BIN JUICE is a fresh take on the traditional British sitcom, but make it ‘Millennial’ and for your ears... In the first of its kind ‘scripted audio comedy/drama podcast mash-up... we follow the lives of four unlikely friends from different walks of life across the UK, attempting to navigate early adulthood together.
BJ: A middle class ‘mess’ navigating the dating scene for the first time and slowly realising that a degree in ‘fine art’ probably isn’t going to get her all that far in the real world.
GABRIEL: First generation immigrant originally from India, working as a nurse for the NHS. In a long-term monogamous relationship with his childhood sweetheart, Cameron.
RACHEL: Half Irish, half African corporate queen with a sassy spiritual side… Trying to navigate her sexual orientation while burying the multi generational trauma of growing up in the troubles.
JACK: Working class northerner, a literal ‘jack-the-lad’. He’s the guy you warn all your female friends about, but really he’s just a trundling mess of insecurities, rejection and undiagnosed mental health issues.
Every week, one housemate at 37 Bellenden Road takes the bins out, only to find an item amongst the rubbish which sparks the story for that particular episode… from a mouldy chicken carcass to a giant pink dildo, they give us the ‘juice’ of the week through recollecting the chaos, carnage and often cripplingly cringey events of the week.
Think ‘Fleabag’ meets ‘The Archers’ with a dabble of ‘Fresh Meat’ sprinkled over for good measure.
This is the pilot episode from what is designed to be a 10-part series.

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.

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.

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.
