Loremen Podcast

The Loremen return to the Leicester Comedy Festival, and James has brought a triptych of spine-tingling tales from the neighbouring county of Rutland. (Do look for it, it is there.) James's tales boast a credulous chemist, a spectral mist and an old man who liked sitting TOO much. Many thanks to the Lorefolk who turned out and giggled appreciatively. The whole affair was (incompetently) livestreamed by the Lorebois themselves: the PJ and Duncan of folklore. So you can see Alasdair and almost none of James's face here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90Tql8ADsPw Loreboys nether say die!

Despite being an obvious promo for our upcoming live show, this minisode delivers a whole load of Leicester lore in a tiny package. Find out what happens when a whole hill vanishes. Plus, James tries to make "don't look for it, it's not there anymore" a thing. Is that really the hill he is going to die on?

It's (just gone) Valentine's day, and the Loremen were planning to stop off at a petrol station to buy you a box of chocolates. But instead, we bring you Jenny Collier! And a fresh story from the Mabignogion. This year's Welsh valentale is especially romantic. If you think an entire person made out of flowers is romantic. The lorebois (and lore-gal) brave a challenging combination of dodgy microphones and Welsh names, and come out smelling like a person made out of roses. Also, if you were dating a person made entirely out of flowers, would giving them flowers come across as a threat? Finally, don't forget to buy tickets for the Leicester Comedy Festival LIVE show on Saturday 25th February 2023 (2023): https://comedy-festival.co.uk/event/loremen-live/ Loreboys nether say die!

A manuscript found in a secret drawer sends the Loremen down an especially curious rabbit hole; James relates a close encounter between a Victorian carpenter and multifaceted entities from outer space. (One of which turns out to be a total bore.)   It's the kind of outlandish tale that a cynic might call "obviously fake," but once a legend gets started, it's harder to stop than an armoured fox.

Beloved semi-sausage Amy Gledhill returns to the pod to meet the Wold Rangers of Yorkshire's East Riding. The wold's green lanes were once famous for Snaffling Jock, Mushroom Charlie, Slapface Ned and more strange, unique characters: nomadic gentlefolk around whom legends grew. We run into a locked-barn mystery and encounter the haunted skull of Poor Sister Anne. Don't throw it in manure! She hates that. If you live near Driffield, visit the Wold Rangers Way!

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!
