November 26, 2020 S3 Ep47: Loremen S3 Ep47 - Andrew O'Neill - Weird Milton Keynes
This episode comes from the much derided and profoundly strange city of Milton Keynes. The Lorepokes are joined by comedy maverick, steampunk pioneer and practising ritual magician Andrew O’Neill.

MK’s ultra-modernist architecture conceals a cursed elm tree, a diabolical neighbour and a time-travelling windmill. Learn the secret of invisibility from Aleister Crowley, try to avoid the Illuminati and DO NOT EAT THE MYSTERY JELLY.

You have been warned.

November 19, 2020 S3 Ep46: Loremen S3 Ep46 - Crystal Palace
Alasdair and James return to the borough where the Loremen first saddled up. It may sound like a fairy tale, but South London was once home to a great palace of cast iron and glass. Crystal Palace may have burned down*, but many mysteries remain…

Plummet! Into a ghost train full of Victorian skeletons. Dine! Inside an historically inaccurate dinosaur. Marvel! As a vengeful TV psychic comes a cropper. Listen! To this episode.

* Somehow. Like, glass and iron don’t burn, so…? We’re just asking questions.

November 12, 2020 S3 Ep45: Loremen S3 Ep45 - Grey Dolphin
A thrilling Kentish episode this week! James recounts the legend of 14th century kick-machine Sir Robert de Shurland. He kicked cattle. He kicked commoners. He kicked clergymen. NO ONE was safe from his pied-à-terror!
This ep features a B-plot concerning a sailor's corpse with a wicked grin, who wreaked havoc on Kent's coastal churchyards. James pushes the boundaries of podcast storytelling* and gives you a startlingly accurate idea of the size of the Isle of Sheppey. (It's approximately Bristol plus Winchester).
*tells the story slightly out of chronological order for dramatic effect.

November 05, 2020 S3 Ep44: Loremen S3 Ep44 - The Wyck Rissington Maze
The Loremen came together for a special Halloween livestream, and here is the audio thereof! Featuring the much-anticipated reveal of great-grandaddy Shakeshaft's name! (It is not a human name.)

James brings you a clock-hating poltergeist, a classic haunted inn and a bunch of skeletons that are believed... to be dead. The stories all connect, but how? Gather your red string and thumbtacks now, for one challenge remains.

Are you brave enough to enter the ghost maze of Wyck Rissington? (Say it with a flourish.)

October 22, 2020 S3 Ep43: Loremen S3 Ep43 - The Green Children of Woolpit
Alasdair takes us on a journey to the Otherworld. The tale begins at the Peak District's rudest tourist attraction, stops off at Yorkshire's sauciest Neolithic mound and then emerges from the "ancient cavities" of Suffolk. The Green Children of Woolpit raise more questions than they answer. Do aliens exist? Do fairies? What about Australians? What are they all about?

Accent warning - the Loreblokes do a wide variety of Australian accents in this episode. Often within the same sentence.

October 15, 2020 S3 Ep42: Loremen S3 Ep42 - Dana Alexander - Luna the Orca
Comedian and genuine Canadian Dana Alexander takes us 'neath the waves of the legendary Pacific Northwest (or Pacific Southwest from Canada's point of view). The Nootka Sound was once home to an orphaned Killer Whale called Luna who just wanted attention from sailors. Hey, we've all been there. This episode also features some dodgy Canadian accent work from James and Alasdair, you betcha.

October 08, 2020 S3 Ep41: Loremen S3 Ep41 - The Boscombe Whale
We figured that every man and his podcast would be doing a spooky special in honour of Halloween month, so we've gone entirely ghost-free. James tells the tale of a kooky doctor trying to dispose of a dead body. The twist? It's a whale's body. The other twist? He's really bad at it. (Feat. Gary Barlow)

October 01, 2020 S3 Ep40: Loremen S3 Ep40 - Chillingham Castle
Alasdair wows James with England's self-proclaimed "most haunted castle." That description is technically accurate, in that it is a castle that's been on the TV show "Most Haunted".

Alasdair tells a tale of skeletons, charlatans and circus clowns, and James nearly derails the episode with an anecdote about crisps. Crisps... and lies.

September 24, 2020 S3 Ep39: Loremen S3 Ep39 - The Midnight Library - The Great Lakes Monsters
The Loremen travel through time and space (which is literally the only way to travel) to visit the dark and delightful Midnight Library Podcast.

Yes, this is a crossover episode!

We meet the mysterious Miranda Merrick, who regales us with tales of the Great Lake Monsters. Are the monsters great? Or the lakes? The answer is yes. This time, your humble Loreboys are more than out of their depth. Pull on a slanket and join us.

September 17, 2020 S3 Ep38: Loremen S3 Ep38 - Rosie Holt - The Witch of Wookey Hole
We've all heard of Wookey Hole, haven't we? HAVEN'T WE? Oh, we haven't? Huh.

Then let Deputy Loreperson Rosie Holt introduce you to Somerset's 2nd best subterranean tourist attraction. James chips in with a bunch of West Country witch tales that all have something familiar about them. (That's a pun.) Plus a timeless lesson on the dangers of pig sarcasm, and a hot tip for getting rid of unwanted toads.
