On the Season 2 debut of Lost Cultures: Living Legacies , we travel to Bermuda, an Atlantic island whose history spans centuries and continents. Once uninhabited, Bermuda became a vital stop in transatlantic trade, a maritime stronghold, and a cultural crossroads shaped by African, European, Caribbean, and Native American influences. Guests Dr. Kristy Warren and Dr. Edward Harris trace its transformation from an uninhabited island to a strategic outpost shaped by shipwrecks, colonization, the transatlantic slave trade, and the rise and fall of empires. Plus, former Director of Tourism Gary Phillips shares the story of the Gombey tradition, a vibrant performance art rooted in resistance, migration, and cultural fusion. Together, they reveal how Bermuda’s layered past continues to shape its people, culture, and identity today. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices…

The wind whistles. The rain pours incessantly. It is also night time. Alasdair shelters in the only place he can in this bleak moor - under a big stone. But who's that fella coming down the track? The figure with a lantern and a slouch hat ( look it up , it's the one with the fancy brim, not a beanie). Yes, it's James of course, with a terrifying tale from Wales!

We visit The Queen's House* in Greenwich, where a spiral staircase is haunted by a blurry ghost. And a stroll in Greenwich Park is no walk in the cake either. The park is home to early medieval barrows, disrespectful deer and very nasty things that like to drop from trees. *Don't worry, she was out.

for 8 weeks siden35:17

James spins another yarn from the moors of Devon. It's the tale of Reverend Dodge, a vicar so fearsome his name caused demons to turn and flee! Let's be honest, this episode isn't the first time the boys have sung the Ghostbusters theme in West Country accents. And darn it, it won't be the last! We may also have got popular puppet Hacker T. Dog's name wrong several times, but we swear it was an accident. We're just innocent men.

James tells the true story of a man who escaped the hangman's noose, not once, not twice and not four times either. The life of John "Babbacombe" Lee was made into a silent film in 1912. Smash-cut to 2025, and James is retelling the tale with his usual cinematic panache. Yes, this is a James Shakeshaft Joint starring your two favourite Loreboys.

Now this is a story all about how Donald Omand’s life got flipped turned upside down when he encountered a Chinese idol possessed by a murderous spirit. Alasdair introduces James to the so-called ‘Circus Priest’, a Scottish exorcist who fought the forces of evil everywhere from the Bermuda Triangle to a hotel room in Edinburgh. That is, if Dr Omand’s own account of the events is to be believed... If anything, we could say that this guy was rare.
