April 22, 2021 S3 Ep65: Loremen S3 Ep65 - The Isle of Thanet
Ah, the Isle of Thanet! A place of great antiquity. Some say its name comes from "Ynys Thanatos" - the Isle of the Dead - a folkloric curio which James totally neglects to mention, and instead spends most of the episode talking about rollercoasters. But the ups-and-downs of Thanet don't end there. We also have an over-hyped hero, a touchy ghost and someone called Erminburga. Plus at least one "fun fact" and minimum two murdered princes. (The standard Loremen ratio.)

April 15, 2021 S3 Ep64: Loremen S3 Ep64 - Robin Ince - Grim's Ditch
Robin Ince (R4's Infinite Monkey Cage & The Cosmic Shambles Network) takes the Loremen for a meander along Grim's Ditch. On the way, they encounter everything from 1970s horror films to 1970s folk horror films. Plus some very lazy ghosts, a prophetic river and a film franchise that will doubtless rival the great trilogies (Back To The Future, The Godfather and Big Momma's).

April 08, 2021 S3 Ep63: Loremen S3 Ep63 - April Fools' LIVE
Those mischievous Loremen celebrated April Fools' Day the only way they know how: a live stream! Listen in for tales of impossible frogs, the dangers of 'lad banter' and, of course, dead body hijinks. Think of this episode as a sort of Bank Holiday Weekend at Bernie's.

*MOOIE WARNING KLAXON:* Mooie warning.

March 25, 2021 S3 Ep62: Loremen S3 Ep62 - Pitcairn Island
Alasdair takes us to the most remote (inhabited) place on earth! Prepare yourself for mutineers, Neo-Pagans and a giant glass ball full of noisome gases. We meet Thursday October Christian and discover that paradise is not all it's cracked up to be.

There's a lot to learn from this episode: when not to go to a party, how many Chuckle Brothers there were, and which is better, Tahiti or Norfolk?

March 18, 2021 S3 Ep61: Loremen S3 Ep61 - The Birdcage, Thame
James has dug up a genuinely spooky inn-based tale this week. The Birdcage is a 600+ year old public house with a fearsome ghost, a horrible history and a serious pigeon problem. Be warned, this ghost frightens women, children, Australians and pornographers alike.

The Loreboys also encounter Batman's shabbiest foe, and wilfully denigrate the filmography of a beloved comic actor. (Sorry, Robin Williams.)

March 11, 2021 S3 Ep60: Loremen S3 Ep60 - Amy Gledhill - Brother Jucundus
Old York, Old York. So York they named it York. Amy Gledhill (Radio 2, The Delightful Sausage, A Lovely Time) joins the Loreboys to delve into the story of York's original party animal: Brother Jucundus. He was a monk-about-town who took a little more of the holy spirit than was good for him. "Up, up, up we go!"

This episode features a cut-out-and-keep joke that listeners can say whenever they are in York. (Unless James Shakeshaft is also in York, in which case he will be saying it.)

March 04, 2021 S3 Ep59: Loremen S3 Ep59 - The Edinburgh Castle Mystery
King Jimmy the 1st and/or 6th of England and/or Scotland had quite a rough ride, from “witnessing” a political assassination in utero to being attacked by the world’s rudest cat. This monarch’s silver spoon was something of a double-edged sword (like that special knife designed for cutting grapefruit and/or your tongue). In fact, some believe that little Jim Royal didn’t make it out of short trousers.

Will the Loreboys solve the Edinburgh Castle Mystery? [Inhales sharply through teeth like a builder] “we could mate, but it’ll cost ya…”

PS: These are Hula Hoops

Content Warning: The themes of this episode include infant mortality.
