Podcasts about Staton

On a wild and windswept night in Cornwall, the distant cry of hounds carries across the moor.They are searching still.In this episode of Time Between Times, we delve into the chilling legend of Dando, the hunting priest whose thirst, pride, and reckless words led him into the company of the Devil himself. What began as a Sunday hunt through the Cornish countryside became a ride into darkness from which there could be no return.Join Owen Staton beside the fire as we journey through ancient valleys, moonlit rivers, and haunted moorlands where the Wild Hunt still rides. Hear of spectral hounds with burning eyes, a mysterious stranger bearing an infernal drink, and a cursed priest condemned to an eternal chase beneath storm-filled skies.This is a tale of temptation and damnation, of loyalty beyond death, and of the terrible price paid by those who follow their desires too far.So settle back, listen to the wind outside your window, and ask yourself…If you heard the baying of hounds in the darkness, would you dare to follow?Some hunts end at Sunset and some hunts never end .www.welshstoryteller.comOwen's Ko-fi pagewww.ko-fi.com/owenstaton

You've been filling your days to the brim and calling it faithfulness. Every hour accounted for. Every margin eliminated. You pull it all off, too, and you reach the end of the day unable to say why it felt empty. The people you love most were technically present, but you couldn't really see them. You measured the day by what got done, not by who got loved. And underneath the productivity, if you're honest, there was a quieter engine running — the fear that if you slowed down, you'd have to sit with something you're not ready to face. Tyler Staton, lead pastor of Bridgetown Church in Portland, author of Praying Like Monks Living Like Fools, The Familiar Stranger, and his newest book After Amen, joins me for what I believe is one of the most theologically precise and personally confronting conversations this show has produced. Tyler has walked through a stage-four cancer diagnosis and come through it with a startling clarity about what the soul actually needs. In this conversation we cover the holiness of unfinished things, how to distinguish Spirit-led submission from fear-driven people-pleasing, what it means to absorb the wrongs of another without becoming a doormat, why approval addiction and genuine love cannot coexist in the same moment, and what Jesus's own relationship to human limits reveals about how we were designed to live. What Tyler says about the Kingdom of God is worth stopping on. The Kingdom only comes in the present, he argues, and when you're living in your head, toward the next thing, you cannot participate in it. This isn't a productivity hack. It's a diagnosis of a spiritual condition most of us have normalized. The hurry we've made peace with is the very thing severing us from the people we love, the voice of the Spirit we say we want, and the joy we keep expecting to find somewhere ahead. What you'll find in this conversation is not comfort. You'll find a mirror. Tyler names the lie that high-achievers and approval-seekers share in common: that more urgency and more effort will eventually produce the love and belonging we're chasing, and he tells you exactly why that trade will cost you your soul. This conversation will ask something of you. The question is whether you're ready to slow down enough to hear it. Guest Bio Tyler Staton is the lead pastor of Bridgetown Church in Portland, Oregon, and the national director of 24-7 Prayer USA. He is the author of Praying Like Monks, Living Like Fools, The Familiar Stranger — a book about encountering the Holy Spirit as a living Person — and his newest release, After Amen: 50 Days of Poetry and Prayer, written in the aftermath of a stage-four cancer diagnosis and the particular clarity that kind of wilderness produces. Tyler lives in Portland with his wife Kirsten, and their three sons. His work sits at the intersection of contemplative prayer, Spirit-led formation, and the kind of pastoral honesty that refuses to separate theological depth from ordinary daily life.

In the lonely marshlands and mist-soaked valleys of Wales, strange lights have long been seen drifting silently through the darkness.Pale flames moving along forgotten roads.Lanterns with no hand to carry them.Omens of death.Tonight, storyteller Owen Staton invites you into the haunting world of the Canwyll Corph — the Welsh corpse candles — where grief walks beside love, where ancient superstition lingers beneath chapel bells and sea mist, and where a young doctor discovers that some lights are not meant to be followed.Rich with folklore, melancholy and eerie beauty, The Grim Lights is a deeply atmospheric tale of loss, longing and the flickering boundary between this world and the next.So settle beside the fire, listen to the wind at the window… and if you glimpse a pale flame moving in the darkness beyond the glass…Don't follow it www.welshstoryteller.comwww.ko-fi.com/owenstatonwww.patreon.com/owenstaton7

