Delighted that @AdrianEdmondson drama Waiting for Waiting For Godot has been shortlisted for the Radio Times Drama award. It's a Public vote... so you know what that means! You can listen to it and vote here: radiotimes.com/audio/radio/ra…

@roberthudson @RealDMitchell @TamsinGreig @RosieisaHolt @clarefossie How exciting. Have just come across this. Warhorses of Letters still one of my faves!

James Pond is live! Search for Listen and Often on all podcast platforms. Starring @RealDMitchell @tamsingreig [fan account] @RosieisaHolt @clarefossie

For #slowhorses and Will Smith fans. Gloriously meta. But why not. From last ep (I think) of last series.

Places still available.

I’m running this introduction to Audio Drama again for Faber Academy and although technically for writers I know producers/directors who want to think about how to tell stories in audio will find it/have found it inspiring. faberacademy.com/product/start-….

Talking to @nicolaupsonbook @maureen_paton @W4book about real people in fiction. And this is what's so absorbing about their books: real events & places. How do you bring all that alive and still tell an amazing crime story? #josephinetey #cslewis bit.ly/47vWqHm

Looking forward to talking to @CSRaphael1 and @maureen_paton about real people in fiction @W4BookFest on Saturday - tickets available here! ticketsource.co.uk/chiswickbookfe…

Talking to Mary Chamberlain @W4BookFest Sep 14th. She wrote the VERY FIRST Virago book, Fenwomen, and ended up in a row with the News of the World. Not what I was expecting when first started researching it! Happy 50th @ViragoBooks. bit.ly/4gdUDsL

Directed reading of remarkable book, Crooked Cross by Sally Carson rediscovered by @PersephoneBooks Written & set in the early 1930s it foreshadows all the horrors of what was to come during the 2WW. Some of which still stalk our own century. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

Delighted to have been asked back by the lovely people at @FaberAcademy to run another one day Start to Write Audio Drama course. Thank you to all who came to first one - some great stimulating conversation about audio drama and writing. Details here: faberacademy.com/product/start-…

Is the @thetimes Saturday bestseller book list really anything more than a celebration of the success of @Waterstones marketing campaigns? Curious as to why they not using a more independent list?

As we mark the 80th anniversary of bombing of Hiroshima, this is still available on @BBCSounds. Presented by @curranradio to mark the then 70th anniversary of John Hersey's groundbreaking and revelatory @NewYorker article about the impact of the bomb. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/b0…

@_57dB @JaneCaseyAuthor Slowly working my way through the series in audio. So well read and stories so gripping with this fascinating central relationship that I find extra excuses to plug myself in - like sudden need to clean the fridge!

@JaneCaseyAuthor Thank you

This is a mere 99p but for today only. Don’t even think about it; just get it. You don’t even have to have read the rest of the series, I promise. A locked room mystery and a personal dilemma for Maeve and Josh being 100% Josh. Tell a friend! amazon.co.uk/Secret-Room-th…

Still time to book one of the places still available on my one day start writing audio drama course. #audio #drama #podcasting #radio #writing @FaberAcademy faberacademy.com/product/start-…

At Glastonbury yesterday, a band called for “inshallah, from the river to the sea.” The crowd cheered. When I hear that phrase chanted with joy, I feel fear and - whoever you are - so should you. Most people don’t understand what it means. But it’s been used for decades by those who want to erase Jews from where their language, faith & indigenous culture began. A place that was meant to offer refuge when the rest of the world shut its door. I’ve spoken out against injustice & unbearable loss. I’ve made work about the ‘Nakba’ & the ongoing trauma of Palestinians. But “from the river to the sea” doesn’t call for peace. It calls for a world without Jews. You can stand for Palestinian rights without denying Jewish ones. You can oppose a government without wishing away a people. If your activism leaves no room for someone else’s safety, grief or history it’s not activism. It’s hate.

Running this for @FaberAcademy in July. If you are interested in writing #Audio #drama do have a look. Will be lots of listening and writing and talking about the amazing ways you can tell stories in sound. faberacademy.com/product/start-…

#job #audio Interesting audio job going at @PierProdLtd as Company Administrator. Job spec etc available if you email info@pierproductionsltd.co.uk. WFH but also do need to be able to get to Brighton regularly. Closing date 16th May. pierproductionsltd.co.uk

@caspari @BBCr4today Was hideous interview.

Does feel a little toxic to me to be berating the Chief Exec of Heathrow right now and tempting him to resign. @BBCr4today blame culture taking over again. What did they expect a live on air resignation in the middle of a crisis? I’d rather he got things going again.
