Ragbag Presents: Recent Episodes

Frank Burton

A serial storytelling podcast, in which author Frank Burton fictionalises his own life.

The latest ten-part series is called Brollywood. The blurb:

After losing his home, then accidentally burning down another one, Frank is reunited with his former cellmate, Noddy. Noddy, despite evidence to the contrary, is still alive, and is very concerned about the disappearance of a set of plans to steal millions of pounds from a mysterious group of British film stars. 

Brollywood lifts the lid on the ultimate underground society, the greatest con-trick of all time, and the best-kept secret in showbusiness. It’s a story about love and friendship, as well as a handy guidebook on how to pull off a bank heist during a global pandemic. 

The accompanying series of novels begins with the books Everything I Am, and Getting Away With It.

Frank unearths the one surviving episode of Heeb Streeb, a podcast he presented as a younger man. Heeb Streeb ran for 37 episodes between 2006 and 2007. Until recently, it was assumed that all evidence of Heeb Streeb’s existence had been wiped from the face of the earth. Perhaps this would have been for the best.

Frank and Uncle Claude offer a much-needed burst of optimism by performing their own unique version of Ivor Novello's We'll Gather Lilacs, which despite having been written in the 1940s, is arguably the song of the moment. Merry Christmas to all, Happy New Year, see you all in 2021. A plinkety-plonk and a tinkety-tonk.

Although you’re far away

And life is sad and grey

I have a scheme, a dream to try

I’m thinking, dear, of you

And all I meant to do

When we’re together, you and I

We’ll soon forget our care and pain

And find such lovely things to share again

We’ll gather lilacs in the spring again

And walk together down an English lane

Until our hearts have learned to sing again

When you come home once more

And in the evening by the firelight’s glow

You’ll hold me close and never let me go

Your eyes will tell me all I want to know

When you come home once more

Here's an extract from the audiobook version of Frank's new novel, One Hundred.

About the book:

Welcome to the Dirty City, a world of endless enigmas where fiction and reality are frequently intertwined; a city of surreal storytellers, ingenious acts of corruption, mass hypnosis, synchronised sleepwalking, scenes of impossible trickery, tales of passion, confusion and friendship. With a large cast of unique and outlandish characters, One Hundred is a novel like no other.

Buy the book on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/One-Hundred-Frank-Burton/dp/1796845256/ref=sr_1_1_twi_pap_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1551369991&sr=8-1&keywords=frank+burton+one+hundred
