Urbane Legends

This week Neil and Chris debate the merits of rhurbard, cave systems, explore a terrifying gap in Neil's film knowledge and their aspirations for the podcast. Oh and the point of the episode they discuss the suprising adventures of the dipsomaniac diary farmer Mr Bosak and his run in with an alien/interdimensional cow man hybrid. Additional questions:Do they get genuine victorian pea sou...

This week we go hunting for treasure from Captain Kid (or) the Knights Templar (or) Vikings (or) Jesus on Oak Island, New Scotland. Yes a mystery so solid there are 13 series about the hunt on the History Channel. What have they found? Whats the scoop? Whats my vig? All great questions. Neil discovers that History Channel-stan, from his drinking days, Chris has a degree level knowledge on the topi...

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. And there have been loads of sightings over the last 100 years! See what you think....could it be true? Also,...

To celebrate the current Olympics in Paris I am listening to B.Y.S. by Gang Starr. Some people however chose different ways to celebrate and to those people we have made an Olympic Special. Yes in this episode we look at EIGHT smaller legends from the city of lights, the Tromso of the south. Sexy suicide, witch fountains and haunted shows, yes Paris has it all for the discerning person, which you...

Yes a new 'series' is 'pont us. This week we ease our rusty arses in with the story of the Flatwoods Monster. Many witnesses, its very early possible alien and it has the kind of look that wouldn't have been out of place in the brass section of Parliament (the band). Also, Chris shows off his street cred receipts by performing a self composed rap and claims to have a backing group, Neil talks abou...

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. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Here is a between series retrospective on two episodes from Series two, waaay back in 1986, its a cryptid and a vampire. Cant say fairer than that Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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. We cant really figure out why it is so well known but the local town has made the most of it and we at Urbane Legends salute that every time. 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 find out that the BBC prefers to to talk to a woodsman than explain what their article is even about, get caught again by...

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. This week we look at the biggest thing to come out of Wisconsin since Opra Winfrey the Hodag. Its over 125 years old and is a true story of the pioneer spirit, strip logging and one mans business acumen. Also Chris discusses a new career in espionage, Neil finds out wh...

This week we delve into the area of computers known mysteriously as the 'Dark Webs', well we dont obviously but someone might of, to the legendry game called 'Sad Satan'. Now you may think by the title that Satan or Ol' Nick as I know him, would feature heavily or have some kind of basic involvement. Well you may well be wrong there as we're we but two worse character turn up at some point. It's a...

Yes indeed! It's our annual look at a haunted doll. With each year the story gets thinner BUT this one was taken to psychics for analysis so the science is there. It's Australia's next Hollywood star and is sure to eclipse Scarlett Johanson, Russel Crow and Jim Crocodile 'Dundee' (not many people know his name was Jim Crocodile, the 'Dundee' part was the nickname due to his love of the Scottish fo...

This week the podcast and the people who speak on it look at the strange world of the Skinwalkers. They are an ancient and malevolent creature, are they still man or are they now beast? Or, like most of us, a little of both. They have been connected with all kinds of other paranormal activity and became a weird trend on Tictok during the pandemic when we were all 100% in our strongest mental place...

This week we take a poke around the Vatican to see whats all this we hear about super science, uber tech and digital occultism. Some Priest made some pretty big claims and said he and some famous/infamous scientists got their heads together to create something amazing. You will notice I am dancing what this particular thing is, I read in a 'guide to good sex' from 1972 that it often best to keep s...

This week on Urgent Lemons, the podcast that may be sceptical but is never cynical, we meet Don Decker in genuinely the most intriguing case of possible possession that we have come across. He gains some strange but ultimately harmless powers, like a weak X Man (discussed) but the really interesting thing is the sheer amount of witnesses who gave statements. It was a lot of fun to do and Neil real...

This week we take a mental trip back our ancestral homeland the Island called Ireland to check out the 'King of the Otters' or 'King of the Lakes' Dobhar-Chu (pronounced Doo-war Coo to the uninitiated, obviously Neils and Chris both speak and read fluent Gallic). Its a mixed up cryptid, sometimes known as Ireland answer to a Crocodile and there have been sightings from the 17th Century to the 2000...

Havana, big cigars, Rum, sexy dancing and secret weapons?! This week we look at the ongoing confusion around Havana Syndrome, a medical issue that has been reported by CIA staff (Chief Information Army) and their Canadian equivalent that affects the mind, ears and guts and probably more. And we here at Urbane Legends clear up the confusion, go point by point over the facts and science and finally...

This week is another 'Beast of....' episode in this surprisingly Beast based first half of the series, its the (possibly) vampiric beast of Bladenboro. Its original reign of terror was back in the 50's but it may have made a comeback in 2007, like the Pompadour hair cut. Its an animal of some kind, a bear cat, a hairy otter, a rabbit thats 8 foot long with massive fangs and a penchant for jazz, a...

In this weeks episode we enter the world of Interplanetary Being Communications (IBC) and look at the possible US black budget secret project, names Serpo. Tying in with Roswell and other stuff was there an exchange with some friendly grey lads? And did some Hu-mans go to their planet on a sort of foreign exchange programme? Does an Alien die willingly to consummate its love with a scientist? And...

Well ladies and gentlemen we may have found the most boring monster ever, MoMo. There is little to redeem the subject of this episode and perhaps the episode itself beyond being loyal or a complitionist. Chris gets fooled into reading an article which is meant to be about the creature but seems to be a voice to text recording of someone who has sniffed too many solvents and the guys get increasing...
