I’d been struggling with how I’d word a description of how I see Stephen - this is exactly it!
I love Stephen. The face of a doomed WW1 officer and the wardrobe of John Travolta. #thetraitors

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"!

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...

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!

This is lovely. The darkly weird comedy podcast - with whom I have now been officially inducted as one of the troupe - has received a 5 brains review from Podcast Geek. At least, I hope they're brains.