In this message from our Some Assembly Required series, we tackle one of the most confusing and important topics in today's culture—dating and relationships. Looking at the story of Isaac and Rebekah in Genesis 24, we discover timeless biblical wisdom for building relationships God's way instead of the world's way.Through practical truth, humor, and honest conversation, this sermon explores what it means to pursue relationships with God's standards, pray before pursuing, and pay attention to patterns of character instead of just potential. We are reminded that real peace in relationships comes not from following culture, but from honoring God's design.Whether you're single, dating, engaged, married, or raising the next generation, this message will encourage and challenge you to build relationships on a strong spiritual foundation instead of emotional or physical attraction alone.Key Themes:God's way leads to peace, the world's way leads to confusionPursuing Jesus before pursuing relationshipsLooking for character over chemistryBecoming the right person instead of obsessing over finding “the one”Building relationships on spiritual foundationsTrusting God's wisdom and timing in dating and marriageThe grace of God for every past mistake and broken place

Expect ancient burial rites, moonlit terror, windswept hills and the dreadful sound of knocking at the door after midnight…Perfect for listeners who love:Dark folkloreCeltic ghost storiesAncient vampire legendsSupernatural horror told by candlelightSo settle by the fire, keep the curtains closed, and listen carefully…Because some things buried in the old earth do not sleep easily.www.welshstoryteller.comwww.ko-fi.com/owenstatonwww.patreon.com/owenstaton7Please consider joining the Time between Times Facebook group

Tonight, Time Between Times journeys into the haunted coastal shadows of Cornwall for a chilling encounter with one of Britain's most unsettling pieces of folklore — The White Hare of Looe.When an old fisherman shares a tale whispered for generations along storm-lashed cliffs and moonless lanes, storyteller Owen Staton is drawn into a world where the boundaries between beast, spirit and human begin to dissolve.A lonely cottage.A village paralysed by fear.And a pale creature seen watching from the edge of the dark before every tragedy strikes.As the sea crashes beneath the cliffs of Looe, an ancient terror returns beneath the moonlight — silent, patient and waiting.Because in Cornwall, some stories are not merely told.They are remembered by the land itself.Iago and Gronwy figures https://www.etsy.com/shop/timebetweentimes/?etsrc=sdtOwen's Websitewww.welshstoryteller.comOwen's Ko-fi pagewww.ko-fi.com/owenstatonOwen's Patreonwww.patreon.com/owenstaton7Have a great week FriendsOwen x

In "The Fragility of Trust in Leadership," Timothy Staton delves into the critical role of trust within organizations. This episode explores how trust varies across different leadership levels, emphasizing its delicate nature as responsibilities increase. Key concepts include the "Goldilocks leadership" approach, which balances firmness and empathy. Staton discusses how trust is built on character and competence, and why emotional discipline and transparency are vital for leaders. This insightful episode is essential for understanding how trust shapes organizational culture and leadership effectiveness. Core Points: Trust diminishes as leadership responsibilities grow. Senior leaders have less room for mistakes due to broader consequences impacting entire organizations and external stakeholders. Leader behavior, even subtle actions or silence, is amplified at senior levels, directly shaping organizational culture and team confidence. Culture is defined by tolerated behaviors, not just stated values. Leaders who overlook substandard actions inadvertently set new, lower expectations. Effective leadership balances empathy and accountability. It requires both strong character and proven competence, with neither being sufficient alone. Leadership fit is crucial. Placing a technically skilled individual in a leadership role without considering their suitability for that specific context, team, and season can harm organizational culture.

