(10 mins) Another fairytale is here for our listeners: an old favourite by the Brothers Grimm, read by Steven Georgiadis. It’s a story about the Grim Reaper and his godson, and is a wonderful listen. Enjoy!

(18 mins) For all of our fans of horror and the ominous, today’s podcast is a reading of H P Lovecraft’s 1922 short story, “The Hound”. The story follows two grave robbers, and their encounter with an eldritch canine guardian. Read by the wonderful J. McAteer.

(20 mins) Welcome back to the Someone New podcast! We’re reading old stories and fables, and today we have a reading of the original fairytale by Hans Christian Anderson, in which an ugly ‘duckling’ tries to find his way in the world.

(9 mins) Our month of new texts and voices is done, but we’ve still got our submissions coming in! So please welcome the talent that is taking part in our new project: we’re making a series of fairytales and short stories for all ages, classics and obscures, with the excellent voices that we’re fortunate to know. For this first instalment, please welcome Emma Wood, with her reading of the classic Grimm’s tale, “Rapunzel”.

We’re thirty one days in, 30 episodes in, 400 viewers in, and we wanted to take this time to thank and congratulate all of our contributors and supporters!

We’re in for a poetry treat today, with readings of poems old and new: first up, “Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came” by Robert Browning, read by Ryan O’Connor, and then Jonathan Lukins recites “Sonnet #10: Len[t]” by Samuel Giddy and “The Dawning Light” by Joseph Chapman. Enjoy!

Today’s podcast is a wonderful and fun short play: “Crepuscular Moons”, by Kaia Constanza! A short and silly play about magic and botany, voiced by Joanna Lusty and Ryan O’Connor. Enjoy!

Today’s podcast is a collection of readings: a rendition of the sonnet, “Towards Sincerity” by Samuel Giddy, read by Esther Wong; a monologue entitled “Lucifer’s Tale”, from Things My Mother Never Told Me by Leo Taylor, read by James Bowman; and a reading of “The Cats of Ulthar” by H P Lovecraft, delivered by Jonathon McAteer. Enjoy!

Whoo! We’re three weeks in, and with over 300 listens - it’s a nice little milestone before we pack up for Easter break! This is just a short message today, to say thank you to all of our contributors, listeners, and supporters. You’ve made these dark days brighter.

A treat before the Easter break: a story, told from the perspective of the senses (“A Sense of Time” by Hayden Brice, performed by Jonathan Lukins), a poem about love and self-worth (“Love Poem II” by Alex Medland, read by Liana Skewes), and the account of dog going to Heaven (“Customer Review” by Joanna Lusty and Ryan O’Connor). Enjoy!
