Once in a while we're short handed at Kraken Cove (excuse the pun!) so we'll be calling these Lite House episodes.
This week, Benny was on the mainland with Rowboat Pete, seeing a man about a dog, so Matt does a bit of solo casting on a single topic.
In this episode he looks at the legendary Hand of Glory!
What is it? How does it work? Does it even exist?
Find the answer to all these qustions at Kraken Cove's Lite House!

Benny and Matt's fishing trip goes badly wrong, but if they can't cast a line, Matt can still do a different kind of casting!

Follow us on Twitter @KrakenCove and on Instagram @krakencovepod to see a few pictures of what we're waffling about!

The weather has closed in on Kraken Cove so Matt & Benny are sipping rum, reading books and getting cosy. What better time for a spot of casting?
In this episode we listen to the rain and also listen to Matt's stories of the Zombie Cicadas, Sharks eyes, The Lantern Men of the Cambridgeshire Fens, The Smell of Space, The First person to be Mauled by a Tiger In England and the incredible Lillie Lenton!
Rain fell heavily throughout this recording, along with a few spots of thunder, so pack a rain coat!
