Summary

The Loreboys are joined by the legend that is Edd Hedges, returning to right an ancient wrong. Comedian & podcaster, Edd is probably best known for being on the fabled lost episode of Loremen. We're finally making up for that whole palaver with a bevy of Cambridgeshire oddities, from a terrifying monkey (some would call it a dog) to The Chronophage.

0:00.0	Welcome to Lawmen, a podcast about local legends and obscure curiosities from Days of Yore.
0:13.7	I'm James Shakespeare. I'm Alistair Beckett King. Hey, Alistair, we've got a deputy this week.
0:18.7	It wouldn't be old Ed Hedges, would it? It bloomin would be as well.
0:22.2	He of the legendary lost episode of Lawmen?
0:24.7	He is, yeah. He's back to write what once went wrong.
0:27.6	And also, he's got a tour coming up.
0:30.2	In England and the USA?
0:31.8	Yes, exactly those two places.
0:33.7	Wow.
0:34.3	But in the meantime, enjoy the episode, The Shug Monkey.
0:37.3	Music Wow. But in the meantime, enjoy and us, Ed Hedges.
1:05.1	Oh, hello.
1:05.8	And podcaster as well, actually.
1:07.6	I wouldn't call me a podcaster.
1:10.0	I'm not a podcast.
1:44.3	It's got a podcast. I've got a podcast. You're podcasting right now, Ed. Very professionally, may I say. This is a self-worth problem, I feel. That is hot. I'll accept the medal of podcaster. If you can't call yourself a podcaster, that is very low self-word. I just sort of hang. I'm a podcast-adjacent fella. It's obviously too low to start his own podcast. Are you even a white man, Ed? I'm not even sure. Wow. The thousands of episodes, I just lock them all the way, and I listen back to him. I'm like, I'm very good, Ed.
1:45.5	Another singer.
1:52.0	So, Ed, of course, I remember you from knowing you for several years and from the legendary,
1:57.2	the now legendary last episode of Lawmen that we recorded at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2019 with some quite dodgy sound equipment that made it all go weird.
2:02.0	And I'm glad that you are here and we can finally write an ancient wrong.
2:05.8	Glad to be back. It's going to be like when they return all the gold in Pirates of the
2:09.3	Caribbean and then everything's better.