Tonight, on The Time Between Times Storytelling Podcast, Owen Staton journeys deep into the haunted hills of old Wales to uncover one of the most chilling and forgotten fairy legends ever told.Two men walk home beneath the moonlight after a fair in Bala. Only one returns.The other has vanished amongst the standing stones after hearing impossible music drifting across the dark hills…Soon whispers spread through the valley. Murder is suspected. Friend turns against friend. And the lonely road through the Berwyn mountains becomes a place of dread.But months later, the missing man returns with a terrible tale:of silver-eyed dancers…golden halls beneath the earth…and an evening of revelry that lasted far longer than any mortal night.In this dark and atmospheric retelling of a rare nineteenth-century Welsh fairy legend, Owen Staton brings to life the eerie beauty of the Tylwyth Teg and the ancient belief that some roads in Wales do not entirely belong to our world.So dim the lights, stir the fire, and listen carefully…Because if you hear music upon the hills after midnight, you must never follow it.https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/4494952490/the-robbers-of-penwyllt-iago-and-gronwy?ls=s&ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=Iago+and+Gronwy&ref=sr_gallery-1-1&local_signal_search=1&content_source=0b413d7c-9244-4622-b760-72fced06b30e%253ALT8d744fd33c2df938f97c839518c72705459d09e8&organic_search_click=1&logging_key=0b413d7c-9244-4622-b760-72fced06b30e%3ALT8d744fd33c2df938f97c839518c72705459d09e8www.welshstoryteller.comOwen's ko-fiwww.ko-fi.com/owenstatonOwen's Patreonwww.patreon.com/owenstaton7Take care my friendsOwen

In this message, Marriage on Mission, we continue the Some Assembly Required series by exploring God's design for marriage and how His truth can transform even the most broken relationships. While marriage can be one of life's greatest blessings, it can also be deeply challenging—and often the root issue isn't just struggle, but believing lies about what marriage truly is.Drawing from Scripture, we're reminded that while the enemy spreads deception, Jesus declares in John 8:32 that truth brings freedom. This message uncovers five common lies that can quietly damage marriages and replaces them with God's life-giving truth.This message explores:✔ Why marriage is not a contract, but a covenant rooted in commitment before God✔ The truth that we can't change our spouse—but God can transform hearts✔ Why marriage isn't 50/50, but a call to give 100% in love and service✔ How small, hidden sins can grow into major разрушers if left unconfessed✔ The hope we have in Christ, even when marriage feels broken beyond repairThrough passages like Mark 10:6–9 and Ephesians 5:25, we see that God's design for marriage reflects His covenant love—faithful, sacrificial, and enduring. When we replace lies with truth, stop striving for control, and surrender to God's work in us, He begins to restore what feels lost.No matter how difficult things may seem, this message reminds us that there is always hope with God. Healing begins when we confess, commit, and invite Jesus to the center of our relationships.

There are some houses that remember…And there are some that refuse to forget.This week on Time Between Times, storyteller Owen Staton invites you to step beyond the threshold of Burton Agnes Hall, where beauty and terror have walked hand in hand for over four hundred years. In this chilling new episode, Owen breathes life into the legend of Anne Griffith—the young woman who loved her home so fiercely… that even death could not take her from it.Beaten on a lonely road and carried back to the house she adored, Anne's final words would echo through the centuries: she would never rest unless part of her remained within those walls.What followed is one of England's most unsettling hauntings.A skull hidden deep within the fabric of the house.Footsteps in empty corridors.And a silence that only holds… so long as she is obeyed.With his signature blend of warmth, wit, and creeping dread, Owen Staton weaves history, folklore, and atmosphere into a tale that lingers long after the final word is spoken. Expect candlelit corridors, echoing chambers, and a story that tightens slowly… before refusing to let go.Perfect listening for dark evenings, long journeys, or those quiet hours when the house around you begins to feel… just a little too still.Dare you listen?www.welshstoryteller.comwww.ko-fi.com/owenstatonwww.patreon.com/owenstaton7

The Man Who Walked Behind HimselfThere are some things in Welsh folklore that do not scream… do not chase… do not haunt in the way we expect.They simply wait.In this chilling episode of Time Between Times, storyteller Owen Staton invites you into the shadowed churchyard of St Digain's Church—where an ancient yew tree has watched centuries pass… and where one man, walking home from a wake, encountered something far more terrifying than a ghost.He saw himself.Not as he was……but as he would be.Drawing on the deeply unsettling Celtic belief of the fetch—a living person's double, seen only before death—this episode weaves atmosphere, folklore, and quiet dread into a tale that lingers long after the telling.Because in Wales, the land remembers……and sometimes… it shows you what's waiting ahead.Listen closely.

