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.

In this weeks late episode we stray unknowingly into the realm of TRUCRIM as we question why this is considered an Internet Urban Legend, have we been hoisted on Chris's petard? Wouldn't be the first time, kid wont put his petard away Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
AKA the Ballad of Holt-o. This week we look at the disappearance of Australian Prime minister Holt-o. A man who's political career was built on a plane crash, the catching and eating of spears, swimming, womanising and.....spy craft? Well we look through all the evidence with the finest of toothed combs, like a flea comb or something to get to the bottom of this indelible mystery. Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of the podcast that is called 'Urbane Legends' apparently, these two tits from England talk about some legend or something, i think they must be stupid, about some kind of monster or snake of something in Africa or Asia, cant remember, and some idiots who went to look for it in the forest and some of them were doing it because of the Bible or whatever and loads of the locals seemed to think it was real but i dont trust them and then it finished. 1* Hosted on Acast.

In this week's episode we explore the history of the Beatles conspiracy theory around Paul MaCartney dying and being replaced by MI5 when they had less important stuff to do.

Have you seen whats going on at the Hot Wells Hotel? Some glass blower is having a party with some artists, ghosts and skateboarders! Dont worry, it will burn down in a minuet. Yes its a haunted hotel in San Antonio, Texas. Originally from the times of the wild wild west and still going now its had a storied history, a strange history and a mainly being on fire history. However the tickets are pretty reasonable so could be a decent day out, especially if tied to the pub crawl which is also offered. Thats living alright. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
A hole, a phenomenon, an army and a podcast. All these come together this week as we hop on the megabus to Eastern Europe to check out the legendary Tsarichina Hole. Or holes. Yes there are two separate things going on. One is a mysterious timeless folk tale and one is the Engineering Core of the Bulgarian Army. And what do the locals know? They aren't saying or weren't told. This may feel like several sentences of someone saying nothing, if it does, well spotted, you're a sharp one. Good day Hosted on Acast.

All that is new has gone before. In this depressing episode of the podcast we look at a panic that swept London in the 19th century. Are their any parallels to today that can be drawn? Surely not, we are much more sophisticated now right? Ugh Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
When is a man and egg? When is an egg a dream? When is a dream a lie? And when is a lie a kindness? Thats right, its this weeks episode of Urbane Legends, the stonewashed jean review podcast where this week we look at a mysterious silver ball found in Florida. Is it alien? Is it industrial? So many questions are both answered and ignored in your favourite weekly hit of Billy Joel Trivia on this, the 'Billy Joel Stans' podcast with Flynn and Herby Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
This week we catch up to discuss the reasonably heartwarming Pig faced ladies legend. We try and avoid falling into the manosphere likie the soyboy cucks we are while discussing witchcraft, regency golddiggers, getting cucked by God and much more. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
In this week's double bill episode all sorts to discuss: Elephants swimming habits, Cocktail tips, Smash robots, Vague reportage and seemingly everything but the Goggle-eyed sea monster and UFO sightings that make up this ep. Sometimes less is more. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
In this late breaking episode we look at the radical new hottest new banging new hot new topic the Serbian Dancing Lady. Party person gone the the world of daft on the splif pills? Mentally spicey escapee, ghost thing? Lets delve deeeep Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Love them or loath them Mimics are a fact of life. From the helpful Doppelganger who goes into work for you when you've had a skin full the night before to the much more troubling Jim Carey doing a Mick Jagger impression on a British tallent show in the late 80's they fill our lives in good and bad way. We all have learned to accept this as part of our reality. But have you ever stood back and thought to yourself 'Is is right?'. This episode asks the unspoken question, breaks the taboo and discusses 'Mimics, who asked for them, and why should they get benefits when Humans are struggling' Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
On this weeks episide we explore the wild swine of hampstead, find out far more about the shit based economy of Victorian London than expected and hang out with the Toshers and Tosher adjacent rougues like Queen Rat. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
This one is for the completionists. We look at the looooooong and boring original creepypasta Ted the Caver. Listen in amazement as the guys struggle through this episode, with grit, determination and an almost fanatical devotion to their craft. Basically, we are sorry. It makes excellent brown noise to go to sleep to. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Tonight on Urbane Legends - Miami.... "you got some god dam nerve showing up here"...."Its not what it looks like..."...."You we're like a brother to me"...."I'll tell you who i am, im the god dam mayor of this city, and your off the case"...."i thought i'd find you here, that seat taken?"...."Just like old times!"......"I learned that one in the Navy"....."Neil? Neil?! Noooooooooo!" We also look at a selection of Black Dog myths from around the United Kingdom. They all agree its some kind of demon but they are quite a lot of fun. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Morning. This episode takes us to Brazil in the 1990's, no it isn't a tail of Suede's antics on tour but a close encounter of the sweaty kind. So what we know is it definitely isn't Prince Andrew...this time. There was a UFO crash ('we dont got wind where we comes from!') investigated by a military man, and three young women found the alien, alone and scarred in a lot behind the shops or something. But the brass have tried to pass it off as wonderful character 'Mudinho', a local with addiction issues and disabilities. Neil is also introduced to the dark enlightenment and resident beta cuck Chris offers out people who call other humans NPS's. Will anyone be brave enough to take this 7 stone weakling up on his poorly considered offer? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Howay! This week we travel (metaphorically, we wouldn't actually travel, train fairs being what they are) to the mysterious and surreal area of the North East of Engerland. For once, this is an actual intriguing story of haunting which is not easily explained (without the help of throwing in the wild card of Gerard Depardeiu, which we obviously did). Over a century 3 families, multiple generations and many witnesses hauntings were going on in this Mill House. We cant explain it, can you? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
This week on the podcast, which youtube has issues with due to its outsized influence in the US and UK elections apparently, we have another story which starts with people drinking shine on the porch at 2am, its the Houston Batman. Was he or they a midnight creeper and peeper? A UFO? Shine madness? We may never know but something did happen because it was reported in newspapers, the gold standard. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Trigger Warning! There is computer game chat in this episode. Are Neil and Chris doing a dry run for a re-boot of Gamesmaster with Joe Swash as the new Patrick Moore? Keep your eyes glues to the Dave channel. In this episode we dig through the landfill of late stage capitalist thinking but was there actually something else going on? The guys certainly seem to have some questions that need answers about the insanity of the whole thing. Or was it just cocaine? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
