    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...

Show Information

• What is the story of why you started your show? Kennedy first dug into the world of directing in college, but ran into difficulties really making his ideas come to life. Then he realized his childhood love of audio drama was a means of getting back into directing again. Over time he overcame self doubt to make this production a reality. In this, the world of Hearth, magic is performed by insulting the very laws of nature. During their previous adventures, Magus Elgar and his apprentice Udo Malaki met and accidentally destroyed the home of Dr. Horatio. Now they are on the hunt for the Scientific Tools Augmented with Magical Power (or STAMPs) before they fall into the wrong hands.

• Please summarize what we need to know about the story up until this point, for the episode to make sense:
  Magus Elgar and his apprentice Udo Malaaki are casters, magic users in the magical world of hearth, where insulting the laws of nature (called the elements) allow you to channel their bruised egos into magic power! Together, they have discovered a world beyond their understanding: a world of science, earth! There, they meet Dr. Graw Horatio and his assistant Kaylee Fawn, and accidentally blow up their lab and home. As a result, the doctor’s equipment from earth has mutated into Scientific Tools Augmented with Magical Power. (Or STAMPs for short) Now they scour Hearth together trying to find them before they fall into the wrong hands, or unravel reality as they know it. Up until now, much of their efforts to find the stamp has resulted in disasters and collateral damage, from nugget raptors, to a village set ablaze. In the last few episodes, Dr. Horatio has found a way to track the STAMPs with his old radio (a STAMP which now gives very Cryptic clues on its whereabouts) Will the Magical Anomaly Interdimensional Locators (MAIL) find it in time?

Special Guests: David Allen, Maggie Allen, Matt "Olaf" Hinton, and Max Baskin.

• Tell me about how your show started?
• A one off episode in an anthology series called Night Terrors. What inspired me was a series of books I wanted to write. I developed it back in the mid 90s. Researched everything it was going to be about. But after a few rejections from publishers I started rethinking how I could present it. Then with some work on how to present the tale in the audio medium. I developed The Byron Chronicles as a podcast series.

• Tell us about how your show started?
• 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.
