From both sides of the globe, four stories - two told in Belfast, two in Adelaide: first-timer John Mooney takes on Air France; Jenn (1) takes to scary Zeus immediately; Jenn (2) takes the pet-minder at his word; Gaynor takes us to the station platform as the last train pulls away & gives us our podcast title. Paul is your host.

Tenx9 is a monthly storytelling event where nine people have up to ten minutes to tell a true story from their own life on a particular theme. It began in Belfast in 2011, started by Pádraig Ó Tuama & Paul Doran, and has spread to Scotland, England, USA, Canada, Netherlands & Australia.

While it draws on the tradition of oral storytelling, we also encourage the shy, the nervous & the reticent - some people are confident speakers other use notes or the full text.

We work with people via email or workshops to edit and improve their stories, to help them find their voice.

We have also worked with prisoners as well as young people who have been in the care system.
