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.
This looks like a wonderful way to spend Christmas Eve. I love this story and I can’t think of anyone better to tell it than @owenstaton.bsky.social

Whose up for an episode from Hitchin in the future?
I had a very minor op a cyst from my head. Don't worry it appears my brain is still intact 😂
Claire the surgeon and I spent the whole time talking about ghosts and the spooky history of Hitchin. I'd love to cover a Hitchin story.
Any suggestions?
