Fictie – Verenigd Koninkrijk – Nieuwe podcasts

  • What makes you a heretic? Journalist Andrew Gold believes that, in an age of group-think and tribes, we need heretics - those who use unconventional wisdom to speak out against their own groups, from cancelled comedians and radical feminists to cult defectors and vigilantes hunting deviants.

    Learn from my guests how to rebel, think differently and resist social contagion. From Triggernometry's Francis Foster and the world's most cancelled man Graham Linehan to ex-Hasidic Jew Julia Haart and gender critical atheist Richard Dawkins. These are the people living with the weight of their own community's disappointment on their shoulders.

  • A chronological reading of Ian Fleming's James Bond 007 and conversations with special guests hosted by John Bleasdale.

    Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  • An audio book in serialised form. Every week I’ll share an extract from a book based on my cringey diaries from the 2000s. Think Adrian Mole meets Angus Thongs. Follow along on Insta at @myy2kdiary.

  • We reimagine and remix classic weird tales into found-footage stories set today. Drawing our inspiration from the likes of H.P. Lovecraft, M.R. James, and Algernon Blackwood, we shape these old tales into something that might just have really happened in our current world. Come on in, we've been expecting you.

  • Aileen is a sparky and curious little Artificial Intelligence who needs your help. Her inventor Zzzucks struggles to relate to people and is always getting into sticky situations—like the time he tried to make cheesplosions even cheesier. The A2Z podcast takes you along on their wild adventures with annoying robots, jello mountains, semi-intelligent lawnmowers and more. Will you help Aileen to help Zzzucks be less anxious and happier in his own skin, and help her learn what makes humans human? You might even pick up some tips and tricks for being kind to yourself in the process!
    You can talk to Aileen, help her on her missions, and play the game by downloading the Aileen App (search for Aileen in the Apple App Store or Google Playstore). The App costs $1.99 to unlock all the missions, and is free to GZM subscribers!

  • From the writer of the #1 Podcast OUTLIERS comes a mind-bending, brain-twisting journey into the depths of traumatized memory and the underbelly of a dying California desert town where all the odd-ball inhabitants have something disturbing to hide. When a boyโ€™s shinbone is discovered in Kellan Ruckerโ€™s hometown of Salton Sea, Kellan returns to claim what he believes are the remains of his twin brother who vanished nearly twenty years ago when the boys were twelve. The grim discovery triggers Kellan; he loses his battle to stay sober as he struggles to maintain his tenuous hold on reality while he navigates the bizarre environs of the toxic-lake town and its funhouse of eccentric characters to uncover the truth about what really happened to his twin all those years ago.Created by Cassandra Wells & Charley RandazzoExecutive Producers: Cassandra Wells & Daniel KaemonWritten by Cassandra WellsDirected by Charley RandazzoPost-Production Producer: Daniel KaemonSound Design & Sound Editing by Charley RandazzoStarring:Daniel Kaemon as Kellan RuckerMark Irvingsen as FrankTime Winters as Dr. Lubich and Vernon RuckerMarta Cross as JillTracy Winters as Detective Helen Dove and Alice RuckerTom Beyer as Lifeguard Lenny and Orderly RobJeff Blumberg as Coronerโ€™s ClerkJaxon Gwillim as Detective LangfordHarry Gwillim as Young Boy and Young Boyโ€™s BrotherCharley Randazzo as Trolley Tour Guide

  • A story of the paranormal and the occult, inspired by true events… 
     
    Meticulously reconstructed with actors: Mae Whitman, Helen Baxendale, David Morrissey and Miles Heizer.
     
    In the small town of Hexham, England, in the middle of the afternoon of June 13th, 1957, two little girls named Maud and Mary Pollard are hit by a car and killed. Their grief-stricken parents, Thomas and Frances are sucked into a spiral of despair. They begin attending church twice a day, praying for some relief from their pain. 
     
    When God doesn’t answer, Thomas is persuaded by business associate Mark Whitney to try the dark arts of the occult. Within no time good things start to happen; Thomas’s work situation improves, they can afford to move home, a new start in life… and Frances is pregnant again with twin girls.
     
    Nine months later Jacky and Jill are born. They look exactly like their deceased siblings. The same scars, the same birthmarks. And that was just the beginning. 
     
    By age 4, Jacky and Jill are able to correctly name the dolls and stuffed animals that belonged to their dead sisters. The twins even have recurring nightmares of being run over by a car… Could Francis dare to dream that Jacky and Jill were the reincarnations of her beloved Maud and Mary? 
     
    And then Mark Whitney comes back into their lives: they had sought the Devil’s help in their time of need, now the time has come for the debt to be repaid…
     
    Fast-forward to present-day Philadelphia: museum curator Frankie Bradshaw, receives an anonymous gift that pulls her into a waking nightmare that involves cults, conspiracies…and the truth about her own family history.

  • Welcome to the club! Iโ€™m Jack. Together we learn English with classic stories made simple for English learners. Stories are the most powerful way to grow your understanding of the language and have fun at the same time!

    Join me as we travel through magical, mysterious, funny, and sometimes scary worlds together. Many of these classic stories were written many years ago, when the English language was quite different. This means that reading them today can be very difficult for English learners, and not so useful either. I change the language of these stories to make them easier to understand and using more modern language. I also make sure that the story is just as fun and engaging as the original.

    This is a British English podcast, so if you are interested in learning British English, this will be particularly helpful for you. You can us this for shadowing (reading out loud with me), or as a listening exercise.
     I believe that your brain begins to acquire the language by first understanding. Thatโ€™s why we need to get a lot of listening practice before we can hope to speak well. If we must do lots of listening, then we should make sure that the listening is fun!

    If you would like to support the show buy me a coffee, you can do that at https://ko-fi.com/jacksenglishstoryclub. Your support helps me make more amazing stories available to English learners!
