Weird Tales Radio Show #49: Love Locks & Mad Earls

25/1/2019

In Episode 49 of the Weird Tales Radio Show we celebrate St Paul’s Day (25th January) because if it is fair and clear, we shall have a happy year. We also look at a couple of modern urban legends: love locks on bridges and shoes tossed over telephone cable and ask: are they really ancient traditions or modern fads? And we remember the Mad, Bad Life of Earl Ferrers who ended his life swinging from the Tyburn Tree by a silken noose.

In Episode 48 of the Weird Tales Radio Show podcast (available on iTunes, Spotify etc) we sing the sad song of the Mistletoe Bride trapped in her living tomb - we review the legend and have a new version of the song for you from Andy Brown. We also look at the tradition of Old Twelfth Night + Take a quiz on some little known legendary facts - seriously King Arthur, your spear is called Ron? + We discover a churchyard in Northern Ireland where the graveyard dirt really does deliver a miracle cure.

In Episode 47 of the Weird Tales Radio Show we all chant “Rook di goo, There’s blood in the shoe” as we look at the horrid origins of another traditional pantomime – this time Cinderella. Got a woodburning stove? Have we got some log-burning folklore for you. We also go Urban Mythbusting - was the Ploughman’s Lunch really only invented in the 1950s by a cheese marketing committee? And in our Practical Magick slot, we have a hooddo spell for container work.
