25 min Episode 1 of 6
One day, every apocalypse happened at once.
Follow three survivors and their dog as they try to understand what happened to the world, and build a home from the ashes.
Camlann is a post-apocalyptic fantasy series about the necessity of hope for survival. Dai, Morgan, Perry and their noble wolfhound Gelert venture out into the Welsh countryside to escape the devastation that hordes of folkloric monsters have wrought among the cities.
Not to mention the "Knights of the Round Table", a former university rugby team turned maniacal feudal lordship on the hunt for their Sir Peredur, and the witch Morgan Le Fay.
This haphazard group just want a safe haven, the means to survive, and a fire they can gather around at night and tell stories.

Folxlore - Stuck

13 min Episode 1 of 9
Folxlore tells the stories of queer people living literally and figuratively between two worlds. In one sense, we try to live normal lives while the world tells us we are not normal. In another sense, our normal lives are interrupted by a very not-normal rift opening up between our world and another plane of existence filled with nightmarish horrors. This pilot series deals with themes of first romance, hate crime related trauma, and queer parenthood Folxlore is rooted in everyday Glasgow, where monsters are always on the edge of your periphery.

30 min
2000 Plus (aka Two Thousand Plus and 2000+) was an American old-time radio series that ran on the Mutual Broadcasting System from 1950 to 1952, in various 30-minute time slots. A Dryer Weenolsen production, it was the first adult science fiction series on radio using all new material.
The radio equivelant to a black and white saturday matine movie; dated, kitsch and a journey into another era.

13 min
In a world where cities are playgrounds and playgrounds are arenas. Where arenas are battlegrounds, and battlegrounds are sectioned into streets and streets are bisected by school crosswalks and school crosswalks are the frontline in an ancient battle where crossing guards are the warriors that stand between the everyday, holding up a stop sign to the end of days... and the end of days is going way over 15 MPH/30 KPH in a school crossing zone.
When Mike Limbo gets hired as a Crossing Guard, he’s slowly dragged into an underground world he never knew existed…
You’ll never look at crossing guards (lollipop people in the UK) in the same way again.

The jagged surfaces and iridescent veneers of electronic artist Aho Ssan’s labyrinthine debut become the material and psychological furnishings of a sonic dystopia in this chilling allegorical fable. Like all Class 8 citizens, Désiré has spent his entire life confined to cramped living quarters, with no access to the outside world. When his parents suddenly vanish from the apartment, he is forced to confront his own role in their disappearance, and begins to question everything he thought he knew about his situation.
From the award winning Soundworlds - an audio stage for diverse stories told in extraordinary ways. It’s a place for an exciting new form of audio drama that we call sonic theatre.

In care since the death of her mother, timid 17-year old Shiona sets out to fulfil her childhood dream: to see Dartmoor’s wild ponies.
