Hello everyone, in this episode I look into the history of Heideberg and tell some of the weird tales that can be found around here. A headless rider, a ghost dog, a very big hole, people throwing beehives, the French and some Nazis. This episode has it all.

HOLY CRAP! I made another episode. Sorry for the radio silence recently, moving country, and covid and all manner of other shinnanigans has messed things up. But here's a long fun story for you. It involve pig rustling, people being turned to animals, angry people for being caught out in lies, magic, war, vermin, all the good things in life. Welcome to the longest branch of the Mabinogion, the tale of Math son of Mathonwy (and Gidion, Gwivaeli, Llew Llaw Gyffes and some others...). Hope you enjoy.

Welcome back to The Drunken Storytellers podcast. In this episode, I return after a few months of madly finishing my PhD. I take a look at a true story from where I grew up as a child, and that is the true tale of John Lowe, the Brandeston vicar/reverend accused of witchcraft by Matthew Hopkins and immortalised in the movie Witchfinder General.
