One Last Time by Janice Sampson

While a backyard tree bellows silently in the wind; Barbara Knox attends her husband David’s crematorium service. Naturally she is sad but also secretly, a little angry.  You see, there are unresolved issues between the two of them and questions that still remain unanswered.

However as we will soon discover; David’s story isn’t yet over. He needs her help and somehow he finds a way to turn back to Barbara, back to her glow. Just for one last time…

Dylan and Blod Talk About Dai

Dylan and Blodwyn are sat on a Welsh mountainside about to start their weekly picnic. However the picnic basket remains closed, and we can only but guess what they’ve brought along to eat. Who knows, perhaps they’ve forgotten to bring anything at all? It’s happened before.

They’ve been sat in silence for some time now. The sky remaining overcast and the air hanging heavy and thick. Suddenly; Blodwyn recalls the question she wanted to ask. The questions she knew she had to ask. She turns to Dylan and begins to speak…

Stone by Stephen Walker

Long ago when the universe was young. Alicia Harker, the Twelfth Daughter of Destiny, took the mettle of a dead god and forged it into a bronze hand. That hand would bestow good fortune on anyone who owned it. She then discarded it by a roadside, where it might be found and passed from person to person, bringing good fortune to those who’d done nothing to deserve it.

And once every hundred years, she sets out on an adventure to discover it and see what its latest beneficiary’s made of a luck so randomly granted. Well, at least that was the plan…

Unrespected!

From the legendary ‘City of Steel’ comes a little stripped down radio satire; tackling the big issues of the day with wit, wisdom and an old radio ‘Sound Effects’ LP from 1982 that we found at a car boot.

Join us as we take a deeper look at a beleaguered NHS and Rail Network. Visit the island of a crazed TV obsessed scientist, try to live life without modern technology, take a quick trip to Florida and celebrate the joys of gay marriage (and man-eating tigers) We’ll also discover more about a certain ‘Messiah Dinosaur’, take a quick visit to a charity shop and lastly go for a trip with Mrs Ravioli (who is always a pleasure to drive for)

One thing is for sure; we’re all “Unrespected!”

The Jeannie McGinnis Podcast

Life is full of stories, and whether we like it or not, they happen to us every day. Yes, these stories might sometimes turn out to be life changing events by themselves, but most of the time their impact is felt much smaller. This does not however lessen their importance. In fact, wouldn’t it be correct to say that these ‘small stories’ are the building blocks that we use to create the person we are today?

So how do you tell your own story? Well, sometimes a personal narrative can be made much easier if you create a narrator and in our new podcast; that’s exactly what Jeannie McGinnis has done. She uses the character of ‘Kathyrn McKenzie’ to tell her diverse stories, ranging from the alluring lights of beauty pageants to a descent into the murky shadows of the Red Light District. From ‘Alaska to Texas’ and ‘Irkutsk to Koh Samui’; Kathryn learns from both the mundane and the extraordinary, all the time recounting her humorous and sometimes gritty experiences.
