Welcome, my spiritual sweethearts! 👻

We kick off this week with Linda venting about her latest run-in with a nasty white van man — honestly, the spiritual energy in some of these tradesmen is diabolical. That leads us neatly into a completely unscientific but 100% accurate survey of the UK’s most miserable workers. (Van men, you’re high on the list. Sort it out.)

Then we dive into the mystical pages of Take A Break Fate & Fortune, exploring stories of people with a sixth sense — that uncanny spidey-tingle that tells you something spooky’s afoot.

From the same mag, we hear an incredible tale of a ghost saving a woman from alcoholism. A true spirit intervention! 🍷✨

But the big one this week is a powerful, emotional story from Dave Granville — a listener who sent in a letter so packed with spiritual twists, family secrets and chills, we just had to talk to him on Zoom.

And as if the spirits weren’t done, we then hear from Kelly Rickard, who contacted us to say she’d experienced the very same haunting Dave described only last week. The spirit world is clearly on a group chat.

Then it’s time for a bit of problem solving — everything from ghostly nuisances to relationship confusion. You send them in, we dig through the ectoplasm for answers.

And to top it all off, Barry from Watford pops in to promote his latest Buckle Up with Barry episode — featuring none other than Matt Lucas. Find it on TalkSport or wherever you get your podcasts, and do give it a listen… if only to hear Barry go wildly off-topic, as usual.

Hello, my spectral sweethearts! 👻

We open this week with Linda reliving a recent accident (don’t worry, she’s still upright) before launching into her latest travel saga — involving a very questionable restaurant/hotel combo she’s managed to book. You’ll want to bring your own cutlery... and maybe a priest.

It jogged a memory for me about my dear old parents — who once stayed in what turned out to be a full-blown brothel. Can I prove it? No. Do I need to? Absolutely not. The red lighting and mirrored ceilings said it all.

Then from Take A Break Fate & Fortune, we read a tale involving a vanishing… something. Possibly an Innuit? Possibly just an ice ghost. Either way, it’s a chilling one. That’s followed by a spooky sleepover tale that had me double-checking my cupboard doors.

Next, an email from Livvy May, who had a brush with the spirit world via an Ouija board (classic mistake). We get her on Zoom to hear the full ghostly download firsthand.

Then it’s time to solve more of your problems, spiritual and otherwise — some of them very human, some of them worryingly spectral.

We also hear from Stuart Harle in Blyth, who has a spooky story of his own, and then Barry from Watford pops up to promote the latest episode of his TalkSport podcast, Buckle Up with Barry, this time featuring Matt Berry. That’s right — actual Matt Berry, not a paranormal impersonator.

Then, it’s goodbyes all round and a track to see us out from Glowe, courtesy of Sundown Studios.

Welcome back, my loves – another week, another batch of spirits, stories, and deeply questionable fashion choices.

We kick off with Linda talking about her clothes (as usual), and I admit that my everyday wardrobe is a far cry from my stagewear. Let’s just say the spiritual energy doesn’t extend to my laundry basket.

Then we’re back to Betty Boo again. I think Linda’s angling to become her tour psychic.

Spooky tales roll in fast this week:

👻 First, a chilling nursing experience from Anne Bristoe

👻 Then a ghostly moment from Dallas Weeks

👻 And a story from Chris Cairns

Plus, we get an email from Sid Jaffa – yes, that is the name provided. Whether it’s real or not, the vibes were strong.

From Fate & Fortune, we share a story about a ghost child who goes on holiday with a family. Free travel? Not bad for the undead.

Then we hear from Ari Young with a cracking ghost story of their own, followed by an email from someone in Nottingham – I’ve bleeped the name, just to be safe. They know what they did.

We’re back again with Chris Cairns for a second spooky helping, and then a return from the fabulous Sandrea Mosses for another instalment of A Day in the Afterlife. You’ll want to take notes — it’s very detailed up there.

Finally, a quick word from Barry from Watford, promoting Buckle Up with Barry, his new podcast on TalkSport. If you’ve not heard it yet, give it a search on your favourite podcast app or find it directly on TalkSport. There’s plenty of Barry nonsense to go round.

Linda’s had a promotion! Yes, she’s now in charge of… stationery. Or something. She's really climbing the ranks of spiritual admin — big time now.

Then we hear from Heath McStay, who drops us a message from the beyond (well, the inbox), before heading into the hills of Wales for a recording with Dave Granville — topped off with a spooky little addendum you’ll want to hear.

From there, it’s time for some Bitesize Shivers – first, about a therapist, and then about dreams that predict the future. Eerie stuff, and just vague enough to apply to everyone.

We chat about therapy in general. Have you ever had any? I tried once… but the spirits kept interrupting.

Then we dive into the unsettling sensation of bad vibes — you know when you walk into a room and your soul wants to moonwalk straight back out again? That.

Next, we hear from the marvellous Dilly Campbell, who’s got a spooky story of her own to share.

Then it’s back to the oracle: Take a Break Fate & Fortune gives us a proper spiritual conundrum to solve. We do our best. (No guarantees.)

And for something a bit different — a ghostly tale from none other than Fortean Times, all about Hiroshima. Powerful stuff.

We round off, as ever, with Barry from Watford, promoting the latest episode of his talkSPORT podcast Buckle Up with Barry. Spirits willing, he’ll stay on topic this time…

Welcome back, my spiritual sweethearts! 🌙

This week, Linda talks about going to see the iconic Betty Boo live—and I share a few tales of hobnobbing with 80s stars myself. The spirits of pop are alive and well! 🎤

Linda also reveals she recently bumped into a psychic who turned out to be a fan of our podcast—proof that even the spirit world needs a giggle.

