Welcome to our annual Witches' Night episode!  Last time was on Toad Cults, but this year we went all out on the actual sabbat itself!  Come and listen to us as we get into witches!  After all, tonight is the night!  Along with Halloween, one of the two spookiest and most liminal nights of the year! Next week's episode is about... Part 1 of the Led Zeppelin 4th album series. Get in touch with us a...

Welcome back to the Manor!  Have you ever wanted to do a Shire pub crawl?  We give you ideas on how to do so!  We talk hobbits and the Shire, specifically what beers we think they'd serve at the various pubs/inns/places/things across the hobbits' homeland, as well as a few places outside their borders.  Of course there's also Shire history and culture, as well, and the hint on how to do your own p...

Welcome to the Manor and welcome to the Muppet Show!  At least welcome to a show about the Muppets.  The Muppets, their guests, their shows, their movies... we hit them all!  So now it's... time to play the music!

Deja vu! More cooking with beer!  Once again, we get into flavor profiles of the malts/grains, hops, and yeast that match up with various foods.  This is a two part episode and in this second part (if you haven't listened to part 1, you should, it's good) we discuss chicken, beef, seafood, sausages, desert, and even slightly touch on coffee (although that's more whiskey related again). So grab you...

Welcome back to the Manor!  Have you ever wondered what the differences is between Lucifer and Satan and the Devil?  More importantly, which one talks to us through the Ouija Board?  Well, we really get into the first bit... not so much the second, but it's still worth it.  A Manor 150th episode spectacular, with the dude who gave us the best genres of music!   Next week's episode is about Cooking...

Welcome back to the Manor!  We're finally making it back to our episodes on the crossroads.  After over a year hiatus from this, we're presenting crossroads folklore from South America, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.  This will lead us into our episodes on selling your soul at the crossroads, the Blues, and Robert Johnson. Enjoy! Next week's episode is about... The Devil!  Get in touch with us...

Welcome to the third of our cryptid episodes!  This time we discuss that hairy loveable ape-man, Bigfoot.  At least we get into the name, Native American background, the yeti-sasquatch-bigfoot connection, Trickster gods, environment, and bits with Tolkien and Pratchett. Next week's episode is the second of our Crossroads episodes (we know, it's about time). Get in touch with us at Podbean:  https:...

More cooking with beer!  Except this time we're actually talking about cooking with beer instead of whiskey.  Imagine that.  We get into flavor profiles of the malts/grains, hops, and yeast that match up with various foods.  This is a two part episode and in this first part, we give a bit of background and discuss bread, pork, and chili. So grab your pint and spatula (or big wooden spoon, which ou...

Welcome back to the Manor as we finish up our episodes on that most awesome of British comedy troupes, Monty Python and their first series.  Afterwards, we're going to play "how to stay hidden in the pub." Next week's episode is about... honestly, we don't know as we schedule this.  Now that we've finished our holidays (this is being posted Christmas Eve 2020), we're scheduling all of our back-log...

Welcome back to the Manor!  Today we're wrapping up our arc on Led Zeppelin's III album, discussing the actual songs themselves.  It was a fun ride, working on this for its 50th anniversary! Next week's episode is on Monty Python as we wrap up our episodes on their first series.

Pour a pint and celebrate with us!  We're finally broadcasting the 4th of 4 in our "favorite beers" arc.  This has been gathering dust back in the nooks and crannies of the Manor, scurrying around, hiding and jumping out, and here it is.  Recorded over two years ago, when we had just started, we've finally decided its time to put it out for all of you.  Enjoy! Next week's episode is on Led Zeppeli...

Welcome back to the Manor!  Today we finish our discussion on non-metal bands/music that we like.  The list isn't exhaustive, so it's always possible we'll come back to this.  But for now?  Well, just enjoy.  Next week's episode is FINALLY the last of our four installments on "favorite beers," which we recorded over two years ago and have broadcast over that time.  Pour a pint of your own favorite...

Welcome to the Terrors' first live show!  It wasn't great and now we're 0 for 2 on making a really good quality Burns Night episode, but at least we show our love.   We'll get better on these.  Hopefully. Enjoy what we've done for Burns Night 2021 and enjoy a few of Robert Burns' poems, as read by the Terrors!

Welcome back to the Manor and welcome back to more Monty Python episodes!  We continue our discussion of the group's first series!  If you haven't listened to the first two, you really should.  They're good.  But for now, pour a pint of bitter or make yourself a G&T and enjoy! Next week's episode is about the non-metal bands we like (finishing that two-parter). Get in touch with us at Podbean:  ht...

Welcome back to the Manor!  Pour yourself a pint of the black stuff (Fear of the Dark, Guinness, etc.) or whatever your tastes buds are fancying.  Today we're talking about Iron Maiden's Fear of the Dark. The new beer from Robinson's was just released, so as usual, we talk about the bear and the song and album from which its named!  Cheers! Next week's episode is a continuation of our Monty Python...

Welcome back to the Manor!  Ha!  We fooled you!  You thought this episode would be something completely different based on what we wrote in the notes in the previous episode!  Little did you know that we'd record a couple of other episodes and slide them on in there!  To be fair, we didn't know at the time, either. So! Jody picks his top five metal albums of 2020 and goes into a bit of detail on w...

Welcome to the Manor and welcome back to our regular episodes, now that the holidays are over.  Here we continue our Led Zeppelin LZIII era episodes.   We get into the mixing of the album and the touring!  Welcome to more Zep and welcome to 2021!

Welcome to the Manor!  Enjoy some smoking bishop... unless that brings back horrible memories of Catholic school (James still has a twitch) and enjoy the topic we always discuss during the last episode of the year.  What is it? Well, you could look back at the previous two years, but it would just be easier to listen to this one.  Wassail! Next week's episode is about Led Zeppelin's third album (p...

Welcome to Yule season at the Manor!  Take a seat by the fire and have a mazer of something warming.  Today we're discussing "The Glamour of the Snow," a fantastic short story by Algernon Blackwood that is about the lure of the wilderness.  We like the snowy wilderness, too. Next week's episode continues are annual tradition of Ghost Stories for Christmas, as well as hygge and coorie. Get in touch...

It's memorial time at the Manor.  The lights are dimmed and the mirrors are covered.  Join us in a pint as we tell stories of David Prowse, Lord Vader himself, who passed away November 28th this year (2020).      This week's episode will still be on "The Glamour of the Snow," but we wanted to get this out for Sir David.   Get in touch with us at Podbean:  https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-4pk...
