Tales of History and Imagination

Tales From The Patreon

Episode Description from the Publisher

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 ‘Ata 400 Word Tales: Countess Zangari Bandi  Walter Powell’s Final Flight   Sources this week include:  The Stolen Island by Scott Hamilton Humankind 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.  Please leave Tales a like and a review wherever you listen. The best way you can support us is to share an episode with a friend - Creative works grow best by word of mouth. I post episodes fortnightly.
