October 21, 2021 S3 Ep84: Loremen S3 Ep84 - Bethany Black - Grace Darling
James and Alasdair are joined by comedian and actor Bethany Black (Doctor Who, Cucumber), telling the tale of Bethany's own ancestor, the lighthouse-dwelling heroine Grace Darling. When storm winds cast a steamship onto the jagged rocks of the Farne Islands, nine people are left clinging onto the prow and - by extension - life.

This episode features goat-riding devils, an encounter with a Pontefract psychic, and one Mr. Sillyman. Plus, an opportunity to discover whether a leaking engine is a big deal on a steamship (HINT: it is).

Content Warning: References to drug use, Queen Victoria, and Queen Victoria's drug use.

October 14, 2021 S3 Ep83: Loremen S3 Ep83 - The Bleeding House
A quiet English home is disturbed by the sounds of piano music... but the Forster family do not own a piano. Pretty spooky, huh? So begins one of the most inexplicable hauntings the Loremen have ever encountered.

Podcasting from their sickbeds, two brave little Loreboys share a ghost story featuring numerous unexplained apparitions and a guest appearance from disembodied cryptid, The Hairy Hands of Dartmoor. Plus, a timely reminder of the difference between a cat food magnate and a cat food magnet.

How do you like (bobbing for) them apples?

Loreboys nether say die!

October 07, 2021 S3 Ep82: Loremen S3 Ep 82 - The Ghost and Mr Chicken
A dead husband returns with a dreadful warning... Yes, it's another spoopy episode!

This tale of tragedy and terror comes from the North East of England. Whilst we think it might not be a real ghost (and we are certain it's not a real chicken) this investigation does afford a rare opportunity to meet Joseph Stalin at the seaside. And is only slightly undermined by the Loreboys laughing at the protagonist's name.

September 30, 2021 S3 Ep81: Loremen S3 Ep81 - The Stow Poltergeist
The Loremen visit a famously chilly Cotswolds town and meet a quintessentially British poltergeist. In 1963, an ordinary Stow-On-The-Wold family experienced something quite extraordinary. Their chilling tale features booby traps, a gifted plumber, and the most cantankerous household spirit since Gef The Talking Mongoose.

Join us, on this spine-chilling journey, and also learn why Heraclitus didn’t know crap about rivers.

September 23, 2021 S3 Ep80: Loremen S3 Ep80 - 100th Episode (Pt. 2) The Margate Shell Grotto and the Ornamental Hermits
What is the Margate Shell Grotto? A Roman temple? A cubbyhole of the Knights Templar? The lair of a very odd Batman villain? Getting to the bottom of this subterranean head scratcher, the Loreboys meet the semi-aquatic Lord Rokeby and discover the tragic consequences of a rodent-bird love triangle. All of this, in front of a live studio audience!

This is the second part of our 100th Episode Extravaganza™ which you can find uncut on YouTube. With thanks to Angel Comedy at The Bill Murray and Kien of Negative Space Design.

September 16, 2021 S3 Ep79: Loremen S3 Ep79 - 100th Episode (Pt. 1) London, Underground
A trilogy of bone-chilling subterranean tales are unearthed by James, in Part 1 of our 100th episode “spectacular.” Marvel, as the Loremen encounter a mummy’s curse, get lost in the Kennington Loop and come face-to-face with an Absolute Bad Boy.

We also learn the French term for earthquake and answer the age-old riddle: when is a wig, not a wig? And finally, the disembodied voice of (friend of the show) Chris Cantrill holds the Loreboys to account.

Recorded in front of a live studio audience, full of loyal Lorefolk. Plus one guy who looked very confused.

September 02, 2021 S3 Ep78: Loremen S3 Ep 78 - Sir Gawain and The Green Knight
From the depths of Wales's Brecon Beacons, at the Green Man Festival, two plucky Loreboys attempted a pod-first: recording a podcast in a tent. Sadly, it proved to be too rainy and of that recording, only fragments remain…

Join Alasdair and James for exclusive access to the so-called 'Green Man Tapes,' as well as the 14th Century tale of a true-hearted knight, an un-jolly green giant and someone's hot wife.

We're doing a live show in front of an actual audience* on Sunday 12th Sept, 4.30-6pm at the Bill Murray Pub in London. Tickets are £5 in advance, or you can Pay What You Want after the show.

August 26, 2021 S3 Ep77: Loremen S3 Ep77 - The Penryn Tragedy
James returns from a minibreak in Cornwall with a swashbuckling tale of piracy, mistaken identity and being very annoying. Don't worry - all those things apply to the protagonist of the Penryn Tragedy, not James. Prepare yourself for a deadly case of banter-gone-wrong in this Cornish bloodbath.

So gather your booty, moisten your Pogs, and join the Loremen on a quest to discover which popular British celebrity is responsible for 70% of accidents at sea. This episode was recorded in front of a live (stream) audience, as part of the Twinge Festival.

We're doing a live show in front of an actual audience* on Sunday 12th Sept, 4.30-6pm at the Bill Murray Pub in London. Tickets are £5 in advance, or you can Pay What You Want after the show.
