    Migration Announcement

    I’m Robert-Louis Abrahamson, here to thank you for all your support over the past few years of Evening under Lamplight Podcasts. We have had over 14,000 attendances, which is a pretty good number. Today I want to let you know that the Evening under Lamplight Podcasts are migrating to Substack, an impressive platform that I’ve been following for many years, and now I’m joining it. To continue to receive our podcasts, or to access older ones, you will need to sign in to the Substack URL https://api.substack.com/feed/podcast/1205469.rss. Just click the new URL, or paste it into the browser, and you can continue. I have plans for podcasts on other writers, with the aim, as always, of helping to bring to life older literature. I hope you will come along and share these fine writers with me.
