This month we're talking to an author and publisher/manager about audiobooks and how they approach to audiobooks. We cover how they chose narrators for their books, and how audiobooks affect the writing and management of their business.  We also have the long awaited re-introduction of ‘News From Equity' with Annette Rizzo.   C.K. (Caimh) McDonnell is the paranormal pen name of Irish bestselling author Caimh McDonnell. He is a former stand-up comedian and TV writer who now spends all his time writing books as his dogs don't like it when he leaves the house.  When not writing about the adventures of the staff at The Stranger Times, he is the author of the increasingly inaccurately titled ‘Dublin Trilogy' series (eight books and counting) and its various spinoffs, all of which have been Amazon bestsellers on both sides of the Atlantic. The Dublin Trilogy has been optioned for TV by Avalon (Breeders, Taskmaster) with Chris Addison at the helm. The Stranger Times has been optioned by Playground (Wolf Hall, The Undeclared War) who are working on the series with Peacock. The Stranger Times won Best Audio at the 2023 British Fantasy Awards, a fact Caimh constantly endeavours to drop into casual conversation. He lives in Manchester, where The Stranger Times series is set.   Elaine Ofori After over two decades of collecting seemingly random skills across publishing and marketing/communications, Elaine is finally putting them to good use at her publishing company McFori Ink as Head of Stuff/Chief Wrangler, where she spends her days mulling over words. She's taken this love of words one step further and has turned them into fully constructed sentences that are slightly more creative than the reports and strategies she's spent most of her career writing. Her debut novel, co-written with her husband, author C.K. McDonnell, will be published in Germany in 2025.    News From Equity links - Equity Game On campaign details - ⁠https://www.equity.org.uk/news/2024/equity-solidarity-rally-with-sag-aftra-at-uk-games-industry-agm⁠   The story about Dan Dewhirst, which includes links to the AI Toolkit and info on the Stop AI Stealing the Show campaign, is here - ⁠https://www.equity.org.uk/news/2024/actor-s-experience-of-ai-gone-wrong⁠   The radio commercials campaign and survey email is titled ‘ Radio Commercials - help shape Equity's work' and will have come from ⁠ssailing@equity.org.uk⁠    Cambridge VO Social facebook page is ⁠here⁠.

Chris Addison has built his career on laughter, as a stand-up comedian, a panellist on shows such as Mock the Week, and as an actor and director. You perhaps saw him as Ollie, the hapless junior Whitehall adviser in The Thick of It, the political satire created by Armando Iannucci. He's worked as a director on another highly-acclaimed comedy in the corridors of power: the Emmy Award-winning Veep, set in and around the White House. He has also co-created and directed Breeders, a brutally honest sitcom about parenthood, starring Martin Freeman. Chris has also performed in opera on the stage at Covent Garden – though in a speaking role. He is an opera fan, so his musical choices include Mozart and Rossini but also folk music by Eliza Carthy and a Swedish Christmas song.

Flight Through Entirety: A Doctor Who Podcast

It's happened again: it's the end of the season, and all our long-dead relatives have come back as Cybermen. Only this time, instead of hanging around the kitchen reeking of tobacco, they're wandering through graveyards and — well, that's it really, wandering through graveyards. Fortunately, Missy is here to liven things up a bit. It's Death in Heaven. Notes and links Nathan alludes to discovering during the week of recording some of the terrible consequences of Australia's presence in Afghanistan. This is upsetting reading, so content warnings apply. We mention Doctor Who and the Silurians as a previous story where the Doctor comes into conflict with soldiers, and we refer to El Sandifer's take on the end of that story, a scene which presents this conflict explicitly but which is never followed up in any satisfactory way. Richard brings up Chris Addison's Radio 4 comedy series Civilisation, which co-stars the original Ford Prefect, Geoffrey McGivern. And, finally, the Doctor plummeting to his death from a plane inevitably reminds us of Roger Moore in a similar situation as James Bond in Moonraker (1979). Follow us Nathan is on Twitter as @nathanbottomley, Brendan is @brandybongos, Richard is @RichardLStone, and Todd is @ToddBeilby. The Flight Through Entirety theme was arranged by Cameron Lam.

We'll be back with a new flashcast on the second Russell T Davies era in November. Our James Bond commentary podcast is called Bondfinger, and you can find that at bondfinger.com, at @bondfingercast on Twitter, on Apple Podcasts, and everywhere else as well. We can also be heard on the Blakes 7 podcast Maximum Power, which has completed its coverage of the first half of the show's entire run. Recording of our coverage of Series C is nearing its conclusion: it will be ready for you later in the year. There's also our Star Trek commentary podcast, Untitled Star Trek Project, featuring Nathan and friend-of-the-podcast Joe Ford. In our most recent episode, we watch an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation called Genesis, in which the crew devolve into various types of monsters and animals, upsetting fans who have the (baffling) expectation that their franchise will take itself more seriously.

