Tom and Saveloy get the good news. 🏆 Crowley Time: Winner, Big Ears Award for Funniest Podcast at the Golden Lobes 2026. Thanks, @cheerfulearful.bsky.social!

It’s a game packin’ day at Long Cat HQ! We have <300 copies left of the original first print of Mockery Manor: The Murder Mystery Game. Bag yourself a first edition of our independent, zero-AI, zero-plastic mystery game before it gets its first re-print later this year! Link in the thread. 👇

I wanted a standalone @zombiesrunofficial.bsky.social mission for parkrun today (I’m saving both of the new ones for a race tomorrow), and my attention alighted on the woozy, dreamy surrealness of ‘Petroleum Pilgrimage’ narrated by the excellent @betheyre.bsky.social an apt and timely meditation!

With less than seven weeks until we start releasing episodes we are excited to let you know about our last few guest actors in series 1! We are delighted to welcome @betheyre.bsky.social Beth Eyre to the guest cast.

Angry middle aged woman yells about shit that pisses her off at GDC, an article: www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

They said it would take 193 years to clean London’s air. We did it in nine. 💨 London has now met legal limits for nitrogen dioxide air pollution.

I was trying to figure out what show he was talking about and then realized it was Wooden Overcoats and I had already listened to the whole series. Whatever awards it has won were far fewer than how much it deserved, that was a legendary British sitcom right there

Some EXCELLENT news: musicians, writers and artists of all kind had been threatened with legalised theft. Labour (at last) ditches plan to let AI firms plunder copyrighted works. www.thetimes.com/article/1243...

Only work with that rogue K. Barnes & his dastardly property if you want innovation that feels accessible and timeless, characters both sharply specific and universal in their appeals, laughs a minute that still make you cry & warm your heart, and an audience that loves the above beyond desperation.

I didn’t know I had an arch-nemesis until I started playing Pokopia, but I’m certain this game was specifically created to ruin me. Here's a dive into how the new Pokemon game deploys the fundamentals of interactive storytelling to life-ruining effect. stupidideabox.substack.com/p/pokopia-st...

What if we made a sitcom that was British? We may never know what that would be like, but it's fun to think about.

If anybody would like to commission the TV version of an award-winning independent British sitcom that ran for 4 x seasons, well, I've got one. It's a podcast, you can listen to it right now for free. We still get fan mail and donations every day. Let's make more narrative comedy, please.

The last four animated feature Oscar winners have been quite diverse picks now that Disney/Pixar has lost its stranglehold on the category

I simply refuse to believe this isn’t a Chris Morris sketch:

Very excited to announce we have joined up with Fable & Folly, one of, if not the best networks for indie audio fiction! @fableandfolly.bsky.social #audiodrama #audiofiction

The White Vault is finished! Very proud to have been part of this story over the past few years. Huge congratulations to Kaitlin Statz @ventravis.bsky.social and the amazing team and cast. 🌒

Searching for any illustrators comfortable with designing the cover of a gothic horror novella. As much as I enjoy drawing my own covers, I would love to pay some commission money forward for an upcoming project! Please link portfolios and rates! Absolutely no AI.

The House of Lords Digital & Communications Committee just published their report on AI, copyright & the creative industries, and their conclusions could not be clearer. 🧵 1/5

I should say, in light of my previous post, how grateful I am for the hardcore fiction podcast / audio drama fans out there. There aren’t very many of you, which means all the more gratitude to go around. You get us creators through a lot of dark days.

La la la, and such! It’s a musical spectacular in the new instalment of my sketch comedy podcast Crowley Time with guest star composer and sound designer Odinn Orn Hilmarsson. Episode 42: The Food of Lurve, available NOW on your podcast app and at crowleytime.com! @odinnoh.bsky.social

The Outstanding Writing Emmy ended up going to some young up-and-comers named Pixar, but as you can see: I absolutely nailed my “happy to be nominated” face! Jentry Chau Vs The Underworld still bagged two Emmys though, because it’s FUCKING GREAT. So proud to have worked with this incredible team.

Three of my favourite films: The Innocents, published as The Turn Of The Screw, Collier’s Magazine, 1898 Went The Day Well, published as The Lieutenant Died Last, Collier’s Magazine, 1941 Invasion of the Body Snatchers, published Collier’s Magazine, 1954 Can we bring back Collier’s Magazine?

because I keep forgetting to mention it: LITERALLY ANYONE can nominate books for this prize! yes! that means you! you have until march 31st!

James Hamilton is off to the Emmys and I am so proud and in awe!
