This week we will be hearing about how to grow the loveliest of flowers, why you may need to hop through Norwich, a department store witch, who it is who is coming, the horror of the hurdy-gurdy and why you never cross the corn-dolly lady.

Enjoy - but when you hear the rhyme, close your eyes now.

This week we will be hearing about a playground you don’t want to take your child to, being lord of all the world, why you need to make an offering, the day to avoid the sea fog, an important choice, and a man who watches the world go by.

Enjoy - but don’t turn that key now.

This week we will be hearing about an obscure hero who does two for one on suits, which dogs are the worst kind, the petals in the reeds, a woman who is not a witch, where not to put your hand, and why we must all panic.

This week we will be hearing about a Greek lady you may know, the perils of a sin-eater, what walks along the wall, what path to pick in the mist on the moors, what lies through the back door at the amusements, and what you might hear from a small copse of trees.

Enjoy. But don’t listen to the voices, now.

This week we find out why a bothy is not always a shelter in a storm, why the leaves of an oak and the parts of a fish you throw away might save you, about messages from the birds, hidden tunnels, lonely men, and a crying woman with a most peculiar tin.

Enjoy. But don’t look inside, now.

This week we will be exploring the sinister conspiracy of horses, learning why the birds sing so, the secret of a Lakeland spring that you should not drink from, and a pub that you should not visit, and hear about a man in the country who has many, many names and may tell you them, and about one of our very old May Day traditions.

Enjoy-  but be wary of asking the names of things.

This week we find out about the warning cries of a baby, the importance of mysterious numbers on the shortwave, why you don't want to meet a certain gentleman in Kent, teeth buried on house walls, why it's not just the gap on the underground that you have to mind, and a phone box where you can find out - well, listen and find out.

Enjoy - but mind the gap now.

This week, we find out about a very unusual but achingly trendy restaurant, some interesting grafitti, why you should be very careful on a particular road even though there are no bears, the walker between ancient stones with a surprising turn of speed, a scruffy old man with something of a history, and a missing month that you might stumble upon.

Enjoy - but be careful where you walk, now.
