  • Beers, and Banter with the Buoys at the Red Lion
    Feb 7 2025

    Join Henry, David, and Ross as they get increasingly sozzled at the Red Lion pub in Weymouth.

    They originally set out to discuss the pub’s haunted history and the lifeboat disaster that launched from the station just around the corner. However, after too much rum, beer, wine, and whiskey, they ended up completely sidetracked, diving into the origins of nautical terms instead.

    We can also heartily recommend the steak and chips—it might be the beer talking, but it's probably the nicest pub we've been to in Weymouth in ages. Highly recommended!

    Grab your headphones, pour yourself a drink (or several), and enjoy this chaotic but entertaining virtual pub experience. Cheers!

  • The Mysterious Grey Mare and Her Colts
    Oct 9 2024

    After a long summer break, the boys are back! In this episode, Ross and David take us on a journey to the mysterious Grey Mare and Her Colts, a megalithic chambered long barrow near Abbotsbury in Dorset. Built during the Early and Middle Neolithic periods, this ancient tomb holds secrets uncovered in the 19th century, including human remains and pottery fragments. The duo also visits the nearby Kingston Russell Stone Circle, also known as the Gorwell Circle.


    Back at the Dark Darzet Studios, they’re joined by Henry to reflect on the field visit and dive into the folklore surrounding these two intriguing sites. They also catch up on some bizarre local news, including a new crop circle near Badbury Rings, the Neolithic burial site at Thomas Hardy’s former home in Dorchester, which was recently granted special protection as a scheduled monument on the advice of Historic England, and the temporary arrival of a second moon orbiting Earth.


    All this, plus plenty of uninformed chatter, chaos, and fun as they return—now even less organized than ever!
