September 10, 2020 S3 Ep37: Loremen S3 Ep37 - Yuriko Kotani - The Kappa
Yuriko Kontani joins the Loreboys to talk about the Kappa - a quirky Japanese river-monster with some nasty appetites. Webbed hands and a bowl on its head are the least of your worries.In spite of our best efforts, this episode contains much talk of bottoms, bumholes and farts. So if you're listening with kids, be warned that they're going to love it.

September 03, 2020 S3 Ep36: Loremen S3 Ep36 - Eleanor Morton - Major Weir, Edinburgh
Edinburgh's roll-call of villains is long, crooked and rotten. Like the worst banana. And Major Weir is one of the nastiest. Thomas Weir aka "Angelic Thomas" did not live up to that nickname, as you will soon discover.
Eleanor Morton, Edinburgh native, comedian and mystery enthusiast, joined the Loremen livestream to get to the bottom of this devil of a fellow. Stay tuned after the credits to hear a horror story from James's real life. It is in the top three most disgusting stories he's told on the pod.

August 27, 2020 S3 Ep35: Loremen S3 Ep35 - Sunil Patel - The Garrick's Head, Bath
The Garrick's Head pub is home to many Bath-based legends, so we called up our Bath area Deputy Loreperson - Sunil Patel (BBC Asian Network).
The Loreboys cover a fair amount of genuine history in this one, from pneumatic wigs to the MC of Bath's extravagant balls. And before you ask - YES! We do describe several 1970s photos of 1970s men pointing towards places ghosts were once seen.

August 20, 2020 S3 Ep34: Loremen S3 Ep34 - The Legend of Hampden Pye
Faringdon in Oxfordshire is a peculiar town. The folly comes with a health warning and the doves are painted neon colours. The most unsurprising thing about the place is that the graveyard has a ghost: the headless spectre of poor Hampden Pye.

James spills the beans on how Hampden lost his head, when all about were keeping theirs.

Also, it was very, very hot when we recorded and we are very, very English. So we moan about it. A lot.

(Contains mild references to violence and suicide.)

August 13, 2020 S3 Ep33: Loremen S3 Ep33 - The Chanctonbury Ring
This tale has it all; Romans, bikers, buried treasure, UFOs, the devil, a woman, trees. You name it! If anything, Chanctonbury Ring in the South Downs has too much folklore.

This ep also features two of Alasdair's 'best' voices and will leave you questioning whether James understands how hills work...

August 06, 2020 S3 Ep32: Loremen S3 Ep32 - The Ghosts of Clopton House
It's only the most haunted house in the bloomin' Midlands!

James tells us about Stratford-upon-Avon's star-crossed Clopton Family, who met some truly tragic fates - in one case a LITERALLY sticky end. But their untimely deaths may have inspired Shakespeare and Edgar Allen Poe. So that's... good?

Maybe?

We also reveal which historic building Alasdair has been kicked out of and (as a post-credits bonus) James has prepared some Shakespeare puns.

Niche? Us? Yes, very!

July 30, 2020 S3 Ep31: Loremen S3 Ep31 - The Magic Ointment of Netherwitton
Ah, the fae folk, they seem so carefree and jolly. But theirs is a society full of arbitrary rules and harsh punishments even for the most unintentional infractions. Also they're very small and get upset when you look directly at them. Sounds like working with Tom Cruise.

In this episode, Alasdair takes us into the realm of the faeries (Northumberland) as your bold Loremen face a second wave of Lockdown Fever... May Pob have mercy on our souls. Loreboys nether say die!

July 23, 2020 S3 Ep30: Loremen S3 Ep30 - Ross Brierley - The Plague Village of Eyam
The award winning Ross Brierley (of The Not So Late Show) takes the Loremen on a (virtual) tour of the village of Eyam. Fans of nominative determinism will be both pleased and annoyed by this tale, like someone whose name was Jolly Upset. This Derbyshire tragedy features ghosts, noble sacrifices and 1 (one) magical pudding-boy. No explanation needed or given.

(To the listeners writing in about our lax scoring: you win all right... or do you?)

If you'd care to spare a sou or two...

July 16, 2020 S3 Ep29: Loremen S3 Ep29 - Rollright Stones LIVE
The 50th episode sees the Lorefolks tackle the Rollright Stones in a special livestream edition! The past and the future collide, as predicted by the film Stargate and to a lesser extent the TV series of the same name. Discover standing stones, a witch's curse and the dreaded Dix Pit.

You can also watch the full livestream here: www.loremenpodcast.com/episode-29-s3

Thanks to all our loyal listeners, here's to 50 more! (50 more episodes, not 50 more listeners. We'd settle for 25.)

Bonus Content: James attempting to make a Serial-esque podcast phenomenon out of the Snuffling Beast of Lidstone. It lasts ten minutes, but bless 'im, he tried.

Mooie Warning: They're back.

July 09, 2020 S3 Ep28: Loremen S3 Ep28 - The Three Ghosts
Alasdair invites you into his 'psychomanteum' to hear a triptych of ghostly tales. You want a ghost to get bullied by schoolboys? You got it!

You want a ghost who steals hats? No problem!You want a ghost on skates chatting to a hip vicar? Weirdly specific. But yes, we have that too. Do we need to mention we've come up with a new detective series concept? Because we blooming well have.