A simple hunt.A quiet vigil in the branches of an ancient oak.And then… a sound.“Oh… Oh…”What follows is a story of stillness… of fear… and of something that waits in the darkness, not to strike… but to watch.So settle in, lower the lights, and let the world fall away for a while…as we step together into that thin place between night and morning…where not everything that walks the woods belongs to the living.—Time Between Times is written and narrated by Owen Staton, a master storyteller whose voice has become a quiet fireside for listeners across the world.

Tonight, we ride into the haunted heart of the Vale of Neath.Into a land of black cliffs, hidden waterfalls and ancient forests where the mist curls through the trees like the breath of something old and watching.In this episode, we follow the shadowed trail of Gwyn ap Nudd, the wild and terrible king of Annwn, as he rides through the valleys above Pontneddfechan with the Cŵn Annwn at his heels. We stand beneath the towering rocks of Craig y Ddinas, where fairy music was once said to drift from hidden caves, and where the people of the valley believed the Tylwyth Teg still danced beneath the moon.This is a journey into the old Wales. Into the Wales of sleeping kings beneath the hills, phantom hunts in the darkness and ancient landscapes where the veil between worlds grows thin.So light the fire. Listen to the wind in the trees. And if, somewhere in the distance, you hear the cry of hunting horns… perhaps do not answer.www.welshstoryteller.comwww.ko-fi.com/owenstatonwww.patreon.com/owenstaton7#WelshFolklore #GhostStories #GwynApNudd #ValeOfNeath #Annwn #WildHunt #CwnAnnwn #OwenStaton #FolklorePodcast

Time between Times Storytelling with Owen StatonThe Wonder of the Wollaton Gnomes There are places in Britain where the world feels… softer. Thinner. As though reality itself loosens its grip just enough for something older — something stranger — to slip through.On a September evening in 1979, in the shadowed woods of Wollaton Park, a group of children stumbled into just such a moment.What they encountered has never been explained.Tiny figures. No taller than a child's knee.Pointed hats. Long white beards.And impossibly… small, silent cars gliding through the twilight.They came in numbers. Dozens of them.Moving like a procession from another world.Watching. Playing. Chasing.For fifteen minutes, the ordinary world slipped away.And when it returned… nothing was ever quite the same again.In this episode, we step into the hush of evening, into the smell of wet earth and the deepening shadows, and we ask:What did those children really see? Was this imagination… or encounter and why do stories of “little people” echo across centuries of British folklore?This is not just a story.It is a glimpse… into the time between times.www.welshstoryteller.comKo- fi www.ko-fi.com/owenstatonpatreon - www.patreon.com/owenstaton7EnjoyOwen x

There are moments in this world… when something slips through.Something ancient. Something uninvited. Something that does not belong to the neat, ordered version of reality we have built for ourselves.And this week… I find myself standing at the edge of one of those moments.

Time Between Times – The Spectral Lady of Waterston Road There are roads we travel every day…and then there are roads that remember us.This week on Time Between Times, we journey deep into the quiet, coastal heart of Pembrokeshire… to Waterston Road — a place where the hedgerows whisper, the night air thickens… and something walks when it should not.Locals speak in hushed tones of the Waterston Lady — a lone, spectral figure drifting along the roadside beneath the moon. Those who have seen her describe a pale glow, a chilling silence… and the dreadful feeling that they were not alone, even after she vanished.But she is not the only presence bound to this lonely stretch of road.Because sometimes…when the mist rolls in from the Milford Haven Waterway…a phantom carriage is heard before it is seen.Hooves striking the tarmac.Wheels creaking through the dark.A journey that has never truly ended.Is Waterston Road haunted by a restless spirit… or is it something older?A place where the past bleeds into the present…and the veil grows thin.Step carefully…and join me.

