Letters to Father Christmas. What is the Post Office to do with them? They can’t deliver them. They don’t know his address. They can’t return them. Who could be so cruel? Irving Jefferson has the answer and it’s brilliantly simple. But reporter Maddie Sharp is beginning to suspect that Irving Jefferson and his plan might not be as simple as they appear.
The Elf Service is a story for Christmas in 24 daily episodes, written by tobias sturt and read by Jon Millington. The theme music is Santa Claus is comin’ to town by Riley Farley and their orchestra from The Internet Archive (https://archive.org/). Our illustrations are by Jamie Lenman (http://www.jamielenman.com/portfolio/).
The Elf Service is inspired by a true story - the story of John Gluck, the Santa Claus man, a story I heard about on the sadly defunct Futility Closet podcast (https://www.futilitycloset.com/2020/09/28/podcast-episode-313-the-santa-claus-association/), and then discovered more thoroughly in Alex Palmer's biography of Gluck (https://uk.bookshop.org/books/the-santa-claus-man-the-rise-and-fall-of-a-jazz-age-con-man-and-the-invention-of-christmas-in-new-york/9781493049158)
Gluck was an entrepreneur (a slightly shady one at that) in pre-WWI New York, who started a charity taking letters written to Santa Claus and finding wealthy Manhattanites to answer them with presents. And there my story starts diverging (fairly dramatically) from real life.
I've also been reading Crying the News, a history of America's news boys (https://uk.bookshop.org/books/crying-the-news-a-history-of-america-s-newsboys-9780197533338/9780197533338), which I discovered via the You're Wrong About podcast (https://yourewrongabout.buzzsprout.com/1112270/6500155)

Irving Jefferson has the answer and it’s brilliantly simple. But reporter Maddie Sharp is beginning to suspect that Irving Jefferson and his plan might not be as simple as they appear.
The Elf Service is a story for Christmas in 24 daily episodes, written by tobias sturt and read by Jon Millington. The theme music is Santa Claus is comin’ to town by Riley Farley and their orchestra from The Internet Archive (https://archive.org/). Our illustrations are by Jamie Lenman (http://www.jamielenman.com/portfolio/).
The Elf Service is inspired by a true story - the story of John Gluck, the Santa Claus man, a story I heard about on the sadly defunct Futility Closet podcast (https://www.futilitycloset.com/2020/09/28/podcast-episode-313-the-santa-claus-association/), and then discovered more thoroughly in Alex Palmer's biography of Gluck (https://uk.bookshop.org/books/the-santa-claus-man-the-rise-and-fall-of-a-jazz-age-con-man-and-the-invention-of-christmas-in-new-york/9781493049158)
Gluck was an entrepreneur (a slightly shady one at that) in pre-WWI New York, who started a charity taking letters written to Santa Claus and finding wealthy Manhattanites to answer them with presents. And there my story starts diverging (fairly dramatically) from real life.
I've also been reading Crying the News, a history of America's news boys (https://uk.bookshop.org/books/crying-the-news-a-history-of-america-s-newsboys-9780197533338/9780197533338), which I discovered via the You're Wrong About podcast (https://yourewrongabout.buzzsprout.com/1112270/6500155)

A story for Halloween, written in 2022
Inspired by a visit to Porthcawl in South wales, where they really have tarmacked over the beach - although I don't know whether they have a little local god keeping the town alive (apart from my friends Will & Jo - who live there and *are* gods)
The music is: 'Thinking Music' by Kevin MacLeod (https://filmmusic.io/song/4522-thinking-music)
Effects from Freesound : Timbre, Julien Nicolas, NLM, Yarmonics kyles, nebulousflynn, 7778

Fri, 24 Dec 2021 00:00:06 GMT
Chapter 24: In which Mr Benedict Nail has a happy Christmas and wishes one to everyone else, too. Including you. Alone and loving it one Christmas Eve, the selfish and unfriendly Benedict Nail finds himself shrunk into miniature and lost in the wilderness of his own living room, which turns out to populated by the ghosts of long-dead Londoners. To reverse the enchantment he must set out on weird expedition through the knick-knacks and mementoes of his past, and in the course of a long midwinter night discover a whole new Benedict Nail. The Ghosts of Christmas Presents is a seasonal adventure through one man's living room, the wonders he finds there and the lessons he learns. Told in 24 chapters, it is written by Tobias Sturt and read by Jon Millington. The music is 'Path of the Goblin King' by Kevin MacLeod of filmmusic.io (https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4503-the-path-of-the-goblin-king) You can get in touch with us through our website: www.christmasstories.co.uk, where you can also find more Christmas stories.

