The Platform Kettle

Our other two shows, if tonight's isn't quite what you were after:
→ Sleepbound — classic literature read slowly enough to fall asleep to: Apple Podcasts
→ Sleepbound Soundscapes — ambient sleep music, no narration: Apple Podcasts

Tonight, we step off the train at a quiet Welsh junction, where the waiting room is closed and the rain falls soft against the iron canopy. Mair has forty minutes to spare, a tin of saffron buns, and a promise to keep — and beneath the far bench, someone has left a copper kettle, still warm.
