My Patreon podcast UNTITLED HORROR SCREENPLAY has a bumper new episode today. I'm looking into The Living Dream: films in which dream-world & real world have become inextricably entangled

There's a long discussion of Jacob's Ladder, then in the second half I pitch a new movie idea in the same genre

How to make an audio doc from soup to nuts - Radio Boot Camp Congratulations! Your pitch was greenlit by your favorite show! Your dream of making a longform narrative podcast or radio documentary is about to come

October 26th! I'm teaching another zoom class for @radiobootcamp.bsky.social. Walking through the whole process of making longform audio.

If you're interested in starting a career in podcasts, this is the place to learn a lot, quick. This class always sells out!

Hey! Our piece #souvenirs is being broadcast on BBC Radio 4 tomorrow, 22 July at 4pm UK time (also available on the internet for a while thereafter), I’d love for you to listen! Especially if you enjoy tales of hurt feelings & petty revenge.

New episode of Imaginary Advice out today! Another anthology episode: two stories and an essay. It was originally called SHIP OF THESEUS but I've rewritten this thing so many times who knows what to call it anymore 🀑

Predator is an almost-perfect film, failed only by the fact the predator never hunts by sampling/ replaying one of shane black's big pussy jokes

At the heart of what we do remains a belief in radio's imaginative possibilities - audio that can reconfigure the world around us & sink into our dreams.

Those Final Destination films always get under my skin & I think it's because I live in a small badly made house crammed with terribly made products & I 100% believe the deregulation/ enshittification of capitalism will eventually cross a threshold & turn my home into a rube goldberg murder machine

Final Reckoning, last scene:
Ethan Hunt has been crucified.

QUIET EVIL GUY: At last, we won. We killed movies and started world war three. Hang on-

He removes Ethan's mask. Underneath, the face is his own.

QUIET EVIL GUY: The fuq. Then who am I?

Cut to: the real ETHAN, watching the scene through binoculars on a motorike. 

ETHAN: (smiles) Temporary dialogue to be redubbed later.

Extract: THEY WILL / THEY WON'T
YouTube video by Imaginary Advice Extract: THEY WILL / THEY WON'T

Out now on the Imaginary Advice podcast: the first half of THEY WILL / THEY WON'T, an audio-fiction series I wrote in collaboration with @joedunthorne.bsky.social

Joe and I took turns writing chapters. Joe had to bring the two characters together. I had to break them apart

The Minecraft/Chicken Jockey thing is nothing new. In the UK in the 90s, we all went to see The English Patient & when Ralph Fiennes said "a thing is still a thing no matter what you place in front of it" we all jumped up & started beating the shit out of each other, braying like sex-mad donkeys

Thanks Rob! I don't have access to that side but I can help troubleshoot. So what currently happens when you log into Patreon (either browser or the app). Does it say if you're a patreon-supporter of IA? Or is it claiming you still don't support the show

112 Rule of Thirds Four new audio sketches from Ross Sutherland: a professional skateboarder reinvents God, a bystander sees something he shouldn't, a pizza order saves a life, a group of friends attend a photography cl

Is it a new podcast episode? Is it an experiment to determine the horrific effects of sleep deprivation upon the human brain?

Yes.

RULE OF THIRDS is out today: a collection of four short audio-fictions made by a man too tired to know how to end this sentence
