Here we are with the third and final part of the Bachelors grove universe. In the style of the Godfather movies, the third episode is long and also in the style of Game of Thrones lacks a satisfactory conclusion. So everyone, one last push, a double shift and then its holiday time for everyone and the barn will be built. I feel this strengthens us as a community Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/priv...

This week we head into the sweaty heart of the collection of plans and animals colourfully nick named the Amazon. There's some moody fella hanging about in the trees, he stinks, sees in the dark, has a mouth where there probably shouldn't be one and is a cyclopes. And this is a true story.

Yes a new 'series' is 'pont us. This week we ease our rusty arses in with the story of the Flatwoods Monster.

In this final loosely termed 'Classic' episode we fond out about the sexual activities of Mr Peanut. The rest is just filler. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Is this episodes title I have used 'vs' instead of 'and' to make you think of the remix of 'Its like that (and thats the way it is)', Run DMC vs Jason Nevens (or something). The reason I did this is to get the image of battle breakdancing in your head, in preparation for the mental gymnastics required to get through this ultra long episode which does a whiplash change from corporate shenanigans to...

In this weeks look back to Series 2 (c.1994) we look at a story you may have heard as a child. But is there anything even more pleasurable than a random hand lick? Not for me but some would say a ghost acting as a witness at their own trial would be up there. To those sexless weirdos i say fine have both Hosted on Acast.

For the final episode of this series we cautiously unbutton the oil covered dungarees of the Mothman. Do we like what we see or was this all a big mistake? Well listen to find out.

Also there is some AI positive chat, a payoff for a running joke no one finds...

Well this week we come on to a subject that the Chris seemed to be very excited about, even suggesting it could be a two parter! Did it happen? Well the eagle eyed of you will see this is part one of one, its the Rendlesham Forrest UFO Incident, a very over hyped encounter.

We asked a survey of 100 people what subject would they like to hear a podcast episode on urban legends about. The top answer was....Japanese toilet ghosts! We then asked for the 100 people to be replaced but by then, as they say, the die was cast. Yes this week we pop on over to Japan to look at a ghostly legend of the porcelain kind. Not porcine, thats different, try series one episode two 'Pigm...

On this weeks thrilling instalment of Tintin we head back to the days of Disco in Dover Massachusetts, the most complicated to spell State, where several witnesses in short order all saw the same strange creature lurking about. Two drew it independently and the pictures matched. What was it? We dont know. Was it scary? Not really. Has it been seen since? Nope. So, you may ask, how do you get an ho...

On this historical British day for Britain, recorded mere minuets after an election has been called for the 4th July (thats right US listeners, we have 6 weeks build up, must sound like a dream to you) we discuss both the political news as you demand from us as the internets most hot takey political podcast AND the vehemently non-political Redcaps (thought maybe a bit) a terrifying Goblin from the...

A lot of people say 'better late than never' but im not hear to tell you how to think, so simply here is the episode and its late.
