Wooden Overcoats ~ Funn Fragments
Funn Fragments is our regular miniseries, providing moments of day-to-day life at Funn Funerals. We gather writers from the length and breadth of independent and commercial audio drama, including BBC Radio, many of whom have never worked on the show before. Each Fragment is fully cast and produced by the Wooden Overcoats team, with the same level of care dedicated to the main series.

These are released alongside our fundraising campaigns, as incentives to our backers!
