And now the end is near...I've certainly bitten off more than I can chew at this time of the morning, so wish me luck as we head towards our very own Reichenbach Falls armed with only a small sack of novelty inflatables. Bit husky (as Robert
78% of the book. Are we weighing it like a greedy greengrocer, like a peckish Greg Wallace? Answer: yes. It's been a long journey and finally through the mist we spot the hound.A dachshund, a tiny but loveable fur-baby? No, it's Stapleton's l
Well, never mind the quality - feel the width.I've outdone myself here, certainly in terms of time. 50+ minutes. It occurs to me that the actual speaking bit may be entirely superfluous. Just press the red button and leave the room - Once ag
Sherlock - where the devil is he?I drag my way through this chapter with little of my former joie de vivre. Apols to avid listeners but feeling a tad lacklustre. Must be a combination of world news and the shock of my gas meter reading . St
A curate's egg this one with me talking into a large-ish foam square with an old but rather good Thomann condenser mic. Don't think it touches the echo of this room. Lots of clicks and rather consumptive breathing sadly - a cross between one
It's too late to be recording this stuff. So if you're expecting a finely made Faberge egg or even a bottle of Brut by Faberge you're in for a bit of a disappointment. However, I have, as usual, dragged myself through a whole chapter of The H
So we push on (once more) towards the sunlit uplands - or at least the moonlit uplands of the craggy moorlands and sucky fens of Devonshire. Selden, the vegan convict, is up there with his little torch and a unquenchable hankering for sausage r
Once again, and sooner than might be reasonably expected, we rejoin Sir Henry and Watson down on Dartmoor for a tad more Hound peppered with the usual ad hoc tomfoolery. Perhaps this time it's tipped over into unalloyed madness - but bearing in
Like pulling teeth only this time with the redoubtable AT875r in a very echoey space. Shotgun dentistry.But nevertheless, despite these technical impediments, we dragged ourselves through a whole chapter, discussed footpaths and other rights
Well, with an unwonted burst of energy I nearly manage a whole chapter. If I was recording this on the summit of K2 without oxygen or sherpas then this might be considered an achievement but as I'm at sea level with nearly all my faculties the
Greetings HundliebhaberWell that's what Google translate says anyway.It's always a little hard to get going after the New Year but I give you now my tentative resumption of I Digress: Hound.Not the most successful of my podcasts and that's a
Well, folks, we plough on regardless.A bit of Conan Doyle describing the journey to Baskerville Hall by young Sir Henry, Watson and Doctor what-ever-his-name-is with the curious Tri-County accent.A touch of illness over Christmas would have b
Happy Christmas loyal listeners!Here I wonder about the tyranny of saying Ikea correctly and the difficulty of getting hold of a small quantity of bread sauce when it's actually remarkably easy to make.PLUS the full and complete recording of
Well.Here's another. And with the best will in the world, well perhaps not the best will, I embarked on this chapter and didn't get very far.I did however digress and stray into the verboten territory of criticising the smart meter: what a bo
Actually the Newsnight 'vicar' and the drugs scene at Bestival do not feature in this episode. It's just clickbait really to reduce my age demographic down into the millennial zone. Don't hold your breath, especially you octogenarians!Anyhoo,
Greetings, brave warriors! Don't be nervous - pop down your pilae and step inside for a brew.Well, look, here's the thing. Here we are once again for more Conan Doyle madness in which I continue to wander away from the text of this meisterwerk
In which I continue my unprepared stagger through the Hound, pausing for deep breaths every 4 seconds and giving voice to every thought, demi thought and wisp of cerebral activity that floats through the Big Sky Country that is my brain. Thanks
Well, it's continuing apace - perhaps not apace, but it lives, it breathes in the manner of Frankenstein's monster.I try to read the text without being diverted and drawn off-piste.I can't remember what joys and woes are contained within this
I continue the push towards base camp - but unfortunately the gods of deviation and digression are hot on my tale (sic). So rather than ploughing a straight furrow we're off round the houses once again, talking sausages and what is the correct
A comforting voice to witter on as the nights draw in. Well, failing that why not tune in to the unplanned ramblings of someone who, frankly, should know better.Aim: to read The Hound of the Baskervilles.Problem: can't quite be bothered and e
I record audiobooks and enjoy doing so, but I must confess I often want to chip in, add my own random ruminations and generally go off-piste with odd thoughts the text suggests. And understandably the publishers I work with don't find this appr
