• Introducing: Alpha8

  This week, while I wrap up the final episodes of "Baked Off!", I'm excited to share another delicious audio drama from the award winning writer, Stephanie Elie. Alpha8 is a sci-fi adventure fiction that imagines what might happen when a desperate alien swaps places with a regular working mother and has to deal with three stroppy teenagers, while dad is kept incommunicado at his terribly important job. The production of "Alpha 8" is a meticulously crafted audio experience that blends rich storytelling with sophisticated sound design to transport listeners into its vivid sci-fi universe. The series is produced using high-quality audio equipment to capture the nuanced performances of a diverse and talented cast, ensuring every emotional beat and suspenseful moment is conveyed with clarity and impact.

• Too Hot to Handle

  Episode 6 finds Helen at her favourite cafe, chatting with Ilse about playing card games on her iPad. But before we go there, I thought you might like to know why we call ourselves Thunder’s Mouth Theatre. Back in the day, I played Queen Eleanor in a production of Shakespeare’s play “The Life and Death of King John”. It was produced by John Warner’s production company in Brisbane, and performed at the then abandoned Boggo Road Jail. Our lovely mate Allana Noyes played Constance, Eleanor’s daughter-in-law, and Constance has the most wonderful line that Shakespeare ever wrote: “Oh, that my tongue were in the Thunder’s mouth / then with a passion would I shake the world!” That is how I feel about live theatre, so that is what I named my own company. And now, I use it to do a teeny tiny bit of shaking of the world, in my own small way, with the help of some very good mates. In this episode, John Warner introduces the character of William Askew, OAM. Please Support the Show. You can either leave a one off tip of $1 or £1 (or more) or take out a monthly subscription.
