In the chat for one of the local theatre groups. Would love to see a liberated, free love, hippie version.

Alasdair Beckett-King @misterabk.bsky.social stars as ‘Uncle Paddock’ in the latest episode of CLOPPER! Also starring @bobfischer.bsky.social as the ever quipping back end - Mr McQueeny! Listen now! 🎧 (Wherever you find your podcasts!)

Ooooh no! What happens now? I know, maybe set up a guided tour of all the locations featured. Or not-locations. Or implied locations.

Advert: "Say hello to.." Me: "No."

The latest (and award winning!) Listen Through the Brown Window is out now with another edition of Clopper, this time featuring @misterabk.bsky.social It’s very silly, it’s spooky, it’s hauntological and definitely weirder than Rentaghost ever was. open.spotify.com/episode/1E1g...

I endorse this message.

Just driven myself mad trying to remember which film used an instrumental of Peter Gabriel’s Big Time, because Gary Davies just played it on Radio 2. Spaceballs. The answer is Spaceballs.

LISTEN THROUGH THE BROWN WINDOW A Clopper Special of this award winning podcast arrives tomorrow with @misterabk.bsky.social as one of the special guests. I drew this fun promotional image. Listen Through The Brown Window wherever you get your podcasts.

I was all over Broken Veil as soon as I heard about it - creepy folk hyper-real narrative? Yes please. And that was even before I discovered it was set in and around where I live. Always fun spotting the actual, real-but-not-real locations… anyway. Cough up, go listen.

PEOPLE-KNICKERS returns!

The cast of Angelfish - a Chelmsford Theatre Workshop production in Chelmsford written by Bev Doyle (The Martian Chronicles for BBC Radio 4 and Going Postal for Sky TV) which finished its run on Saturday. What a gorgeous bunch and a joy to direct.

A little something I directed for the stage. Five performances remaining of brand new comic drama Angelfish in Chelmsford.

The Golden Lobes 2026: The Winners #pressrelease #podcasting

Just seen Richard Dawkins telling a speak your weight machine that it's wearing a smashing blouse.

Bloody hell, we only went and won Best Scripted comedy podcast at the Golden Lobes Awards. We were in the same category as the excellent Wooden Overcoats, so doubly gobsmacked! We’re a big team, but four of us went along as representatives.

Heading into London to meet up with three of the Listen Through the Brown Window team (two of whom I’ve never met before) on the off-chance we win an award in the #GoldenLobes2026 Best Scripted category. There is potential for chaos. @soullessparty.bsky.social

When you’re proudly taking a photo of the lighting rigging process for Angelfish at #Chelmsford Theatre Workshop (19 - 23 May!) and fail to notice your stage crew’s predicament.

Swimming pool closed to 'diarrhoea incident' #Essex

Heated disagreement with husband just now about who is responsible for the appearance of a bottle of vegan chilli mayo in the fridge. Both denying responsibility. Based on the BBE, we finally concluded it was a free gift with a recipe box in 2023. It’s mad in this house, I tell you.

It’s Bandcamp Friday! But our audio drama, Harry’s Home is free every day of the week… b7media.bandcamp.com/album/harrys...

Another endorsement for Listen Through the Brown Window this time from the very kind @realmattlucas.bsky.social Even if it was on X…

Are you in or near Chelmsford between 19-23 May? You are? Well how about seeing this brand new play? Gangsters, chancers, heists, farce and a love story set in the London’s East End of 1958… www.ticketsource.com/chelmsford-t...

Sharing again because everyone needs to see and hear an extract of Phil Davis recording this gorgeous monologue.

Evening mist creeping towards me in my Norfolk riverside bolthole. Eerie but beautiful.

What a joy to hear @bobfischer.bsky.social in series 2 of Broken Veil with his BBC Tees story. 😁 Scariest experience I had in broadcasting were the mice that emerged during my London overnight traffic shifts. ON THE 29TH FLOOR OF CENTRE POINT

A peek behind the scenes of Harry’s Home as actor Phil Davis delivers one of Harry’s monologues. Harry’s Home is a gently funny and emotional audio drama by Hannah Puddefoot touching upon the day to day reality of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Available for free from Audioteria and Heard+

This is the second delightful audio thing I've been involved with that's made an appearance in the Radio Times as a Pick of the Week in the last six months - and they couldn't be more different! Listen here: open.spotify.com/show/0qNtknm...

We've just hit £30K! That doesn't mean we're bathing in £50 notes. The production costs of Book 1 will be more than our original £20K target once everything is taken into account. Exceeding it helps as a financial curveball buffer. We can breathe a little easier, but there's still work to do!

Just four days left to back the all new Dan Dare Graphic Novel from Alex de Campi, Marc Laming from @b7comics.bsky.social www.kickstarter.com/projects/798... - variant covers by Chris Weston, J.H. Williams III available (hopefully we can reveal Jim’s before campaign end!)

An excellent distraction whilst plodding along to Shenfield on the Elizabeth Line because the main line trains were borked

OUT NOW - Harry's Home: Phil Davis stars in this @b7media.bsky.social gently funny and emotional audio drama touching upon the day-to-day reality of dementia. It began as a play staged by a local theatre group, so it's come a long way! Available from @bandcamp.com, audioteria.com and HEARD.

#Essex people and #radio people! @paulkerensa.bsky.social is at Chelmsford Theatre this week with his highly entertaining talk about the early days of BBC radio. I’ll be lurking in the audience, occasionally muttering about Phyllis Twigg. Book here: www.chelmsfordtheatre.co.uk/events/an-ev...

Just to let everyone know that we’ll be adding a couple of very special and exclusive Kickstarter “Dan Dare: First Contact” rewards this week. The first will be announced on Monday. We also hope to reveal @jhwilliams3.bsky.social Hardback cover art by the end of the week too.

Making women over 50 visible?

…And David (the writer’s) own post with the Kickstarter link. Still two weeks left to grab one of the Kickstarter exclusive hardback or paperbacks!

Our Dan Dare project has made it into The Guardian!

SPACE NUTELLA!!

Got one of those robot vacuum things. Called it Rocky in honour of Project Hail Mary's lovable alien. Left it to its own devices for 5 minutes and it tried to hoover the plughole. Feels appropriate.

Thank you. What a nice man.

You know how some words are just better than others? In the latest Listen Through the Brown Window, @jakeyapp.bsky.social and I go head to head in the Word Championships as Scoggins and Stonefrost. open.spotify.com/episode/27PL... And... there's Elvis.

Went to Riga. All that beautiful Art Nouveau architecture and I become fixated on the hotel’s HooverBot instead.

Who needs a BlairCut? See below. New Listen Through the Brown Window episode incoming!

Having attended the recording of one of these, I do agree with the article. It’s not telly, it’s not a podcast either, but something in-between…

The @b7comics.bsky.social Kickstarter campaign for the all-new Dan Dare: First Contact graphic novel has hit its fundraising target on Kickstarter – and the publisher has just announced J. H. Williams III as artist for the cover of the project’s hardcover edition: downthetubes.net/j-h-williams...

Very happy to see Listen Through The Brown Window in the Best Scripted nominations!

Dan Dare, with all the best and most loved aspects, minus any historical fustiness.
