City Beef: Durham vs York
from City Beef: Exploring Weird Britain · host Jake_Abanos
This week on City Beef, it’s Durham vs. York, and the conversation immediately dissolves into a swirl of medieval chaos and questionable folklore.At some point, dysentery gets mentioned far too casually. The Sockburn Worm barges into the chat. A 97-year-old Polish Count dwarf enters the discussion, yet somehow becomes the most sensible figure involved. Meanwhile, the rats of York burglaries keep getting brought up and of course Dick Turpin appears, unsolicited, like he always does.Which city comes out on top?The scholarly, stone-stacked aura of Durham, or the historical, vaguely rodent-adjacent swagger of York?Tune in because this beef is timeless, tangled, and probably violating several bylaws.
