'Higher than the handsomest hotel...' Joe has, through some tricky circumstances, been visiting a particular building and thinks you should wander the corridors with him. If it doesn't come through in this episode: my absolute respect for all NHS staff that keep these buildings going, and especially to the good folk at University Hospital Southampton.

'Let faxes butter-curl on dusty shelves...' Joe rings in spring by sitting in a sunny space and reads this wonderful poem for turbulent times.

Sketch Prose Oh Whistle and I'll Come to You, My Lad-M.R James 👻🎄 52:23

vor 45 weeks52:23

52:23

Not poetry, but I recorded this last year and wanted to share it with you. A spooky tale for the fireside this Christmas by the masterful M.R James. Sceptical Professor Parkins takes a trip to Burnstow to indulge in some research, and play some golf. He finds a mysterious whistle in the ruins of an old preceptory and, foolishly, blows it. From this point on, he is pursued by...what? Stoke the fire or light a candle, settle back in a comfy chair, pour yourself a large glass of something strong; you may need it.

TW: Suicide. The Forest. An original poem by yours truly. Read along with it here. In honour of Movember, Joe shares his bad mental health day as well as a poem about the suicide forests of Mount Fuji. While this poem is dark, the episode is meant to be cathartic--nobody is truly alone in this world. To donate to Joe's Movember page: click here. For a bit of Joe's singing (which might cheer you up, though no guarantees) have a look here: https://www.youtube.com/@Rileysings88 If you are affected by any of the issues in this poem/episode then please contact https://www.samaritans.org/how-we-can-help/contact-samaritan/ without delay. If you just want to talk about the episode then you are welcome to email me and I will get back to you, though please remember I am not a healthcare professional. Be kind to yourself, take good care.
