Here's the latest instalment of Arthur Pendragon's modern-day saga 'The About Time Too King', in the final edition of Season Three.  I hope you've enjoyed, or got something, out of these podcasts; next year the story-strands ('King', 'Forever Blowing Bubbles', 'Mithered' and the Marriott & Pat series) will appear in a somewhat different format... but I don't know what that format is yet!  Keep an internet eye peeled for related news.

For the penultimate edition of Season Three, I've thrown the spotlight on the podcast's theme music, which started life as a song by some daft brush named Cromford.  The song's called 'Tit For Tat' and the lyric is self-explanatory; if you hunt down the song on my website (paulcromford.com, 'Original Music and Lyrics') you can bounce a little mental blue ball along the words as they get sung.  Minutes of fun!

Continuing my tale of 'The About Time Too King' (Arthur Pendragon and his unlikely modern-day cohorts); in this instalment Merlin Pettifer makes a few 'phone calls... and several startling discoveries. Lend an ear to discover all.

In this edition of AFC, I cock (what is for me) an overdue snook at such ultra-liberal conceits as cancel culture, gender fluidity and the extinction rebellion shower... and yes, I refuse to dignify the latter bunch with capital initials.  Aren't you tired of all the bullying, all that inflated sense of entitlement, all that hypersensitivity on behalf of unconsulted sections of society?  Don't you find all of that eagerness to Take Offence At Something deeply offensive in itself?  Yep, me too.

Beginning a continuation of my story-strand concerning Arthur Pendragon and his uphill preparations to defend 21st-century England against her deadliest-ever danger... whatever that might prove to be.  To recap this story, see the following episodes in AFC Season Two: "...Pine For Chivalry" (2:10), "...Scoff At Reincarnation" (2:12) and "...Talk The Talk" (2:24).

Ringo wanted to stay with an octopus, George wanted to pay a bit less tax, John wanted his mother, and Paul... what did Paul really really want?  This edition of 'Any Fool Can...' suggests our Paulie wanted to be something rather less salubrious than a writer of paperbacks.  Get the lowdown here!

Action stations!  Here's one more instalment from my concept 'Forever Blowing Bubbles': this is the final part of the four-part story 'Evangeline's Echo'.  Comedy is in short supply this time; revelation follows revelation, and if you haven't got a lump in your throat by the end, I will have failed!

Nobody likes a smartarse, apparently.  That's a strange fact, isn't it?  After all, those clever-clogs are only trying to raise the bar so that the rest of us can try harder... and surely no rational person would fight shy of being the best they can be?  Surely?  Or maybe you know differently!

More from the sketch-strand 'Forever Blowing Bubbles': this is Part Three of the four-part story 'Evangeline's Echo'.  Who was Buck Rumpley?  Why is Commander Hassock behaving so strangely?  Where is Talfryn's backside?  And what has Phobes got in his earphones?  Some of the answers are here...

Nothing to do with obscenity, this episode: it's about insensitivity, usually displayed by people too young or inexperienced to realise how crass they sound! The guest reader is my obliging friend Reginald Vera Petheringhamtonovichinstein.
