Anarchic imaginings
Silly, serious, sumptuous, this is a funny podcast from a madcap group of comics that deserves to be widely heard and praised.
For fans of weird fiction, satire, and nob gags 😄

Brilliantly funny
The first podcast that I actually laughed out loud at. Listening to this on my way to work with me laughing to myself got me more that a few weird looks.

One Of The Best Podcasts I've Ever Listened To
A podcast not for the faint of heart, from the comedy of Carver to the jokes from Jabez, it's great all the way

Dark, Funny and Not For the Light-Stomached
The best comedy dances around the edge of the pitch black: satire, parody, downright revolting. This is a merry waltz into “I cannot believe they went there! THEY WENT THERE!"
Rude Alchemy have come on something of a journey from a radio theatre podcast that had elements of genius, but made you go “eh?” to a truly black masterpiece of speculative fictional comedy. Yup, had to get in all in there. Because it’s ALL IN THERE.
Ranging from steam-punky sic-fi to Wells-ian Victorian-detective-Lovecraft to Black Plague era Poe-esque horror, to- well, I haven’t got the American Civil War story yet, but guaranteed it’ll be a mash-up doozy- these guys produce a sound scape of titillating aural pleasure.
Seriously, I cannot get more adjectival or hyperbolic if I tried.
Ok, one quibble: the sound balance is occasionally off (one voice meant to be close to another sounds far away or as if it is trapped in a recording box), with pauses in between lines that can ruck the flow of the story.
But for four men trapped on a sea-going vessel made from “the body of an ancient one and several thousand yards of cooking twine”, this is not a bad feast for the ears, not bad at all.
Definitely more cordon bleu than gordon bennet.
(Love you guys- especially the Narrator- Yay!)

Joyful craziness
A fantastic podcast melding elements of The Goon Show, Monty Python and others, set in a vast steampunk universe and voiced by a bunch of madcap actors. Great fun!
