Curious tales. Mysterious moments. The stranger side of the book world.
Likely Stories is a cosy, storytelling podcast for curious minds and book lovers who know that the truth is often stranger than fiction.
Think:
▪︎ Literary hoaxes that fooled the world
▪︎ Haunted libraries and forgotten scandals
▪︎ Odd author habits and eccentric writing rituals
▪︎ True crime book thefts and mysteries hiding in plain sight
Along the way, you’ll hear insights and advice for your writing and creativity, inspired by the ‘likely stories’ and the authors behind them. Perfect for late-night listeners, early-morning scribblers, or anyone who loves a good ‘likely story.’
Have a story idea?
If you know a great bookish mystery, forgotten scandal, or author tale that would make a perfect episode, I’d love to hear from you.
