  • Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night-Dylan Thomas
    Oct 11 2024

    'Do not go gentle into that good night"
    noswaith dda from Joe as he allows himself a couple of cheeky stouts in the pub, which is fitting considering Dylan Thomas' regular habits (though Joe was in bed by 10, honest).

    The incredible reading of the poem was done this week by Welsh storyteller and podcaster Owen Staton. You can hear his voice here at the Time Between Times podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/time-between-times-storytelling-with-owen-staton/id1573244734

    The picture by Stephen Collins can be seen here: http://www.stephencollinsillustration.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/poets_smartphones_print.jpg and I highly recommend you buy it!

  • Remember-Christina Rossetti
    Sep 30 2024

    'Remember me when I am gone away
    Gone far away into the silent land'

    Joe takes an early autumn walk and remembers his wonderful father. This episode is a bit emotional, so tread with care but hopefully it brings some solace.

  • Wind-Ted Hughes
    Sep 27 2024

    'This house has been far out at sea all night'

    Hold onto your hat, it's a bit breezy. Joe goes for a stroll in the wind and explores this cracker from Ted Hughes.

    N.B: I dropped my daughter off before I went up the big hill, fear not.

    **I also gave the wrong email address, see below for the correct one**
