Hunting Ghosts with Gatiss and Coles (2022), with Mark Gatiss and Richard Coles

2022 was a vintage year for ghost stories on the BBC - apart from some classic repeats and shiny new ghost stories on the television, Radio 4 picked up the gauntlet from the old days and broadcast a brand new version of The Signalman on Christmas Day. I've uploaded that to the channel, if you want to hear it. And immediately afterwards, they broadcast this - a warm, fireside chat between ghost story enthusiasts Mark Gatiss and the reverend Richard Coles. Warm and typically enthusiastic, it makes for a companionable discussion of a favourite subject...
MYSTERIOUS MAGPIE is a channel devoted to ghost and horror stories on British radio, and to dark tales of every kind. I have another channel, MYSTICAL MAGPIE, which is all about stories of fantasy, mythology, and adventure: / @mysticalmagpie-wo5fn
