Published: Aug. 23, 2023, 7:30 a.m.

Two stories from English folklore about the secrets we keep. The first is the story of the Monk of Leicester, Dan Hew, a man who has a few verses of poetry he wants to yell at the married women of the village. All the married women.

\nHumphrey Kynaston likes to party and has made it his life's goal to spend all his dad's money, a goal he'll be able to check off his todo list sooner than he thinks because he's terrible with money.

\nThe creature is the Dobhar-Chu, a vicious otter who might just get his own true crime podcast.
