Robbie Williams can still hit those notes :-)

The third (and final?) part of The Mind Children is out NOW. Dave is contacted by a listener and drives to deepest Somerset on the trail of the elusive creator of forgotten, missing-believed-wiped 70s TV series The Mind Children... on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and at listenwithother.co.uk

Will Mr Maker stand too? As good a chance as anyone

I do enjoy making noise for these short stories :-)

This is a masterful piece of storytelling, that would appeal to anyone with an interest in the origins of global telecommunications, and an ear for a shocking tale. Giles writes his own short stories then turns them into beautifully crafted multi-part tales. Tales of the Unexpected for 2026.

The final part of Tomorrow Never Knows is now live as a bank holiday treat. As the big vote approaches, Kim makes a discovery about her family. Look for series 8 of Listen with Other on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and at listenwithother.co.uk #podcast #writing #audiobook

I started Listen with Other as a reaction against a news story about AI-geneated podcasts. It now has 7 stories told over 19 episodes, featured a guest author @raynewman.bsky.social and original music by Ray and @leesparey.bsky.social. listenwithother.co.uk #podcasts #fiction #writing #audiobooks

Really loving the 'Listen with Other' anthology series. Fantastic spooky and strange stories. The latest instalment by General Witchfinders Zine alum @raynewman.bsky.social was fantastic - highly recommended. The music and soundscapes really blew me away. Listen now podlink.com/1842661048/e...

My friend and former BBC colleague Ben Honeybone made a splendid film last year about the architecture and history of Catford and neighbouring parts of the London Borough of Lewisham. Highly recommended, now available in 4K.
