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

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.

And all that development wasn’t paid - once it was commissioned, the production fee was it.

Helen Quigley @soundliness.com · Sep 2

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.

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.

Helen Quigley @soundliness.com · Aug 5

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.

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.

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.
