  • Pyramid Lake: Water Babies and a Spiteful Mermaid

    Warning due to the general zeitgeist in the UK at the moment this episode is very rambling. The legend stuff starts about 30 mins in.


    This week we look at, in a round about way the legends surrounding both Water babies and a spiteful Mermaid at Pyramid Lake, Nevada. As well as that we talk about the following: Chris on being a trawlerman groupie, Neils life on mount Olympus, solid economic theory, how lakes work, Critical Mermaid Race Theory, the Sandman, the film 'Overboard', with its problematic story line and Neil making sexy overtures to both Kurt Russel and/or Goldie Hawn and the crux of the episode is forbidden love between a fisherman and ex-marine on a trip on the lake.


    Apologies we dont stick tight to the topic as normal but its just a bit of a 'mood' (as the yout say) on this scissored isle

  • Polybius
    This week we look at Idris Elbas favourite urban legend, Polybius, the mystical 1980's video game/py-opp. Was it real and used by our sponsors the CIA to gather some data (unspecified), was it a case of media scaremongering or is it some creepypasta from one website once? We delve into the legend so you dont have to. Also included, car bootsale (flea market) bullies, Neil being a low rate Tindr swindler, issues with housing stock and learning workings for mugs as a child.
