Behind The Curtain At “Reading Between The Lines”


podcast

This week, we released a very special episode of our story podcast, “Reading Between The Lines”.

It was our pilot episode, recorded late last year to demonstrate what we could do . . . and how we could turn our idea into a hit!

We didn’t have terribly good microphones, but that didn’t matter, because no one was going to hear it.

Except . . .

We enjoyed “The MacPeever Wrangles: The Burglar” by AP Macdonald so much, we really wanted to share it with you! Plus, Barry from the DC Thomson Archives uncovered a gem in his research for the episode, as he so often does. And it would be a shame to keep it to ourselves!

So, hopefully you’ll forgive the audio quality, and agree with us it was worth releasing!

Our sponsor

The pilot was recorded before we landed friendship society the Oddfellows as our sponsor, too. But we’re sure they’ll like it!

Although it’s obviously a little tongue-in-cheek (well, very tongue-in-cheek!), it’s full of the kind of warmth that’s at the heart of what the Oddfellows does for its members.

We were pleased to hear that some of those members have been listening to the podcast, and even getting together online to talk about the episodes!
