I’ve an award winning podcast about all that’s weird and a little off kilter in the town of Biggleswade and Bedfordshire. History with a pinch of the paranormal, folklore & urban legends. I also like cake, cats, beating bosses and disability rights.

How I take criticism

Great news that this site is safe! Peterborough museum has a reconstruction of the POW camp and the items the French soldiers carved. It’s well worth a visit. Especially as the museum is haunted! I find the POW bit really spooky.

Many listeners tell me that they really enjoy the on location recordings I make, in the woods or fields around Biggleswade. If you really want to get a great fix of fantastic soundscapes from around the UK do check out @radiolento.bsky.social who specialise in just this. radiolento.podbean.com

One of the many things I love about Folkestone is to reach the beach, you have to walk a zig-zag path through what feels like the backdrop to an RPG. I expected a talking gull to appear and offer me a side quest. Your reward at the end, as well as mermaid beach, are pretty pastel beach huts.

So who would like some “Weird in the Wade - Beside the Seaside” episodes next year then???? I’d love to make some because part of my childhood was in Newquay Cornwall and I have good links to the Fife coast, and the south coast of England as well.

This Bedford cemetery looks well worth a visit. It is peak Bedfordshire though. The cousin of Alan Turing, is buried there but no one actually famous. There’s a great story about a dog! Events mark Bedford cemetery that is 'full of history'

The last rainy day we had (Thursday) I sheltered at the former haunted Poundstretcher now Jones’ cafe, with a pot of tea and Aggie for company. 👻😊 #cosy

The Angel of Mons is a bit of folklore from WW1 claiming ghosts of English longbow men held off the opposing army while the men retreated. This was a fictional story published in a newspaper although many believed it. #folkyFriday

I’m heading off to a writers retreat today on the south coast. I cannot wait. The seaside always calms and inspires me. Normal weird service will return next week.

Midsummer Uncanny is back! This first episode gave me chills and I can’t wait for part 2! Remember ghosts aren’t just for Halloween, midsummer is a thin time as well. Thank you #uncanny team!

Well I wasn’t expecting to be described as a “top podcaster” nor to make it on to the front page of the paper edition of the Royston Crow!
