This podcast has ads at the start of every episode. However never in the middle of a story or at the end.

Please be assured all ad blocks have been applied to ensure no over 18 or inappropriate ads are played.

However, there may be the odd occasion where an advert slips through the net because the company submitting them submits them under a category that is not correct. This happens very rarely and I do my upmost to stop this happening.

If this happens, please email me at [email protected] and let me know the following information: What the ad was for? What state you live in? And what episode you heard it on and I will immediately contact Spreaker to block the ad.

I take this very seriously and I really appreciate your support and co-operation.

Our guest reader today is Christina, and she will be reading today's story.

0:19.5

Oliver in outer space.

0:21.6

Late one night, Oliver was in his bedroom, staring out into space, at a collage of sparkling

0:29.7

stars through his telescope. Oliver was a curious boy, who often wondered what was out

2:04.3

Gasped Oliver.

2:06.4

The sparkling star got bigger as it came nearer to the telescope's lens.

2:12.1

It became so bright that Oliver had to pull away from the eyepiece, as he did. Out through his window,

2:20.3

the shooting, sparkling star, whooshed over his house, and landed with a mighty thud in the woods