Flight Through Entirety: A Doctor Who Podcast

This week, Danny's death is somehow made up for by the culmination of a season-long arc which finally brings Michelle Gomez properly into the limelight. It's Dark Water. Notes and links This week's evil corporation is 3W, which gets it's name from the three words Don't cremate me. But, as Brendan points out, it's also the production code for Invasion of the Dinosaurs. We explain about production codes in unnecessary detail in the shownotes for Episode 237. The Black Orchid problem is that a two-part story has its climax at the halfway point instead of somewhere more appropriate. It's identified by El Sandifer in her essay on that story. Well, we found the clip for the shownotes: Brendan mentions Chris Addison's appearance on an episode of Have I Got News for You? hosted by Tom Baker. The whole episode is worth a watch, but the incident that Brendan refers to starts here. Once again, we allude to the Troops to Teachers programme, which gave veterans the chance to fast-track their teacher training so that they could work in schools. The Guardian reports on the scheme here. Fans of Missy's (other) gay sidekick Dr Chang can see much more of Andrew Leung in Lilting (2014), where his lover is played by Ben Whishaw.

In the mid 2010s, there existed an uneasy peace between Britain's Twitter-using centre-left and elements of the hard left and centre right. One of the era's quintessential venues for comrades of different political affiliations, but perhaps similar social and professional milieus, to find common ground was RUTH AND MARTIN'S (RAM) ALBUM CLUB, a tumblr blog in which a hand-picked selection of individuals drawn primarily from the worlds of light entertainment and political journalism would take it in turns to review an album they'd never heard before. In this exclusive RP investigation, RP crew affiliate and producer of smoking beats tom disso (@nailheadparty) joins Jack and Geraint to peek inside this capsule of a whole other time. We choose to focus on four reviews in particular, each of which are in their own way quintessentially RAM: Tim Farron on NWA's STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON, Matt Forde on David Bowie's HUNKY DORY, David Aaronovitch on the Wu-Tang Clan's ENTER THE WU-TANG: 36 CHAMBERS and, finally, Tom Watson on Bob Dylan's SLOW TRAIN COMING.

BLANK with Jim Daly & Giles Paley-Phillips

Chris Addison is a comedian, actor, writer and director. Starting in Stand-up Chris made his name touring the UK and playing high profile slots at Edinburgh Festival before moving into acting with his role in the multiple award-winning The Thick of It. Further acting roles and regular appearances on panel shows like Mock the Week have propelled Chris to being one of the UK's most loved performers. He has recently taken up directing with his feature debut The Hustle starring Rebel Wilson and Anne Hathaway.With the ongoing difficulties due to the outbreak of coronavirus, we have had to adapt to how we do things a little. It has always been our intention with Blank to sit down in the real world with our guests, we feel that physical connection is truly key in making sure we have the most authentic, natural and relaxed conversations, however with social distancing now being imposed we had to decide whether to have a break from podding for a while or to try some different approaches, so we've gone with the latter, because most of all, we want to continue to bring you the show, and we hope that it might give all of our wonderful listeners a little respite from the very challenging situation we currently find all ourselves in. The Pod MUST go onSo Jim and Giles sat down in our respective homes, in Amersham and Seaford, to record with the brilliant Chris Addison in London. We'd arranged to pod with Chris some time ago, but his work schedule had intervened, but with work going into shutdown, Chris messaged to say let's do a podcast.We started off by chatting about messy workspaces and how this might be a good time to address it, or not as the case may be.Chris talked about those difficult years directly after university and how people can often feel adrift and not know where their path will lead, for Chris it was dreams of theatre directing, but soon became a career in stand-up comedy.We talked to Chris about his move into directing and how much of it is down to the inspiration and mentorship of people like Armando Innaucci who took a chance on Chris whilst making The Thick of It.