Time Between Times PodcastThe Death of Dic PenderynIn this powerful and deeply moving episode of Time Between Times, Welsh storyteller Owen Staton journeys into the fiery heart of industrial Wales to tell the tragic and haunting story of Dic Penderyn.Travel back with Owen to the iron town of Merthyr Tydfil in 1831, where furnaces roared day and night and thousands of workers laboured in smoke and hardship beneath the shadow of powerful ironmasters like William Crawshay.When poverty, injustice and desperation finally erupted into rebellion during the Merthyr Rising, a quiet young labourer from the village of Penderyn would find himself caught in the brutal machinery of power and politics.Accused of stabbing a soldier during the uprising, Dic Penderyn was tried in Cardiff, condemned to death, and hanged outside the walls of Cardiff Gaol in 1831.But was he guilty?Or was he sacrificed as a warning to the working people of Wales?In this atmospheric twenty-minute story Owen brings the past to life with passion, history and heart. From the blazing furnaces of Merthyr to the lonely scaffold in Cardiff, and finally to Dic's resting place at St Mary's Church, this is a tale of rebellion, injustice and the echoes that still linger in the valleys of Wales.And as always in the world of Time Between Times, the story does not end with death… because some say the spirit of Dic Penderyn still walks beneath the mist of the mountains.So dim the lights, settle in, and join Owen Staton for a story of courage, tragedy and memory.

In this week's message from James 4:13–5:6, we explore Making the Most of Your Life and are confronted with a sobering truth: our lives are like a mist — here for a moment and then gone. James challenges the common assumption that competence, success, and wealth mean we have life under control. Instead, he reminds us that the future is uncertain and every breath we take is a gift from God.James addresses those who confidently plan their future as if tomorrow is guaranteed. Planning itself is not the problem; the danger lies in the posture of the heart. When we live as if we control our own destiny, we forget our dependence on God. True wisdom acknowledges God's sovereignty and approaches life with humility, recognizing that every plan ultimately rests in His hands.The passage also warns about the temptation to build our lives around temporary things. Wealth, possessions, accomplishments, and status may seem significant now, but James reminds us that the tide of eternity is always coming. One day everything temporary will fade, and what will truly matter is whether our lives were invested in what lasts forever — the Word of God and the souls of people.This message invites us to step back and examine what we are living for. Many people spend their lives chasing success, security, or recognition, only to discover that these things cannot satisfy or endure. Scripture calls us instead to live with eternity in view, allowing the reality of life's brevity to shape our priorities and decisions.James also reminds us that life's shortness should move us to action. Knowing the right thing to do and failing to do it is sin. Because life is fragile and fleeting, we cannot afford to delay obedience, reconciliation, generosity, or faithfulness to God. The time to follow Christ, serve others, and live faithfully is not someday — it is today.In this message, we explore:✔ Why James describes our lives as a mist✔ The difference between planning with pride and planning with humility✔ How self-reliance can quietly replace dependence on God✔ The danger of living for temporary wealth and achievements✔ Why eternity must shape how we view success and purpose✔ The difference between sins of commission and sins of omission✔ Why delayed obedience is still disobedience✔ How to live each day with humility, eternity, and immediacy in viewThough our lives are brief, the hope of the gospel is that Jesus is not a mist. Through His death and resurrection, He offers eternal life to all who trust in Him. Because of that hope, we can live each day with purpose — investing our lives in what truly matters and making the most of the time God has given us.

Time Between Times PodcastEpisode: The Black Nun of LlangrannogOn this episode of Time Between Times, Owen takes you back to the windswept cliffs of west Wales… and to a childhood memory that still sends a shiver down the spine.As a boy in the 1980s, Owen travelled to the great Welsh youth camp at Urdd Gobaith Cymru Llangrannog Centre, a place of laughter, adventure, and independence for generations of young people through Urdd Gobaith Cymru.But when darkness fell, the dormitories told a different story.Whispers moved from bed to bed…Footsteps seemed to echo in the corridors…And somewhere in the shadows walked a figure dressed entirely in black.The Black Nun.In this deeply personal and atmospheric episode, Owen shares his own childhood terror of the mysterious figure said to haunt the camp. Where did the legend come from? Is it simply a story passed between generations of children… or does the land above Cardigan Bay remember something far older?Expect wind off the sea, creaking corridors, childhood fears, and a haunting figure who may still walk the halls long after lights out.So settle in, turn the lights down low… and join Owen as we return to Llangrannog, where the line between memory and myth grows wonderfully thin.

During our MVMT WKND breakout sessions, students had the opportunity to go deeper in understanding and engaging with the Bible. We unpacked how the Bible was made, explaining its history, formation, and why we can trust it as God's inspired Word. Each session equipped students with practical tools to not only read the Bible, but to understand it and build their lives on it.

