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.
