Mon, 27 May 2024 16:49:56 GMT

You're Not Special!

Mon, 11 Dec 2023 07:00:37 GMT

Time to calm down and relax with a lovely short story...

This weeks story is read by ME (so it really must be fantastic) and is about Colin, a hypersensitive soul seeking a therapist to help him through life. When he arrives in her office though, she seems a little bit, well, familiar...

Please support the podcast by writing a review or clicking the five star button. If you do I will send you an imaginary Mitch Days Story Time Medal (delivered by the imaginary postman in an imaginary satchel at a time of your imagening)

Denise, her Daughter & DEAN

Mon, 04 Dec 2023 08:00:45 GMT

Hard day? Annoying customer? Snotty email? Well! Let us take you away from all that with a BRILLIANT short story...

This episode stars the wonderful Eliza Williams as Denise and is the Podcasts very first duologue (her co star is me! Mitch Day as DEAN)

Set in the near future where AI has advanced we meet DEAN (think Siri or Alexa, but smarter) who becomes an unlikely agony aunt to Denise as she is desperate to stop her daughter Debbie from marrying the wrong man.

(This episode contains one bad word...ONE. Just the one.)

Who Invited The Swingers?

Mon, 27 Nov 2023 08:00:10 GMT

Welcome back! After a rather long pause we're here again to save you from a gloomy day of your choice with a wonderful short story. Time to relax and be elsewhere for a while don't you think?

This episode stars the wonderful Anya Sayadian as Linda, hiding in her bath from house guests who are there for a little bit more than canapés. This is an entirely accidental arrangement of course, after all; one of them is her boss...

(Despite the explicit warning there is no bad language here - but there is, as the title would suggest, an adult theme)

The Guinea Pig Clause

Sun, 14 Mar 2021 11:15:21 GMT

My first ROM COM! Special Guest Lydia Cashman brings to life my short story about Rebecca, a young woman who has a very intrusive imagination, a much loved Guinea Pig, a work place crush AND a group of strange and irritating work colleagues...

Shouting at the Dead

A Ghostly Plaice

Sat, 14 Nov 2020 21:16:37 GMT

Spoiling you with yet another special guest! This time in the form of the wonderful Michael Feldsher reading my short story "A Ghostly Plaice" (It's not a typo guys...it'll all make sense later) If you love a little bit of ghostly spookiness but without the actual fear or horror element this story is for you. Who says a ghost story can't have a little bit of charm thrown in?

The Shakespeare Paradox

Tue, 03 Nov 2020 21:55:46 GMT

Need a little break from the world? Here's half an hours total silliness based on my love/hate relationship with William Shakespeare. This is an absolutely totally fully completely improvised short story based on nought but the grey stuff in my brain. Enjoy!

Dreaming The Life

It's time for my second special guest! Fantastic Actor Amy Scanlon reads my short story "Dreaming The Life"

Ending Howard

Sun, 30 Aug 2020 13:57:36 GMT

Hurrah! The first in a string of new episodes featuring special guest performers starts here with Káit Feeney. Káit joins us to perform my monologue "Ending Howard" which was originally written for a showcase called "Art From The Heart" (Directors Cut Theatre Company) and performed LIVE (remember that?) on the 15th March 2020 at the Southwark Playhouse.

The Fellowship Of The Something

Wed, 17 Jun 2020 15:49:39 GMT

So! Are you very familiar with The Lord Of The Rings movies? I hope so, otherwise this won't make much sense at all. Or perhaps it's better that way who knows, a big super fan of those movies may become very agitated at all my minor changes or details forgotten...but anyway here it is. Another charming retelling of a beloved film.

PS - this episode contains one naughty word. Sorry! I'm only human...

Ms Lynch

Sun, 24 May 2020 10:29:14 GMT

Not a silly improvised retelling this episode. Instead: it's my first proper short story of the podcast which I've written with a pen and everything! (Obviously I've read it aloud, otherwise we'd face a little problem). There's some outtakes at the end as well which I thought I'd throw in which includes one naughty word, hence the explicit language listing for the episode, but there's not really anything else explicit in the story so if you fall down weeping and shaking at anything stronger than the word "fiddlesticks" then perhaps switch me off after my outro finishes. There: You have been sufficiently warned so no fainting now you. Enjoy!

Sebastian's Baby

Sun, 03 May 2020 15:07:01 GMT

ALIEN! What a great film. This is my fully improvised, totally unedited retelling of that iconic 1979 space/horror (albeit with very little horror and absolutely no suspense) I do just about manage to remember to mention space now and then though, oh and the cat! Who could forget the cat?

Rumpelmuffin

Sun, 12 Apr 2020 15:55:35 GMT

Well! Rumpelstiltskin is an oddun isn't it? I'm not 100% what it's even about. But as I mentioned him during my CinderKellen episode I suppose the little tyke was on my mind. So here we go, my second attempt at improvising through a famous story that I only partially remember. At least this time there's no fond cinematic memories to trample on - Rumpelstiltskin isn't anyones favourite. Maybe I can change that...

CinderKellen

Fri, 10 Apr 2020 16:18:33 GMT

My improvised take on the classic and, according to Readers Digest, most loved fairytale "Cinderella". Featuring a host of character voices pulled from, well, somewhere deep inside my brain! Listen carefully and you can actually hear the cogs of my frontal lobe slowly clonk around as the most famous features of this family favourite elude me. If you enjoy it - please tell others on social media! I'm @MitchDayUK on Twitter and Instagram. If you didn't enjoy it then a five star review would really confuse me and be a great passive-aggressive revenge for you! Go on - throw those five ninja stars right at me!
