Show Notes
James and Alasdair meet a retired pirate experiencing a self-imposed male loneliness crisis. Starting in the ruins of Finchale Abbey, we travel back to a time before the monastery was built (don't look for it, it's not there yet) and meet the notorious Saint Godric.
This burly old hermit had a very hot & cold relationship with animals and would go to extraordinary lengths to impress the ladies. Well, one particular lady - Our Lady.
Come see us in Oxford on the 1st July 2026

In the depths of Gloucestershire there lived a man, nay, a visionary! This man dared to dream that his egg-intolerant wife could enjoy a sweet dollop of custard on her pudding and he made that dream a reality. That man is not the main subject of this episode. But let's hear it for experimental chemist Alfred Bird.
Remember that big hill from the West Kennet Long Barrow episode just a couple of weeks ago? Well it's back. This time Silbury Hill brings some golden treats, a posset of seethed milk* and a 4500 year old flying ant.
Yorkshire's answer to the Bermuda triangle is more of a straight line between Everingham and Pocklington. As ever, James and Alasdair tackle the burning questions. What happens when a police officer sees something peculiar on the road? (They try to arrest a ghost, of course!) What on earth is going on with Fahrenheit? And what are you doing with all that pig blood?
Smugglers! Murderers! Funereal fakers!
