If you’re not doing a podcast then you’re voice tracking an online radio station. Guilty on both counts. But it’s soundtracks so thats all good then. Soundtrackradio.co.uk
Noooo! We missed you?! That’s heinous. I’m so sorry. And it was good cake…

Audio people are the BEST people. Lovely evening celebrating 40 years of The Soundhouse!
More comedy podcast nonsense from @soullessparty.bsky.social coming soon - as I do my best storytelling narrator voiceover and we learn what Stig of the Dump did when he grew up.
“Goodness gracious…”
I hope he’s using a left-handed hammer.
“Linda Lusardi, Helen Lederer and me walked into a pub”
“And?”
“No, that’s it.”
Looking forward to Essex’s emergency alert test at 3pm this Sunday…
And all that development wasn’t paid - once it was commissioned, the production fee was it.
I pretty much blew my entire fee just spending 18 months of my time (on and off) getting through the BBC’s two radio drama pitching rounds. It resulted in a commission, but I’ve arguably been working for free since then.
BOOBIES!

That got your attention.

I don’t mean the birds. You’ll have to listen to find out why.

Mark gets winky, I get kneaded by Paul Hollywood and Sam is confused by potatoes.

Listen now to “The One With the Booby Winky Read” from @hdystpodcast.bsky.social now.

Five drinks into the evening and we’re talking podcast ideas. “What Is It And Why is It Sticky?” We’ve got 20 episodes already.
Thank you! I cannot believe no one has ever said “Merry Quigmas” to me until now. Excellent work.
Birthday present from my husband. I’m 50 today so I’m not sure if this is a warning or a threat. @gralefrit.bsky.social
It’s been a slower journey than we expected, but lots learned and definitely worth waiting for!

We have a little holiday place on the Norfolk Broads which is rented out. I obsessively sharpen the knives every time I’m there. Because exactly this.
Premium level radio and comedy geekiness tonight at the Water Rats pub with @paulkerensa.bsky.social and he didn’t even have a laser pointer. In true BBC style, repeats tomorrow.
Conversation tonight somehow came round to that time in 1998 when I met Seth Rogen after his stand up set at a networking event in Vancouver. He was 16, I was 22 and we were introduced. Apparently he’s doing all right now.
I say the words “Brown Window podcast” and one magically appears…
Excellent night of spoken word entertainment at Hot Box in Chelmsford tonight including @andyrileyish.bsky.social with some very “Brown Window” podcast-esque stories. Lovely to see Laura Bradley perform too.
Come be informed, educated and entertained!
Londoners! May I lure you to
'An Evening of (Very) Old Radio: The First Firsts of Broadcasting'
next Tue/Wed at The Water Rats venue, Kings Cross with @camdenfringe.bsky.social?

Me: “Wow, what did you give me? I came round and I swear I could see a tiny horse riffing on a keyboard.”

Nurse “No, that happened.”

Me: “…”
Sorry but personally if a miniature horse woke me up from anesthesia by banging out nonsense on a miniature keyboard it would send me into a liminal space between life and death from which I would never return
Book recommendation: Four Films by Harauld Hughes. Accompanying text to “The Unfinished Harauld Hughes” by Richard Ayoade. Read/listen to that first.

Fans of Timothy West’s “This Gun in My Right Hand is Loaded” will appreciate the nuance of the dialogue.
