  • Loremen S6Ep24 - The Figure on the Stairs
    Jul 10 2025
    Welcome to Sydenham, but be warned — this ain't your grandma's Sydenham. It's more likely to be your great-great grandma's Sydenham. James takes Alasdair to a tumbledown cottage on a moonlit night, where an unwary rambler had a terrific fright. At least, according to the ghosthunter Elliot O'Donnell. From dreamland visions to the horrors of the London rental market, this episode should give you a shiver, even in the midst of a heatwave.

  • Loremen S6Ep23 - Stone Watch 2025
    Jul 3 2025
    James takes Alasdair on a whistle-stop tour of Britain's mobile stones, as catalogued in Janet and Colin Bord's The Secret Country. These standing stones were made for walking, and that's just what they'll do. Except when they're spinning around on the spot. Or not moving at all. Plus, we answer the questions no other podcast would dare ask: Do stones grow? (No) Should you go in a Piper's Hole? (No) Do stones respect / understand Daylight Savings? (We don't know) Catch James on the Stone Watch 2025 livestream on ⁠YouTube⁠. Check out the Quantum Mechanics Podcast's episode on Stone Watch 2025. Join...

  • Loremen S6Ep22 - The Ghosts of 50 Berkeley Square, London
    Jun 26 2025
    In the midst of a heatwave, James brings the temperature down with the chilling tale of a ghost named Bloody Bones. The loreboys visit the most notorious haunted house in London. It's the Victorian equivalent of the Cat Bin Lady (but with ghosts in a house rather than a cat in a... well, you know). Prepare yourself for tales of hubris and horror, plus a typewritten message from the beyond! Join... Us... at The Oxford Comedy Festival on the 10th July 2025 (2025).
