This week, I'm going back to basics with one of the first stories I ever told on the podcast, which also happens to be the most requested by listeners. The Dragons of Dinas Emrys is the tale that explains the origin of the Welsh flag Y Draig Goch.

This story has been with me since I was a small child and I am proud to share it whenever I get the chance and wherever there is an audience who wants to hear it.

I hope you enjoy.

Today, another fantastic story comes from the area covered by the Lost Peatlands project, at the head of the Afan Valley, which leads into the Rhondda in South Wales. It is a stunning place filled with wonderful tales.

Thomas Davies (1715-1753) known as Y Fferiaid Coch ( The Red Minister ) was a tempestuous man of the cloth who preached in various villages in the area. Stories of his exploits abound and it is said that his ghost still travels the Valley roads to this day . Have a listen as i tell some of his tales .

This week's episode is a good jumping-on episode for new Listeners. The episode starts with an overview of the format and why the podcast started and why it is presented the way it is including details of Owen's own experiences. This weeks story is a fascinating old folktale from the upper Afan Valley and Rhondda area which does feature some animal cruelty.

This week I am joined at the firepit by the wonderful Michelle Fisher the host of the Haunted History Chronicles Podcast.

Michelle and I discuss her interest in stories and the paranormal and some of the incredible experiences she has had during her life. I then tell one of her favourite stories, an amazing ghostly encounter with what could have been the Ghost of Queen Catherine Parr that was reported many years ago.

It's been a while since I've done one of these, and I was lucky enough to visit Stanton Drew recently and had an inspiring afternoon. If you need a little time out, please settle back, have a listen, and lose yourself in a magical place for a few minutes to hopefully re-energise yourself and let go of your cares for a bit.

As its Christmas, I have decided to release two episodes today and this one is a favorite tale of a ghostly legion on the Dorset coast. A tale of lost love and stormy seas that I hope you will enjoy in a few moments of quiet at the Time between Times.
