Join the Loremen (James Shakeshaft and Alasdair Beckett-King) as they "investigate" local legends and forgotten folklore.

Episódios

  • S3 Ep43: Loremen S3 Ep43 - The Green Children of Woolpit

    22/10/2020 Duração: 38min

    Alasdair takes us on a journey to the Otherworld. The tale begins at the Peak District's rudest tourist attraction, stops off at Yorkshire's sauciest Neolithic mound and then emerges from the "ancient cavities" of Suffolk. The Green Children of Woolpit raise more questions than they answer. Do aliens exist? Do fairies? What about Australians? What are they all about? Accent warning - the Loreblokes do a wide variety of Australian accents in this episode. Often within the same sentence.     Loreboys nether say die! ko-fi.com/loremen @loremenpod www.twitch.tv/loremenpod www.instagram.com/loremenpod www.facebook.com/loremenpod @JamesShakeshaft | @MisterABK Learn more about your ad choices.

  • S3 Ep42: Loremen S3 Ep42 - Dana Alexander - Luna the Orca

    15/10/2020 Duração: 30min

    Comedian and genuine Canadian Dana Alexander takes us 'neath the waves of the legendary Pacific Northwest (or Pacific Southwest from Canada's point of view). The Nootka Sound was once home to an orphaned Killer Whale called Luna who just wanted attention from sailors. Hey, we've all been there. This episode also features some dodgy Canadian accent work from James and Alasdair, you betcha.   Loreboys nether say die! ko-fi.com/loremen @loremenpod www.twitch.tv/loremenpod www.instagram.com/loremenpod www.facebook.com/loremenpod @JamesShakeshaft | @MisterABK | @ComedianDana Learn more about your ad choices.

  • S3 Ep41: Loremen S3 Ep41 - The Boscombe Whale

    08/10/2020 Duração: 33min

    We figured that every man and his podcast would be doing a spooky special in honour of Halloween month, so we've gone entirely ghost-free. James tells the tale of a kooky doctor trying to dispose of a dead body. The twist? It's a whale's body. The other twist? He's really bad at it. (Feat. Gary Barlow)   Loreboys nether say die! ko-fi.com/loremen @loremenpod www.twitch.tv/loremenpod www.instagram.com/loremenpod www.facebook.com/loremenpod @JamesShakeshaft | @MisterABK Learn more about your ad choices.

  • S3 Ep40: Loremen S3 Ep40 - Chillingham Castle

    01/10/2020 Duração: 42min

    Alasdair wows James with England's self-proclaimed "most haunted castle." That description is technically accurate, in that it is a castle that's been on the TV show "Most Haunted".    Alasdair tells a tale of skeletons, charlatans and circus clowns, and James nearly derails the episode with an anecdote about crisps. Crisps... and lies.   Loreboys nether say die! ko-fi.com/loremen @loremenpod www.twitch.tv/loremenpod www.instagram.com/loremenpod www.facebook.com/loremenpod @JamesShakeshaft | @MisterABK Learn more about your ad choices.

  • S3 Ep39: Loremen S3 Ep39 - The Midnight Library - The Great Lakes Monsters

    24/09/2020 Duração: 30min

    The Loremen travel through time and space (which is literally the only way to travel) to visit the dark and delightful Midnight Library Podcast. Yes, this is a crossover episode! We meet the mysterious Miranda Merrick, who regales us with tales of the Great Lake Monsters. Are the monsters great? Or the lakes? The answer is yes. This time, your humble Loreboys are more than out of their depth. Pull on a slanket and join us.

  • S3 Ep38: Loremen S3 Ep38 - Rosie Holt - The Witch of Wookey Hole

    17/09/2020 Duração: 36min

    We've all heard of Wookey Hole, haven't we? HAVEN'T WE? Oh, we haven't? Huh. Then let Deputy Loreperson Rosie Holt introduce you to Somerset's 2nd best subterranean tourist attraction. James chips in with a bunch of West Country witch tales that all have something familiar about them. (That's a pun.) Plus a timeless lesson on the dangers of pig sarcasm, and a hot tip for getting rid of unwanted toads.    Loreboys nether say die! ko-fi.com/loremen @loremenpod www.twitch.tv/loremenpod www.instagram.com/loremenpod www.facebook.com/loremenpod @JamesShakeshaft | @MisterABK | @RosieisaHolt Learn more about your ad choices.

