S3 Ep92: Loremen S3 Ep92 - The Midnight Library - Marsden Grotto
27/12/2021 Duração: 31minIt's a festive crossover! Alasdair and James have been spirited away by the Midnight Library’s Miranda Merrick. Where better to spend the festive interregnum twixt Christmas and New Year than nipping down the pub for a cheeky ale and a packet of beef clippings? Who cares if the pub in question is Miranda’s creepy local, The Broom and Fang? This time, the boys have to sing for their supper, with dynamite tales of smuggling, treachery and… revenge. Marsden Grotto in South Shields, a drinking establishment located in a hollowed-out cliff, is a cave-based boozer. A speleological hostelry. The ultimate hole-in-the-wall. And, yes, it’s haunted.

Marek, comedian (We Are Klang) and card game inventor (Pooman), dons the mantle of Deputy Loreperson and relates one of the strangest tales the Loreboys have ever heard.

S3 Ep89: Loremen S3 Ep89 - The Wittenham Clumps
02/12/2021 Duração: 35minBig clumps ahoy! The Loremen encounter two large hills, each with beech trees atop. They're easily the top beech-tree-topped hills covered by this podcast since Chanctonbury Ring. The clumps are steeped in history, drenched in sauce and, sadly for James, riddled with poetry. And, yes. Don't worry, we talk about that Beatles documentary that everyone is talking about at the moment. Loreboys nether say die!

S3 Ep88: Loremen S3 Ep88 - The Tale of Crazywell Pool
25/11/2021 Duração: 31minIn one corner of Dartmoor, things just ain’t right. Could it be James shouting into a different cupboard? Perhaps lockdown madness is returning? Or… is the the craziness of Crazywell Pool catching? Prepare yourself for lads on tor, a misleading witch and a bottomless pool that does not live up to its name. Learn why James will NEVER EVER buy a copy of the newspaper from the day his child was born. And take care… if this pond calls your name, you’re for it! Loreboys nether say die!

18/11/2021 Duração: 35minAlasdair and James return to the furthermost reaches of (what we jokingly call) the United Kingdom. It’s Shetland! This time we’ve found ourselves a local guide in the form of comedian, storyteller and improvisor – Marjolein Robertson.

S3 Ep83: Loremen S3 Ep83 - The Bleeding House
14/10/2021 Duração: 37minA quiet English home is disturbed by the sounds of piano music... but the Forster family do not own a piano. Pretty spooky, huh? So begins one of the most inexplicable hauntings the Loremen have ever encountered.

S3 Ep82: Loremen S3 Ep 82 - The Ghost and Mr Chicken
07/10/2021 Duração: 34minA dead husband returns with a dreadful warning... Yes, it's another spoopy episode! This tale of tragedy and terror comes from the North East of England. Whilst we think it might not be a real ghost (and we are certain it's not a real chicken) this investigation does afford a rare opportunity to meet Joseph Stalin at the seaside. And is only slightly undermined by the Loreboys laughing at the protagonist's name. Loreboys nether say die!

23/09/2021 Duração: 36minWhat is the Margate Shell Grotto? A Roman temple? A cubbyhole of the Knights Templar? The lair of a very odd Batman villain? Getting to the bottom of this subterranean head scratcher, the Loreboys meet the semi-aquatic Lord Rokeby and discover the tragic consequences of a rodent-bird love triangle.

02/09/2021 Duração: 38minFrom the depths of Wales's Brecon Beacons, at the Green Man Festival, two plucky Loreboys attempted a pod-first: recording a podcast in a tent. Sadly, it proved to be too rainy and of that recording, only fragments remain… Join Alasdair and James for exclusive access to the so-called 'Green Man Tapes,' as well as the 14th Century tale of a true-hearted knight, an un-jolly green giant and someone's hot wife.
