Yarn Extras

As well as our regular story podcasts we’ve released some behind the scenes episodes and we’ve also tried some other projects outside of podcasting, like a comic book and a radio show. Take a look.

If you’re interested in collaborating on a project we’re all ears. Get in touch by email: yarnstorypodcast (at) gmail.com or @YarnStoryPod on Instagram and Twitter


We’ve made a Motion Comic series inspired by one of our episodes!

The story of James, a teenage boy who's left leg, ‘Lefty’ has a life of its own. Lefty messes up James’ life whenever it can, at the most awkward moments. It's a tale about growing up, friendship and living with Cerebral Palsy. Based on the original Yarn podcast, Lefty the motion comic has been adapted and illustrated by artist Stephen Morton. Part Two is coming soon.

Thread Radio

From the makers of the Yarn story podcast comes this radio show. Dedicated to recommending podcasts, movies, documentaries, YouTube channels, music.. basically anything that makes a sound.

Your Host John Roche puts on his best late night smokey voice and guides you through his selections, threading one choice on to the next.
