Talk Haunts – James Boughen (Follow the Rabbit)

Halloween opens the door to strange stories.Some are whispered in haunted houses.Others begin in the mind of a writer, somewhere between fear, humour and the unexplained.In this Talk Haunts Halloween Special, Steve and Marie are joined by James Boughen, creator and writer of BBC Radio 4’s Follow the Rabbit, for a relaxed and atmospheric conversation about inspiration, storytelling, the paranormal and the strange appeal of the things that frighten us.The discussion explores the ideas behind Follow the Rabbit, the creative process behind crafting eerie and unusual stories, and the way comedy and the supernatural can sit side by side when handled with care. Along the way, James also shares a spooky tale or two, making this a perfect Halloween listen for anyone drawn to haunted stories, odd encounters and the darker corners of imagination.Warm, intelligent and quietly eerie, this special edition of Talk Haunts offers something slightly different from the main Haunted UK Podcast episodes — a conversation-led journey into creativity, fear, folklore and the stories that stay with us after the lights go out.Enjoyed the episode?
