2025 Almanac Part 1

It’s time for the annual Loremen misunderstanding of how countdowns work! We’ve selected the top ten* moments from 2025, as voted for by the Lorefolk.

Part 1 of this year’s Almanac is more of a Jamesmanac, as Shakeshaft delivers hit after hit. Roman robots! Man-faced pigs! Two Jesuses?

The featured episodes are:

  • The Legends of Lullingstone
  • Valentine’s Special 2025 with Jenny Collier
  • The Roman Robot of Cirencester
  • The Man-Faced Pigs of Brussels
  • Vicky’s Ticker
  • Somerset Sects
  • Witches of Essex with Joel Morris

* Actually fifteen.
