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.

August 12, 2021 S3 Ep76: Loremen S3 Ep76 - Odd Robin
James Shakeshaft takes Alasdair Beckett-King back to Chipping Campden via Chipping Sodbury, County Louth and North London. The Lorelads are on tour [AIRHORN!] and they have one thing on their minds – sightings of animal ghosts.

August 04, 2021 S3 Ep75: Loremen S3 Ep75 - Forrest Burgess - The Soap Woman
The Soap Woman of Lake Crescent
The Loremen visit Twin Peaks country, and in damn fine company. The year is 1940 and Forrest Burgess (off of Astonishing Legends) takes Alasdair and James to the shores of Lake Crescent in Washington State. Plumbing its chilly depths, we uncover a murderer, a hardboiled detective and an underwater corpse-catcher.

We also stop off for a malt at Mount Olympus, visit the Hall of American Names and learn why there’s really no such thing as a good bundle.

Content Warning: This episode includes details of a real murder case and – implicitly – domestic violence.

July 29, 2021 S3 Ep74: Loremen S3 Ep74 - The Ghosts in the Window
You know the feeling. It's night-time and you're all alone. You get the strangest feeling that if you look into the glass of a darkened window, you might see a scary figure looking back at you?

Well, the tale that Alasdair Beckett-King chills James Shakeshaft with in this episode is ever so similar. Except it's daytime, you're in church with other people, and the figures seem to be acting out a boring play. So... the same. It's the fenestral spectres of Trinity Church in York.

Disclaimer: WE CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH that Alasdair found his information from a number of sources. Not you Colin. Really.

July 15, 2021 S3 Ep73: Loremen S3 Ep73 - Poppy Hillstead - The Green Lady of Thorpe Hall, Louth
Poppy Hillstead has entered the podcast! Award winning comic and podcaster (Poppy Hillstead Has Entered The Chat) joins the Loreboys with a tale of the Green Lady who haunted her childhood in the Lincolnshire Wolds. In a shocking twist, the Green Lady turns out to be a) real, b) Spanish and c) kinda clingy.

Find out why everyone is talking about Poppy’s pig’s eyes, marvel at the ultimate stag-do-gone-wrong, and listen very carefully – James might just sing!

July 08, 2021 S3 Ep72: Loremen S3 Ep72 - The Miner and the Ghost
Alasdair Beckett-King and James Shakeshaft head for the haunted heights of Derbyshire’s High Peak. Somewhere between Light Peak and Dark Peak, betwixt spooky and spoopy, they uncover a tale of drunken revelry and unearthly terror. This episode also features parachute petticoats and an ode to The Pub that borders on (without actually being) poetry.

P.S. Let’s make “Noon of Night” a thing.
