    S5 Ep39: Loremen S5Ep39 - The Many Ghosts of Sandford Orcas
    Jul 4 2024
    James lures Alasdair to a bad mannered manor house in Dorset*. We're in Sandford Orcas - which is a village, not pod of Free Willies - and the place is simply brimming with ghosts!

    From Ghosts in the South West by James Turner, Shakey tells a tale of troublesome monks, lunar assassins and one very macabre way of not getting blamed for farts. And you'll be pleased to know that this spooky/farty manor is currently on sale for less than five million quid - so get your offers in now!

    S5 Ep38: Loremen S5Ep38 - Bedtime Stories at the Midnight Library
    Jun 27 2024
    The Loremen have been transported back to the Midnight Library, and Miranda has a selection of bonecurdling bedtime stories to horrify and delight you. These are original tales from the shelves of the Midnight Library, and they get rather grisly. Younger listeners and the timid-of-ear be warned!

    S5 Ep37: Loremen S5Ep37 - The High Peak Beast
    Jun 20 2024
    If you manage to guess the nature of this episode's cryptid then please write in and claim your prize!

    Inspired by Steve Cliffe's Moor Mysteries, James and Alasdair return to Derbyshire's Peak District. The Loremen are on the hunt for stones adorned with strange carvings. We're on the hunt for the truth about Parma Violets. And we are on the hunt for the most surprising beast in the podcast's history.

    You are going to be stunned. Don't look at the episode graphic.

    S5 Ep36: Loremen S5Ep36 - The Old Man of Monterey Bay
    Jun 13 2024
    The Loremen return to the good old U S of America.

    Inspired by a gift from a listener, the boys head to Monterey Bay, CA, and tangle with a whole bunch of sea beasts. (Or should that be school? Pod? Flock? What is the collective noun for aquatic cryptids?) We meet the monkey-faced Old Man of Monterey (AKA Bobo) and some real-life red-haired sea serpents.

    So join us, under the sea! It's enchanting!*

    *Yes that is a veiled Back To The Future reference. Yes, James wrote this blurb.

  • S5 Ep33: Loremen S5Ep33 - Bamburgh Castle and The Laidly Worm

    S5 Ep33: Loremen S5Ep33 - Bamburgh Castle and The Laidly Worm
    May 23 2024
    Welcome to Bamburgh Castle! Make yourself at home, especially if you're name's Lancelot du Lac. Don't mind the enormous venom-spitting toad. There's a funny story behind that, actually. It's the Laidly Worm of Spindleston Heugh...

    The boys visit Bamburgh, possibly England's most dramatic castle, rising up from the waves on a volcanic dolerite outcrop. And the legends surrounding the ancient Northumbrian settlement are no less dramatic. We're talking phoney ballads, wicked stepmothers, loathsome dragons and the mountain bard Drunken Frasier. Sorry, Duncan Frasier.

    Plus, a cameo from legendary northern car dealership, Reg Vardy.

    S5 Ep32: Loremen S5Ep32 - Cheddar Gorge with Richard Herring
    May 16 2024
    Richard Herring, a comedian who straddles England's North/South divide like a podcasting colossus, joins the boys for a deep dive into one of Somerset's deepest dives.

    It's Cheddar Gorge! Somerset's answer to the question, "Which Somerset attraction is almost as good as Wookey Hole?" Prepare to meet the Witches of Pocklington, the Devil (himself), grumpy gravediggers and what might be the birth of a new cryptid...

    You can catch Richard on his Can I Have My Ball Back? UK Tour. And please give generously to his Movember fundraiser: www.justgiving.com/page/ballback
