It's Episode 76 of KRAKEN COVE PODCAST and Matt and Benny find themselves in a bit of a pickle, and not of the egg variety! They're locked on the roof of the lighthouse with no way down, so will a bit of casting help them?
Not likely, but it's worth a shout!
In this episode the lads examine Virgin Boy Eggs, The Canoe Man's efforts to beat the Russians, a possible werewolf at an RAF base, Barry Chuckle's Ghost, some VERY sticky fingers leading to a huge fine, and much much more!
Enjoy the show, and if you do, leave a review!

It's episode 74 of KRAKEN COVE!
This week, please bear with us... Benny got COVID and logistics were a nightmare. there's some rather odd background sounds for the more careful listener and rather stressful recording factors but we did our best!
In this show we finally look at a proper big hitter - SPRINGHEEL JACK!!! But not just this super weird pouncer. we look at him in the context of other Phantom Attackers around the world, namely The London Monster, The Halifax Slasher, The Mad Gasser of Mattoon and the Dehli Monkey Man! This is a big one, folks, so please strap in!!

In this episode Matt and Benny kick back with a mixed bag of stories from the local rag, the Kraken Cove Clarion. It's a great paper, full of nothing but strange stories and bits of fun. No huge standout dives this week, just a catch up on headlines, silly stories and some listener input to send Matt and Benny down the usual convoluted warren of rabbit holes!

Yes, you heard it right, GNOMES!!!
You know what they are.... or do you?
An essential item in the 70's garden, also a kitsch addition to the modern garden perhaps, but what is a gnome, and why are we even interested in them?
Dive into the world of these wonderful little people with Matt and Benny, find out what the Hell is going on at the bottom of the garden, and perhaps solve some very mundane mysteries closer to home!

Welcome, one and all, to Kraken Cove Episdoe 70!!
Benny and Matt hit the beach for an unseasonal picnic, and while they sip a beer and snaffle a scotch egg, they indulge in a spot of casting!
In this episode they focus the lighthouse lamp onto more Ty Delorean news, rumours of outer space sea beasties, a giant forest for the Flat Earthers, some VERY sexy beasts and some wonderful poetry about strange horses!
