Hello! I'm Maddy Searle, the host of A Game of One's Own. I'm here today to let you know that I have been working as a sound designer on a magical new folkloric workplace comedy podcast called G.O.B.L.I.N.S, created by the team behind the award-winning sc-fi comedy Stellar Firma. In GOBLINS, we are introduced to Elizabeth, an employee of the Worthing County Council Planning Department. After a strange encounter at the Cissbury Ring Bypass, she is plunged into the world of elves, fae and goblins beyond the veil. She must hide her identity or face a horrific death at the hands of the fairy court. Meanwhile, she has to assist her new goblin colleagues Hooper and Tripe, and the elven princeling Elisar Crowshackle, deal with all sorts of magical mayhem. At time of recording, there are seven episodes available to listen to wherever you get your podcasts, with two more coming soon. You can find a link to the podcast here: https://pod.link/1756395945  Thank you for listening, and I hope you enjoy G.O.B.L.I.N.S!
