Audio drama
Untrue Stories
A seasonal anthology drama in the same literary satire space as my stage plays. Currently streaming its first season, The Adventures of George Orwell and H. G. Wells, in which the two authors argue about tea, go time travelling and overthrow Western democracy.
Poetry
I have a knack for rhyming nonsense and have occasionally been published, in such prestigious organs as Xenofilkia, a filk music zine, and Poetanoster, an anthology of poems lamenting the decommissioning of an elevator at Leicester University.
