I wonder if this ongoing gravity/mavity joke is in fact leading to a major revelation, like Bad Wolf did. Like it’s all a alternate dimension that was never supposed to exist, where gods and myths are real, type of thing #DoctorWho

I live in the kind of high street that flies flags, usually it’s the British flag (ever since the Tories decreed it be so) but they’ve been changed to British, German, French - and the EU flag. This morning. Right now. The EU flag? That’s practically insurrection these days. (I am fully in support)

I love Archie Panjabi. She is always fantastic. This is going to be so much fun! #DoctorWho

Contemplating the terrifying world of what we see in the mirror today…

work is going on behind the scenes at the station here, thank you for your patience! in the last 2 months i got a position as co-president of a theatre company AND my sister is getting married this month and asked me to make her dress 😅 if this episode isn’t done in time, there will be TWO IN JUNE

Oh yes, Karen Page is back! I mean, I like Matt and Frank just fine but it all really comes to life when Karen is on screen. When I heard this new series wasn’t going to include her, I wasn’t going to watch but thankfully - she is back

I bleeding knew it #DoctorWho

Been recording for a couple of hours. I don’t know why it leaves me feeling knocked out, more so than a 5k run, but I’m always exhausted afterwards

English heritage saw me coming! Enjoyed doing this trail. (No I have no children)

The Vesta Clinic episode 24: Chromatophore is out now, where you get your audio drama 🦎🛸

Ok, SO I’ve been running a feature I call Fiction Podcast Self Promo Saturday every week on Tumblr for a few months, where I invite fiction podcasters to share any news they’d like to promote. I hadn’t been doing it on here because I’d been worried about clogging up folks’ timelines too much.

One for the Patreon subscribers again - another short text story Jenny Greeneyes All folklore tales started out as true stories… www.patreon.com/posts/129105...

Very tired Little Mari

I can tell writing season 2 of The Rue Papers is going well by the way I’m sitting in front of the computer fingers typing furiously whilst my mouth is saying ‘no, Bea, don’t do that, why are you doing that?’

Oh, did I mention I dropped a second trailer? #TheRuePapers #HorrorPodcast #AudioDrama podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

Oh the professional, sparse, controlled way Matt Murdock takes down Bank Robber Red - the ways it’s filmed, like a machine at work, no stirring music, no dialogue, just the grunts of the bad guy against Murdocks silence - is a thing of beauty #DaredevilBornAgain

Matt Murdock having no idea who Ms Marvel is feels very on brand for him - he only knows the heroes who come close to crossing the line and getting lost in the dark (Although if he ever met her he would instantly love her, of course)

If you missed this episode (It wasn't on BBC Sounds) Please do consider listening to and sharing the episode about an unidentified man found dead in Biggleswade in 1997. The Locate International web page has a link to the show. Someone must know who he is: locate.international/appeals/bigg...

Whenever I log into a site and check "Remember me" I always imagine it's me saying this to the website as I lay dying in its arms on a battlefield. "Sing songs of my conquests!"

We do our podcast because we love horror. That's it. We have no agenda for world domination or even making money. So it's nice when people understand our genuine passion and say things like it is THE BEST HORROR PODCAST IN THE WORLD. The Best in the World has a nice ring! Would CM Punk sue, though?

I was just trying to type the words ‘rich bastard’ on another website and typed it slightly wrong and for some reason it autocorrected to Tory. I mean - not actually wrong…

Binging Eerie Essex episodes again today as I have the kind of work today where I don’t have to pay attention and I need something to listen to - so many good stories on this

There’s a song from Fame I love - Out Here On My Own. Finally got around to ordering the piano music which is when I find out the lyrics are by Lesley Gore. And she and her brother wrote the whole fame soundtrack and I had no idea….

Once again telling random people I don’t know that Agatha Christie wrote ghost stories and she wrote a banging one called The Dressmakers Doll which is one of my favourite short horror stories and I highly recommend it but it’s almost never in horror anthologies because it’s Agatha Christie…

Maybe I STARTED OUT made of sugar and spice and all things nice, but now I’m made of coffee, capsicum, obstreperousness and dark stories.

Watching Fisk slowly regret his choice to go legit and become mayor as he has to go around the city listening to badly sung versions of ‘we built this city on rock and roll’ is very funny

Mind you - I sleep with my window open and this extremely curious cat is wandering about the rooftops and peering in my window - I’m going to wake up one morning to find it on my bed, aren’t I?

I have been catching a glimpse of something out the window all day and could never quite see what - and now I’ve just seen it - a beautiful black cat! It must be new to the area and it’s exploring and it came up to my window to say hello! I feel this is a good omen.

Let it be sayde for the recorde that *Mrs. Dalloway* ys a brilliant booke. It doth shyne lyke the sun, cut lyke a razor, and staye yn the back of your mynde lyke the memorye of the smyle of an olde friende. Yf ye have not yet reade *Mrs. Dalloway,* give it a trye.

Had a slight moment of unreality in the gym when I glanced across to the mirror and thought I saw Vi from Arcane, only to realise it was me in my new gym top and new flaming red hair. I always wanted to be Jinx but as I can’t build small lethal robots being Vi is an absolute win.
