Welcome to the Manor! If you've ever wondered how we rate beers here at the Macabre Manor, you're in for a treat. Get out your calculus and non-linear dynamics textbooks, because we're going to get deep into the math.
Just kidding. It's slightly more complicated than "it's good!" but you don't need to be Tricia McMillan to follow our algorithms.
Next week's episode is on Tolkien Reading Day 2022, Love and Friendship.

Welcome to the last installment of our series on the second series of that most excellent and famed British comedy series Monty Python's Flying Circus! Some background, some episode notes, and some basic "favorite parts." Have a gin and tonic (or several, if you want to fit in with that troupe) and enjoy!
Next week's episode is about (something -- Van Halen maybe? More Python? Tolkien? Who knows -- not us right now).

Welcome back to the Manor! We're continuing our Prohibition series with part 3 that discusses prostitution. We're focusing on two famous madams: Madam Edith Brown of Terre Haute, Indiana, USA and Madam Dolly Fawcett of Dublin, Ireland. The prohibition was in more force in the United States, but there were many pub rules in Dublin that Dolly skirted.
We talk about their lives and their professions and the general drinking and prostitution cultures of their times, so you'll get a bit more of what it was like in Terre Haute during its Sin City phase and in Dublin for its mid-century pub life.
Next week's episode is celebrating the 42nd anniversary of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy's Secondary phase and second book.

Welcome back to the Manor! And welcome to an episode James had promised many dozens of episodes ago or more.... a history of two handed tapping on the guitar! Of course the ending of the episode prominently features Eddie Van Halen, as well as other notable guitar gods such as Randy Rhoads and Jimmy Page, but the beginning goes back hundreds of years. So pull a pint and enjoy!
Next week's episode is about (stay tuned).

We did it, brutes! We made it to 200! So join us in the study with a pint and pipe or whatever you want, as we present the second half of 1964 from the original unaired podcast idea, The Heavy Metal and Hard Rock History Podcast. No, we're not changing the podcast. It's just a special. So hang tight next week for more typical Macabre Manor fun!
But for now, enjoy some context as to what was going on in the world at the time rock and roll was becoming rock, which would lead us to hard rock and heavy metal.
Next week's episode is a history of guitar finger tapping (featuring, of course, Eddie Van Halen)

Welcome back to the Manor! Welcome back to what seems to be an annual event! Robert Burns, Scottish poet, is celebrated on his birthday (January 25th) with wide recognition in Scotland and wherever the Scots diaspora are living. We're doing our part by having a wee dram or a Wee Heavy and reading some of our most beloved Burns poetry.
To Burnsie!
Next week's episode is about (stay tuned).

Welcome back to the Manor! Make sure to pull your pint after doing your silly walk. We're continuing with our Monty Python series 2 arc! A few of our favorite skits from some episodes, as well as what the Pythons were doing just before they started putting together Python itself. Ni!
Next week's episode is more on Tommy Bolin.
