 My ancestry DNA results are in... on my father's side: pure Viking/Scandinavian all the way through - on my mother's side: 25% Welsh, 25% Spanish & 50% Tuareg - I suppose that explains why I've always favoured the colour blue...
 Yes, of course you are welcome to submit your own music to the Americana Music Radio Show – that's how we discover new talent although given the pressure on time (we only have 59 minutes) there's no guarantee we'll be able to play it. However, a few brief guidelines...
* You can physically submit music on a CD – use the Oak Lodge contact address you'll find in the footer of this page. * You can also submit music digitally as an MP3 file (or files) BUT PLEASE DO NOT send the MP3 as an email attachment (it will kill our internet) instead email it as a WeTransfer, Dropbox or similar link that we can then download. And NOTE: MP3 files only. * Also include some short biographical notes about you, the track (is it a taster track from an album etc) and any social media links you have, so we can fully promote it. Thank you!  The first episode of my new Americana Music Radio Show drops today on A1 Radio at 4pm UK (repeats 6pm Friday) – we've tracks from The Highwomen, Neil Young & Crazy Horse + an interview & tracks from Sam Coe – and much more. Listen online via TuneIn Radio & at www.a1radio.co.uk
 There's an old saying, familiar to anyone who has ever used public transport in London, that there is never a bus when you want one – and then along come three at once. And so it is proving with my writing activities: nothing to report for months and then along come three pieces of news...
First off my creative writing guide – Writing Genre Fiction: Creating Imaginary Worlds – The 12 Rules – has just clocked up its 10,000th sale on Amazon Kindle. Secondly, I'm now writing a short ebook on Anglo-Saxon history – called Saints & Sinners – for Ancient Origins. As you might guess, this features lots of Dark Age naughtiness in the old Saxon kingdoms of England. More details to follow but this will be published in the autumn of 2019. Thirdly and finally, I've also signed contracts with another publisher to write a more substantial book looking at the folklore and legends of parts of East Anglia. This will not be appearing until late 2020/early 2021 however once again the objective will be to combine serious history and weird tales with an element of fun.
 I'm thrilled to announce that in addition to going out as weekly podcast on multiple platforms (you can hear it wherever you listen to podcasts) the Weird Tales Radio Show is now available on three internet radio stations... Las Vegas-based KCOR Digital Radio Network (Thursdays) + UK paranormal station Pulse Talk Radio (Tuesdays 6pm) + starting today (Sunday 28 July) at 7pm on Smart Radio GY These three channels now give Weird Tales the broadest reach of any UK paranormal radio show.
Pulse Talk Radio is live-streaming the latest episode at 6pm (UK) today (Tuesday) - you can listen via their onsite player or via the Tune-In app. https://pulsetalkradio.com/ |

In Episode 81 of the Weird Tales Radio Show we talk to Kit Lewis about next month’s Fear in the Fens Festival – the headline guest is Wiccan legend Maxine Sanders – and there is a chance to win two FREE tickets to the event + we look at the folklore of Weybourne + we have more magick spells + a possible origin for the Wicker Man + we ask if the Dutch really did once eat a Prime Minister who disagreed with them? + we learn what happens if you try to raise the ghost of Sir Walter Calverley. And the DNA results are in - Charles is half Viking & half Tuareg!
