March 23, 2023 S4 Ep37: Loremen S4 Ep37 - The Vampyre with Sacha Coward
Stoke your Brams and Bram your Stokers, because James and Alasdair are joined by Sacha Coward: escape room designer and author of the upcoming book Queer as Folklore. Taking us from Lilith to Lord Byron (stopping off at Tom Cruise for a layover), Sacha unearths the LGBTQ+ subtext of the Vampire.

Sorry, Vampyre. Say it with a Y.

We touch on some slightly more serious themes than our usual fare of decapitations and maggot-covered doors, but you'll have to check out the Patreon extras for the really slanderous stuff...

March 16, 2023 S4 Ep36: Loremen S4 Ep36 - The Devil's Hoofprints
Did the Devil themself come to town on a cold February night in Devon and just sort of wander around? That's just one of the hypotheses put forward to explain the uncanny appearance of prints in the snow all across the county.

Was it Old Nick? Or was it a gang of kangaroos? An acrobatic rodent? Or, like so many things in life, was it simply badgers?

Who knows? YOU DECIDE. We certainly don't.

March 09, 2023 S4 Ep35: Loremen S4 Ep35 - Nick Mason - The Miracle of the Geese
The Loremen are joined by loveable Australian podman Nick "Maso" Mason of The Weekly Planet. Naturally, they take their new deputy straight to Northampton, home of comic book legend Alan "Alan" Moore. There, the loreboys attempt to dazzle Maso with two tales. One is a little bit too stare-y and the other is a very naughty goose. AND THATS JUST ALASDAIR AND JAMES hahahaha!

Well, that just happened...

Expect a cutting dissection of Joss Whedonic humour, and more. And check out Nick @wikipediabrown on The Weekly Planet Podcast and that YouTube.

March 02, 2023 S4 Ep34: Loremen S4 Ep34 - Three Ghouls of Rutland - LIVE!
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:

February 23, 2023 Loremen Minisode - Croft Hill, Leicester
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?

February 16, 2023 S4 Ep33: Loremen S4 Ep33 - Jenny Collier - The Flower Maiden
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):

February 09, 2023 S4 Ep32: Loremen - S4 Ep32 - Denizens of Another World
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.

For the completist - here is the full livestream...

February 02, 2023 S4 Ep31: Loremen S4 Ep31 - The Wold Rangers with Amy Gledhill
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!

January 19, 2023 S4 Ep30: Loremen S4 Ep30 - The Blue Man of Bedfordshire
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.
