Skönlitteratur – Storbritannien – Nya podcasts

  • What makes you a heretic? Journalist Andrew Gold believes that, in an age of group-think and tribes, we need heretics - those who use unconventional wisdom to speak out against their own groups, from cancelled comedians and radical feminists to cult defectors and vigilantes hunting deviants.

    Learn from my guests how to rebel, think differently and resist social contagion. From Triggernometry's Francis Foster and the world's most cancelled man Graham Linehan to ex-Hasidic Jew Julia Haart and gender critical atheist Richard Dawkins. These are the people living with the weight of their own community's disappointment on their shoulders.

  • Mischief Managed...by Malfoy, of course ;) Welcome to Dramione Diaries! We are two best friends- both Slytherins, duh- who have bonded over their love of the best fandom pairing to ever exist. We love to discuss and dissect all the fics that prove over and over again why the brightest witch of her age could simply NEVER end up as a Weasley ~shudder~.

    Join us for Dramione chats, fic reviews, much Draco enthusiasm, and all around general hilarity. Because as we all know: the best things in life start with a swotty bookworm and a certain pointy-faced ferret that can't seem to leave her alone...

    We can't get enough of them!

  • Blog & podcast.So for my people always chilling in the corner of the function, don't Mind them and Turn Your Headphones all the way up! check out the Medium blog @TheKorner.

  • On The Hill tells stories about cemeteries and those buried there. We reassemble their lives and our human history, and we respond to them with original creative writing.

  • Every episode is a prayer, some prayers are answered, and a prayer granted can upend the world.

    Each episode, each prayer, is a single desperate moment of a life in another world. A world shaped by the divine. The voices we hear know an omnipotent being is listening. They know not all pleas are granted – but some are. And they believe in the benevolence of their god. Desperation and calculation, need and desire render each new character in vivid shades. And episode by episode, a miraculous yet tumultuous world is assembled in glimpses.

  • Showcasing the best sitcom pilots you've never heard of.
    We're not Hollywood producers and we don't have a £100 million pound budget. (We did, but we spent a lot of that on yachts and houseplants.) We are serious about being funny, though. Comedy Pilot Presents gives you the best in new writing and new actors, which we combine into a delicious funny goo served in a comedy crockpot. 
    Be warned - there are a few naughty words and references to hows-your-father, but on the whole, we're pretty nice and want you to have a laugh.

  • What was the dreadful thing that threatened the fortunes of the Kingdom of Haufzeignet? How did a dinner engagement cause Lord Trivett's world to fall apart? And what was the single, fateful phrase that destroyed young Mary's life forever?

    From the pen of writer James Lark comes a series of short stories about people who are almost certainly worse off than you are. Often bizarre, sometimes unsettling, occasionally downright upsetting, they can at least guarantee to provoke a response - and, in an increasingly mechanised world, you can take comfort from the fact that no AI could possibly come up with an audiobook like this.

    Have a laugh at somebody else's expense, or at the very least, reassure yourself that reality is not quite as bad as this...

  • Mad Ron, Uxbridges third Hardest man and gangster comedian, is locked up in HMP Nettlebed, getting one call a week, and his wife, Angela refuses to speak to him. 


    As a result, Mad Ron has chosen to use his one call to recruit members of the comedy circuit to his gang. Mad Ron reckons such a blatant approach would be frowned upon by the authorities, so he’s packaged it all up as a podcast.


    Where Did It All Go Ron? - The Mad Ron Podcast is that podcast.
