April 23, 2020 S3 Ep18: Loremen S3 Ep18 - Francisco González - Robert the Doll
FLORIDA MAN RECORDS PODCAST! The Loremen are joined by indie game auteur Francisco González - a genuine American! He gives us the lowdown on Florida's creepiest life-size, melty-faced, doll-boy, Robert the Doll.

This bumper episode also investigates Florida's OTHER claim to paranormal fame: the Skunk Ape of the everglades. (He's basically a stinky bigfoot.) Plus, if you enjoyed the world's oldest paperboy in last week's episode, you'll go crazy for America's smallest post office. (It's impractically small!)

April 16, 2020 S3 Ep17: Loremen S3 Ep17 - Harriet Braine - The Goat Boy of Surbiton
Award-winning comedian Harriet Braine steps up to the Loremen plate and tries to convince us that Surbiton is an interesting place, actually. We meet modern folk legends in the form of a goat-headed cheesemaker, a dead giant and the world's oldest paper boy. However, we do end up talking about the train station a lot. Such is the overwhelming blandness of Surbiton: "The city suburb that always sleeps".

This boy knows his pork and porcine lore! Meanwhile, James embarrasses himself and insults the North. (Neither for the first time.) We also learn why a Bradfordian should always carry a tongue and how Chris is handling lockdown with his in-laws.

April 02, 2020 S3 Ep15: Loremen S3 Ep15 - The Manchester Mummy
A Mancunian tale of the macabre. Two hauntings, one terrible clock, several pronunciations of M. Night Shyamalan and a twist we're sure you won't see coming. (The twist isn't that there is no twist. Come on.) This episode is another coronavirus lockdown edition, so please listen from a safe distance of 2 metres (6' 6").

March 12, 2020 S3 Ep12: Loremen S3 Ep12 - Sooz Kempner - The Gremlins
Award winning comedian Sooz Kempner (Mystery On The Rocks Podcast) joins the Loremen with stories of airborne gremlins. Not to be confused with the film Gremlins (1984), these impish critters* outfoxed RAF pilots in World War 2. As always**, the Loremen shine the searing light of scrutiny on our guest's tall tales. But will we finish recording the episode before the gremlins attack?

*not to be confused with the film Critters (1986).

**not to be confused with the film Always (1989).

Which musical instruments can Satan play?

Why does Warwick market stink?

How big is TOO big for a shoe?

February 27, 2020 S3 Ep10: Loremen S3 Ep10 - Michael Legge - Finn McCool
Comedian and podcaster Michael Legge (you know - off Do The Right Thing) joins the Loremen to tell us about the Irish legend of Fionn mac Cumhail - aka - Finn McCool. We learn why it is big and clever to act like a massive baby, which is useful. Plus who was the more famous 7Up logo, Fido Dido or Cool Spot? AND which character from the extended Back To The Future universe James's wife thinks he is the most like.

February 20, 2020 S3 Ep9: Loremen S3 Ep9 - The Roaring Bull of Bagbury
Like all great tales, this episode begins with a riddle and ends with a warning...

The Roaring Bull of Bagbury is certainly a unique story that sparks off some sinister memories from James' past. And poses a few of life's bigger questions - What are the Mooies? What size is a small pineapple? How big is too big a bull?

MOOIE WARNING - contains talk of Mooies.

Should have warned you earlier, soz.
