New #audiofiction this coming Monday: the upsettingly named LEAKER (sorry). A 60min story, presented as a lost VHS horror film, complete with fake trailers.

Just set all the fireworks off at once, ffs. Every display should last 60 seconds, max.

My Patreon podcast UNTITLED HORROR SCREENPLAY has a bumper new episode today. I'm looking into The Living Dream: films in which dream-world & real world have become inextricably entangled

There's a long discussion of Jacob's Ladder, then in the second half I pitch a new movie idea in the same genre

And on the subject of #realartatters: AI poisoning tool NIGHTSHADE is now free for artists to use: venturebeat.com/ai/nightshad...
Nightshade, the free tool that ‘poisons’ AI models, is now available for artists to use
The tool's creators are seeking to make it so that AI model developers must pay artists to train on data from them that is uncorrupted.

If you're interested in starting a career in podcasts, this is the place to learn a lot, quick. This class always sells out!

Hey! Our piece #souvenirs is being broadcast on BBC Radio 4 tomorrow, 22 July at 4pm UK time (also available on the internet for a while thereafter), I’d love for you to listen! Especially if you enjoy tales of hurt feelings & petty revenge.
Broken friendship, typefaces, lost words, self-destruction and the legacies we didn’t intend to leave…

Listen to Souvenirs (produced by @allusionistshow.bsky.social’s @helenzaltzman.bsky.social and @martinaustwick.bsky.social) in tomorrow’s Artworks on BBC Radio 4

New episode of Imaginary Advice out today! Another anthology episode: two stories and an essay. It was originally called SHIP OF THESEUS but I've rewritten this thing so many times who knows what to call it anymore 🤡

Predator is an almost-perfect film, failed only by the fact the predator never hunts by sampling/ replaying one of shane black's big pussy jokes

At the heart of what we do remains a belief in radio's imaginative possibilities - audio that can reconfigure the world around us & sink into our dreams.

Those Final Destination films always get under my skin & I think it's because I live in a small badly made house crammed with terribly made products & I 100% believe the deregulation/ enshittification of capitalism will eventually cross a threshold & turn my home into a rube goldberg murder machine

Out now on the Imaginary Advice podcast: the first half of THEY WILL / THEY WON'T, an audio-fiction series I wrote in collaboration with @joedunthorne.bsky.social

Joe and I took turns writing chapters. Joe had to bring the two characters together. I had to break them apart

The Minecraft/Chicken Jockey thing is nothing new. In the UK in the 90s, we all went to see The English Patient & when Ralph Fiennes said "a thing is still a thing no matter what you place in front of it" we all jumped up & started beating the shit out of each other, braying like sex-mad donkeys

Is it a new podcast episode? Is it an experiment to determine the horrific effects of sleep deprivation upon the human brain?

Yes.