  • S3 Ep37: Loremen S3 Ep37 - Yuriko Kotani - The Kappa

    10/09/2020 Duração: 33min

    Yuriko Kontani joins the Loreboys to talk about the Kappa - a quirky Japanese river-monster with some nasty appetites. Webbed hands and a bowl on its head are the least of your worries.In spite of our best efforts, this episode contains much talk of bottoms, bumholes and farts. So if you're listening with kids, be warned that they're going to love it.

  • S3 Ep36: Loremen S3 Ep36 - Eleanor Morton - Major Weir, Edinburgh

    03/09/2020 Duração: 36min

    Edinburgh's roll-call of villains is long, crooked and rotten. Like the worst banana. And Major Weir is one of the nastiest. Thomas Weir aka "Angelic Thomas" did not live up to that nickname, as you will soon discover. Eleanor Morton, Edinburgh native, comedian and mystery enthusiast, joined the Loremen livestream to get to the bottom of this devil of a fellow. Stay tuned after the credits to hear a horror story from James's real life. It is in the top three most disgusting stories he's told on the pod.

  • S3 Ep35: Loremen S3 Ep35 - Sunil Patel - The Garrick's Head, Bath

    27/08/2020 Duração: 40min

    The Garrick's Head pub is home to many Bath-based legends, so we called up our Bath area Deputy Loreperson - Sunil Patel (BBC Asian Network). The Loreboys cover a fair amount of genuine history in this one, from pneumatic wigs to the MC of Bath's extravagant balls. And before you ask - YES! We do describe several 1970s photos of 1970s men pointing towards places ghosts were once seen.

  • S3 Ep34: Loremen S3 Ep34 - The Legend of Hampden Pye

    20/08/2020 Duração: 31min

    Faringdon in Oxfordshire is a peculiar town. The folly comes with a health warning and the doves are painted neon colours. The most unsurprising thing about the place is that the graveyard has a ghost: the headless spectre of poor Hampden Pye. James spills the beans on how Hampden lost his head, when all about were keeping theirs. Also, it was very, very hot when we recorded and we are very, very English. So we moan about it. A lot. (Contains mild references to violence and suicide.)

  • S3 Ep33: Loremen S3 Ep33 - The Chanctonbury Ring

    13/08/2020 Duração: 36min

    This tale has it all; Romans, bikers, buried treasure, UFOs, the devil, a woman, trees. You name it! If anything, Chanctonbury Ring in the South Downs has too much folklore. This ep also features two of Alasdair's 'best' voices and will leave you questioning whether James understands how hills work...

  • S3 Ep32: Loremen S3 Ep32 - The Ghosts of Clopton House

    06/08/2020 Duração: 32min

    It's only the most haunted house in the bloomin' Midlands!  James tells us about Stratford-upon-Avon's star-crossed Clopton Family, who met some truly tragic fates - in one case a LITERALLY sticky end. But their untimely deaths may have inspired Shakespeare and Edgar Allen Poe. So that's... good? Maybe? We also reveal which historic building Alasdair has been kicked out of and (as a post-credits bonus) James has prepared some Shakespeare puns. Niche? Us? Yes, very!

  • S3 Ep31: Loremen S3 Ep31 - The Magic Ointment of Netherwitton

    30/07/2020 Duração: 43min

    Ah, the fae folk, they seem so carefree and jolly. But theirs is a society full of arbitrary rules and harsh punishments even for the most unintentional infractions. Also they're very small and get upset when you look directly at them. Sounds like working with Tom Cruise. In this episode, Alasdair takes us into the realm of the faeries (Northumberland) as your bold Loremen face a second wave of Lockdown Fever... May Pob have mercy on our souls.

