  • Strange Stories : Scandal at Eton College, MI5 investigate Tallulah Bankhead.
    May 28 2024

    1920s in the UK the Authorities were worried about the behaviour of some of the young people who were later called 'The Bright Young things'. The Establishment were worried about nightclubs, dancing and drinking and the Home Secretary was determined to do something about it. When he found out about a scandal at Eton College where boys were supposedly being seduced by actresses, he was determined to make an example of Tallulah Bankhead, an American actress who seemed to be pleased to be called the most immoral woman in the world.

  • Strange Stories UK : Madness and murder in Swanage, Dorset.
    May 19 2024

    I am posting this short podcast as the podcasts that I have been working on have become rather complicated, I will finish and broadcast them later. One is about corruption in the Metropolitan police force in London during the 1970s, the other is a paranormal case.
    I have started and completed this short podcast on a rainy Sunday in May 2024. The story comes from 1973 from Swanage in Dorset. I would imagine it is largely forgotten now. It is recorded in one take without editing. One mistake I realised was that I mentioned a phone call being the price of the average woman’s wage in 1973, what I had not made clear was this referred to aweekly weekly wage as a twenty minute phone call would have been about £25

  • Strange Stories: The monster of the mere and other huge UK freshwater fish,
    May 2 2024

    What is the largest fish caught in British freshwaters and are they dangerous? This episode is about a huge creature that lived in Martin Mere that was said to feed on swans! Some of the podcast is rather silly but all of it true.
    There is a Slightly boring opening about geological features, folklore and drainage systems, this lasts about five minutes, so maybe skip that part.
    As usual please be warned this is a lo fi production by someone that often stumbles over words and records in one take without any editing.
