Time for poetry mates - straight from 1903 to your awesome ears, we explore spirits, dwarves, and the adventure to locate Japan, from a very English perspective. I always find these sorts of tales interesting, and they always open my eyes up to what people of the time thought. I hope you all enjoy Part 1 of Alfred No...Yes's verses!
Gooodness how lucky I am to have you’re lovely self in this tier – only 1 of three possible slots available for legends like you.

Good sah I’m doubley thankful to have your support! Jokes aside, you are a super star.

Plug-ins Lezza, you sir help me own them so that I may improve everyone’s experience. Thank you mate.

Where a towns wife is almost abducted by the Fae folk!! And our second story is in fact an Old Time Radio episode, Second Generation tis be titled, and one of Sherlock's latest adventures!!! Let's just say, more twisty then a lemon and lime! Hope you love it mates.

Thank you all for being yourselves…you know, awesome. I’ll see you Wednesday you epic people, where more stories away yah loveliest of people! ☕💜
I'm almost back to full strength, but still on the mend - possibly pushing a little too hard today but eh! I'll be fine by tomorrow.
As this I say in this episode, I'm basically surviving off scones and honey at this point hahah, but thanks for your patience mates!
Today I bring you Scottish Folk Tales, all about Haunted Ship Stories mates, written in 1889 no less! We get to listen to tales of a forbidden shore that see's its sailors pass away...drown, when they touch the two ships that lay, deeply sunken into the sea bed. A curse? A hex? Well....we'll have to see!
This is a too part episode you legends, I'll see you on Monday for the finale!
Cheers mates! 💜 Back to my normal routine Monday though!
Unfortunately today's intro and outro won't be the full length as my voice is shot, from being sick since last Friday 🤒 and I still have the blasted coughs. So I spent a small chunk of my day editing and remastering, whilst trying to also get some rest. My apologies to you living legends that are my Patreon supporters but I haven't had a chance to prepare my thank you's, but rest assured I should be back to normal Wednesday.
TWO episodes have been remastered for your lovely selves, and I've cut out any content that was severely damaged, re-organised the audio to ensure it was sensical (some of the episode was organised strangely), and cleaned up all the buzz/hum/static from the original audio itself. Thankfully that doesn't require any vocals on my part hehehe.
Please enjoy - A Scandal in Bohemia & The Accidental Murderess! This would be the first time that Holmes is bested....so you're in for a treat!
Thank you very much you legends, I'm off to get some much needed 😴💤💤💤
We have a wrongly identified murder in the forest, and a forest that identifies it's unfortunate target, in two Let's Not Meet stories, shared with us today. Alongside this I'm lucky to have Tom Keithley's awesome Pandemonium story for your lovely ears - and you know how I love villainous characters and this...my friends...has exactly that! Join me mates for a 👿 themed episode, and 🌲 true stories!
Mate, as always, you’re support blows me away. I’ve been messing around with new Adobe Plugins, particularly photoshop actions. Thanks to you mate I’ve been able to flex my mettle with different art styles, graphic design pieces, and also learn a couple of new tricks that I wouldn’t otherwise ever get the chance to do – thanks to your support Mayah, I’m pulling in the big techniques with a lot less effort. Thank you mate, you are the golden star in the night sky! You’re a legend!
Firing this podcast into space, and in amongst the stars. Mate thank you for your ongoing support, I’m funnelling your donations straight into production as always, which means some a new pluging for normalising audio, ensuring the peaks and troughs are balanced correctly, and so that when my Old Time Radio episode go up, you lovelies get to keep your ears, in tact, and ready for more listening. As sometimes the audio spikes and can be painful to listen to. Thanks Lezza, for helping me make this all happen!
Paige, thank you for sending your response through despite your crazy busy schedule - truly awesome of you mate! Can’t wait to sit down and respond to you myself, looking forward to it Paige 👍🏻. Mate thanks to your support Paige I’m continuing to utilise Headliner to find better ways of uploading new content but also transcribing my audio. I’m not 100% sure I'll be using Headliner to power my other forms of content but I’m definitely considering it – with a little more time I can make my choice though, and thanks to you – I have that choice. Thank you so much Paige, you’re a super star!

Thank you all you legends for your support. Now this Friday I won’t be releasing an episode as I have a family catchup, particularly to meet and discuss a cancer prognosis. This family member will undergo surgery but the surgery itself is carried out frequently, relatively common, and quite low risk.
So I’ll be spending time with them for sure, and will join you Monday, at the ready, for more Sherlock Holmes. Lot’s of love you way mates, and as always, till next, we meet...you brilliant peeps! 💜
