Rudyard Ruins Everything: A Very Mini Series will drop 24 - 27 September
3w ago00:01:19Tap to summarizeRudyard Ruins Everything will be released in your podcast feed as a mini-series, recorded in studio. Just like the rest of the show. Last year, we performed our tenth year special at the London Podcast Festival to a sold out audience. Rudyard Ruins Everything was a new 90 minute story that took place between seasons two and three. If you made it to our birthday party in person or online, thank you. It was amazing. So amazing, in fact, that we want to share it with even more of you. We recut the script into a four episode mini-series, set over four days on Piffling. Then we booked a studio and recorded it all over a weekend in May. For once, we didn't need a fundraiser: your live show ticket sales helped us over the line and into the studio! Rudyard Ruins Everything: A Very Mini Series will be available to you, for free, wherever you get your podcasts. Thursday 24 September: Rudyard Ruins Everything - Day 1 Friday 25 September: Rudyard Ruins Everything - Day 2 Saturday 26 September: Rudyard Ruins Everything - Day 3 Sunday 27 September: Rudyard Ruins Everything - Day 4 Learn more about your ad choices.

Transcribe →Wooden Overcoats Presents: Conversations with Ghosts
Nov 1200:23:54Tap to summarizeOn this episode, we’re giving the feed over to a podcast we think you’ll really love - Conversations with Ghosts. It’s the newest audio drama from the creators of Archive 81, The Deep Vault, and Generation Crossing, and it’s all about loss, history, and the things we leave behind. Conversations with Ghosts follows mausoleum attendant Mal Fleming as he tries to convince the spirits of Grey Briar Cemetery to pass on. In each episode, Mal sits down with a new ghost to build a portrait of their life, their death, and their afterlife... all to help them release whatever still ties their soul to this reality. This episode, “Bridget Keegan,” involves Mal Fleming trying to help the ghost of a maid who’s been cleaning out the cemetery for over a century. Find Conversations with Ghosts wherever you get your podcasts. Listening link: https://pod.link/1843137773 Website: conversationswithghosts.com Learn more about your ad choices.