This is a trailer for Christmas Stories, a seasonal podcast.Every year we write and record a Christmas story. The stories are released in 24 episodes, usually about ten to fifteen minutes long, one for every day of December up to Christmas Day, a sort of audiobook advent calendar. The stories are usually written by me, Tobias Sturt, and read by the actor Jon Millington.They're all very different: from the steam driven shenanigans of the Adventure Calendar of Mr Timothy Hope to the delightful Christmas spent in The Apartment Store by the little girl Lydia and her family and friends. But they all take Christmas seriously - or at least as seriously as it should be taken: which is both not at all and entirely too much.We have a Patreon page: https://patreon.com/christmasstoriesand a Ko-fi page: https://ko-fi.com/christmasstoriesYou can get in touch with us through our website: www.christmasstories.co.uk, where you can also find more Christmas stories.

A story for Halloween, written in 2021A group of teenagers living just outside of Berlin are haunted by violent visions of Germany's past.Inspired by a holiday to Gross Glienicke just outside Berlin in 2019. We chose to stay there mostly because of the book The House by the Lake (https://uk.bookshop.org/books/the-house-by-the-lake/9780099592044), about a house there that has sat at the centre of twentieth century German history. Meanwhile I was also reading James Hawes' A Shortest History of Germany (https://uk.bookshop.org/books/the-shortest-history-of-germany/9781910400739). These books and a lonely bus stop on the way to Spandau collided in my head to produce visions of lost Roman legions, the cruelties of the Thirty Years War and all the horrors of modern Germany.I'm fun to go on holiday with.The music is: 'Thinking Music' by Kevin MacLeod (https://filmmusic.io/song/4522-thinking-music)Effects from Freesound (https://freesound.org/people/redskelington/bookmarks/category/148670/): craigsmith, giddster, karlis.stigis, forfie, raugdae, dobroide, cciecko, Garuda1982, mrsorbias, inchadney Get bonus content on Patreon

A story for Halloween, written in 2020Locked down on my own in the East End of London, spending my time walking, alone, around the deserted City, I started thinking about all the ghosts who must haunt the empty buildings, and how they must be getting lonely too.I started wondering how safe it might be to be the lone living person among all these dead. And then I began to think that perhaps I had done enough walking for one day and maybe I'd better go home.Go home and, as it turned out, start writing this storyThe music is 'Thinking Music' by Kevin MacLeod, from Incompetech:https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4522-thinking-musicSound effects from Freesound (https://freesound.org/people/redskeli... klankbeeld, Mohammad Reza Mozaffari, samwd, ChazzRavenelle, craigsmith, Nakhas, winsx87Photos from Unsplash(https://unsplash.com/collections/7202...)Mark Hang Fung So, Michelen Studios, Anne Nygård, Alex Bierwagen, Charl Folscher,Jan Romero, Annie Spratt, Rumman Amin, Egor Myznik, Étienne Godiard, Daniel van den Berg,Arturo Ruiz, Guillaume Techer, Susan Yin, Simon Rae, Roman Fox, Aj Alao, Lucas Benjamin, nrd,Morgan Vander Hart, Quinton Coetzee, Marcus Loke, Chris Greenhow, Guido Coppa, Dimitry Anikin, Sebastian Le Derout, John Cameron, Nabeel Saghir, Sebastian Pichler, Leif Niemczik, Simon Mumenthaler, Get bonus content on Patreon

A story for Halloween, written in 2012.It tells the story of a strange and secretive family and the man who tries to help them and who discovers that man's best friend might not be a dog.It was inspired by an actual experience I had while staying one summer in Sandwich on Cape Cod. Walking back from the sea along the walkway across the salt marshes, we heard a train whistle and then a blood-chilling cacophony of barking and yowling somewhere off in the dimming twilight.The next day I sat on the beach and wrote this story.I'm a real riot on holiday.All the images are from Unsplash (https://unsplash.com/collections/1063...) and I should credit:Steve Halama, Dominik Rešek, Andrew Charney, Fabian, Mikel Ibarluzea, Giovanni Bianchi, Marek Szturc, Thomas Lardeau, David Martin, Stefano Ciociola, Senor Sosa, Mark Boss, Kevin KandlbinderThe sound effects are from Freesound (https://freesound.org/people/redskeli...) and come from:eric5335, foongaz, samwd, Mrthenoronha, felix.blume, buzzatsea, 16F.Panska.Capek_Tomas Get bonus content on Patreon

Might he discover the truth behind what happened? And might he regret it when he does?Both this story and 'The Treasure' were written to accompany an interactive ghost story for what was then The SciFi Channel in the UK.