In this episode of Gangland Wire, host Gary Jenkins, retired Kansas City Police Intelligence Unit detective, steps outside traditional Mafia territory and into a shadowy world just as dangerous—and just as fascinating: the international theft of ultra-rare automobiles.  Gary is joined by author Stayton Bonner, former senior editor at Rolling Stone, and legendary car-recovery specialist Joe Ford, the real-life figure behind Bonner's book The Million Dollar Car Detective. At the center of the story is a breathtaking pre-World War II automobile—the Talbot-Lago Teardrop Coupé—once described as the most beautiful car in the world. Stolen from a Milwaukee industrialist's garage in 2001, the car vanished into the international underground of elite collectors, forged paperwork, and high-stakes deception. Joe Ford explains how he became the go-to investigator when rare cars worth millions disappear—and why stolen vehicles are far harder to recover than stolen art. What follows is a years-long global hunt involving disgruntled mechanics, fabricated titles, shell corporations, Swiss intermediaries, and a billionaire buyer now locked in civil litigation. Bonner adds rich historical context, tracing the car's glamorous past—from European aristocracy to Hollywood royalty—and exposing how loneliness, obsession, and greed often surround these legendary machines. The conversation expands into other notorious cases, including the disappearance of the original James Bond Aston Martin from Goldfinger, and how wealthy collectors sometimes knowingly harbor stolen artifacts. This episode is a true-crime story without guns or gangs—but filled with deception, betrayal, and the relentless pursuit of justice across borders. If you love investigative work, high-end crime, and stories that feel like James Bond meets Gone in 60 Seconds, this one's for you.

This week on Time Between Times, come with me into a hush of leaves and the long, listening dark…In the quiet woods of the Gower, when the birds fall silent and the light thins to a bruise of blue, some walkers glimpse a woman standing between the trees. She does not call. She does not chase. She only watches.Settle by the firepit and let the world loosen its grip as I tell the true-told tale of The Lady in the Woods — a story of old paths, ancient stones, and the soft, unsettling feeling that the forest remembers more than it should. Leave your worries with the embers. Walk the path with me. But don't step off it.

This Week on Tales from the Time Between Times Tonight, by the low glow of the firepit at the heart of the forest, Owen Staton invites you to lay down the weight of the day and step softly into the dark. Inspired by the haunting artwork of Katie Marland, this week's tale carries us over Croydon Hill, where an old road bends, the wind whispers of old sins… and something ancient is said to still walk.Come closer to the flames. Let the world grow quiet. Breathe deep.And listen, as Owen tells the terrifying legend of the Devil of Croydon Hill — a story of dread, mercy, and the thin places where our world wears away.If these tales bring you comfort in the dark, you can find more stories, shows, and whispers from the woods here:

 Christians today are hungry for authentic spiritual experiences, yet all too often they don't have the knowledge of or relationship with the Holy Spirit that is the key to a fully alive spirituality. Pastor Tyler Staton shares from his book, "The Familiar Stranger: (Re)Introducing the Holy Spirit to Those in Search of an Experiential Spirituality."   Originally aired February 7, 2025   Check out Susie's new podcast God Impressions on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts!   Faith Radio podcasts are made possible by your support.

Some stories refuse to rest.High above the Severn plain, within the red-stone walls of Powis Castle, a presence once walked the corridors by candlelight — not to terrify, not to threaten… but to finish something left undone.In this episode of Time Between Times, we step quietly into the shadows of an eighteenth-century Welsh castle, where an old woman, a hidden chest, and a ghost clad in gold lace cross paths in the stillness of night. It is a tale of silence and listening, of trust placed in the dark, and of a spirit bound not by malice — but by duty.This is a story that lives in the spaces between — between rooms, between centuries, between the living and the dead.So draw closer.Lower your voice.And walk with me…into the time between times.

