The Waiting Game

Posted on by wotif

The Waiting Game is another of FastFiction’s CoProPods. What’s that? Well, it is a co-operative production with contributions from the Hand to Mouth theatre team in the U.K. They are a live-action theatre company featuring many stories similar to our own. David Pollard and Susan Hill provide us with a wonderful pastiche of a marriage that isn’t too healthy. And I don’t just mean the ‘man-flu’.

We last met up with David in his wonderful monologue, Reality Check. (He does seem to play the hen-pecked husband rather well).

And once again, may I remind you that all our productions are provided voluntarily, so a review on your podcast platform goes a long way by way of payment, Thankyou.

Performed by: David Pollard, Breanda Cross

The Valentine Day Massager

Posted on by wotif
A Fast Fiction Podcast

The Valentine Day Massager is a new Wannarbee Bond Adventure. You’ve met up with Wannarbee before, with Two Dykes on a Bike, but now we have Julie Hoverson bring her to life in an entirely new persona. A night out on the town starts off well, but as usual, she gets into trouble – then ends up… well, if you’ve met up with Wannarbee before you’ll guess how things work out.

You’ll be able to catch up with Julie, in her own spot, on her website, 19 Nocturne Boulevard. But we hope she comes back to visit with us again, especially if she brings Wannarbee with her.

1942 – Happy Birth-Day

Posted on by wotif

1942 – Happy Birth-Day is in recognition of the 75th anniversary of World War 2. It is also a tribute to my mother, who gave birth deep down in Paddington Tube Station, during a bomb attack. Thanks Mum, it was worth it.

During the next few months, there will be a progression of stories from My Life and Death Diary, beginning of course with 1942. So, if you are interested in a little bit of personal history, not taken too seriously, look out for the cover. And you can always come to this website for a few graphics, to help you understand those days of long ago.

Singing with Jamie Joe

Posted on by wotif

Singing with Jamie Joe is a little unusual. Is it a dramatized reading, a play, or even a mini-musical? While it may be one or none of those things, it most certainly is a tragedy.
