Cornucopia Radio Podcast

Humanity is under attack. Monsters born from the darkest depths, crawl the wretched streets day and night, killing and devouring all they find. The few people that survive, do so by living deep underground. But there is hope. There is entertainment. Because every night a select band of heroes around the world ride the great elevators to the surface. To battle the horde. To defeat the demons. Broadcasting live onto millions of bunker monitors across the planet. This is... The Hellstream!! Warning: This production includes intense scenes of violence. This work has been created in partnership with www.11thhouraudio.com We all hope you really enjoyed this production; it was so much fun to make. We were influenced by trashy horror anime, Paul Verhoeven films and 'first person shooters' in putting this all together. We’d also love to hear from you if you enjoyed it, or want to get involved in future audiodrama productions with us.

James sits alone in his flat dreading the things that lurk outside. Margaret silently considers how much time she has left as a machine rhythmically measures her heartbeat. Kathy slowly worries about what she has lost and Jane tries to come to terms with what she now has to cut away. It is a season of change for all four of them, and that’s when the lightbulb flickers for a brief moment before the filament breaks at its weakest point and everyone is left in darkness. We all know it’s only temporary and lightness will surely soon return......but can we ever be sure? 'A Season of Changes' is our new one-off audiodrama, recorded in Sheffield and telling the story of four people whose past misfortunes and future hopes become intertwined through a thin dividing wall.

The future comes for us all eventually. No matter how many times we have fought the good fight. So on the morning of September 1838, the HMS Temeraire, known as the ‘Fighting Temeraire’, was towed down the Thames to her final destination. On that day, the artist William Turner looked upon the scene and immortalised it in what was later to become the nation’s favourite painting. But there was more to this story than just a painting, but perhaps it is not the story you were expecting… "Fading Down The River" is our new historical audiodrama. Written by Brian Stephenson and Christopher Bellamy.

The gavel slams onto its pedestal and the audience burst into applause. All around them, the gallery is buzzing with conversations from its many occupants, who mingle amongst the different paintings, photographs and sculptures that reside in this beautiful and luxurious endless white room. At the back, beaming with pride; stands Oscar Johansson. He is the artist behind all of this work... even though most of it was created by ‘something’ else. ‘The Exhibit’ is our new Scripted-Podcast written by Andrew Shaktah, which investigates how Artificial Intelligence is increasingly being used to create new artistic works in a variety of fields. But at what point do the people behind the AI start to deserve as much credit as the artists themselves?

Deep underneath the waves of the ocean, two young women are on an adventure to see what hides within these hidden dark depths. Yet, danger lurks within this alternative steampunk world and soon Evie and Savannah realise that their submersible might also become their permanent tomb. So as the lights slowly fail and the air becomes cold, the only thing left between these two best friends are hidden secrets and forgotten emotions… ‘Sink With Me’ is our new emotional ‘steampunk audiodrama’ written by Jonas Tintenseher. Starring Julia Gu and Kim Gasiciel. We hope you enjoy listening

Deep underground, in a secret location; a team of engineers and scientists are about to embark on a breakthrough experiment which could change our fundamental understanding of science and physics. But do these people actually understand what it is they are attempting and are they really correct in ignoring the dire warnings? They say monsters could be unleashed and that the timestream might even start collapsing backwards upon itself... But that could never happen... could it?

Lonnie Taylor is not a man given to sudden whims or flights of fancy and doesn’t believe in most things until they can be proven to him. But one day in 2002, while deer hunting on Hayden Ridge in Lytle County. He suddenly found himself a true believer in Bigfoot. A creature he’d never previously given any thought to. ‘Lonnie Taylor's Bigfoot Encounter’ is our new scripted documentary (narrated by 'Harper the Fox') about how the things we search for externally, can often be the truths we want to look for within ourselves...

I’ve never had any luck. Infact, my entire life has been plagued by bad luck. It just follows me around like a bad smell. I was born unlucky, and it’s followed me around ever since. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not bitter and I wouldn’t swap my life for the world, but couldn’t I have just a bit of what other people have? Luck is our brand new comedy audiodrama about living with badluck and even worse weather...

It is said that life crawled up from the slime of the sea bottom and became ‘Human’ because of some inherent greatness that was bred into us before the dawn of time. But perhaps this urge was not as formless as we might have first thought… For this experimental production we had three different people read out the same short story in its entirety. We then edited/mixed these voices together; creating this unique multicast recording. Please note: This work was originally written for the January 1957 edition of ‘Amazing Stories’ magazine. Copyright on this publication was not renewed, and it is now in the public domain.

They are stories of heroism, strength and of courage. Stories in which one person can stand up against the darkness that surrounds us, and say with total conviction and self-belief; that they are the ‘light’. We see pages full of colour and life, in which kinetic action moves across the panels. Dancing in front of our eyes, filling our imagination with endless possibilities... Comics are a way of life for so many people, but do we truly understand their power? More importantly; if that power was ever unleashed, would it be used for good or for evil? So today, we're asking the question. What would we create?
