Dracula Chapter 11 The Wolf Escapes 35:19

11M ago35:19

35:19

So here is another portion of Dracula read with a singular lack of preparation or skill. As I say, it’s an acquired taste. Members of my own family don’t listen to it, so let that stand as some sort of warning to you. It’s recorded not on a wax cylinder but using the less than stellar (Stella!!!!) headset mic by audio technica which purports to hav…

Dracula: Chapter 10 - Vamp till ready. 33:11

11M ago33:11

33:11

Why do bats suddenly appear Every time you are near? Poor old Lucy! Always wanting to leave the windows open and somewhat averse to the garlic baguette that Van Helsing brandishes before her pallid fizzog. She’s arguably, in the words of 1950s magistrates, asking for it, fang-wise. But she’s certainly a fighter and submits to her arduous toilet twi…

Chapter 10: A tentative purchase! 24:17

11M ago24:17

24:17

Once again we return to the land of Bram Stoker. I was tinkering with the Audio Technica headset mic., as if you wanted to know that and then was playing with the Studio One software which is less than user friendly imo. Trying to make a stack or plugin chain that tamed the whole thing. It’s noisy and a bit echoey, and NOT my usual studio or equipm…

The Valentine's Day Massacre of Chapter 8 (into 9) Dracula 32:39

1+ y ago32:39

32:39

Well, look: I was in a comfy chair and that's perhaps why this episode is a little lacklustre. There is literally nothing to recommend it. Perhaps making Seward a bit more estuary is enjoyable for me, but makes little sense. You can't really imagine the Westenras having him over to shoot or hunt, but who knows? Lucy does sound like she plays the fi…

Dracula Chapter 7 into Chapter 8. 47:33

47:33

Greetings All. We continue in our halting attempt to drag ourselves through Bram Stoker's classic work and we've got to the section where Lucy Westenra is getting a little bit anaemic. Who knows why? And Wilhelmina Murray berates herself for using a big safety pin near Lucy's neck. Safety pins can be dangerous! So, we press on! And as Spring ushers…

Chapter 7 Part 2 The Captain's Log and Sundry Other Stuff 31:16

31:16

We're on the high seas on board the ill omened Demeter. There are some funny boxes below decks with some rather innocent contents (according to Turkish Customs) and lots of disappearances at night. The crew is made up of Russians and Roumanians. The Captain has lashed himself to Tenille and there's something a bit rum about the rum. Recorded with t…

Well, Happy New Year 2023! Apparently and this is according to the stats, (so we're all fully on board with their likely veracity, aren't we?), I am now followed by a dozen regular listeners. Fair dinkum. I didn't get into this podcast game for popularity: I was only ever motivated by narcissism. However, we push on because of reasons. I don't like…

Perhaps Mina is the one who is the stranger at the Westenras and is waiting for news from Jonathan Harker?

She bumps into the tedious old bloke up at the Abbey once again and chats about this and that, especially the morbid humour of said bloke. He apo…

Back again with a bit more about Renfield. It's approaching tea time here at Wagland Towers so my mind is elsewhere. Can you tell? Renfield too has got his mind on his unconventional dinner.

Been a while. Not really enjoying The Fall of the House of Usher, but I guess I'll drag my way to the end of it.
