Stories Fables Ghostly Tales

Today I bring you, straight from 1919, a critique on the prison system, political prisoners, and the perception of prisoners waaaay, way back. I hope you enjoy this peculiar topic, one that I researched specifically regarding two key anarchists - Alexander Berkman and Emma Goldman.

NOTE: This will be my final episode for this year, and I'll be back on the 3rd of January!!

I just wanted to say THANK YOU so much for being amazing and what has been achieved over this year:

- Over 400 special effects used and bought thanks to your support.

- Two new Microphones, and supporting cables.

- Purchasing of specialised software to completely repair and fix ancient Old Time Radio episodes.

- Completely revitalised the Sherlock Holmes Old Time Radio series.

- Supported multiple Old Time Radio archive sources.

- Showcased over ten new listener authors, multiple anonymous submissions.

- Held our first Podcast interview with a Children's Book/Author.

- Landed over 500,000 listens from around the world.

- Made some amazing new Patreon friends 💜

I'm working on learning to create my own music as well, so we'll see how that goes. 🎹

We got TWINS - MURDERS...TWIN MURDERERS! Oh Yes, it's nuuuutsola with Philip Marlowe mates, and I'm so glad I can clean this up, thanks to you lovelies, so that I can bring him to your ears. I hope you enjoy your truly twisty episode today!

Queen Double W, aka Wickty Wack is notoriously known on every thugs lips as the two smack gal. Once she sets her eyes on you, and you’re her target hoho two hits is all that she needs. You could be twice her size, you could be twice as muscular as the bouncy betty that is Queen Wickty Wack, but she knows exactly where to land her blows, the right angle, the quickest to hit to dodge, and the movement around her opponent is almost second to none. Make sure you wear a lot of padding when she comes charging at you, because, well, you’re gonna need it. Thank you mate, you're amazing!

Roaming the streets as a young orphan meant knowing how to be deft of hand. Understanding how to move unnoticed, and almost completely ignored. From the attire that one wears, to the movement, to even the way your hair is cut, being ignored is not a disadvantage, it’s a skill all unto itself. Pocket Pincher is her moniker, and nothing in your pockets remains when you brush past her hands. You're a legends!

Mr Rhino to his friends, and “Oh shit, it’s Mr Rhino” to his enemies, because once you slag him, once your piss him off, there’s no coming back, because the only direction you’re going is wherever the hell he’s taking you. Mr Rhino is built like a door that graduated from a barn, to a smelting factory, and every punch he lays into you will remind you of that. EPIC is what you are!

So you have important documents that you’re handing to your lawyer…consider it stolen. Oh you have bank details to three clients that is under heavy guard? Consider it sold. Ahhh you’ve got family heirlooms stashed away in your chests and trunks…consider that property of the underworld. Ghost Eyes knows exactly where all the loot is, and how to get it…and if she wants it, her resources will find away of…separating you from her much wanted…treasures. You're BRILLIANT!

Thank you ALL you legends. Don’t forget how AWESOME you are, and take the idea of you being kickarse to work, or to bed, because if your listening, then you’re joining me for something special, something JUST as special as you. STAY AWESOME MATES!

Just me and you today you lovelies - 1 hour of John Keats' Hyperion, a tale of gods losing their way in our current universe, dispelling and turning into celestial light!!! Join me you lovelies for a very special episode!

With claws that glimmer and shine at night, Bastet is a force unmatched in agility, strength, and cunning. She bestows on those that she aids the foresight of quick thinking, amazing reflexes, and grip strength that enables her follows to sink their hands into walls and cement like butter – climbing from wall to rooftop to tower. Follow Bastet and you’ll never need a way out – every exit is an escape! Thank you soooo much Mayah!

Those that follow Solarus make the worlds most effective detectives. They weed out those that lie, with an innate ability to sense secrets, hidden truths, and the capacity to put pressure on key weakpoints in a persons argument. Solarus literally provides her follows the ability to shine light on those that behold the dark. Cheers Solstra!

Goddess of the Moon, bestowing on their followers the power of determination and justice. Seeking answers when met with resistance, and simply getting stronger and more powerful when met with even more obstacles. Tullun’s followers have the uncanny ability to push on through difficult situations where others would stumble. You're awesome mate!

The Goddess Seekest is one that covets knowledge, and free thought. Those that are imbued with her essence travel the world absorbing, understanding, and experiencing adventure. The Seekest is able to make the most out of any situation, finding thoughts and understanding that others gloss over in their haste, those touched by Seekest, cherish life, and all it’s meaning. You're epic Paige!

Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to your lovely self. I’ve been donating a portion of your support to repair, curation, and support of Old Time Radio. Ensuring that I keep that super-niche space alive and well looked after. I’ve also grabbed some new plugins from Blue, which cover off auto-gains, audio panning, and a massive arrive of additional tools to help tweak the audio. You might even notice today’s audio, just that bit crispier. Thank you immensely for your tier of support Mayah!

