Bizarre stories from a peculiar place. On the edge of the West Cliff in Bournemouth UK, balanced between sea and land and sky, the twisting paths and dark pine trees inspire strange stories of the strange folk who have inhabited that weird place. A new story every week from the pen of master story-teller Peter John Cooper. Funny, sad, murders, spirits and the down right ordinary. Commuting to work, drifting off to sleep, making breakfast, there’s a story for you here. Tales from the Cliff Edge has been selected as one of the top 15 UK story telling sites by Feedspot: https://blog.feedspot.com/uk_storytelling_podcasts/ I live on the cliff top. I’m looking out across Poole Bay to the English Channel and the world beyond. This is a mysterious in-between sort of place, not only the meeting of sea and land and the sky but also a shifting, joyful, melancholy realm where nothing is permanent and reality and fantasy collide. I’m Peter John Cooper and I’ve made my living for the past fifty years telling stories. In this podcast I’m going to share some of them with you. They’re not all about this clifftop place, of course, but they all come from that strange in between world of the imagination. Let’s go inside, make a cup of tea and I’ll tell you today’s tale.

- Are you keeping up? Have you any idea what’s going on? Well, I have dropped some massive hints so you ought to have some inkling by now. But let’s just recap. Eamon Porktraddle is on a quest to save the world. But what on earth that involves he doesn’t know. And he keeps getting distracted by the day to day life of the town. He is wearing a tinfoil hat he made from rubbish on the beach to keep out the voices of the mermaids. But the last day of summer is already looking ominous what with the discovery of a cheese sandwich, the threat of a nuclear holocaust and the unfortunate death of a marmalade cat and the cold eye of the town Mayor Gloria Swanson. We can only assume that things are going to get worse.
