Haven't You Heard?

By theatre(ish)

'Haven't You Heard?' is an improvised radio play and the debut podcast from Theatre(ish) productions.

Each episode sees our improvisers come together to introduce their favourite radio play and invite you to listen to the next episode. This radio play has, of course, never been heard before! Our improvisers create the whole thing in front of your very ears.

It's spontaneous, hilarious, and downright ridiculous - haven't you heard?

(This podcast was conceived during the C-19 lockdown and recorded via Zoom. Though a high production quality was our aim, internet sometimes had other ideas).
