The Tales Of The Unexpected Podcast

The train pulls into the final station! We are back for the final part of this anthology so before Season 6 can begin properly, we need to let this behemoth of a special run it's course... or track. Quick reminder for anyone just tuning in. We have a plan and we are actually back but we probably need a bit of practice and maybe you need a reminder of what they actual do. Chris and Damo decide to dust off the podcast mics, lubricate the voice boxes and watch one of those old style horror anthology movies and finally record some stuff to listen to. If you're one of the faithful, give us a few moments to get used to speaking again... if you're new, you need to be warned: This is the most exhilarating podcasts you'll ever listen to but if you were captured, taken hostage and the hostage takers demand you explain why, you won't be able to find the right words. Trust us. This three part special will be followed by season 6, so keep an eye out for business as usual style podcasts. For now, welcome to the rehearsal sessions.

This part 2 replaces the previous part 2 which I buggered up uploading. You've Damo to thank for getting it right... This is why I insist on working with proper podcasters. Keep the faith, people. ********************************************************* We are back... how the heck are you?

You'll noticed this is the second part (of two) so please catch up with part one first. As previously stated, when we started recording, the idea was purely just to practice again - so splitting up the episode was all done as an afterthought... hopefully the transition isn't as jarring as I make it out to be in my waffle.  Podcasting will resume, so hang tight - maybe eave some reviews and tell your friends too, but definitely hang tight because we're ready to record more... We LOVE this podcast so much - it's lovely to share it with you all. Speak soon x

Not so much a tale from the Tales... more a possible inspiration for what the Tales became. It's Lady Killer featuring Jesus and we decided to take on one of the episodes from Thriller - if you're a fan of TOTU, you'll love this - watch along on youtube (here's a link to the episode) if you want and it'll save you searching out the boxset online...  although, spoiler alert, we WILL be revisiting based on how this watch went - so maybe an amazon purchase would be better (I'm sure ebay could produce a result, but this link might save time) I guess the elephant in the room is our absence. At no point was did an elephant give us reason to pause recordings... however no need to dwell on it right now - I'm sure it'll come up at some point but as this was our practice session, we just wanted to get back into the rhythm (whatever the rhythm of two middle aged friends is, obviously) Well, if you're still listening to the show, that's great. We never stopped, just needed a break. Hope that's ok. Tell a friend. 

It's part 2 of our trip down the river, as we babble through Way Upstream to the dramatic conclusion. Join me and Damo for another TOTU mid season special in preparation for the season 6 start. Your patience is appreciated, and sorry I've been absent - at least you're not paying for this shite ay? Anyway - if you've any reviews to post or feedback or whatever, let us know. Thanks everyone now enjoy the show.

join me and Damo for a little change in pace to the usual TOTU specials. Its the meatiest episode we’ve ever attempted but it’s one heck of a journey… on a boat. We’ll happily be your skippers as we navigate through the treacherous waters of Way Upstream. (thanks for your patience by the way, we’re recording as we’re able so your support is, as always, incredible)

The last episode of season 5 is upon us. It's gone on for ages (S5 recordings began long before lockdowns) but this season has provided a podcast show so much closer to how I wanted the episodes to sound and feel. And we found Damo too. Every part of this has felt brilliant so the fact we have any sort of listener base is just a dream. Thank you and enjoy Skeleton Key (With Damo!)

Another painting related story. Welcome to the podcast. Only a few episodes of season 5 left and the first episode published direct to Anchor.fm, our new home.  Other than mentioning the episode includes a 5 minute (non-paid) promo right at the start for a project I've been involved in, this description serves as little more than getting used to the new controls and options I have with the new provider. Enjoy the show.

"while you're down there..."

Grabbing the family jewels

A sting in the tale

I'll have a pint of uxoricide please, Cathleen

A not so silent night

Resting witch face

theme tune spesh

All you need is glove!

investments and idiots, numbers and nonsense

You're gonna need a bigger boat

so easy... it's crazy
