Introducing: The Land Whale Murders
2024/01/31
Today we are bringing you another great show from the Fable & Folly Network - it's our pleasure to introduce The Land Whale Murders. The Land Whale Murders is set in an alternate 1899, where a pair of bumbling scientists turned private detectives, are hot on the trail of a sticky mystery involving a nefarious candy corporation among the political intrigue of New York City. That's quite a lot to take in in one sentence, so we suggest diving right in.  The Land Whale is a fast and funny podcast series for fans of Monty Python, Blackadder, pulp novels, silver age comic books, and much more. It's a hugely imaginative world. What we're about to play you is actually the first episode of S2, but S1 is out in its entirety, and you can find it, as you would expect, wherever you get podcasts. So here it is, for your delectation - The Land Whale Murders! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

2023/12/01
Season's greetings! And welcome to 'A Midwinter Night's Dream', a Mockery Christmas Special! This one-off drama occurs between seasons 2 and 3, in the winter of 1994.  We made A Midwinter Night's Dream back in 2022, and released it that Christmas for our Ko-Fi patrons, and as a one-off purchase for anyone else. This year we're excited to make it available for you all to enjoy for free.  We're following the same release format for the Christmas special we're making this year. The Matty Tapes will be out in the first week of December 2023, and like last year, our patrons will be able to access it for free, and for everyone else, we're asking for a donation of £3.99. Next year, we'll release The Matty Tapes for free, for everyone!  Why are we doing it this way? Well, in a nutshell, the proceeds from the sale of the Xmas Special helps us to keep making audio dramas! And we have a lot we want to do in 2024, including Magenta and Bernard's Paranormal Investigations and season four of Mockery Manor. In the meantime, sit back with a mug of spiced wine, warm your nutmegs by the fire, and enjoy A Midwinter Night's Dream. Read the transcript Support us on Ko-fi 3 Learn more about your ad choices.

Introducing: Dirt
2023/11/24
Hey listeners, Laurence here! We hope you enjoyed the Mockery S3 finale and we'll have more surprises for you very soon. In the meantime, we'd like to introduce another Fable and Folly show that we really love - Dirt: An Audio Drama. Dirt is set in modern day Washington state, and it follows Joseph Elo, a Seattle-based tech celebrity who one day receives a mysterious letter in the mail from his grandfather—who died 30 years ago.The letter contains vague clues about the need to find things that may be hidden in various locations.As Joseph becomes more interested, he struggles to maintain a balance between his newfound obsession and his work responsibilities, and ultimately has to decide what he wants to do with the rest of his life. This is a really interesting story - essentially an earthbound mystery, but with hints of the fantastical as well. To me it feels very literary: something about the first person narration, the slow delve into Joseph's past and all the family lore, the slight sense of the surreal mingling with some really fun comedy moments - it all feels like a novel that you can't put down. It's a long form, slow burn mystery, and the more time you put into it, the more hooked you'll get. And by the end of the first episode, you know you'll have to keep listening to find out where this bizarre treasure hunt is going to lead.  And speaking as a Brit, it really makes me want to go and visit the Pacific northwest.  Tap this link to subscribe to Dirt - An Audio Drama And now, sit back and go and a mad adventure into Dirt - An Audio Drama. This is chapter 1. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
