The Sin-Eaters | Wales
Welsh coal burns hotter. So hot, in fact, that the mistress of Welsh dandy Beau Nash was so distraught upon his leaving her that she elected to spend the rest of her life living in a hollowed-out tree. <br/><br/>This kind of passion is characteristic of the world of Welsh food and drink, the stranger corners of which we explore in this week's episode. Follow the link in our bio to learn about the Welsh origins of Guinness, the sin-eaters of the Welsh Marches, and the Mari Lwyd (pictured), which in an extremely crowded field may be the creepiest of British folk traditions. <br/><br/> Iechyd Da! <br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Cornish Knockers | The West Country
The boys travel home this week (not literally) to their beloved West Country, discussing scrumpy & western music, the Moonrakers of Devizes, Dorset knob and spoon races, men who eat roadkill, and other strange tales from Bodmin Moor. <br/><br/>This is the last one of series 2, and it's a humdinger! If you're enjoying the podcast, please remember to leave us a review and spread the good word, and we'll see you again very soon.<br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

The Milo High Club | History's Great Gluttons
Livers of pike, brains of pheasant and peacock, tongues of flamingoes and entrails of lampreys, anyone? Just some of the delights on offer at some of Ancient Rome's finest feasts. The appetites of the emperors pale in comparison to some of history's other great gluttons, though: the King of Rock 'n' Roll, Charles Darwin's Glutton Club, and the strange and terrible tale of Tarrare – perhaps the closest thing in history to a real-life hungry ghost.<br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
