Hello it's me Emma and this is not an ad. Before we start today's episode it is British podcast

awards season and it would be really amazing if you could vote for real life go stories in the

listener's choice award. You just need to go to britishpodcastawards.com forward slash vote

and type in real life go stories into the search bar. You'll be then sent a confirmation email

and in order to make your vote count you need to click the button in the email and that's it.

You can vote from anywhere in the world. It only takes a minute. Literally you can vote once

per email address and I am under no illusions that real life go stories will win but last year we

came third and I would love to achieve that again and maybe tentatively hope that we can do

slightly better. So if you consume my content if you enjoy my content it would mean the absolute

world to me if you could vote. The voting closes on the 5th of September and also you can vote for

as many podcasts as you like. So if you have a podcast that you love please be sure that you

sling them a vote too especially if they are an indie podcast because it's absolutely great

advertising for indie podcasts. Thank you so much and I hope you enjoyed the episode.

Hello and welcome to mini episode 285 of real life go stories and I have four spooky stories for

you today and the last story comes from March the 25th, 2023 and story number one comes from Jen.

I've listened to every episode of the podcast, have been a listener since dear David or so I

was scrolling through episodes last week to find one to relisten to while I walk to work when I

discovered two episodes that I had missed. The first one was episode 174. In that episode you

talked about the theater Royal in Brighton which I know very well as I was born and raised in Brighton

been to many shows and pantomimes there over the years and also in that episode you thank

a patreon member in the episode called Jenna which is my name. I thought to myself oh that was a

cool coincidence but then I listened to another episode that I missed it was mini episode 194
