Many years ago when I was studying at University, during holidays I used to work in a bookmakers. It was a wonderful experience for a young man learning about people and life.
‘Welshman’ is a short story based on those experiences, and whilst it is not a retelling of a specific event nor portraying real individuals, it is the kind of scenario which could potentially play out anywhere up and down the country on any given day.
You can find the episode on Buzzsprout, or your usual podcast providers – just search for Walkingthrufire or my name.
‘Welshman’ appears in my 2017 short story collection ‘Secrets & Wisdom‘.
