London Podcast Festival - recording & post-match report!

Hope you’re all keeping well, folks!

If we seem more exhausted and incoherent than usual right now, it’s because last Sunday we were lucky enough to attend London Podcast Festival at King’s Place, accompanied by the amazing Méabh, who plays Carpenter - and who kindly flew across from Ireland to join us for the day.

It was a really lovely occasion, and for two very special reasons: our first ever live-event for one of our shows, and our first real opportunity to actually get...

Drowning In Silt: The Night Routine

Content warning: This episode contains very strong body horror elements from the very beginning.


Transcript:

One day, my mother peeled her face off.

At first I thought she meant to remove the cosmetic face mask she had applied, as she did every night religiously. 

But her nails went past the gooey white sludge and neatly punctured her skin. Those well-kept, well-buffed, polished and shiny indications of her stature snicked down, throug...
