This is a podcast of conversations with interesting people who I have encountered. It complements my blog https://mark-charlton.com. The name of the podcast is inspired by Hunter S Thompson's collection of stories described as 'strange tales from a strange time'. I bought the book prior to developing a life-changing illness caused by a colloid cyst growing on my brain I was recuperating in August 2021, when Boscombe beach was cleared after a shark was spotted in the water. So that was the inspiration - strange tales from a strange time and being unable to think of anything better!

    Headway - helping people recover from brain injuries

    This podcast is an opportunity to understand a little bit more about the charity Headway. I interviewed Ruth Johnson, Marketing and Engagement Executive for Leicestershire, Leicester & Rutland Headway. It was a chance for me to express my gratitude for the support they have given me so far as I recover from a Colloid Cyst which required surgery on my brain and a lengthy recovery process. It is also a chance to promote Headway's Christmas appeal called “Sheadway” which launches on Tuesday November 30. Any cash donations made between that point and 7 December 2021 will be doubled. More details can be found here: https://www.headwayleicester.org.uk
