King of Bath: A BBC Radio 4 Sitcom
"David Bamber stars in this comedy drama about the adventures and misadventures of 18th-century dandy Richard ‘Beau’ Nash In the fashionable spa town of Bath, one man is the arbiter of taste and the epitome of elegance: the self-proclaimed ‘King of Bath’, Beau Nash. In his capacity as Master of Ceremonies, he presides over the city’s social life, arranging balls and concerts for the ‘ton’, keeping a discreet eye on distinguished visitors and smoothing over any quarrels or disagreements. In these six episodes, he has his work cut out for him, as he saves an heiress from her wealthy aunt’s wrath; comes up against a duelling German Count to avert a looming tragedy; and endeavours to hide his Welsh origins to gain royal approval for his cordial. He also helps his nephew Ambrose realise his dream of running a school, does his best to compromise a Methodist minister; and turns detective to track down a highwayman – only to find that all the clues point to him... Full of farcical fun, this entertaining historical sitcom by Arnold Evans stars David Bamber (Pride and Prejudice, Rome) as Beau Nash, with Eiry Thomas (The Pact) as his loyal housemaid Annie.

After Eden: A BBC Radio 4 comedy
"Alison Leonard's warm-hearted gentle comedy about the life and trials of a woman priest in a small Welsh town When the Reverend Elaine Metcalfe is inducted as the vicar of Pontvale, she hopes the job will have more to it than lending out spare sets of keys. She soon discovers there's plenty of challenges in her new home - not least the daily needs of her parishioners, which range from community theatre productions, arranging a wedding and a funeral for the same day, and local scandal over the vicar's culottes. On top of that, the Rev Metcalfe is also dealing with a local man who may be hearing angels, her ex-husband's opinions of the vicar's green activism, and church superiors watching her every move. Moving, warm and full of characters, this sweet series is perfect for fans of The Vicar of Dibley. Cast Christine Pritchard - Rev Elaine Metcalfe Sue Jones Davies - Sian Hywel Morgan - Phil Steve Hodson - Mr Hudson Simon Harris - Gareth Michael Povey - Rev Melvyn Johns Jilly Bond - Christina Manon Edwards - Gwen Kristin Milward - Sheila Clare Isaac - Tash Rhodri Hugh - Bryn Simon Ludders - Adam Nia Davies - Puck Dafydd Wyn Roberts - Ellis Marilyn Le Conte - Josie Sharon Morgan - Freda Oliver Senton - Sergei / Colin / Tom Originally broadcast on Radio 4: 23 February - 30 March 1995 Production credits Written by Alison Leonard Produced by Alison Hindell ©2023 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd (P)2023 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd"

The Body Lies: ‘A propulsive #Metoo thriller’ GUARDIAN
"Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Body Lies by Jo Baker, read by Imogen Church, Deborah McBride, Sam Woolf, Simon Ludders and Julie Maisey. A layered and thrilling suspense novel that grapples with how to live as a woman in the modern world - or in the pages of a book - when the stakes are dangerously high. When a young writer accepts a job at a university in the remote countryside, it’s meant to be a fresh start, away from the big city and the scene of a violent assault she’s desperate to forget. But despite the distractions of a new life and single motherhood, her nerves continue to jangle. To make matters worse, a vicious debate about violence against women inflames the tensions and mounting rivalries in her creative writing group. When a troubled student starts sending in chapters from his novel that blur the lines between fiction and reality, the professor recognises herself as the main character in his book - and he has written her a horrific fate. Will she be able to stop life imitating art before it's too late? At once a breathless cat-and-mouse game and a disarming exploration of sexual politics, The Body Lies is an essential book for our times."

Truth: How the Many Sides to Every Story Shape Our Reality
"Random House presents the audiobook edition of Truth by Hector Macdonald, read by Simon Ludders. For fans of Nudge, Black Box Thinking and The Art of Thinking Clearly, a fascinating dive into the many ways in which ‘competing truths’ shape our opinions, behaviours and beliefs. True or false? It’s rarely that simple. There is more than one truth about most things. Eating meat is nutritious but it’s also damaging to the environment. The Internet disseminates knowledge but it also spreads hatred. As communicators, we select the truths that are most useful to our agenda. We can select truths constructively to inspire organisations, encourage children, and drive progressive change. Or we can select truths that give a false impression of reality, misleading people without actually lying. Others can do the same, motivating or deceiving us with the truth. Truths are neutral but can also be highly versatile tools that we can use for good or ill. Hector Macdonald here explores how truth is used and abused in politics, business, the media and everyday life. Combining great storytelling with practical takeaways and a litany of fascinating, funny and insightful case studies, Truth is a sobering and engaging read about how profoundly our mindsets and actions are influenced by the truths that those around us choose to tell."
Hector Macdonald (Author), Simon Ludders (Narrator)
