Perform empathy. Please. Perform the fuck out of it. It's so good to act with kindness. I hope it penetrates to a place where you feel it, too, but if you must act some way, act the right way. I'm not here to judge your authenticity, I just want you to be kind, thoughtful, and mortified by meanness.

THATS A WRAP ON CAST FOR ARTICLE #2 Onwards into post production world before we release this chaos once more upon the world. This one was such a different beast and still so much fun at the table. We hope you enjoy it as much as Article #1. POV you’re a lovely pint and we’re admiring you - Laura

Recently we had a lovely chat with the BBC about audio drama as a story telling medium. We talked at length about the creative landscape, the joy of collaborative story telling and how wonderfully supportive the community is on a global scale. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Mervin made the news as he kept everyone safe from Goblins, Ghosts and Ghouls and such!!

Mervin found out about Derry Halloween. #thebadarticles #halloween #derryhalloween #comedy #fictionpodcast #improv

During this time of year, the veil between our world and the other side is thinnest. Look after each other, and stay vigilant out there, unless you wanna find yourself in The Bad Articles. Oíche Shamhna shona daoibh, from Assumpta and the rest of the Rathghoul chapter of the O.S.N.A. 🎃 👵

Been listening to @thebadarticles.bsky.social -- what a delight. Significantly more milk-focused than I had previously anticipated but I am not complaining, and you should listen to The Bad Milk Detectives (not the name of the show) too!!

How It's Made: Article #2

Sure, you've heard JR voice a whole range of characters in The Bad Articles - but if that simply wasn't enough... if your hunger for his dulcet tones is too great... ...then you'll be pleased to hear that he also voices Ruairí in The Seance of Blake Manor, which is available on Steam.

Can’t believe I shot and edited this whole video while driving. Thanks for listening to The Bad Articles. Love ya x

We've had an incredible 5 days since launching the first story folks. Thank you for all your help in getting the BAD word out there. We are so very close to hitting a little internal goal regarding downloads, so keep doing what you're doing! Listening and sharing it with your friends! Love ya x
