Urbane Legends episodes
- Djibouti Devil IslandTo the horn of Africa this week with a look at the Devil Island of Djibouti. A fisher mans warning? Devils resting place? Sea monstors or secret government facility. Who knows, very little has been written about it all honesty. Deep sea grifter Jacques Crustose turns up and decides something for humanity. Also, can you miss a country if you are travelling specifically to it? Also involved is Neil's first steps on dry land and an emissary of the underwater city of Flon-Tarr and Chris brings juggling into the XXX-Treme 1990's

54 min - Jacques St GermainThis week we look at the time bending charmer Jacques, or Conte, St Germain. Quite the man about town in New Orleans around the turn of last century until he wasnt, or maybe still is. Also discussed, cut priced sausages and the boy band Neil managers with 15 members! Marvel as he struggles to name them all.

55 min - Boo HagToday we visit the terrifying tale of the Boo hag: is it a victim of cancel culture? Why are so many ghouls distracted by having to count things? Opinions on the Blue Man group and Kraftwerk and the benefits of a high sodium diet. RIP Lance Reddick.

1 hr 8 min - Greenock CatmanThis weeks episode has been paid for by the Greenock Tourist Board (GTB). We look at local legend, home town hero the Catman. There is plenty about him online including a hilarious video of the man himself. This is either hilarious or very dark and we will leave it to the listener to decide. Always a chance he is a Russian dissident. Also Neils new 50's style dinner/nursing home/tax dodge, do the Gods speak through Chris now he is a guru in Goa and Jay Kay from Jamiroquai turns up out of the blue

1 hr 1 min - Red RoomCast your mind back to the late 90's early noughties internet, pop ups were a real drag but if you are reading this you must never have been infiltrated by THIS pop up, or you would be dead, unless you get Wi-fi in the afterlife? Maybe, i dont know how it works. If you are listening from beyond the grave get in touch so i can stop fearing the void of nothingness. We discuss this Japanese creepy pasta, consider if it was in fact a viral campaign by add blocker plus to get people to pay for premium, compare it to Ringu, predict augmented reality adverts, Colombian football matches, Neil being William Tell-pilled, Chris' new life as a French Transnational swimming pool and introducing Mr Sparkles.

1 hr - Le LoyonThis week we head to the Swiss countryside to look at the Ghost of the Woods 'Le Loyon'. Is it a spirit? is it a forest gimp? Is it someone who shops at Camden market, whatever it is it was scaring the people around since the early 90's and was well known to the workshy local police. We also talk about Neils invention of mesmerism, why Chris is trying to tie the drinking of cream to the great replacement theory, Anime/Manga, MC Scat Cat and Paula Abdul (again) Cliff Richards on set, Trench Goth Power Rangers and Neils attempt to negg the country of Switzerland in order to get free chocolate, and whether this was Neils plan for the podcast since day one?

56 min - Pisadeira Brazilian Old HagDon't come at me, I didn't come up with the 'Old Hag' name. This week we look at a night creeper from Brazil, who will attack you in bed after a you've had a large meal. I know what you're thinking....Jackpot! But as to whether you think its Jackpot! is down to personal taste and we are not here to yuck your yum. It's one of the 13 rules in the Urban Legends PLC code of ethics. We also talk about Neils massive lottery win, Chris' love of Sqwerls (squirrels) and Brazilian politics for some reason.

57 min - Loveland FrogThis week we go back to basics with a look at Ohio's greatest hero the Loveland Frog. Several sightings and a possible explanation? The frogman is pretty fab-u-lous whatever was you cut it. We also talk Neils bounty hunting show 'Rough Justice', the life of a mystery shopper, people using the term 'flyover state', Hellbenderrrrrrs and what part did Elton John play in this whole mess?

57 min - Parson and the ClerkWell you demanded it and we finally gave in. Yes this week we look at the worlds most infamous legend the Parson and the Clerk (tm). We endeavour to treat it with the seriousness and gravity it warrants but we are aware that the backlash could be huge. To lighten the mood we also talk about Horse Detectives, Chris 'Big Daddy' Flynn's oil company, a salmon man, Bee's taking direct action, ball lightning and a witch trial.

1 hr 3 min - Baseball Curses - Bambino and Billy GoatThis week in a vague attempt to broaden our appeal we look at two baseball curses, namely The Red Sox Bambino Curse and the Cubs Billy Goat Curse. We also discuss, in this strangely nostalgic episode all of the following plus more: Neil's Fun House Podcast, The self titled Toaster King, 80's TV stuff, Football rivalry, Kabaddi, the British Gladiators, Musical Theatre, Ethical Witches, Gold teeth currency/Street banking, Emotional support animals, sports films, Stallone and British Wrestling. So yeah, we don't know much about baseball.

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.
