Episode #33 - 13th September of the Weird Tales Radio Show is available now on all the usual podcasts platforms, including Spotify. The show contains the first part of a major interview Brendan Keane on Celtic Revivalism, the Occult and the Irish Dimension. We also have news of the latest haunting: the Ghostly Nun of Fawkham Green – don’t look in the attic, that’s where her skull is stored! And we remember the curious tales of the New York Straw Hat Riot. No, really, people did take to the streets over wearing straw boaters out of season!

Getting ready for The Late Lunch radio show

21/8/2018

0 Comments

It's my first foray as a presenter on Smart Radio GY tomorrow (Wednesday 21st) - I'll be doing (at least some of) The Late Lunch slot from 2pm to 4pm (UK).

Smart Radio is an online station so you can access it in one of four ways...

(1) via a laptop or desktop computer - just point your browser to http://www.smartradio.org.uk/ - you'll see the <PLAY> link at the top of the page.

(2) via a mobile device (smartphone or tablet) via the free Smart Radio GY app (by Waveney Apps) on Google Store for Android devices and Apple iTunes App Store for iOS (iPhone & iPad) https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/smart-radio-gy/id1360659365

(3) via services such as TuneIn Radio and Mixcloud.

And (4) by finding the grave of a witch in your local churchyard and dancing around the tombstone 13 times at midnight in a widdershins (anti-clockwise) direction.

OK, I made up that last one - you will hear something but just the sound of blood rushing around your dizzy head.

Any requests or dedications... message me at my new @CharlesChristianonSmartRadio Facebook page or via text to 44 77 86 73 81 72.

And that's it!
