She Only Drank Pinot, A Noir (Part 2/2)

Mon, 05 Apr 2021 15:18:47 +0000

When a desperate dame wanders into Dick Richards' office, bulging about the purse and bemoaning a missing husband, it seems lady luck may have finally thrust a few crumpled euros his way. What follows, however, is a troubling investigation into the dankest corners of Grimsby that will force Dick to confront a past he'd long tried to erase (or simply forgotten... it's not really clear). Crime! Turkey Twizzlers! Lovingly rendered foley of a laminated menu being flipped repeatedly in indecision! All this and more in a light-hearted, full-cast noir romp! She Only Drank Pinot (A Noir) wouldn't exist without the voices of Joseph Albanese, Lydia Benson, Chloe Couper, Jozef Raczka, Tom Pullen, Rhiannon Morgan and art by the mystical August Charters.

CUBED

Fri, 23 Oct 2020 08:54:43 +0000

CUBED is a vaguely halloween-themed one-off inspired by true events, featuring indecent volumes of joss sticks and one very affordable exorcist! This recording is ushered forth from the void with the voices of Joe Albanese, Beth Brown, Chloe Couper, Tom Pullen and Rhiannon Morgan as well art conjured by the possibly-haunted Heather Charters.

What does it take to make a man - is it purpose, cosmic-chance or just a spot of patience and enough pork pies?

Deep Freeze

Wed, 14 Aug 2019 17:00:30 +0000

"A tear sloped across her cheek, clear and acidic as white cider, pausing mutely for a moment on the gentle curve of her chin before throwing itself groundwards with sorrowful intent. The wet driplet burst upon his exposed chest, rigid with defined musculature and the creeping shadow of rigor-mortis. Chad Bullet, she whispered into the softly falling snow, I loved you..." Icy terrors are creeping across the Ross Ice Shelf, and Chaps McChinsky's fridge freezer has gone missing. There may be an Antarctic wasteland to conquer, an insidious quest for a better kind of chicken to unfurl and one very weak-willed penguin to best... but Chaps' isn't the kind of man to leave a fridge behind. Deep Freeze is a new, feature length audio romp inspired by 80's machismo, 90's horror games and evergreen cheese!

At Great Expense

Mon, 24 Sep 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Fizzy pop is big business, especially for Cola-Corp Corpa-Colleagues like Buck. Living the carbonated 9-5pm (inc. 15 minute unpaid sustenance break) means the occasional trip off-world to visit a promising new supplier isn’t completely out of the ordinary – although they don’t always include kidnapping, a poorly communicated secondment and an expenses policy that’s a real pain in the neck. At Great Expense is a frothy romp starring Tom Pullen, Chloe Couper, Joe Albanese, Rhiannon Morgan and Joe Askew with Art by Heather Charters.
