You're traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind,

0:14.0

a journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination.

0:18.0

That's the signpost up ahead. Your next stop, the Twilight Zone. I'd like to begin by giving my thanks again to Jim Moon from the Hypnobob's podcast for that wonderful reading of elegy last week.

1:01.1

Now, since I've been doing this, I seem to have amassed myself quite a big Twilight Zone library.

moment to panic when I started to listen to the recording that he sent me and

2:17.3

the beginning was completely different from the recording that he sent me and the

2:18.1

So when you read that edited version it does actually work okay because I'd never read
