The Grand Podcast Launch

[Barbara]

Yayaya!

Short Story Hunters has finally launched, so please put the kettle on, brew a cuppa, and join Jonny and myself for a dose of escapism.

short story hunters

The best short (and we mean short) podcast about… short stories. Every show features three little jewels… give us ten minutes, and we’ll give you a world of stories.

We hope you'll tune in every week, and we look forward to showcasing your stories.

 

[Emily]

I'm going to have a cup of coffee and a listen shortly. WELL DONE @Barbara and @Jonny

 

[Emily]

Just listened, perfect length of time while you sip your hot beverage!! It was wonderful, well done again. Looking forward to next week's installment (and now I feel I should make a cake.... Sponge? Chocolate? Sponge?!)

 

[RK Wallis]

Chocolate, lol! Great show guys. Great stories!

 

[Hannah F]

Sponge. Enjoyed that. I find just audio very difficult to concentrate on for long, but 10 minutes was fine. Great show, guys. Enjoyed the banter too,

 

[Jonny]

and now I feel I should make a cake.... Sponge? Chocolate? Sponge?!

There is only one possible answer, Emily. A chocolate sponge with loads of fresh cream filling.

I noticed an improvement this time. Hard to say what it was but more relaxed I guess. Well Done!!!!
Despite listening really hard I didn't hear my name so you can forget the Guinness, chocolate and wine!

Would you like a shout out? We can take requests.

 

[Emily]

We can take requests

My birthday is in a few weeks. Could ye, perhaps, sing Happy Birthday a cappela?

 

[Barbara]

I can't sing. I won't sing. Not even for cake. Jonny is the musician ....

But I can serve you cake on the show. Will that be acceptable?

 

[Emily]

That would be *perfect*

 

[Jonny]

sing Happy Birthday a cappela?

Not Emily, then?

Although a capella does scan nicely?

Happy birth-day a-capella. Happy Birthday to yooooooooooo.

 

[Steve C]

It's actually not a bad idea. A couple of titbits of 'Litopia News' wouldn't be out of place slotted in somewhere.
Happy birthday to Emily and hopefully Steve is recovering from his latest hangover

 

[Emily]

Happy birthday to Emily and hopefully she and Steve are recovering from their hangovers

 

[Nikky Lee]
