On Silence Podcast
Eleven writers, four months, one podcast – the brief was simple. Our aim was to recreate the dynamics of a writer’s room to produce an original literary podcast series. During the second half of 2023, we engaged in regular meetings with our groups of writers who worked in collaboration to produce thirteen episodes.

Our writers were presented with the first letter, then instructed to continue the story. Each writer wrote, edited end recorded up to two letters; each contribution was rigorously reviewed by the other members of the team to create, what we hope to be, a cohesive, well-crafted narrative. The process – like the story – led us to surprising discoveries. Whether the experiment worked or not is up to you to decide…