Time Between Times Storytelling with Owen StatonStep with me, if you will, into the gloaming — that soft, half-lit hour where the old stories still breathe and the past leans close enough to whisper.As St Dwynwen's Day draws near, it feels only right to open the door to Wales' most heart-rending tales of doomed love. Tonight, on Time Between Times, we walk a sorrowful, beautiful road. We begin on the shores of Llanddwyn, with the aching legend of Dwynwen, the Welsh saint of lovers — her heart broken, her prayers carried on the tide. From there, we journey inland to Nant Gwrtheyrn, where the wind still knows the names of Rhys and Meinir, childhood sweethearts torn apart on the very morning of their wedding. A story of searching. Of storms. Of love that refuses to lie quietly in the grave.I'm joined this evening by the wonderful Russ Williams, author of Where the Folk, a lyrical road trip through the living folklore of Wales — a book that reminds us these stories are not relics, but companions, waiting by the roadside for those willing to listen.So draw closer to the fire. Let the night press in at the windows. This is a time for love stories that end in shadow, but never truly end at all.

This week I am joined by the wonderful folklorist Amy Boucher, and together we wander into the shadowed lanes and hedgerows of Shropshire to speak of one of its most intriguing figures — the cunning man Thomas Light. A man whispered about rather than written down. A man of charms, counter-spells, and uneasy knowledge. We explore his life, his reputation, and the strange power such figures once held over their communities — half feared, half needed, and never entirely trusted.And as the embers glow, I also share a famous and unsettling tale of the Welsh seer Huw Llwyd, a story carried on the breath of generations, heavy with prophecy, second sight, and the terrible cost of knowing too much.So draw your chair closer to the fire. Let the dark stay where it belongs. And step with us, just for a while, into the Time Between TimesFind Amy Boucher here:Amy Boucher – https://nearlyknowledgeablehistory.blogspot.comAmy Boucher – Blue sky - @g0blinegg.bsky.socialMore of my work:Welshstoryteller.comIf you'd like to support the show:Ko-fi.com/owenstatonPatreon.com/owenstaton7Read my Substack:Owen Staton – owenstaton.substack.comTake care, my friends… and I'll see you, once again, by the fire.

In this special episode of Time between Times, I'm joined by the wonderful artist Katie Marland — a creator whose work feels as though it has stepped straight out of the old stories and into the present moment. Together we wander that twilight space where art meets folklore, where imagination is rooted deep in the soil of myth, memory, and the half-heard whispers of the past.Katie speaks about her creative process, her love of folklore, and the quiet power of stories that refuse to be forgotten. We talk about the pull of old tales, why certain images return to us again and again, and how art can act as a doorway — a way of slipping, just for a moment, into the time between times.And, of course, no gathering like this would be complete without a story.As the embers glow, I share one of Katie's favourite traditional tales — a story shaped by shadow and wonder, told as it was meant to be told: aloud, slowly, and with heart. It's a tale that lingers, the kind that stays with you long after the final words have been spoken.So settle in, listen close, and let yourself drift a while.Katie MarlandWebsite:www.katiemarland.comInstagram:@kmarlandartOwen StatonWebsite: www.welshstoryteller.comKo-fi: www.ko-fi.com/owenstatonPatreon: www.patreon.com/owenstaton7Substack:https://open.substack.com/pub/owenstaton/p/time-between-times-storytelling-with-98d?r=56bicy&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=trueMy heartfelt, thanks to Katie for her time, her generosity, and her art — and to you, dear listener, for keeping the old stories alive by listening.Until next time,Nos Da Owen x Marland

