About this episode

This episode features a compilation of three Patreon bonus episodes while the host recovers from pneumonia.

This week on Tales I am still, technically, on holiday - and was hoping to re-release one of five old episodes still left from the first season. This plan has been derailed somewhat. My voice is still recovering from my bout of pneumonia; and I’ve written at least a million words since I did those episodes. I opened those old scripts and realised to be content with them I’d need to completely re-do those episodes… Not so much out of inaccuracies as out of having refined this thing I do a lot since 2020. I’ll get back to those episodes sometime. In the meantime, please let me present this episode, compiled from three Patreon bonus episodes. Thank you to the patrons, whose generosity helps me keep the lights on. The episodes are:Stranded on ‘Ata400 Word Tales: Countess Zangari Bandi Walter Powell’s Final Flight Sources this week include: The Stolen Island by Scott HamiltonHumankind by Rutger Bregman Borderlands by Mike Dash Support the show on Patreon for $2 US a month and get access to exclusive content, or Try our 7 Day Free Trial.
