Available now - the story of Phyllis Twigg the first radio dramatist. A light comedy drama about giving credit where it’s due: even if it takes 100 years. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Happy Battle of Hastings day! 960 years since Harold got it in the eye. Or did he...? Something I've been working on: this episode of English Heritage's 1066 video podcast is an as-it-happened battle commentary by Prof Tom Licence & Roy Porter with host @amyfmatthews.bsky.social tinyurl.com/1066Ep3

Podcast merch! Listen Through the Brown Window side project Orphan Frequency tee shirts available now, in multiple colours but mainly brown.

Sick of hearing about 1066 and the Bayeux Tapestry? No you’re not, shut up. Because me & others have been working crazy hard on a new English Heritage video podcast series about that year, that battle, that tapestry and an incredible bromance gone wrong. Out now. open.spotify.com/episode/5rjM...

I don't think I directly mentioned this, but I will now because posting it makes it real. Weird, folky horror nostalgic comedy podcast 'Listen Through the Brown Window' is nominated for Best Comedy at the Independent Podcast Awards! The team are all very happy. That is all. See you there.

I've been on this and it was great fun! One of the few podcasts around about comics. Have a listen.

Vaun's been plagued by one health thing after another and yet he's still able to joke about it and make the rest of the Listen Through the Brown Window team laugh on a daily basis. Please help him out, so he can spend his time driving the bloody thing over my feet, or something.

LISTEN THROUGH THE BROWN WINDOW is shortlisted for Best Comedy Pocast in the Independent Comedy Awards which is quite delightful. Very happy to be a part of it. independentpodcastawards.com/IPA26/en/pag...

Delighted to see Listen Through The Brown Window has made another shortlist in the comedy category! @soullessparty.bsky.social

Bayeux 7!!

I mean, it COULD be…

Spent far too long faffing with scissors and glue putting together this diorama of Delia Derbyshire in the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. Stupidly pleased with my handiwork.

General response to yesterday’s alert

Great work from Georgy and a genuinely interesting bit of history. Why should Operation Mincemeat get all the glory?!

If you enjoyed this eclipse, you should pop the date of the next one in your colander.

The name’s Bush. Basil Bush.

THIS IS OUT NOW! ORDER THE CRAP OUT OF IT! BUY IT’S BRAINS RIGHT OFF!

How’s it doing on Rattan Tomatoes?

Sorry, forgot to mention Listen Through the Brown Window made it onto the #BritishPodcastAwards Best Comedy longlist. Say nice things now, because given the competition, we aren’t likely to make the shortlist next week!

New episode coming soon…

One sibling is in the same industry as I started in, so I’d be fine. The other is a computer physics professor, so I’m not going near that one!

If you weren't aware, Harry's Home starring Phil Davis is available to listen to for free on YouTube. It's an authentic, gently funny and emotional play touching upon the day-to-day realism of living with a Alzheimer's sufferer. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAf1...

STOP SAYING “PICKY BITS” YOU TWEE IDIOTS

Moved into my garden office for the night last night as it has aircon. Best night’s sleep in weeks. Had to crawl everywhere as it’s basically a pod hotel. Stop zooming in on my shelves, there’s nothing of interest you weirdos #noduvetknowitsaheatwave

Had a lovely chat with Martin about Harry’s Home and its journey, which began in 2013…

Britain hasn’t been this united since the Boaty McBoatface incident.

An accidental comedy masterclass on structuring a joke. Sound very much on.

Very chuffed to see our scrappy little weird podcast #ListenThrougTheBrownWindow has made the longlist in the comedy category! (Although @podcastingtoday.co.uk managed to leave us off in their press release... *slaps wrists*)

I dared to write and perform in this Listen Through the Brown Window comedy sketch this month - Tom Cruise KEEPS GETTING IN MY HOUSE open.spotify.com/podcast-chap...

Happy Canada 🇨🇦 Day!

Rather incongruously read this on holiday by a hotel swimming pool last week. Loved it, although I am struggling to look at drill bits at the moment. @davidmbarnett.bsky.social

First they let me play in their sandpit, then they gave me the controls to the MACHINE. This month’s episode of #ListenThroughtheBrownWindow is curated and edited by ME!! Mwah haha haha!!! @soullessparty.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/0rGI...

Something to amuse the punctuation fans. Is this “Alexander the Great - Beach Hotel” or “Alexander: The Great Beach Hotel” or “Alexander the Great Beach: Hotel” or….

I am in Cyprus. I have never before been happier to go on holiday where the daily average temperature is still warm and sunny, but 7C less than today’s high in London.

In the chat for one of the local theatre groups. Would love to see a liberated, free love, hippie version.

Alasdair Beckett-King @misterabk.bsky.social stars as ‘Uncle Paddock’ in the latest episode of CLOPPER! Also starring @bobfischer.bsky.social as the ever quipping back end - Mr McQueeny! Listen now! 🎧 (Wherever you find your podcasts!)

Ooooh no! What happens now? I know, maybe set up a guided tour of all the locations featured. Or not-locations. Or implied locations.

Advert: "Say hello to.." Me: "No."

The latest (and award winning!) Listen Through the Brown Window is out now with another edition of Clopper, this time featuring @misterabk.bsky.social It’s very silly, it’s spooky, it’s hauntological and definitely weirder than Rentaghost ever was. open.spotify.com/episode/1E1g...

I endorse this message.

Just driven myself mad trying to remember which film used an instrumental of Peter Gabriel’s Big Time, because Gary Davies just played it on Radio 2. Spaceballs. The answer is Spaceballs.
