Off The Record: Recent Episodes
The Observer
To start off we're digging deep into the Observer archives. In 1996 Heather Calder started a fiction serial within our pages called The Sun Came to Millen. We've turned those forty weekly installments into an eight-part audio book for you to enjoy all over again some twenty-five years later.
Parker Merlihan (the writer's son) has adapted the story to audio format, narrates and produced the series.
Join us for the conclusion of The Sun Came to Millen.
It's been a fun journey reimagining this newspaper serial story into podcast format to celebrate the Observer's twenty-fifth anniversary.
Thanks for joining us.
