Thetford’s unrest did not appear from nowhere. A town shaped by poverty, isolation and a decade-long life-expectancy gap. And then - national headlines. Peter Thurlow reports.

A town that should be quiet has erupted and hit the national headlines – again. What’s behind it all?

Posted this before but I love it. Mel Brooks’s story about ghosting Cary Grant must have been told by Mel on every other talk show appearance he made, it was one of his standard “bits” but I especially like this version with Clive James. youtu.be/9QbATFlTaZs?...

If you’re a fan of The Lovecraft investigations I’m sure you’ll really enjoy Broken Veil. Very much a cousin to the sort of thing we do, with a very thoughtful and edgy sound design style.

Seriously, folks... if you enjoy quality audio drama, this is one you want to back. Catch up on the earlier seasons (which are marvelous) and throw your support towards this one. You'll be happy you did!

ALSO chaired the launch of Holly Fletcher's wonderful new book this week - so new work and new thinking all round.

I very happily stand corrected!! Please check out Lovecraft Investigations on BBC Sounds if you love audio horror, it's an excellent show with fantastic acting and sound design - I loved series 1 and am swiftly moving through series 2 hehe.

Jana Carpenter@maybeitwasutah.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Hi, sorry to butt in, but are you talking about the image on Sounds? If so, those predate genAI and while the bbc (not the show team) put the images together for the feed, they’re cobbled together from actual photographs. No genAI used in the LI at all. 👍
