@feedspotblog @_feedspot Thank you very much!

@TasteGeorgia @hels @InDeepGeek Thanks very much! The Well Told Tale is my place for narrating classic works of sci-fi, fantasy and speculative fiction. In Deep Geek is for insight and debate, with a lot of LOTR and ASOIAF topics covered. But yes, I’m British on both of them 😀

Third time unlucky, the finale of “Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom” has been delayed. It’ll be coming out as soon as we can fix some problems. Please bare with us!

The gremlin problem seems to have got to the recording equipment now so unfortunately, this week’s episode will not be available today. Fear not, we’ll get it sorted ASAP.

[The Well Told Tale @TheWellToldTale]

The gremlins appear to have gotten into YouTube’s system so we’re having some trouble bringing you the latest episodes of @doctorow’S fantastic “Down & Out in the Magic Kingdom” on there. If you can’t wait, the podcast is still running gremlin-free on all major platforms.

Well that was fun. We finished our first journey into Deathworld this week - you can find the finale here if you missed it: https://t.co/V8iInRLlM3. We may well return to Harry Harrison’s trilogy in due course. But this week’s Tale will take us to a very different land indeed.

We’re taking a little break this week, which means you will have to wait ANOTHER week for the next exciting episode of “Deathworld” by Harry Harrison. If you missed last week’s episode, you can catch up here: https://t.co/jOdsk5ZDMZ

The oppressive summer weather may make it feel like hostile terrain out there, but it’s nothing compared to the setting for our latest Tale, ‘Deathworld’ by Harry Harrison. https://t.co/2TyQE2BeI8 #scifi

Our latest Tale is from the Arabian Nights - ‘Sinbad the Sailor’. In this first part, we hear what happened on the first three of his famous seven voyages. Expect ogres, giant birds, and more than one desert island... https://t.co/1rMK2gpJm5 #sinbad #arabiannights #adventure

This week we have a charming one-off Tale from legendary writer Oscar Wilde, “The Devoted Friend”. Wilde wrote a few short stories that could be described as fairytales, and this is one such morality tale. Or is it? https://t.co/2hXG3UJ48h

[The Well Told Tale @TheWellToldTale]

This is by no means the end of the story... the last part of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz will be available tomorrow, so catch up with the last moments of the Wicked Witch of the West now: https://t.co/d2bNVhKkOJ
