So here is another portion of Dracula read with a singular lack of preparation or skill. As I say, it’s an acquired taste. Members of my own family don’t listen to it, so let that stand as some sort of warning to you.It’s recorded not on a wax
Why do bats suddenly appearEvery time you are near?Poor old Lucy! Always wanting to leave the windows open and somewhat averse to the garlic baguette that Van Helsing brandishes before her pallid fizzog. She’s arguably, in the words of 1950s ma
Once again we return to the land of Bram Stoker.I was tinkering with the Audio Technica headset mic., as if you wanted to know that and then was playing with the Studio One software which is less than user friendly imo. Trying to make a stack o

Well, look: I was in a comfy chair and that's perhaps why this episode is a little lacklustre.  There is literally nothing to recommend it.  Perhaps making Seward a bit more estuary is enjoyable for me, but makes little sense.  You can't really
Greetings All.  We continue in our halting attempt to drag ourselves through Bram Stoker's classic work and we've got to the section where Lucy Westenra is getting a little bit anaemic. Who knows why? And Wilhelmina Murray berates herself for u
We're  on the high seas on board the ill omened Demeter.  There are some funny boxes below decks with some rather innocent contents (according to Turkish Customs) and lots of disappearances at night.  The crew is made up of Russians and Roumani
Well, Happy New Year 2023!  Apparently and this is according to the stats, (so we're all fully on board with their likely veracity, aren't we?), I am now followed by a dozen regular listeners.  Fair dinkum.  I didn't get into this podcast game
Perhaps Mina is the one who is the stranger at the Westenras and is waiting for news from Jonathan Harker?  Her chum Lucy is sleep-walking again which is probably not the best problem to have at this time.  She bumps into the tedious old bloke
Back again with a bit more about Renfield.  It's approaching tea time here at Wagland Towers so my mind is elsewhere. Can you tell?Renfield too has got his mind on his unconventional dinner. That big juicy bluebottle especially.A bit more of Dr
It's Mina's journal and she's on holiday in Whitby with the Westenras enjoying the view from up the Abbey, with a saveloy and a bag of scraps. She's chatting to a centenarian about the gravestones and foreshadowing some gothic terrors ahead.Hop
It's all an outrageous and satanic scam, isn't it? Built on fear and coercion. But let's get back to Dracula... This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit gregwaglan
'This man should know better.  He sounds well advanced in age and yet he appears to be making a monkey, not only of himself, but of his audience to boot.' Evadne McKinch, Abertay Services.Just one of several flattering comments from listeners a
Never record when you're not in the mood.  Say after me...Well, it's true.  It's not terrible but nor is it good.  It's the one about those 'less than hot' birds at the Big D's gaff.Stay crazy! This is a public episode. If you would like to dis
It's the Children of the Night one.  Once again, apologies to Romanian gymnastic coaches...A Beyerdynamic M201 is not just for Christmas.  Nor is the RodeCASTER Pro.More root canal Monday - can you tell? This is a public episode. If you would l
Welcome listener to 2021.  Scream if you want to get off!  Or perhaps you'd rather wait for the anaphylactic shock and/or govt. compo!And with a raging toothache I bring you yet another unasked for chapter from a classic public domain work.  Th
The dystopian novel for our times.  Nothing much to laugh at here.Now in the public domain across the world - except in the U.S.A quick New Year's Day recording. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers
Been a while.  Not really enjoying The Fall of the House of Usher, but I guess I'll drag my way to the end of it.  As the world holds its breath re: current affairs over the Pond, we find that Madeline Usher is less than well and could perhaps
Well.  Hello again.Taken a little while to decide what classic to read next - so this is a short diversion into Edgar Allan Poe land.  Not sure his lugubrious diversions entirely suit my lugubrious diversions - possibly too many lugubrious dive
Hi listener - it's been rollercoaster hasn't it?  Well, a rollercoaster in the dystopian present in which we all live: it's not working and overgrown with moss and there, in the distance, emerging from the sand like a Colossus is the lichen cov
The lesson here is: don't feel pressured to record a chapter when you're simply not in da mood.  That way madness and badness lies.However, someone may find something of value here - others will merely recoil at my rather grumpy approach to the
Well, those apemen are annoyed, as are the cave guys.  I don't see it ending well.  It might involve The Old Bamboo.The end is nigh and we will push on until we get there.Thanks for listening!G This is a public episode. If you would like to dis
Gloomy day, and those apemen and small red tribesmen aren't helping.  Still, Zambo's still okay.There's a lot of Lord Roxton.  Ugh!Good luck, you're going to need it. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscr
