Famous Five Podcast

Post by Nigel D »

Just in case people weren’t aware there’s a fun little FF podcast on the Apple podcasts APP. I found it via Twitter but I’m sure you can trace it by other means. They’re up to Book 7 at the moment. Shame they’re not reading the original texts though.

Yes, not easy. I searched Enid Blyton and Five on a Treasure Island appeared, but it's only 6 mins long! I have listened to it but it's only the first chapter.

Are we looking at the same one, Nigel ? It’s called The Famous Five Podcast and has a square picture in needlepoint of the podcast title

You're right, Nigel - that wasn't the one! Mine had Jan Francis reading the first chapter or so. I have found the one to which you refer and will listen later.

Just listened to the Billycock Hill podcast!
Hello and welcome to the sixteenth episode of The Famous Five Podcast. This month we have read Five go to Billycock Hill by Enid Blyton. Your hosts Katie and Jen will share the plot of the book, read some quotes, discuss their thoughts and feelings and discover some TV adaptations. In this book the Five are camping near the RAF airfield when a (handsome) local pilot and plane go missing. This episode contains one of Katie's voices and a loud deck chair.
