To coincide with the Paris Climate Summit, Near FM have produced a three part radio drama series dealing with the topic of climate change. Introducing listeners to the topic in an entertaining and informative manner.

This first play ‘The Zombie Way‘ examines how successive international climate conferences fall prey to procrastination and indecision on these important environmental issues.

I made a little audio drama for both Halloween and World Audio Drama day which was on October 30th (It marks the anniversary of Orson Welles’s War of the Worlds broadcast). It also counts as a spin off of my Arcade and Retro Podcast with me playing myself as I try and find out information about a mysterious arcade cabinet. The Polybius game in question is actually quite a fun urban legend.

Helping me out on acting duties were Declan Cahill, Nina Knezevic and Frank O’Connor.
