S5 Ep7: Loremen S5Ep7 - Halloween Live: Hereward the Wake

As part of the Cheerful Earful Podcast Festival, James and Alasdair take to the stage on the spookiest night of the year. We meet the Saxon bad-boy Hereward the Wake, and ask - at what point does putting heads on spikes stop being a hobby and start being a job?
Accompanied by a fine bunch of Lorefolk (hand-picked like the spookiest of Scottish kale) James tells a story featuring way too many Mission Impossible rubber masks and more Normans than you can shake a spike at. (The French kind of Normans, not the Hale or Pace type).
You can watch the entire stream in glorious 'technically-colour' on our YouTube channel:

S5 Ep8: Loremen S5 Ep8 - The Witch of Berkeley

Halloween may be over, but it is always spooky season on Loremen. With that in mind, James brings in a tale of a Berkeley Witch whose last request is as elaborate as it is ineffectual. Poor wee James is under the weather this week, so his deep bass baritone is even bassier than usual. And yes, Alasdair does dole out a couple of pity points.
There's a chance James has touched on this tale before, but never in such detail, or at such a low octave. Get it down your ears!
