Latest up from Spoken Label (Author Chat Podcast) features making his debut, Adrian Slatcher.

Adrian Slatcher was born in Staffordshire in 1967. He studied English at Lancaster University, and creative writing at the University of Manchester. He has co-edited several literary magazines, and is a trustee of Castlefield Gallery, a contemporary art gallery in Manchester. His fiction has featured in a number of anthologies, including Best British Short Stories. He has published two poetry pamphlets: Extracts from Levona (2010) and Playing Solitaire for Money (2010).

This Podcast primarily talks about his debut stories collection Loners.

Loners is a collection of six stories by Adrian Slatcher, three of which are published for the first time. It also features images created by the artist Steven Heaton in response to the stories. The book is the second in a series of collaborations between writers and artists - the first, Interpolated Stories by David Rose and Leah Leaf, was published in 2022.

The stories vary widely in form, from ‘Last Testament of a Lighthouse Keeper’, ostensibly a written journal, to ‘sleeveless itchery and parched throat’, an unpunctuated monologue. While all six stories are about ‘loners’ in one way or another, it would be wrong to think of the characters as being without hope – in each case, their isolation is something they are trying to break out of, in search of redemption, often after some kind of trauma. The characters are loners out of either choice or circumstance, but it is never easy to be alone.

Latest Podcast from Spoken Label (Spoken Word / Poetry Podcast) features Lynn Walton.

Lynn advises "I am a Salford based poet and some of my work centres on this inspiring city and nearby Manchester.

My work moves from serious to amusing to risqué. One of my favourite styles is fusing topics that don’t normally belong together.

I perform at a variety of events  and venues and occasionally on Salford City Radio, and have been published in several anthologies including one by Virago Press. Recently, I published some of my work in three booklets."

All three of her collections be purchased from
