THE PRIMROSE CHRONICLES
09/28/23 • 27 min
In response to inquiries by faithful fans, Episode 226steps away from tales and talks about the Old Neighborhood & takes a deep dive into the numbers that comprise the TPC fan base, & the possible places & personalities behind them.
It’s a light-hearted, tongue-in-check consideration of what kind of folks might listen in week to week.
Some might even be surprised by the breadth of this little effort’s appeal.
It’s a little shorter offering, so no excuses.
Enjoy!!

HOT ENOUGH FOR YOU?
THE PRIMROSE CHRONICLES
09/12/23 • 29 min
Everyone these days from Coast to Coast has a thought about the oppressive heat so many have been experiencing, but doesn’t that just come with the summer months?
TPC episode 222, “HOT ENOUGH FOR YOU?” Considers that thought, by recalling what those Dog dates were like watt back when, in times when A/C & Refrigeration units were the exception rather than the rule, and greater creativity was necessary to escape the torrid temps.
Listen in as a few attempts at “staying cool” are shared and see if you didn’t try similar in your own desperate attempts “beat the heat” “back in the day”.
Enjoy!!

FINS, ‘PHIBIANS, FEATHERS, FUR & FEELERS- To All The Pets I Tried to Care for
THE PRIMROSE CHRONICLES
07/09/23 • 33 min
Do you remember the critters you took as pets growing up?
Do you even recall their names & even their untimely demises?
If so, Episode 218 of TPC may strike several familiar chords.
If you’re a little fuzzy on those in your care, perhaps the short vignettes that make up this Season 2 audio installment will stir some fresh remembrances.
Or maybe not & if that’s the case, take a listen & smile just a little at the misfortunes of one well meaning junior caretaker and the unfortunate members of the animal kingdom in his charge.
Then respond with what you think, either as a comment in The Primrose Chronicles FB page or email the host at [email protected].
Enjoy

THE WHITE SHIRT DIRECTIVE
THE PRIMROSE CHRONICLES
06/17/23 • 27 min
Episode 216 of the Chronicles assumes the same role as the earlier TPC audio installment, 211.
That story, “Mabel, Mabel... “, gave the project’s host an opportunity to honor HIS Mother and by extension, Mom’s everywhere,
All that because Mother’s Day was right around the corner.
This Sunday is the masculine expression of a similar day, Father’s Day so this is a similar yarn.
To set it up in this description would take as long as the installment itself, just go for it.
Just take a listen& see if you don’t smile & even chuckle before becoming warmed by the outcome.
Hope it leads you to your own memories of your Pop.
Enjoy!!

MY OWN SCUT FARKISS AFFAIR
THE PRIMROSE CHRONICLES
10/14/22 • 23 min
The Christmas Classic, A Christmas Story, actually offers several sub-plots that are reminiscent of the incidents in the childhood of many.
Such is the case for Ralphie’s yellow-eyed nemesis and a singular event in this episode of TPC.
SPOILER ALERT - Ralphie comes across in his story better than the narrator does in his, but it should prove to be an enjoyable tale, nonetheless.
It’s little shorter in length than recent installments and ends with an important announcement about the future of Chronicles.
Enjoy & blessings!

MY ICU ESCAPADE
THE PRIMROSE CHRONICLES
02/29/24 • 35 min
It’s been 5 months since the host & narrator of The Primrose Chronicles brought the curtain down on Season Two.
Questions surrounding the launch ofSeason 3 became multiple as new episodes were delayed & faithful listeners began to wonder if a return of the tales, yarns, stories & interviews might ever re-appear.
This is that long-awaited or, at least, slightly wondered about first installment answering questions regarding Marty’s break from broadcasting.
It is unlike any other chapter of the TPC project to date, so take a listen, & share your feedback.
The hope is you’ll enjoy it.
Blessings

THE CAPITAL AVE YEARS

Before there was Primrose, there was Capitol Ave. Enjoy this episode with its tales of dancing parents, competing first borns, maurading cats, talking dogs and friends in the sanitation department, all seen through the 5 year old eyes of The Primfose Chronicles host & narrator, Marty Young.
Enjoy this single installment that might explain a little of his psyche evidenced in later years.
Blessings & enjoy.