Movies and conferences are being cancelled left and right, including the new bond. Also, Katy Perry announces her pregnancy via.. a music video?! THE FLICK: Onward - Disney and Pixar are back with their next most likely award-nominated feature, pairing the very likeable duo of Tom Holland and Chris Pratt in the lead roles. Set in a world where fantasy elements like orcs, gnomes, unicorns and other mythical creatures exist in a modern world, this story follows two brothers who find a mysterious magical staff that belonged to their late father. After a spell cast through the staff resurrects the bottom half of Dad, they must embark on an adventure to find the real magic still remaining on the world to bring their family back together. The trailer is really funny for this and I'm really hoping for some great world-building as Pixar needs a new franchise to put t's hat on. I have good feelings about this movie. THE BINGE:Breeders: Season 1 (FX) - One of my favorite British comedic actors, Martin Freeman, once known as the original "Jim from The Office" Tim, gets his own American network show to hopefully raise his awareness internationally better than the unmediated on Hobbit trilogy. Freeman pairs with actress Daisy Haggard as the parents of two kids who try to keep their sanity ad love life intact against the constant barrage of their children. This darkly comedic series is almost like holding a mirror up to any parent's plight and is infinitely relatable immediately. Created by Freeman, Veep's Simon Blackwell and The Lab Rats' Chris Addison, I really hope this show connects with the audience as I'm really liking it so far and want additional seasons.

Taylor Herring is one of a group of independent firms in London who seem to be pushing the boundaries of public relations - to a more integrated place, but it is doing that by unashamedly taking advantage of its understanding of what is required to make a story fly in earned media.

On May 11th 2018 the Nobel Prize winning physicist Richard Feynman would've turned 100 years old. But Richard Feynman was so much more than just one of the greatest physicists, the greatest scientists, of the 20th century. He was a beautiful writer, a man of boundless curiosity, a bongo player, a clown. Fellow physicist Freeman Dyson once said that Feynman was "Half genius, half buffoon". He would later revise those words, replacing them with "All genius, all buffoon." So we at The Cosmic Shambles Network have put together an audio documentary featuring interviews with fellow physicists and Feynman admirers to mark this occasion. Presented by Robin Ince and featuring interviews with Professor Brian Cox, Dr Helen Czerski, Professor Jon Butterworth, Dr Leonard Mlodinow, Dr Marcus Chown, Chris Addison, Christopher Sykes and more. And featuring music from Grace Petrie, Rachel Fisher, Patrick Cootes and The FGs. The trailer was released on Feynman's 100th birthday. The full documentary will be released very soon.

James Acaster is "one of the sharpest comic minds to have emerged in recent years" (Guardian). In addition to his success in live stand-up James has also appeared on many Television and Radio Shows across the country. In August 2010 James performed as part of BBC's 'Stand Up in the Street' during the Edinburgh festival. He also graced his comedy brilliance on Australian TV show 'Australia Versus' and was one of the Co Hosts of 'My First Gig' on Resonance FM. James has appeared on Russell Howard's Good News (BBC Three), Dave’s One Night Stand (Dave), Chris Addison’s Show and Tell (E4), Live at The Comedy Store (Paramount), Three @ The Fringe (BBC Three), Russell Kane’s Whistle-stop Tour (BBC Radio 4) and the Edinburgh Fest Comedy Gala for BBC Three. This year James returns with his low-key whimsical routines and trivial stories for his new show ‘Lawnmower’. The show will see James attempting to clear Yoko Ono's name, tackle the hardest questionnaire question of all time and figure out how happy he is with his smile! ‘Lawnmower’ follows on from acclaimed success in both 2011 & 2012, the latter of which 'Prompt' garnered him a coveted Fosters Edinburgh Comedy Award nomination for Best Show as well as four and five star reviews across the board. Most recently James has recorded his own pilot for BBC Radio 4, ‘James Acaster’s Findings’ in which he presents the results of his in-depth research into the subject of bread, assisted by his trusty sidekick Nathaniel Metcalfe. He is also a weekly fixture on Josh Widdicombe’s XFM radio show. “Deliciously daft and no slouch in the surprises department” EVENING STANDARD **** “One of the best pieces of straight stand-up at this year’s festival.” TIME OUT **** “…Debunks lad attitude (the antithesis of this charity shop chic jester) in a style reminiscent of Stewart Lee /Richard Herring, but suffused with enough of his own personality to sound crisp and fresh.” INDEPENDENT **** “Welcome to one of the funniest shows on the Fringe this year.” LONDON IS FUNNY **** “It's a mixed style of story-telling and philosophising that hasn't been perfected so well since possibly Daniel Kitson.” SCOTSMAN ***** - Sara Shulman is the Founder and Editor of Comedy Blogedy, TEDxUCL speaker on 'The Power of Funny', former Head of Comedy at UCLU Rare FM and produces the Humour Me Comedy Podcast.

Why must we all be grateful for the slaughter of World Wars? How do you make a merkin? Is cupboard cheese more dangerous than cocaine? You'll also find out a novel way to use a pencil.
