Transcript

The podcast is usually a reading of an essay from our archives, but this being October, we thought you deserved a trick and, hopefully, a treat.

Every Halloween, our editor

Tobias Sturt

writes a creepy short story, so our podcast this month is a reading of this year’s: A Ghost Walk.

Our theme music is Otra vez by friend of the show S F Gallardo, who you can find on Spotify and Bandcamp

You can find more of Tobias’ Halloween stories on YouTube:
