Christmas Specials

Imagine a microphone swinging unseen above a crowded platform, picking up passing thoughts and random memories, tuning into lost moments and conversations. This beautifully-realised audio adaptation of Will Eaves' Goldsmith's Prize-shortlisted book, The Absent Therapist, will take you on a uniquely strange and delightful journey of unexpected encounters. It's an earphones-in, eyes-shut, ready-for-anything experience. Read by Will Eaves with music composed and performed by the author.

Apex

"If this is the last time, make it count."

A lone driver walks the track early one morning before a major race. Written off and dogged by bad luck, he knows that what lies ahead has to be the defining moment of his career - one way or another. 
Lose yourself in the explosive noise and adrenaline of this high-octane drama, full of the chaos and intensity of a Formula 1 event. Both a narrative and a sensory experience, Apex will take you on the listening ride of your life.

Apex is written by Alex Dawes and read by Mark Lingwood.
Sound production by Mark Lingwood.
