Urbane Legends episodes

  • Havana Syndrome
    Havana, big cigars, Rum, sexy dancing and secret weapons?! This week we look at the ongoing confusion around Havana Syndrome, a medical issue that has been reported by CIA staff (Chief Information Army) and their Canadian equivalent that affects the mind, ears and guts and probably more. And we here at Urbane Legends clear up the confusion, go point by point over the facts and science and finally reveal, indisputably, what it is. Neils also a prospect for a pack of wild dogs and other stuff.

  • Beast of Bladenboro
    This week is another 'Beast of....' episode in this surprisingly Beast based first half of the series, its the (possibly) vampiric beast of Bladenboro. Its original reign of terror was back in the 50's but it may have made a comeback in 2007, like the Pompadour hair cut. Its an animal of some kind, a bear cat, a hairy otter, a rabbit thats 8 foot long with massive fangs and a penchant for jazz, a 4 legged turkey with two robot arms that escapes on a longboard, no one really agrees on which of these not made up by me creatures it is. It's bad news for dogs and goats though and no mistakin' but good news for local festival organisers.

  • Project Serpo
    In this weeks episode we enter the world of Interplanetary Being Communications (IBC) and look at the possible US black budget secret project, names Serpo. Tying in with Roswell and other stuff was there an exchange with some friendly grey lads? And did some Hu-mans go to their planet on a sort of foreign exchange programme? Does an Alien die willingly to consummate its love with a scientist? And what is the Alien home world like? All this will be answered in the next hour or so. Plus Chris finally shows some contrition to the listeners and does a song about some people in his beloved home city and Neil talks about his fun birthday.

  • MoMo - The Missouri Monster
    Well ladies and gentlemen we may have found the most boring monster ever, MoMo. There is little to redeem the subject of this episode and perhaps the episode itself beyond being loyal or a complitionist. Chris gets fooled into reading an article which is meant to be about the creature but seems to be a voice to text recording of someone who has sniffed too many solvents and the guys get increasingly irate. Though from the ashes of story and possibly the final nail in the coffin of the podcast maybe there are shoots of a new film franchise ?

  • Popobawa
    Zanzibar, Tanzania. There has just been an election and the incumbent is refusing to leave. Tensions are high in the towns and cities, the military are on the street to keep order but you dont know who they side with. You watch the news on your TV, riots in the capital and the ex-President is saying the elections are to be nullified. The rightful winner of the vote is being pleaded with to leave the country for their own safety but they are refusing. The member of the ANC speak out and people start crossing the border into Mozambique. You turn the TV off and lay on your bed, it feels like the only place thats safe. You drift off eventually, only to be awakened by an acrid smell and in the corner of your eye you see smoke and think to yourself "Could this night BE any worse"....its Popbawa time. Yes its a night assaulter who comes around in times of upheaval, or perhaps a beard for talking about things that the ultra conservative society disapprove of. Either way it has a 6 foot penis.

  • Soviet Monkey Business
    Hot off the press, better late than never, here is this weeks episode. After Putins interview with haunted Frankfurter Tuckler Karlsson we look at a time when a country really did try and use genetics to create a super soldier, yep it was the artist formally known as the soviet union. Lots of other stuff, i'll be honest i haven't gathered my thoughts as im getting this out fast. Enjoy!

  • Teresita Basa - Ghost Witness

    Can you be a snitch if you are snitching on the person who had murdered you from beyond the grave? I know what the streets would say, unequivocally yes. But is it wrong to snitch on someone who murdered you? The street, again, would say yes. But that's what Terresita Basa did to solve her own cold case murder presumably knowing what it would do to her street cred. Yes via the gift of 'Ghost Trance Initiation' (GTI tm*) she pointed the finger and the case was solved. Or was it? And why are the Chicago police in the late 70's giving up on murder cases after a month of not looking very hard? Terresita was from the Philippines. Not saying thats related, it was just some other information and the sentence structure may have looked like im implying it. There is a possible twist to the story so its not as cut and dry as it seems. We also discuss a Tatler article about the smell of haircuts, a folk song about Neil and meet head on the ongoing controversy about the prevalence in podcasting in the use of Snus to improve performance.

  • Beast of Lytham
    Today we look at a BEAST that TERRORISED the well to do people of Lytham for a period of time. What's a Lytham I hear you cry? Well its a town on the southern outskirts of the UK's answer to Las Vegas, Blackpool. Its very posh in comparison. For example instead of a finding a group of older gentlemen on a stag do for Geoff's third marriage throwing up on a donkey, you will find two golf courses. You get the vibe. Anyway an unknown creature was spotted by several locals, and the paparazzi were all over it, like the soulless scum they are. Probably trying to get an upskirt of the beast getting into a taxi or something. But no pictures were ever taken, or if they were the beasts publicity machine did a great job of scrubbing them from the internet. I believe that's the story, you'll have to listen to confirm this.

  • The Disappearance of Michael Rockerfeller
    This week on the 8th best Urban Legends podcast on the internet as judged by the panel at Feedspot Podcasts (https:podcasts.feedspot.com/urban_legends_podcasts/) which isn't bad for a Podcast which is only vaguely about that; is the intriguing disappearance of super rich scion of the Rockerfeller family Michael in what is now part of Indonesia but back then called 'Dutch New Guinea'. I'm getting red flags already. Listen with your mind and ears as Chris shows himself to be a pathetic, bitter, baby as he rails against the wealthy who, deep down, he knows are his betters and that the gathering of wealth is a moral virtue. Take the information in using your neurons and memories as Neil sycophantically and calculatingly defends the Rockerfellers to try and get an in with them because he has excepted they are his betters and that the gathering of wealth is a moral virtue. Look the kids gone dark and has never been found but which of the three very plausible theories of what happened do you think is true? Chris and Neil come to different conclusions but have decided to stay together for the sake of the kids. Au Revoir!
