Producer’s note: it’s too on the nose, tone it down.

Samuel Barnett's Unknown is back with a Christmas Special Investigation - were two priests really terrorised on Christmas Eve in their Mini Metro by aliens? pod.link/1850303958

And our festive episode of Samuel Barnett’s Unknown has just landed!

A special Instant Finish for Christmas Eve - we take a look at the highly unanticipated Hells Bells - and we learn that we are selfish ungrateful sods who should listen to something first and judge afterwards… youtu.be/_CBqlw-WC40?...

So apparently there are many Epstein files on the DOJ website where you can highlight the redacted text, copy it, and paste it onto another document to read the redactions

“He raped me.” “Donald J Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.” “She was found with her head ‘blown off’… there was no way it was a suicide.” Now we’re starting to see why Trump was hiding the Epstein files, and it probably gets much worse.

OUT NOW! 😈🔔 Click https://bgfn.sh/bells to listen to Bonnie Langford's hellish Christmas. (Hint: it's got nothing to do with Paddington the Musical!)

Just read a BBC article about thieves who targeted gay men using Grindr. They threatened and humiliated their targets, hoping they'd be too ashamed to report the crimes. The blatant homophobia used by lawyers in court about the victims is really awful! It basically reads as 'they deserved it'!

Loved working as Assistant Producer on The War Between the Land and the Sea. Bereft all over again. Thanks to everyone who’s been watching :) PICK IT UP!

In my teens I used to look forward to my parents buying the Christmas Radio Times because film listings included the age ratings. A hormone riddled me would scour for anything 18 rated. You had to take what you could back then.

All advertising says, "You're not good enough." You're not thin enough. Your teeth aren't white enough. Your clothes aren't cool enough. AI ads say You can't write an email without our help. You can't draw a picture without our help. You can't cope with life without our help. It's BULLSHIT.

Some of these redactions are almost like modern art

Loving the updated White House portrait.

WHAT?! This has made my day. I’m so excited. Loved the series! Cannot wait for more!

A Christmas episode of Samuel Barnett’s Unknown will be coming next week. Catch up on series one NOW - wherever you get your podcasts 🎅🏻 🎄 👽 🎁 🛸 🚘

Which words have given you happiness this year? I’d love to hear them. (And if you fancy some distraction over the holidays, do give my word game Two Words a try. twowords2.page.link/play)

Finally listening to Samuel Barnett’s Unknown. Such a joy to listen to. I’m already sad I only have 6 episodes of this. @gossjam.bsky.social

For those of us worried AI is gonna end creative jobs, I heard a funny story this weekend from a parent of one of my kids classmates who happens to be a production designer. He builds sets and things like that. He's worked on Ray Donovan, Always Sunny, and a bunch of FX shows.

Where is Shakespeare's missing play Cardenio? In the last episode of Samuel Barnett's Unknown, Sam has an answer and Tom has a Netflix show. pod.link/1850303958

Little jaunt five miles down to the Romanche Trench in episodes 3 and 4 of The War Between the Land and the Sea - available to (re)watch now on BBC iPlayer!

Heartbreaking night where I told the final audience for Monkey Cage that I will ever play to that I had no choice but to resign

If any of you are watching the Sea Devils on BBC4, the fort that the Doctor and Jo visit is not far from the Mary Rose wreck site.

Episode 5 of Samuel Barnett's Unknown - Sam's solving a lonely mystery in the oldest churchyard in London. Will Tom leave him alone? pod.link/1850303958

Episode Three of Samuel Barnett's Unknown contains some absolutely corking historical facts, including the story of Sir John Soanes' chaos goblin son George. Highly recommend - Episode Flour's out tomorrow.

When you try to explain why scripted development can take so long, it's almost embarrassing to have to tell people that it does not boil down to some very specific, rigorous process, but rather that it might take you 5 days to write a draft, and seventeen weeks to get each set of notes back on it.

My daughter misheard this Christmas classic one year and, well.

Episode 4 of Samuel Barnett's Unknown. Tom and Sam have found THREE copes of Shakespeare's Cardenio, but Sam's about to get his Netflix show so his heart isn't really in it. Meanwhile, Tom does some research and records a self-tape

Loved tackling the final Torchwood main range trilogy for @bigfinish.bsky.social. This release has an absolutely blistering cast, including a Whoniverse alumnus I’ve been dying to get behind the microphone…

This episode of the search for Cardenio ends on a cliffhangerl "He dramatically announced, dramatically!!": pca.st/podcast/3a74...

Halfway through the series!

Here's a highlight from Episode 2 of Samuel Barnett's Unknown as Sam and Tom find out what the ghost of a cook has to do with the missing Shakespeare play Cardenio

The whole process of Samuel Barnett's Unknown has been a delight. Sam, Tom, @scotthandcock1984.bsky.social and I decided to do something a bit different - finding a new way of making audio. One of the loveliest things has been that it's found an audience so quickly, and the feedback.

I didn’t submit this, but might as well have…

Asked whether there is anything incriminating in the Epstein files, Trump responds by telling a female reporter to be "quiet" and seemingly calling her "piggy." This is not how an innocent man behaves. Trump cannot hide his misogyny even for his own benefit.

In this week's Samuel Barnett's Unknown, they start in the ruins of a bookshop and end up meeting the ghost of a cook. Tom still has to film a self-tape and Sam still has to find Shakespeare's Cardenio.

Episode TWO of our ridiculous new podcast - Samuel Barnett’s Unknown - is available to listen to… NOW!

it’s cool how every newspaper is now like “hehe bribery isn’t real when the king says so”

A bit of nonsense from a few years back, and pretty fitting with The War Between the Land and the Sea almost here, not to mention the new feature-length cut of The Sea Devils. If you love #DoctorWho and absurdly niche 1970s comic classifieds, this one’s for you. Enjoy!

Directed this very dark Christmas tale…

the entirety of the british press talked themselves into believing this woman is trans based almost entirely on JK Rowling's judgement of the athlete's appearance.

Well, this is exciting… www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/do...

It begins. The first episode of Samuel Barnett's Unknown is available, wherever you get your podcasts. Sam and Tom are on a quest around London for ghosts, a missing Shakespeare play and paid acting work.

Delighted to contribute the music to this new podcast from @gossjam.bsky.social and @scotthandcock1984.bsky.social. Episode 1 out now!

Episode one of Samuel Barnett’s Unknown — our weekly bonkers investigative podcast — is available to listen to NOW!

Directed People’s Sexiest Man Alive twice for @bigfinish.bsky.social

OUT NOW! 🪐 Click https://bgfn.sh/de3 to hear the next two chapters of The Dalek Eternity audio drama series, starring @lisabowerman.bsky.social​ and @nickbriggs.bsky.social​.

Imagine a spooky literary version of The Trip, but with Samuel Barnett and Tom Price instead of Brydon and Coogan. Written/researched by @gossjam.bsky.social, directed by me, with music by @ioanmorris.bsky.social and a lovely logo from @leebinding.bsky.social. Two actors. One take. No hope…
