Our Christmas special is our favourite-ever episode featuring a story by our youngest-ever writer, seven-year-old Joe Elder. Joe's story is called Joe and the Gang and has superpowers, villains and extra special heroes who save Christmas from the evil Dark! We also have an exclusive Christmas tune from the amazing Lucy McWilliams. Merry Christmas and... Fair play.

Think Cruyff, slobs of mayonnaise on steaming chips, think canals, lager, juniper berries, tulips and land reclamation, rampant lions, Rembrandt and the bright luminosity of the colour orange. Yes. You’ve got it. Dit is de nederlandse special. Today our story is ‘Nowhere To Be Found’ by Laura-Blaise McDowell. Laura holds an MA in Creative Writing from UCD. She had two short stories on the 2019 Writing.ie Short Story of the Year Award longlist, with Balloon Animals making the shortlist. Our voice actor today is Morag Dine. Morag is currently studying her research masters in literary studies at the University of Amsterdam. If you like the sound of her voice reading things, she also has her own podcast, called Two Sluts, One Book. Thank you to all the artists who appeared on this show we had: ‘Poison’ by TOYGIRL, ‘The Glitter’ and ‘The Gold Shoes’ by Maija Sofia, ‘Lowlands of Holland’ by Ye Vagabonds and ‘All For The Best’ by Bleeding Heart Pigeons.