  • S3 Ep30: Loremen S3 Ep30 - Ross Brierley - The Plague Village of Eyam

    23/07/2020 Duração: 44min

    The award winning Ross Brierley (of The Not So Late Show) takes the Loremen on a (virtual) tour of the village of Eyam. Fans of nominative determinism will be both pleased and annoyed by this tale, like someone whose name was Jolly Upset. This Derbyshire tragedy features ghosts, noble sacrifices and 1 (one) magical pudding-boy. No explanation needed or given. (To the listeners writing in about our lax scoring: you win all right... or do you?) If you'd care to spare a sou or two...  ko-fi.com/loremen @loremenpod www.twitch.tv/loremenpod www.instagram.com/loremenpod www.facebook.com/loremenpod @JamesShakeshaft | @MisterABK Learn more about your ad choices.

  • S3 Ep29: Loremen S3 Ep29 - Rollright Stones LIVE

    16/07/2020 Duração: 42min

    The 50th episode sees the Lorefolks tackle the Rollright Stones in a special livestream edition!

You can also watch the full livestream here: www.loremenpodcast.com/episode-29-s3   Thanks to all our loyal listeners, here's to 50 more! (50 more episodes, not 50 more listeners. We'd settle for 25.) Bonus Content: James attempting to make a Serial-esque podcast phenomenon out of the Snuffling Beast of Lidstone. It lasts ten minutes, but bless 'im, he tried.

  • S3 Ep28: Loremen S3 Ep28 - The Three Ghosts

    09/07/2020 Duração: 35min

    Alasdair invites you into his 'psychomanteum' to hear a triptych of ghostly tales. You want a ghost to get bullied by schoolboys? You got it!  You want a ghost who steals hats? No problem!You want a ghost on skates chatting to a hip vicar? Weirdly specific. But yes, we have that too. Do we need to mention we've come up with a new detective series concept? Because we blooming well have. ko-fi.com/loremen @loremenpod www.twitch.tv/loremenpod www.instagram.com/loremenpod www.facebook.com/loremenpod @JamesShakeshaft | @MisterABK Learn more about your ad choices.

  • S3 Ep27: Loremen S3 Ep27 - Chipping Norton

    02/07/2020 Duração: 34min

    Ah, Chipping Norton! A town that sounds like a minced oath from the 19th century, like "Flaming Nora!" Or "Odds Bodkins!" Also the town that produced a podcast presenter utterly determined to get to the bottom of local legends, obscure curiosities and whatnot. (It's James. We're talking about James.) Please enjoy this love letter to the market town of "Chippy" that could have been James' debut Edinburgh Festival Fringe show if circumstances were different.* *Audience's expectations were much lower.

  • S3 Ep26: Loremen S3 Ep26 - Yorkshire's Atlantis

    25/06/2020 Duração: 31min

    "Get in the sea" has been in common parlance since 2015 but it is by no means a modern concept. Towns, cities and fabled islands have been doing just that for thousands of years. Alasdair takes us on a deep dive (PUN) into Yorkshire's own submerged towns, one of which was populated exclusively by pirates. Well, they must have had non-pirates to do the normal stuff like take the bins out, but you get the idea. Pop a couple o coffers here would ya guv?

    Joined by Rachel Fairburn (off of the All Killa No Filla podcast), the Loremen return to the Wild West Country for a poke around a magical and mysterious area known as 'The Gump'.

Plu,s Alasdair remembers an encounter with the ghost of Yorkshire's Gary Coleman.  Wap us a few pennies here would you guv??

  • S3 Ep24: Loremen S3 Ep24 - The Vegetable Lamb of Tartary

    11/06/2020 Duração: 36min

    James Shakeshaft plays against type by offering up a story that's very nearly historically accurate. The legend of the Vegetable Lamb of Tartary or 'Barometz' seemed so plausible. It was a grazing lamb that grew on a bush; it seemed like it HAD to be real. The stories were so convincing a series of extraordinarily named men launched expeditions to find it. They didn't find it. It's not a real thing. Come one, a vegetable lamb? What next, strawberry crackling? Beef tomatoes? BLOOD ORANGES?!
