    S6 | E1: A Passing Opportunity

    S6 | E1: A Passing Opportunity

    It's the start of a new era... the (much missed) Robless chapter, but a new chapter at least. Damo and Chris dig out the notepad and pens, and get stuck into this return to form, potentially Norwich based, tale.

    With regular features like:


    too much ramble
    lots of nonsense
    and a flagrant disregard for the interest of listeners

    Settle down for nearly 2 hours of mobsters and opinion.

    Dr. Terror's House of Horrors - part 3

    Dr. Terror's House of Horrors - part 3

    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.

    Dr. Terror's House of Horrors - part 2

    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.

    Thriller: Lady Killer pt2 (Pre-season special)

    Thriller: Lady Killer pt2 (Pre-season special)

    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

    Thriller: Lady Killer pt1 (Pre-season special)

    Thriller: Lady Killer pt1 (Pre-season special)

    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.
