Are you a fan of hauntings, vortexes, lay lines, mysterious shit and Pigman? Well this is the pod for you. Each week a new urban legend is looked at with a non-scientific rigour only seen usually at the top of government. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll fast forward you may even fall in love (unrelated).

Feel free to email about the show if you have any theories about anything discussed, and urban legends you want us to look at, if you want any advice on etiquette or anything or have a speed boat to sell Neil. If the email is insulting I should state in advance that I have a black web hacker on retainer and I am very vindictive.

Flatwoods Monster

Urbane Legends

07/24/24 • 59 min

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 about his new job in the new government of the United Kingdom (tm), was Cila Black a CIA plant (PSYWAR) and all of your usual rubbish.

Classic 7 - New Coke vs the Hopkinsville Goblins

Urbane Legends

07/10/24 • 97 min

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 owl/alien moonshine gun battle.

Mothman

Urbane Legends

06/19/24 • 76 min

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 funny and a call on anyone who listens to email any question for a mailbag episode. Otherwise we have to write all the questions ourselves again. '[email protected]' and finally some news on the future output. Its been a ride

Rendlesham Forrest Incident

Urbane Legends

06/12/24 • 75 min

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 'the sceptics of Wiki' and eventually find some stuff thats interesting. We also read out a script for last weeks podcast written by ChatGPT and we explain why we think some of the bad press around American investment wizz kid Scotter Altrium is unfair.

Hanoko San

Urbane Legends

06/05/24 • 61 min

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 'Pigman'. This is a fairly thin legend so the guy have a lot of unrelated chat from Sir Bamber Topcat to Chris's new career as a cyberpunk novel writer. You could say they have become Paddington Bear, because they have padded a ton and both refuse to wear anything at all below the belly button.

Dover Demon

Urbane Legends

05/30/24 • 71 min

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 hour and 10 pod out of that? Well, that why we're the best in the business.
