After all the excitement of Halloween this Thursday here is a nice relaxing pod about a Witch (woman) who wasn't burned at the steak and her witching was pretty tame by anyone's standards, though she could certainly make your bakery slightly less well regarded. Hear the pure terror in the hosts voices as they also discuss the desperate preparations they are making in the final hours before Storm Ciaran sweeps in and changes life in the UK forever. For the worst...probably. Could be better i guess,

Urbane Legends ·

2023/10/26

Booty, Avast Behind, Hot Cannon. These are all pirate terms which are used in an infantile manner in this weeks pirate based episode.

Utsuro Bune

Urbane Legends ·

2023/10/04

This week we look at a Japanese mystery from 1804 (i think) about a strange craft that washed ashore with a lady (or alien) inside, the Utsuro Bune. Similar craft appear all through the centuries but this one was well documented. Kick it back in the sea? Maybe. Over confident theories by the towns mouthy old man? For sure. Also Chris retracts a statement under threat of something and tries some fresh new chat up lines for the 21st century on Neil and we laugh at the government yet again. Hosted on

Handsome Elevator Man - Korea

Urbane Legends ·

2023/09/14

We've all been there, someone who is very attractive and knows it uses it to manipulate us into committing crimes we wouldn't think of doing normally, fraud, patricide, racketeering and treason are just a few to come to mind when I look back at my own life. But this legend is a twist on this universal truth, what if the beautiful person had more sinister motives than this and you had a lot more than a custodial sentence to worry about? This is a classic UB (urban legend) from South Korea. Also

Preta

Urbane Legends ·

2023/08/31

This week we travel in our minds and hearts to Thailand to look at the Preta, a hungry ghost. More scatological than the hungry caterpillar the myth of this ghost proves that Buddhism isn't all warrior monks and emptying your mind. So if you are a jealous guy (listen to the song 'Jealous Guy' by Mase and P Diddy on the excellent album 'Harlem World' c.1997 to check) you might want to change your ways because its no picnic....well its a sort of horrible picnic i guess. Also discussed, Chris had a

Black Stick Men

Urbane Legends ·

2023/08/03

This week we look at a new-ish one the 'Black Stick Men Phenomenon' people all over the world (but mainly the UK and US as always, what is it with us?) seeing living stick men, that are a bit electrical. They seem to be interdimensional, so its a mind bender. Right, try this, imagine what it would be like for you if you were able to perceive and travel through the 5th dimension. Hard isn't it. I can't to be honest, I find the 3rd dimension hard enough. Also we chat about being in Greece and the much

La Mala Hora

Urbane Legends ·

2023/07/27

The witching hour, when you wake up in the middle of the night. Is it because the industrial revolution forced us to sleep in patterns that are conflict of millions of years of evolution? Or is it because of a Mexican witch demon? We simply dont know either way so pick your poison. Sometimes a beautiful lady in white who kills you in an ok-ish way, some times a hag in black who kills you in a not ok-ish way, sometimes a floating blob of blackness, this lady has it all. Also this week Neil talks

Charlie No Face

Urbane Legends ·

2023/07/20

This week we go against type and look into the pretty uplifting story of Charlie No Face. A real life legend not only because of the crazy stories told about him by bored teenagers but a legend because of what kind of person he was. An inspirational figure we can all learn from.

A Tale of Two Gimps

Urbane Legends ·

2023/07/13

As we all know Gimp politics in the UK can be a complicated issue to try and unravel but who better to try than us. This week we look at two Gimps with very different approaches to their lifestyle choice. Is it ever a good idea to try and scare two teenage boys who have been drinking strong strong cider? What should be considered threatening behaviour by law, Chris for sure had strong views. And Neils off on his holidays, having made a typically odd choice. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for

Manananggal

Urbane Legends ·

2023/07/06

This week the Ladz (40 and 45 respectively) are back on familiar ground with a look at the Philippines greatest hero the Manananggal. There are still sighting to this day and its been around since time immemorial so it has staying power thats for sure, perhaps due to the variety of victims it will go for, or the black chicken that lives inside it. Also some stuff about Neil going to the laundry to keep it real. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Moon Landing Conspiracy

Urbane Legends ·

2023/06/29

Series 5 and the soy boyz are back in the saddle. This rocking week they take a knarley look at one everyone has heard of: The Fake Moon Landing. What has the film the Shining got to do with it, did they give it away after a night on the Vegas slots? Was the set dressing taken from Colombo? And some good old fashioned coconut handling advice from a man who makes it his business to know. Slightly shorter than normal, sorry, just getting into the swing. Hosted on Acast.
