&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Show Information&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Who's the show-runner(s) and what is their title? &lt;br&gt;
Lance Dann Dr&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What is the story of why you started your show?&lt;br&gt;
I've been working in radio drama and audio for a couple of decades and had produced some early podcast dramas about 11 years ago. I'd been seeking funding for project for some years and Blood Culture came together with the backing of an organisation called the Wellcome Trust (who do bio-medical research and fund public engagement with their work).  I wanted to tell a bio-medical who-done-it - a mystery where you had to engage with science to figure the story out. I was also concerned about the behaviour of big tech companies and the cult like atmosphere that surrounds them (and their heads) this also informed the story.  Finally I wanted to tell a cracking story with a lot of punch-ups, great music and a touch of humour.  Hopefully Blood Culture did all this...&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;What genre(s) apply to your show (e.g. horror, post apocalypse, comedy...):&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Thriller&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

A'isha works at the tech company Meta... she isn't happy there but is just doing her job... then an old friend comes to visit and turn her life on its head. Special Guests: David Allen, Keith Riley, LJ Donnell, Max Baskin, and Michelle Morrison.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;I'd been writing a series about aliens living in Niagara Falls, but it was clear that I was in over my head on both the writing and production side. So I brainstormed ideas for a show that would be more episodic, and easier to produce, and came up with "fairy-tale hospital show".. It turned out to be exactly as complicated as the abandoned Niagara project. Special Guests: David Allen, Maggie Allen, Max Baskin, and Thomas Sixten.&lt;/li&gt;