Thank you, you legend. I’ve been putting your support mate straight into Audio production. That means new stings, new music, and new special effects. That way when the next set of upcoming episodes, I can really help the episode narration shine. It’s going to be a BLAST. Thank you so much Solstra for your ongoing support mate! You're epic!

Mate, thanks to you I’ve been able to acquire a new tool for Old Time Radio repair, and that’s a more detailed spectrum analyser. So when I look at loooads of audio, sometimes I need to identify when there is a click or a pop, and the best way to do that some times, is to visually identify it. So now I can actually SEE clicks and pops, or highlight areas were there are some anomalies. Thanks to you, I can now do that, to maintain cleaner productions, of my own, plus Old Time Radio. You're brilliant!

Paige the awesome sage! Mate thanks to your lovely self I’ve been able to really push the envelope on some new RODE software, learn it’s strengths and maximise my quality of audio. So today I’ve been using the RODE Connect tool, which was made possible by your support – it comes part of the microphone, but the best bit about that is that I been able to really learn how to use it, to produce clearer and concise audio. Just want to say thank you for your epic support in this space and how much of a difference yourself, and all my supporters donations actually make. You’re wonderful.

And my legends, the lightning Zeus strikes that are my Earl Grey Enforcers, I’m luck to have:

Thank you all, enjoy your Wednesday, and I’ll see you lovely souls, Friday!!! High fives and hugs!

"Phillip Marlowe receives a call from Hellen Palmer…a women worried, a women scared, and rightfully so, because in a couple of seconds on said call with Hellen Palmer, she is shot…point blank. She gasps, then “No” before falling dead. Marlowe rushes, bolts it down where she lives to find…a party?"

Oh yes, super strange, and super...murdery!! Hope you've having a wonderful Monday and may this kickstart your day!

No-one can match Lucy’s aim, a crack shot in the murdering game. Hired initially for her looks at the bar, and finding that standing behind the tables mopping up the drawl and some of the customers, was far below her desired pay grade. She took to the streets, to kill. Taking contracts, and taking lives – criminals mind you, but a criminal herself. Lucy has been on Philip hit list for years, and always evaded him…just.

Every time a robber would bring in their haul from the latest heist, Marcy would be there; there to collect and spread around town the fruits of the underworlds treasures. It wasn’t until she was robbed herself that Marcy Marshmallow came into her own. She trained, and trained hard, becoming a brutal boxer for underground kingpins, and now…she’s hellbent on getting back what was stolen.

Three or four punches would take a man down – not Crimson Fist. One clean hit to the face by Crimson, and that person would be sent through two tables and part of the bar. Crimson, named not because of his clothes, or his hair, but because of the red streaks that drip down his knuckles after one punch – almost tearing off the side of a mans face. Never, piss him off!

It takes a fine mind to understand the nuances of lockpicking – an especially sharp and pointed mind at that, to rob a room full of safes in under 20 minutes. Queen Calculator, the planner and espionage specialist, and savant of heists. Using custom gadgets and her own wit, and her favourite sound, of a lock’s click – nothing is safe from her tiny tweezers, and not a lock remains fast when she comes to clean them.

Thank you, you legends for listening, and supporting the show. You’re marvellous! As always folks - HIGH FIVES and HUGS me mates!! 😁💜

The spirit of Mayah lives in every single cat, specifically their dreams. As cats enter their slumber from knocking things of shelves, annoyingly hissing at random objects, leaping from and to locations that are really, really, way out of their ability to do so – Mayah’s spirit reaches deep into every cat that closes their eyes and dreams of another world. A world just like theirs but with the freedoms and luxury in smashing objects without repercussions, hissing at objects that would run away in fear, and landing every leap they attempt. Mayah, the spirit of a cat’s dream, the keeper of a cats solace.

Have you ever lit a candle for it to quickly snap out of flame, and it’s flickering light just, fizzle out? What about having that very same candle dwindle to nothing after only lighting it, then…for some reason just spring back to life? You’ve just met your candle sprite, playing tricks on humans, and messing with us since the first time we could bring those sprites into existence by simply lighting that candle up. Enjoy them, have fun with them, and always enjoy what mischief those little candle sprites get up to.

Ever locked your keys out of your house? Reaching for your pockets and, ohh crap, I left it inside didn’t I? Then, out of shear frustration, you reach for the door handle and *click* it opens. What LUCK you say, the door mustn't have been closed all the way…despite being locked a moment ago. Maybe you need new locks…or maybe, it was the Door Guardian, giving you a saving grace. These little spirits understand those that they serve, and protect them from their own folly’s, be thankful, and they will always help you in return.

If you’re ever walking through the forest and you spot a tiny cluster of purple and yellow rocks, be very quite – you’ve just found a group of Sound Rocks. They little spirits pop up every now and then, twinkle and dingling their own little songs, mimicking birds and animals around them. Sometimes they may notice you, and jump into your pockets, a gift from the spirit realm to keep you happy. It’s said that one rock alone will bring you fortune for years, and whatever you try your hand at will be made easier than ever, and twice as enjoyable. Look out for those little spirit rocks!
