    S3 Ep62: Loremen S3 Ep62 - Pitcairn Island Mar 25, 2021
    Show notes

    Alasdair takes us to the most remote (inhabited) place on earth! Prepare yourself for mutineers, Neo-Pagans and a giant glass ball full of noisome gases. We meet Thursday October Christian and discover that paradise is not all it's cracked up to be.
    There's a lot to learn from this episode: when not to go to a party, how many Chuckle Brothers there were, and which is better, Tahiti or Norfolk?

    S3 Ep61: Loremen S3 Ep61 - The Birdcage, Thame Mar 18, 2021
    Show notes

    James has dug up a genuinely spooky inn-based tale this week. The Birdcage is a 600+ year old public house with a fearsome ghost, a horrible history and a serious pigeon problem. Be warned, this ghost frightens women, children, Australians and pornographers alike.
    The Loreboys also encounter Batman's shabbiest foe, and wilfully denigrate the filmography of a beloved comic actor. (Sorry, Robin Williams.)

    S3 Ep60: Loremen S3 Ep60 - Amy Gledhill - Brother Jucundus Mar 11, 2021
    Show notes

    Old York, Old York. So York they named it York. Amy Gledhill (Radio 2, The Delightful Sausage, A Lovely Time) joins the Loreboys to delve into the story of York's original party animal: Brother Jucundus. He was a monk-about-town who took a little more of the holy spirit than was good for him. "Up, up, up we go!"
    This episode features a cut-out-and-keep joke that listeners can say whenever they are in York. (Unless James Shakeshaft is also in York, in which case he will be saying it.)

    S3 Ep59: Loremen S3 Ep59 - The Edinburgh Castle Mystery Mar 04, 2021
    Show notes

    King Jimmy the 1st and/or 6th of England and/or Scotland had quite a rough ride, from “witnessing” a political assassination in utero to being attacked by the world’s rudest cat. This monarch’s silver spoon was something of a double-edged sword (like that special knife designed for cutting grapefruit and/or your tongue). In fact, some believe that little Jim Royal didn’t make it out of short trousers.
    Will the Loreboys solve the Edinburgh Castle Mystery? [Inhales sharply through teeth like a builder] “we could mate, but it’ll cost ya…”
    PS: These are Hula Hoops
    Content Warning: The themes of this episode include infant mortality.

    S3 Ep58: Loremen S3 Ep58 - Black Annis, Leicester Feb 25, 2021
    Show notes

    Leicester is home to many things: the grave of King Lear, the Leicester Comedy Festival and the blue-hued, metal-clawed, child-eating ogress Black Annis. All of these are covered in this special live episode from the festival, featuring an actual audience of socially-distanced lorefolk.
    PLUS: Bonus Material! (i.e. things James forgot to say during the livestream.)

    S3 Ep57: Loremen S3 Ep57 - Jenny Collier - The Lady of the Lake Feb 11, 2021
    Show notes

    Award-winning comedian Jenny Collier makes her annual Valentine's pilgrimage to tell the Loreboys about another Welsh romance. As usual, the story in question proves... disturbing. This week it's The Lady in the Lake - but not the one you're thinking of. Prepare for Welsh words that sound rude in English, and English words that are distinctly rude about the Welsh.
    Content Warning: This is a very light-hearted episode, but characters in the tale take an attitude towards domestic violence and infant mortality that listeners are unlikely to share. Also, one of the Welsh words sounds REALLY rude.

    S3 Ep56: Loremen S3 Ep56 - Hang Me Low: The Mary Blandy Story Feb 04, 2021
    Show notes

    A time-hopping ghost story from Oxfordshire, this episode boasts not only a "magic" potion, but trials, castles, clumsy legs and Henley-on-Thames.
    Essentially, James has just watched Christopher Nolan's Tenet and decided to tell a simple story as extravagantly and confusingly as possible. It's actually a really good yarn. But you'll need to watch a number of YouTube explainer videos to appreciate it. You know, like all the best films.

    S3 Ep55: Loremen S3 Ep55 - Chris Cantrill - The Tale of Meg Merrilies Jan 28, 2021
    Show notes

    Chris Cantrill of The Delightful Sausage (BBC Radio 2) returns! And, having moved to Cumbria, he has a brand new story up his grubby little sleeve.
    Meg Merrilies was a highwaywoman from "the pasten days" who was ruthless in her pursuit of riches, a hobby which some say has continued beyond the grave... However, Chris devotes most of the show to describing a nearby tea room's delicious tray bakes. If you've never heard the words "tray bake" before, you will be sick of them by the end of this episode.
    To his credit, Chris's story includes First Hand Witness Testimony™, and you won't believe how badly a man from Bradford can mangle the word "lure".

    S3 Ep54: Loremen S3 Ep54 - The Madness of Crowds Jan 21, 2021
    Show notes

    Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds (1841) is a remarkable compendium of mass hysterias, written by the Scottish curmudgeon Charles Mackay.
    Alasdair (half-Scottish curmudgeon) takes James on a tour of the stand-out fads, fancies and follies: from Dutch tulip-fanciers, via slow-poisoners, to some cracking haunted house scams. Brace yourself for chilling tales of faux-ghosts. (Fhosts.)
