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...

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.

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.

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...

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...

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?

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.

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?

It this weeks more reasonable episode we have a look at the internet legend of Funland. It's a story about blossoming manhood and being in love with a very tempting, very enticing inanimate object. We have all thought about it but what happens when the object becomes the objectee and the manhood becomes the cooker hood? Well, thats one read of the story, another is someone once saw and episode of Scooby Do, i can do that but worse.

Welcome to Engerland, home of the pint, home of the brave, did Jesus footsteps once walk upont these sacred hills? Borley Rectory is in England. But it's not pints it serves, its the paranormal. With a chaser of lust. Easy, you've had a few, sure you can drive? Of course lust driving is the second biggest killer on Angerlands roads after American diplomats wives, so be safe. The episode is much like this throughout. Did it need and hour forty? Yes

Having settled all their legal disputes, medical claims and blood feuds the lads (42 and 47 respectively) are back in the saddle of the strange and enlightening world of Urban Legends. For a bit of fun to kick off the series we have a chuckle at classic bants Weekly World News and their main pin up (it's meant to be erotic right?) Batboy. Yep from the caves of West Virginia, where I get my backy, to Iraq and biting the Queen, its a bit of fun.

In the free wheeling, bring your toys to school day final episode of the series we look at the frankly unimpressive Chupa (Suck) Cabra (Chub). Much like fellow stars Mcauly Culken, Snow and Chaka Demus and Plyas its imperial phase was the 90's. Ah the 90's, remember when we were in the 90's and though everything was shit? Can't Sunday Quarterback the ghost of a whisper of a glimpse of your younger self, no matter how many sacrifices you are willing to perform. Anywho, yeah, probably just a dog and some fraud.

This weeks episode is about Badang the Strongman. An inspiration for us all he brings himself up from humble beginings through hardwork and eating vomit. Feat possibly Snoop Dogg's finest film role, Amazon innovative business plan and more Elon discussion. Co starring Winnie the Pooh and Mickey Mouse (out of copyright versions only).

Back in the regular slot after the Christmas and the New Year Eve we are asking ourselves the question that dare no speak its name but returns to us every night in the liminal space twixt wake and dream; How much Vodka is too much Vodka. Is too much Vodka when you cheerfully tell a tall tale based on a sci fi short or in fact is the the right amount of Voddy because its a laugh. Also lots of Chris trail of though nonsense and weak premises and Neils attempts to placate said man child.

This week we are looking at the legend of the Yuki-onna a sometimes nice more often nasty japanese personification of winter. Find up what we've been up to, reasons to be cheerful this year, how Geoff Capes got his powers, and how we feel about winter, ravines, and woodcutters.

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

No, this is isn't a headline from the medium future when Neil and Chris' K-Pop act finally break bad in Seoul, it is the curious urban legend around the very real dangers of fans. I'm scared of many things, thistles, cob webs, Beaker (puppet), white foods and a dog i met Kinshasa to name a few but never a fan. Whats that all about? Listen.

We are back after taking a week off to go and see our paymaster Steve Bannon to get further orders. As such, this week we are looking at angels. War angels. Yes in the fields of world war one did a phalanx of ghost archers, some angels, and the big man St George, come to the rescue of some allies? If you dont have time to listen the answer is a resounding yes

Here's this weeks episode about a grim legend. We also learn a lot about vibes based mental health assessment and the early days of witness protection

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

Sometimes in this life, we have to just knuckle down and work, even if we dont like it but it's important. You just have to stop procrastinating and get on with it, sooner you get it started, sooner you wont have to worry about it. Here's part two of Batchelors Grove. And there will be a third part, and you will grow as a person because of this.

In a radical change to format, this week is part one of a multi episode look at the highly active and murder heavy Bachelors Grove Cemetery. Many an urban legend abound for this place, including some you have likely heard yourself during your younger days. Remember them? We didnt have much did we? But we were happy and the Summer Holidays seemed to last for years. Catching rats to fight in the barrel cellar under your local pub, being a lookout for minor theft, trying to kick eachother off your bikes while cycling through a council estate. Yes, a boys...

This week we dive into the mysterious world of Chemtrails. Water vapour or Covid spreading, vaccine innoucating mind control chemicals? Do the UK and the US have a history of testing these things out in the past? Neil the cheecky flim-flam artist. Jack White comes to Brighton and makes us confront the terrifying reality of other people the cheeky Pearly King Skellington.

On this week's show we discuss the mysterious but relatable time travelling guru John Titor from the far off time of 2036. Is it worth going back to the 70s to pick up an obsolete PC, is time travel more like a bad road trip or Ryanair journey and should we pay more attention to our own journey through life?

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 soupers in Wisconsin and how addictive is raw milk?

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 topic. Also, due to a lack of information we talk about Nostradamus' predictions for 2024 and the guys give their feelings on the right wing riots but also Chris does a Prince Harry...

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, Chris loses confidence and Neil reveals he blacks out for most episode recordings
