    <title>Serial Tales - Joan Juliet Buck's Littleburg Tales</title>
    <generator>ZenCast (https://zencast.fm)</generator>
        <description>‘Serial Tales’ are set in Littleburg, the Hudson Valley hamlet that time forgot, until time remembered it.
In Littleburg, the veil is so thin that the other world is in your face, and half the population are shamans. The psychic old guard must incorporate the post-Covid newbies , which leads to some powerful collective hallucinations, including, perhaps, the Second Coming. As a result , local hotel owner Vince and millionaire pop star renter Cobbler Martin think they have been given the mission to fight the darkness with light. Magical realism full of twists, laughs, and gut-punches told with a velvet voice, these stories owe a debt to Philip Pullman, MR James,  Saki, John Wyndham, and  ‘Lady Asquith’s Third Ghost Book’ These spoken serials began in September 2021 on Radio Free Rhinecliff with ‘The Companion Fog’ , an 8-chapter novella about a cloud you have custom-made to protect you from bad news. Season 1 of Littleburg is available at radiofreerhinecliff.org/joan-juliet-buckrsquos-serial-tales.html .


Laurie Anderson’s disquieting theme music sets the tone.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>While half of Littleburg is re-enacting what might have been the Second Coming right there, Vince decides he may sell the hotel Liminal to the devil's ex wife, and invites her to try it for a month. She bullies the whisperers out of the counting house of souls in the hotel basement. They may take the other spirits with them-- stand by for season 3, Littleburg  without ghosts.
Vince flies with Harriet to  London to join Cobbler who's been working with the King on the secret mission she and Vince were given by the angel last year , and  King Charles's (real ) Christmas speech proves how hard he's been working to fight darkness with light.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>The  Littleburg witch Celeste Granting has to give up her practice and go back to her prosaic old name-- Laura Appleby-- because the invisible world has gone silent since the ghosts were fired from the hotel.
Laura no longer believes in the woo-woo stuff: She will devote herself to the  dreary mantra IT IS WHAT IT IS.
But then she  realizes that Pluto is about to go into Aquarius , for the very first time since the tumultuous years between 1777and 1797. Our war of independence and the French Revolution. What heads are going to roll this time? Buckle your seatbelt and get out the popcorn. This announces a wild ride through living history. Come back for the next episode.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>To kick off the second season of The Serial  Tales of Littleburg, author Joan Juliet Buck provides a briefing on the events of Season One, with a comprehensive Who’s Who of the denizens of the Hudson Valley hamlet where so many city dwellers fled during the pandemic.
But the the veil between worlds is thinner in Littleburg , and the price of admission may be steep.
We learn about the three new witches: Celeste Granting, formerly in HR, now a professional seer with an anger problem; Kenella, a rich elder who sacrificed her good cashmeres to the moths of initiation; and Gigi Larsen, a troublemaker on every level.
The locals: Minnie Gonzales the realtor who stalked the creepy heir to a house she wants, Vince and Harriet, puzzled owners of the haunted Hotel Liminal, Ebenezer Shallow, the man who lost his luck through lies, and Cobbler Martin, the luminous young pop star hoping to soothe her thwarted entitlement with a view of the river.
We learn about the events last Christmas , a visit that was either a collective hallucination or  a true visitation, and left Vince the hotel owner and Cobbler the pop star with the conviction that they had a mission to fight the darkness.
After this show, you'll be up to date on the events and ready for the next episodes of the Serial Tales of Littleburg.
Season 1 is available at radiofreerhinecliff.org/joan-juliet-buckrsquos-serial-tales.</p>
