle and Sunderland, we also encounter a somewhat smutty version of the Fish and the Ring, and a carefully censored account of Pollard’s Boar.
*He’s king of supernatural podcasts NOT king of the pod people.

S3 Ep99: Loremen S3 Ep99 - Talking Heads Mar 03, 2022

Show notes

Since the dawn of time, humanity has dreamed of one thing: making a little robot head that talks in a funny voice. Alasdair and James chart the history of that dream, from Friar Bacon's diabolical brazen head to Professor Faber's ill-fated "Euphonia". With more body-horror than you would normally expect in an audio-based medium, it's the story of some of the strangest head-cases England has ever seen.

S3 Ep98: Loremen S3 Ep98 - The Curse of the Silk Shoes Feb 17, 2022

Show notes

The boys hit the road (and rail replacement bus service) and made their way to the East Midlands, for the Leicester Comedy Festival. Whereupon, James regaled Alasdair and a live audience with a local tale. It's the story of a devilishly handsome gentleman and a pair of silk shoes that are very much house shoes. As in, if you take them out of the house... you die.

Why, it's Valentine's times again! (Valentimes.) The Loremen welcome Welsh Romance correspondent Jenny Collier back to the show, with tales of kings, prophetic dreams and gold. Gold. GOLD!
Too much gold? Maaaybe, yeah. This episode will also furnish you with a brand new euphemism for the downstairs area, and tell you where to buy the best horse bum leather.

S3 Ep96: Loremen S3 Ep95 - Yorkshire Dragons Jan 27, 2022

Show notes

The Loremen go dragon-spotting in Yorkshire! From the Worm of Sexhow to the Dragon of Filey Brigg, Alasdair uncovers a simple traybake recipe that *you* can use to defeat a fiery serpent. Meanwhile, James dredges up a terrible childhood memory and irrevocably damages the dynamic of the podcast. So, a normal episode really.
Listen out for fishy folklorist Ruth L. Tongue. and frenemy of the show Chris L. Cantrill.

S3 Ep95: Loremen S3 Ep95 - The Pedlar of Swaffham Jan 20, 2022

Show notes

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.)

Show notes

A grisly tale of revenge from the Scottish Highlands. In the shadow of Glengarry Castle, one bald man with nothing to lose seeks justice for the infamous Keppoch Murders. That’s right, the Lorebois are back! And everything you love is still here:
-Wilful misunderstandings
-Disturbing mascots from the 90s
-Excellent Scottish accents
-Also James also does his Scottish accent
Plus, arbitrary scoring and beheadings. Bring on 2022*!
