The Chimes by Charles Dickens: An Introduction and Some Book Club News!

Hello and welcome to the start of season 4! In today’s episode I give a few updates and share some news about our new Cozy Christmas Book Club. You can find details on my social media accounts.

The main portion of the episode today, I begin reading Charles Dickens’ novella The Chimes. It was released at Christmas time the year after A Christmas Carol was published. It tells the story of Toby Veck and a mysterious encounter he has with some goblins that haunt the church bells…

This novella will be read in parts over the next 8 episodes. Along the way I will have some guests on to chat, news to share, and lots of wonderful cozy books to talk about. I’m so excited to get this new season started – Let’s get counting down to Christmas 2023!

Time Stamps:

00:00 Introduction, news, book club

05:55 Introducing The Chimes – the background, info, etc.

12:25 The Chimes, Chapter 1, part 1

40:09 Concluding Thoughts

Episode 74 – Patrick Stewart’s Christmas Carol

We’re back baby and it’s a brand new year with the same old crap!

First up we have a lovely story from Tracy Dawson who shares the story of the year her daughter wanted Santa to bring a flying carpet.

Then Bob Baker teaches us all about the English rude word bollocks.

Next up it’s the quiz and joining us with all the answers is Brian Earl.  Brian is the host of Christmas Past Podcast and also the author of the Christmas Past book.
Here’s a link:

Then Bob Baker is back with his second segment.  This is a brand new segment called Christmas Everyday and in it Bob shares ideas on how to keep a glimmer of Christmas in your life all year long.  If you have any suggestions email them in.

Then we look at A Christmas Carol from 1999 starring Patrick Stewart. It’s pretty good and if you want to watch it here’s a link:

Then we have the triumphant return of the yule log and this one features The Fraggles.
It’s okay I suppose.
Check it out here:

This episode’s recommendation is Rock, Paper, Swords a podcast that talks about historical fiction.  Their Christmas episodes takes a look at the history of Christmas and it’s excellent.