Then, we get into the absolute horrors of badly behaved gig audiences. Imagine trying to channel powerful energies... while some woman is having a full-on conversation about her casserole! Honestly, what chance have I got?

Linda shares she’s got a job interview lined up—Head of Stationery, no less. Talent like that doesn’t come along every day, my loves. I just hope the pens are spiritually aligned.

We then dive into memories of the bad old days at school, and how often kids are overlooked when they have something real to say. Spirits know—some teachers could’ve used a good haunting.

Next, an email from Chloe Goodhall sparks a bit of supernatural chat, before we drift into Flight of Fancy and Astral Travel from Fate & Fortune—the idea of whizzing about on the astral plane without Ryanair getting involved.

We hear a story from Diana Levy—whom I talk to live on the line. It goes a little off the rails towards the end, but that's all part of the charm when you’re dealing with tales from beyond!

After that, it’s time for problem-solving:

🧁 A listener struggling with overeating

🤔 "Why is she so secretive?"

💔 Choosing between two men (the spirits are no help with dating either, it turns out)

Then, Barry from Watford pops up to promote Buckle Up with Barry. This week, he chats with Ally McCoist and Alan Brazil—a meeting of minds in Barry's cab. Catch Barry’s show on TalkSport or wherever you get your podcasts.

And we round out the episode with an excellent (and very real!) ghostly interview with Michaela Thorn—a spooky corker you won’t want to miss.

Welcome back, my spectral spectators! 👓👻

This week we open with Linda talking about Easter festivities and the bold decision to pick out new specs. She’s now officially seeing the world through an even more sceptical lens.

Then we’re joined via Zoom by Charlotte De’Allie, sharing her spooky story firsthand—brace yourself for goosebumps!

From there, we leap into Cornered by a Ghost from the legendary Fate & Fortune magazine. Don’t worry, we don’t just read—we act. Yes, impressions ensue. Possibly award-winning. Possibly not.

Then it’s Beyond the Veil, also from Fate & Fortune—where things get even spookier, if you can believe it.

We also hear from the wonderful Tracy Graham, returning with another story to chill the soul.

After that, it’s a flurry of problems from the magazine pile—everything from haunted to hopeless. Linda and I attempt to apply spiritual wisdom... or at least common sense.

Then comes a rather odd tangent—Katy Perry, astronauts, and the theory that we might actually be sent from the future. Listen, you’ll just have to go with us on this one.

More spooky problems follow, sparking a classic chat about holiday romances. Sun, sangria, and supernatural misunderstandings…

We then Zoom with Neil Mattocks, who shares a proper corker of a ghost story, before diving into The Face at the Window, yet another unnerving tale from Fate & Fortune.

To wrap up, we drop in a quick promo for Buckle Up with Barry, featuring Darren Bent. That’s Barry from Watford’s latest talkSPORT adventure—catch it every Friday wherever you get your podcasts.

My spectral spectators! 🌙

We kick off this week with Linda recounting her recent end of term party at college. A wild night of fizz, dodgy nibbles and possibly a few spirits (of the liquid kind).

Then we're straight into a classic from Take a Break Fate & Fortune — the tale of a lucky duck charm. Could a tiny duck trinket really change your destiny? Well… stranger things have happened on this podcast.

We’ve also got a proper mix of spooky contributions this week, starting with an interview with Ella Gardner, who shares her eerie encounter.

More spectral nonsense from Take a Break Fate & Fortune follows — this time it’s a haunted Land Rover. Honestly, the scariest thing about that is probably the fuel consumption.

Then I’m joined by Lucy Lavery, executive producer at TalkSport, who’s got a ghostly tale of her own to share. No sports chat here — just things that go bump in the studio.

From Chat, It’s Fate magazine, we couldn’t resist reading a story with the unforgettable headline: Paranormal Pornstars. Yep… apparently even the afterlife’s got OnlyFans.

Then another TalkSport visitor — Sam Harries joins me to share spooky stories from his own life, including a very unsettling moment involving dead hands at the end of his bed. No thank you!

And to round things off, a little teaser from Barry from Watford and his chat with football legend Gabi Agbonlahor on his new TalkSport podcast.

As ever — plenty of laughs, a few shivers, and just the right amount of spiritual nonsense.

My spectral spectators, welcome back! 🌙

Linda's gone full telly addict this week — obsessed with Married at First Sight Australia... a show I’m convinced was summoned from some kind of chaotic spirit realm. From there, we fall deep into Naked Attraction chat (steady!) and come up with some brilliant new reality TV formats of our own. Believe me, this is why Linda gets paid the big bucks — all £7 an hour of them.

Then we chat about my recent trip to Amsterdam... to watch our very own Glowe perform. Turns out, the welcome over there for us Brits these days is... well, frosty. I'll tell you all about it.

This week’s spooky contributions come from all over — starting with Tara Burns, who sent in an article about a tarot curse (I’m sure we’ve seen this one before, but the spirits like a repeat).

Then a ghostly tale from Kaz Hazelwood… followed by an interview with Tracey Graham about things that go bump in the night.

We chat about our upcoming shows too:

👻 Sunday Séance at The 100 Club — 7th Sept

🎙️ Cheerful Earful Podcast Festival — 19th Oct

Come see us live! Spirits willing…

More chills as we read from Life Saving Spirit in Take A Break Fate & Fortune… and I chat to Archie Orme — that's right, the lad from Glowe’s band — about his very own spooky experience.

Plus — a little bonus this week — the trailer for Barry from Watford’s brand new podcast on talkSPORT, including a clip of Barry chatting to Watford legend Troy Deeney. Lovely stuff.
