Urbane Legends episodes
- Platte River Ghost ShipWhat is a podcast? Is this a podcast? Are you a podcast? Who's to say. This week we look at the entertaining legend of the Platte River Ghost Ship. In Wyoming and in a worryingly small river this ship give a portents of doom in increasingly theatrical ways. We also look at some of the nice places to stay in the area. And talk about Chinese food, get confused, Highlander and a legal letter from an American Big Boy

1 hr 19 min - Indrid Cold - Smiling ManThis week we look at the strange creature called 'Indrid Cold', possibly an Alien with a Willem Defoe smile. There have been multiple sightings of Smiling Man (three) but the main action takes place in the back roads of the West Virgina countryside, where all the hottest action takes place, wink wink, if you know you know. Lonely nights in the hills. Also Chris has some digestion issues with some fast food and Neil claims to know nothing about a new Irish themed erotic dancer who has been leafletting Portslade of late.

1 hr 20 min - Hawkesbury River Monster
*WARNING - BOARDERLINE RACISIT AUSTRALIAN ACCENTS EMPLOYED* (its retaliation for the terrible British accents Australian podcasters do)
This week we go south of the boarder to Australia, Britain's Mexico, to check out the Hawkesbury River Monster, Australia's Loch Ness Monster, yes thats right Australia's Nessie has been sighted hundreds of times in the Hawkesbury river, which is very deep as its a flooded valley. Known to the Aboriginal peoples of the area as the Moolyewonk, which is better and appearing on rock art from thousands of years ago, it truly is Australia's Loch Ness Monster...or a Pike Eel. You decide. But Australia's Loch Ness Monster has stiff competition from Australia's bigfoot the Yowie. Come on Australia, you don't have to compare it with other more famous stuff, have some pride. Also its length is measured in Holden cars. I don't know whats happening.

50 min - Black Stick MenThis week we look at a new-ish one the 'Black Stick Men Phenomenon' people all over the world (but mainly the UK and US as always, what is it with us?) seeing living stick men, that are a bit electrical. They seem to be interdimensional, so its a mind bender. Right, try this, imagine what it would be like for you if you were able to perceive and travel through the 5th dimension. Hard isn't it. I can't to be honest, I find the 3rd dimension hard enough. Also we chat about being in Greece and the much missed 80's cock rock band 'The Sex Pirates' with their hit song 'Sex marks the Spot'

1 hr 10 min - La Mala HoraThe witching hour, when you wake up in the middle of the night. Is it because the industrial revolution forced us to sleep in patterns that are conflict of millions of years of evolution? Or is it because of a Mexican witch demon? We simply dont know either way so pick your poison. Sometimes a beautiful lady in white who kills you in an ok-ish way, some times a hag in black who kills you in a not ok-ish way, sometimes a floating blob of blackness, this lady has it all. Also this week Neil talks about a childs book he is now reading about a skellington detective, as his mind slowly degrades, and Chris says some stuff i cant remember

1 hr 7 min - Charlie No FaceThis week we go against type and look into the pretty uplifting story of Charlie No Face. A real life legend not only because of the crazy stories told about him by bored teenagers but a legend because of what kind of person he was. An inspirational figure we can all learn from. Also we discuss Neil smuggling diamonds in his penis.

1 hr - A Tale of Two GimpsAs we all know Gimp politics in the UK can be a complicated issue to try and unravel but who better to try than us. This week we look at two Gimps with very different approaches to their lifestyle choice. Is it ever a good idea to try and scare two teenage boys who have been drinking strong strong cider? What should be considered threatening behaviour by law, Chris for sure had strong views. And Neils off on his holidays, having made a typically odd choice.

51 min - ManananggalThis week the Ladz (40 and 45 respectively) are back on familiar ground with a look at the Philippines greatest hero the Manananggal. There are still sighting to this day and its been around since time immemorial so it has staying power thats for sure, perhaps due to the variety of victims it will go for, or the black chicken that lives inside it. Also some stuff about Neil going to the laundry to keep it real.

1 hr 1 min - Moon Landing ConspiracySeries 5 and the soy boyz are back in the saddle. This rocking week they take a knarley look at one everyone has heard of: The Fake Moon Landing. What has the film the Shining got to do with it, did they give it away after a night on the Vegas slots? Was the set dressing taken from Colombo? And some good old fashioned coconut handling advice from a man who makes it his business to know. Slightly shorter than normal, sorry, just getting into the swing.

55 min - Classic 2 Merlins Oak & RougarouThe second Classic episodes from series one before normal service resumes next week, two legends of EXACTLY the same detail, lore, history and infamy, Merlins Oak and Rougarou. Oh and FYI, these aren't two old episodes cut down and pasted together, they are a re-imagined and streamlined retrospective.

Are you a fan of hauntings, vortexes, lay lines, mysterious shit and Pigman? Well this is the pod for you. Each week a new urban legend is looked at with a non-scientific rigour only seen usually at the top of government. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll fast forward you may even fall in love (unrelated).
Feel free to email about the show if you have any theories about anything discussed, and urban legends you want us to look at, if you want any advice on etiquette or anything or have a speed boat to sell Neil. If the email is insulting I should state in advance that I have a black web hacker on retainer and I am very vindictive.
