Hello dear listener!
OH THE HORROR!
What a treat to speak to some of the most brilliant folks working in audio drama creation - I have had the utter utter pleasure of producing and directing a piece for WIRELESS THEATRE called THE BLOODY LIFE OF R. M RENFIELD by MARTY ROSS - who has written and adapted such brilliance as MOBY DICK, OLIVER TWIST, BLEAK HOUSE…AND MUCH MORE… And stars
*****HARRY MYERS
*****SARAH WHITEHOUSE
Who are both utterly fantastic - yes utterly is the over used word of this day - groovy huh
Joining us is one of the fantastic sound designers of the show and Broadcast Assistant FIONA THRAILLE who with the also superbly talented OLIVER MORRIS did a phenomenal job on the sound design and vibe and horror of this show. HRE THEM BOTH!
In this chat we explore
* Origins of the script with Marty
* Top acting tips from Harry and Sarah
* Foley fun with Fiona
* And so much more!
Please do hunt down this production here on the Wireless Theatre website and have a browse of the site too - so many super shows to enjoy! And do drop Harry, Sarah W, Fiona and Oli a line to share any thoughts once you have listened!
If you can spare a moment, please do rate and review that show and THIs one - it would help folks find it and, for INDIE AF it is always joyous to find this is a helpful pod in other folks' creation flow! I hope you are inspired to level up your own creating with some top tips from the coal face herein!

🎧 INDIE AF – AI in Audio Fiction: Friend, Foe or Fascinating Frontier?
S3E10 – Hosted by the ever-enthusiastic SARAH GOLDING
This episode dives deep into the ever-evolving world of Artificial Intelligence and how it's shaping (or shaking?) the world of audio drama creation.
Joining Sarah for this electric roundtable chat are a panel of brilliant audio fiction minds:
🎙️ LANCE DANN
🎙️ NICHOLAS GLEAN
🎙️ EDDIE LOUISE
🎙️ FLLOYD KENNEDY
Can AI be your creative buddy?
Is it a tool or a threat?
Should we fear the clone of our own voice?
What are the ethical lines when using AI?
Can AI do comedy? (…Can it really?)
Is using AI resourceful or cheap?
Can it assist neurodiverse creators?
Will AI take our jobs or just help with the boring bits?
Is it a passing fad, or a fundamental shift?
Spoiler alert: Things get philosophical, practical, and a little fired up. 💥
I’d LOVE to hear your take—whether you’re waving the AI flag, firmly in the nope camp, or just watching from the sidelines munching popcorn.