We're excited to welcome Seattle-based interior designer Lisa Staton to the show. With more than 20 years of experience, her firm is known for seamlessly blending current trends with timeless appeal to create spaces that feel both fresh and rooted in history. Lisa joins Taryn and Caroline to discuss her East Coast upbringing, how she navigates the "algorithm era" of design, and why she believes every room needs a mix of old and new. She shares her philosophy on "Soup and Symphony" design, how to choose the right white paint for your region, and why the house itself is always the first client. Quick Decorating Takeaways: Use the House as Your Guide: Let the home's original architecture be your "guiding life force" when renovating. Matching details like millwork to the original style creates a cohesive foundation, allowing for trendy updates without losing character.  Practice "Soup and Symphony": Focus on how all design elements work together rather than critiquing individual pieces. Like a soup or symphony, the magic lies in the harmonious blend of textures, colors, and furniture, not just the single ingredients.  Respect Your Region's Light: Choose paint colors based on your specific location's light, not just what looks good in photos. For example, the blue-toned light of the Pacific Northwest calls for warmer whites to avoid sterility, unlike a sun-drenched desert home.  What You'll Hear on This Episode: 00:00 Welcome & Introductions 01:45 Lisa's background: From Boston history to Sotheby's art auctions 04:00 The "Algorithm Effect": How social media homogenizes design 06:00 Balancing high-end design with accessible updates 09:00 How to respect architecture without creating a "period piece" 11:00 Designing for location: Why a Cape Cod style doesn't always work in Arizona 13:00 The collaborative process and avoiding "reverse Google search" design 15:00 The "Soup and Symphony" analogy for cohesive interiors 19:00 Mixing traditional cabinetry with sleek, modern furniture 25:00 Designing for the Pacific Northwest: Coziness and light management 28:00 Lisa's go-to white paints for different lights 31:00 Tips for choosing exterior paint colors 36:00 Decorating Dilemma: Updating a beige-on-beige rental apartment 44:00 Why you should embrace "weird" art and vintage finds 52:00 Closing notes & where to find Lisa Also Mentioned: Lisa Staton Design | Website Follow Lisa on Instagram: @lisastatondesign Paint Colors Mentioned: Sherwin Williams Alabaster, Benjamin Moore Simply White, Lancaster White, Swiss Coffee Shop Ballard Designs Please send in your questions so we can answer them on our next episode!

There is something about Christmas that invites old stories back into the light.The nights grow longer. The wind finds its voice in the bare branches. And somewhere, just beyond the glow of the firepit, the past waits patiently to be heard once more.In this special festive episode, I invite you to join me by the fire for a winter tale steeped in honour, mystery, and the old magic of Britain. Together, we step into the medieval world of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight — a story born of Christmas feasting and New Year challenges, where courage is tested not by sword alone, but by truth, humility, and the keeping of one's word.From King Arthur's candlelit hall to a snow-laden forest and a chapel of uncanny green stone, this is a tale that carries the chill of winter and the warmth of human frailty in equal measure. It is a story about bravery, yes — but also about temptation, fear, and the quiet strength it takes to face judgement when the games are done.As the embers crackle and the dark presses close, I'll guide you through this ancient legend in my own voice, as it might once have been told: slowly, deliberately, and with room for the listener to wander its shadows.If you enjoy this tale and would like to explore more stories, folklore, and fireside tellings, you can find me atwww.welshstoryteller.comYou can also support my work through:Ko-fi: ko-fi.com/owenstatonPatreon: patreon.com/owenstaton7Substack: owenstaton.substack.comhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-signalman-by-charles-dickens-read-on-christmas-eve-by-owen-staton-tickets-1975348008067?aff=oddtdtcreatorSo draw closer to the fire, let the winter night settle around you, and listen — for Christmas is the perfect time for a challenge, and every story demands its answer.Take care my friends and Nadolig LlawenOwen x

In the shadowed hollows where myth bleeds into memory, the devil's footprints mark the ancient soil of Welsh lore. In this spellbinding episode of Time Between Times with Owen Staton, we journey deep into the dark heart of folklore to uncover the devil's many disguises: the horned tempter lurking at crossroads, the twisted whisper in windswept valleys that chills even the bravest soul, and the monstrous forms born of peasant fear and firelight tales. From cavernous caves beneath Cambrian hills to lonely tracks where lost travellers swear they've heard infernal laughter, Welsh tradition paints the devil not only as a tempter of souls but as a trickster spirit shaping the very landscape of fear itself. This isn't just legend — it's the folklore of shadowed hearts and ancient woods coming alive in the dark between the worlds.In this haunting episode, host Owen Staton welcomes special guest Amy Boucher, an expert folklorist, storyteller, and chronicler of ghostly traditions. Amy brings sharp insight and passion to the underbelly of folklore, illuminating how tales of the devil and otherworldly mischief reflect the fears, morals, and imaginations of communities through time. Together, Owen and Amy weave stories that blur the line between history and myth, revealing how tales of the devil endure in our collective psyche.About our guest: Amy Boucher is the writer and folklorist behind the blog Nearly Knowledgeable History — a trove of curious stories, folklore, and cultural insights.
