416 - Chats to INDIE AF Creatives at The London Podcast Fest 2026

Hellooo you wonderful audio lovers N makers n shakers of the audibly fantastical in these challenging and uncertain times - but yay for the craft of audio fiction creation and bubbles of grooviness where Audio Fiction Creative Folks can connect and enjoy the talents herein at such joyous events as a podcast festival! I went to London Podcast Fest a few weekends ago, and caught up with a few amazing creatives who were performing, supporting and enjoying this fest of audio loving joy! At time of recording this, my voice had alll the allergies so is soft and gently soporific or some such, and the mic I was using to interview had to contend with high ceilinged thronging chatty podcast festival crowds, and I think did rather well buttt yes, the quality of the sound differs a little from the usual. Bear with...! The chats herein are super fun and you can learn about some more of the briliant folks in the space - both established and up and coming. The shows at this fest for audio drama were: Audio Drama Done Quick Camlann Long Cat’s Madam Magenta and Bernard (Featuring Beth Eyre) We Fix Space Junk Wooden Overcoats Find them! Follow them!
