Merry Christmas, Listeners!

Even if you don't celebrate Christmas, let me send you my best wishes for the holiday season in the shape of the Sometimes 15 Christmas Special. Featuring music from X, The Elves of Heaven, and John Serrie (download links below); also "Quiztimes" the exciting (er?) new Sometimes quiz that - especially for this holiday edition - pits characters from my podcast novels past and present against each other to see who knows the most about Christmas, or "Crimbo" as we call it on this side of the pond (and no, that's not in the questions).

There's also a story from Saki, "Bertie's Christmas Eve", and an unusual reading of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven" - though I won't say more about that here as it will spoil the surprise of the unusual.

All in all, it's a big fat 45 minute bundle of festive nonsense that I'm sending to you all in place of the Christmas cards I can't send you because I don't have your addresses and I couldn't afford the stamps. Have a good one, listeners, and I look forward to filling your ears with more podcast delights in 2011.

... Oh, and comment for Pete's sake. What, am I talking to myself here??

Happy Halloween, Listeners!! A gigantic, 90 minute edition of Sometimes featuring my reading of E. Nesbit's, Man-Size in marble, is now live. The show also features Music from A Band Called Quinn, your Listener's Q&A with my wife asking your questions, a trip to the kitchen to see "What's in my Fridge?", plus various outbreaks of random Halloween weirdness.

A number of people have contacted me to report problems with their download of U&F 28. I just checked my own download of it and I see it's about 47 minutes long and cuts off in the middle of a conversation between Underwood and Lydia. This is indeed a duff download. All episodes of U&F finish with the play-out music, so, no music = bad download. The actual length of Episode 28 is an hour and three seconds (more or less).

I have logged a complaint with iTunes because the episode with my hosting site is whole and intact (I know because I just downloaded it). So if your download of U&F 28 ended abruptly, please click this link to get the whole thing: Underwood and Flinch Episode 28 (whole and intact)

Sorry for the inconvenience
