It's All About the Traybakes, er, Regional Folklore

Alasdair Becket-King and James Shakeshaft are the Loremen! Every week they unearth some aspect of UK folklore and discourse on it in a very rambling fashion, then they rate the story according to absurdly arbitrary criteria.
If you like this sort of thing, ytou might also try Grave History, who bat in a similar league.

It is both weirder and more arbitrary than Saga Thing. Also, profoundly less scholarly but more laugh out loud funny.

I really love this podcast. I started listening to it a couple weeks ago every day on my daily walk.

ABK's youtube is pretty decent too. I like this video which was originally done as an interactive thing with polls on twitter.

ABK’s YouTube is a joy! No one seems to have noticed, but I tossed him a nod.

Loremen is brilliant. Started listening after I saw Alasdair Beckett-King's viral Every Single Scandanavian Crime Drama bit.

While we're geeking out over Alasdair Beckett-King I've got to throw in a good word for his Nelly Cootalot adventure games, which are excellent and very funny.

Oh wow, this was basically made for me. And they even have Robin Ince as a guest! I'm trying to add more non politics podcasts to my rotation, this will fit on beautifully.
