If you haven’t had the joy of hearing Patchwuff, go and listen now. It’s not long, and it will make your face wet in the loveliest way.

Women of Radar

For #InternationalWomensDay the last episode of Series 1 of Echoes of Bawdsey The Story of Radar - Women of Radar. The story of how women played a pivotal role in the history of radar & the Second World War is rarely told. I hope this #podcast puts that right.

Look, I’d be the first to say my nascent comics knowledge means my eye may not be very well trained, but even I can see this is bloody amazing work

Crowdfund starts Monday. I am involved.

Don’t try and understand or rationalise it. Just enjoy the silly.

Need to add Bernard Cribbins’ Right Said Fred in the background.

Nothing says a podcast festival is over like John Lewis coming to collect their sofa.

Great to meet @bobfischer.bsky.social in person post his Broken Veil chat with @gralefrit.bsky.social and @willmac23.bsky.social

AAAAARGH! Hit record but didn't arm the track. 30 mins of no narration later, cue meltdown.

How long have I been doing this for a living?!

I was the same with Seurat’s La Grande Jatte, but I knew it was huge because of Ferris Bueller. (I have a photo of me standing in front of it Ferris-Style!)

Delighted to add to my hauntology credentials by lending my voice to the prosecution. Way too much fun.

Series 3 starts today! More weird comedy podcast sketch strangeness is available NOW. Yes, that is Richard Stilgoe, for no particular reason.

I’d been struggling with how I’d word a description of how I see Stephen - this is exactly it!

BBC Radio 4 - Drama on 4, The Goblin King and Me A story about a real-life encounter with David Bowie, marking ten years since his passing.

Listened to this over the weekend. Clearly by a writer (@paulmagrs.bsky.social) with a real passion for Bowie and his work. Loved Sophie Cotton's music too, though I do have a small bias there as she's been creating the music for our dementia drama "Harry's Home"!

BBC Radio 4 - Drama on 4, The Truth about Phyllis Twigg A light-hearted Christmas drama about giving credit where credit’s due.

Available now - the story of Phyllis Twigg the first radio dramatist. A light comedy drama about giving credit where it’s due: even if it takes 100 years.

Drama on 4 - The Truth about Phyllis Twigg - BBC Sounds A light-hearted Christmas drama about giving credit where credit’s due.

We're very proud of Aja Dodd, who has gone straight from Mulgrave Audio to BBC Radio 4! Kudos to director @soundliness.com, who heard Aja in our play 'Fellfoul' and cast her in 'The Truth About Phyllis Twigg', a charming and illuminating new play about the birth of radio drama. It's here...

I love the joy in watching improv. Maybe I should get my arse in gear and find a class!

Back at the Comedy Store last night for the first time in ages seeing off @neilmullarkey.com for his last show with the Comedy Store Players. Fun (of course), a great atmosphere in the room and it brought back lots of memories!

Ridiculously pleased with myself for positing the theory months ago that this series of The Traitors would have a “sleeper” traitor (rather than secret). Though in my version the main three wouldn’t know about the fourth one!
