I can't believe I missed that - thank you for listening!

I'm sorry your mp3 player has died. I didn't realise how often I used mine until it stopped working; I bought a new one very swiftly indeed! I can tell you what I use, as I'm happy with it. I have a Sony NWZE384. I live in Europe, and I don't know what models are available where you are, or if they ...

Would it be advisable to post another test in the listeners wanted section? I've already had a LOT of help, as it took a few attempts to get my ...

Thanks! I think I'll redo it, as it's a short poem. I already do three rounds of noise removal and one of levelling, and I don't know if anything more would distort it. Short passages with extra cleaning might be a bit less noticeable with prose, but I'm reluctant to do it with poetry. I hope the ne...

Dunsany is brilliant, but I also think William Hope Hodgson has some good monsters. The titular characters of The Ghost Pirates are suitably spooky, as are the unnerving swine creatures in The House on the Borderland , and some of what Carnacki faces is terrifying. I have to say that I'm quite looki...
