S4 Ep16: Loremen S4 Ep16 - The River Ribble
This week the Loreboys are armed with reviews! Not for themselves, but for Lancashire / Yorkshire's glorious River Ribble. Some folks say it was David Bowie's favourite river. (It's us, we say that.) But do make sure you appease the ghost of Peg O' Nell - or a one star review will be the least of your worries...

S4 Ep15: Loremen S4 Ep15 - Robin Allender - Bristol's Sky Ships
Robin Allender of the Moon Under Water podcast and Your Own Personal Beatles is a fine Bristol lad with a tale or two to tell. How many ships sail in the ocean above the stars? None, you might think - but sheriff Shakeshaft and deputy Allender have identified more than one historic UFO in the West Country region. (And one in Kent, but you can’t have everything.) ABK is there too, sitting in judgement like an ageless god, older than time itself.
Prepare yourself for a lot of impressions that end up being Ringo.

S4 Ep14: Loremen S4 Ep 14 - The Simonside Duergar
Beware traveller! For Northumberland's Simonside Hills are the setting for this week's tale. Those rugged crags are thick with evil, evil creatures who want nothing more than to lure you to your doom. Fear not! Alasdair Beckett-King is here to warn of of their tricksy ways, while James Shakeshaft looks on, scornfully.
Hear how a Shakeshaft-type spent a miserable night in a horrible little cottage, while an ABK-esque sceptic came a cropper in a bog. It's all the work of the nastiest faerie-folk in the Unseelie Court.

S4 Ep13: Loremen S4 Ep13 - The Mystery of Cromwell's Head
James introduces Alasdair to the original prankster himself, Oliver Cromwell! Legendarily one of history's great monsters, Cromwell was actually very annoying on an interpersonal level too. Let the Loremen fill you in on some of Olly Crom's lesser-known legends - his (terrible) sense of humour, the town he definitely didn't destroy and whatever became of his disembodied head.
Prepare yourself for an uncommonly respectful episode, with a lengthy sidebar discovering the difference between seasoning and a condiment.

S4 Ep12: Loremen S4 Ep12 - The Ghosts of Spokane
Having come into the possession of certain manuscripts on North American lore, James Shakeshaft whisks you off to Spokane in Washington State. Supposedly the healthiest city in the world, Spokane has so many serial killers they need their own subcategories.
This episode welcomes Alasdair back from Edinburgh for a whistle-stop tour of a city that will tickle your funny bones while simultaneously tingling your spine. Meet a candy poisoner, a faith healer, the oldest ghost EVER and the Loreboy's annoying alien sidekick Spokey-doke.
(His catchphrase is "Spokey-dokey!" and we hate him.)
The Loreboys are BACK!

Featherstone Corrections Minisode
Alasdair is back!
But literally only just so we are not back up to full speed yet. Hence the minisode. Plus we have some unfinished business to take care of... namely the recent guest Deputying of Lore-Host Chris Cantrill. There's a couple of errors that need addressing and some very funny names that need flagging.
For patreons check out the bonus episode feed for a sequel to "The Maggotting"
