November 03, 2022 S4 Ep20: Loremen S4 Ep20 - Do Go On UK Tour
Well, it's something a little different this week! Matt Stewart and Dave Warneke of Do Go On join James for a whistle stop tour of British folklore.

These hilarious Australian podcasters are embarking on their own UK tour (dates are here: dogoonpod.com/live-shows) and James kindly shares the snippets of folklore, history and Telly Savalas trivia that every visitor simply must know.

Our very own James is actually going to be joining Matt for a live recording of Who Knew It with Matt Stewart in Bristol on the 17th November. "Come along! It should be a real fun time." - James Shakeshaft, 2022.

October 27, 2022 S4 Ep19: Loremen S4 Ep19 - The Coach Ghost
Another Halloween spooker! This week, Alasdair unfolds a tale from the Great North Road, or thereabouts. This yarn has everything: highwaymen, road ghosts, the director Peter Jackson and accents. At least two accents.

October 20, 2022 S4 Ep18: Loremen S4 Ep 18 - The Exmouth Summoning
"The boatman awaits..."

As 90s soul sensation Gabrielle once sang, dreams CAN come true. She also sang, "look at me babe I'm with you," but that is less relevant to this story.

This episode's legend comes from James's Spooky Book Of The Month, Haunted England by Christina Hole. It's a tale of premonition and a kind of spooky justice...

October 13, 2022 S4 Ep17: Loremen S4 Ep17 - The Comical Tragedy of Mr Punch - LIVE!
You're listening to Loreboys Investigate: When Glove Puppets Kill. Alasdair helps James get better acquainted with one Mr Punch: the nastiest little man in England. And that is a very competitive field indeed.

In this episode, the Loreboys take on a true folk antihero. Mr Punch is malevolent, puckish and proud. And just like Super Mario, he's lost his Italian accent. Find out why you should never touch your neighbour's sausages, and learn how the Punch and Judy show influenced the writing of ghostmaster-general, M. R. James.

This episode was recorded in front of a very well-mannered live audience as part of the Cheerful Earful Podcast festival.

Content Warning: Punch and Judy is a traditional form of children's entertainment, so expect bloody murder and domestic violence.

October 06, 2022 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...

September 29, 2022 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.

September 22, 2022 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.

September 15, 2022 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.

September 08, 2022 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!
