The Well Told Tale

Third time unlucky, the finale of “Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom” has been delayed. It’ll be coming out as soon as we can fix some problems. Please bare with us!

The gremlin problem seems to have got to the recording equipment now so unfortunately, this week’s episode will not be available today. Fear not, we’ll get it sorted ASAP.

The gremlins appear to have gotten into YouTube’s system so we’re having some trouble bringing you the latest episodes of @doctorow’S fantastic “Down & Out in the Magic Kingdom” on there. If you can’t wait, the podcast is still running gremlin-free on all major platforms.

Well that was fun. We finished our first journey into Deathworld this week - you can find the finale here if you missed it: bit.ly/TWTTdw6. We may well return to Harry Harrison’s trilogy in due course. But this week’s Tale will take us to a very different land indeed.

We’re taking a little break this week, which means you will have to wait ANOTHER week for the next exciting episode of “Deathworld” by Harry Harrison. If you missed last week’s episode, you can catch up here: bit.ly/TWTTdw2
