Alex chats to writer and performer Michael Spicer (‘The Room Next Door’, BBC Radio 4’s ‘No Room’, 'The Mash Report') about writing a space opera, recording his BBC Radio series on his phone, and the long lost days of ‘Tweet-Ups’.

Michael also creates a character on the spot based solely on the made-up name given to him by Alex in our regular section ‘Chain(ge) of Character’. This episode was recorded 26th September 2025.
