Loremen Podcast

It's time for a Select Your Own Escapade! (Our non-trademark-infringing alternative to a Choose Your Own Adventure.) James lets Alasdair decide the route through the county of Bedfordshire and the boys encounter four local oddities: from a lost member of the Blue Man Group (AKA the Cerulean Chaps Team) to Henry VIII's most boring mate.

Crash! And the church steeple crumbles to dust. Parishioners - dead! The sermon - a write off. This episode raises many questions. Is James Shakeshaft folklore's answer to Quenetin Taratantino? Was The Great Thunderstorm of Widecombe-in-the-Moor the work of ball lightning, or the Devil himself? Can the loreboys go a full episode without a Bowie impression? (Sadly, only one of those questions is answered. And the answer is: no, of course not.) For lots more nonsense check out patreon.com/loremenpod Loreboys nether say die!

Not one but TWO guests this week! The boys are joined by comedian Laura Lexx and her normal brother Ron (aka the Lexx Education podcast). Brother Ron brings in a local legend that's really quite unique. Really. In fact, the "Meat Dragon" of Norton Fitzwarren may not exist at all outside of Ron's fevered imagination.

What connects Queen Elizabeth I with a pond in Oxfordshire that just won't freeze? The answer is the ghost of Dudley's Castle. And we're not talking about Dudley Castle in the West Midlands. We're talking about Cumnor Hall, home to Robert Dudley and his ill-fated wife Amy Robsart. Prepare thyself for a Tudor tale of betrayal and death by misadventure. And look out for a triptych of Loremen staples - a poem, an accent and a blowing of something wide open! Loreboys nether say die!

The Cotswold village of Ilmington is home to a surprising number of spectres. True, several of them might be the same horse seen from different angles, but when have little things like "proof" or "reason" stood in the way of an episode of Loremen? This outing also includes a couple of lessons in old-timey film-making and the fundamentals of time travel. (Just basic stuff like whether driving into a cart full of manure is good or bad.)

As a special treat for our 150th episode, we only went and did a LIVE STREAM! It was quite the ride. Alasdair was ever-so tired, poor lamb. (Watch the whole thing here https://youtu.be/WEeaSbYjhUw) Despite the fatigue, Alasdair managed to frighten James with a celebrity* endorsed ghost story from the featureless fens of Lincolnshire. *Sure, it's Richard Madeley, but it still counts.
