Calm Stuff episode 3 (Patreon)

Hello everyone,

It's time for another episode of calm stuff! As September comes to a close and The Spooky Month approaches, I decided to have a bit of fun with this episode.

A few of you have been asking me to read something out lately, so I thought I'd get you in the mood for Hallowe'en by reading The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe.

I hadn't read this poem since my teenage emo years (the emo bit never left, I'm just in my thirties now) and, before recording, I'd never read it out loud before in my life. I learned that I still absolutely love it and that it is HARD TO READ WELL.

Please know that this is a bit of tongue in cheek fun - it you want to see someone actually decent read Poe, I urge you to watch Vincent Price performing The Telltale Heart.

Right, that's enough prevarication, here's the video.
