Welcome to ClearTales, a podcast of stories tailored specifically for seniors. Hosted by Richard Carlton London, ClearTales provides an engaging auditory escape without the demanding attention span required for lengthy books.

Written for senior adults, and as dementia-friendly, our stories feature easy-to-understand narratives, short chapters, wonderful recognizable music and perfect for those who may experience difficulties with prolonged focus.

It's important to note - these stories are crafted for adults. These are not children's stories. We don't talk down to our audience. As such there are  adult themes and situations, but nothing graphic or shocking...think of it as "Rated PG." Our philosophy - we're are adults in the room here. We can take a PG Rating.

For an optimal experience, we recommend tuning in via headphones or earbuds for added clarity.
