  Hello! When I started the EnCrypted Classic Horror Podcast many moons ago (well, a few months back) I didn't really know what to expect. Things I did expect turned out not to be the case at all. Firstly, I thought it would be easier to get listeners for the podcast than it would be to get listeners on YouTube.  Indeed, I mistakenly thought that the YouTube channel would be the promotional vehicle for the podcast.  It's hard to be sure what the listenership is for the podcast because I don't entirely trust the analytics provided by the hosting service Anchor.  I do know some people who exclusively listen through their podcast app and I know that I have listeners all over the world, but overall it seems to be a small audience and a tough nut to crack. Let's face it, everyone and his/her dog seems to have a podcast these days, and the market seems to be increasingly crowded with celebrities who have marketing budgets behind them. The YouTube channel, on the other hand...

  A vintage radio special of EnCrypted, returning once again to the whimsical uncanny shaggy dog stories of A.J. Alan. In "The Dream", Alan recounts the strange recurring dream he has had since childhood. But what can it all mean...?   Nottingham-born A.J. Alan (real name: Leslie Harrison Lambert) was a performing magician, radio ham, volunteer coastguard radio operator, and  naval intelligence officer who, at the start of World War II was part of the vital military intelligence effort at Bletchley Park. Prior to  the war, he was telling stories on BBC radio and became one of the most popular broadcasting personalities of the time. These stories - light, but often strange and sometimes spooky - were later to be anthologised in ghost story collections such as the Fontana series curated by Robert Aickman, although they were meant to be performed and delivered in the rambling, conversational style Alan had made his own. He died in 1941.   Archive radio of A.J. Ala...
