Wooden Overcoats is now being released one episode every Thursday! At last! The producers, Andy Goddard and John Wakefield, have done a wonderful job of applying their technical wizardry to the recordings and the results are simply breathtaking. You'll be enveloped in Piffling, and that's a fact.
So far the response has been tremendously positive. On our first day of release last week, we hit 7th for Arts and 5th for Performing Arts in the iTunes charts, and have been bumping around the New and Noteworthy section since then. People are subscribing and listening to us in various countries all over the world (a special shout-out here to our listener in Qatar) and we're getting lovely things written about us on Twitter, Facebook, iTunes and everywhere else.
And you can listen to us too. In fact, I'd heavily suggest you do.

The saga begins with Episode 1: The Bane of Rudyard, in which Piffling Vale's resident undertaker Rudyard Funn (Felix Trench) endures the worst day of his life when charming competitor Eric Chapman (Tom Crowley) sets up shop across the square. Over the half hour you'll also be introduced to the other regulars, Rudyard's sister Antigone Funn (Beth Eyre) and caustic dogsbody Georgie Crusoe (Ciara Baxendale), not to mention Piffling's agnostic Reverend Wavering (Andy Secombe) and the unsettled Mayor Desmond Desmond (Steve Hodson). And the whole thing is narrated by Belinda Lang, which is simply smashing.
Then onto Episode 2: Flowers for Chapman by Christopher Hogg, which continues to explore the island and its community as Rudyard launches a two-pronged attack on Eric Chapman. Joining us for this episode are our guest stars Sarah Thom (Clare in the Community, Home Fires) as flirty flower seller Petunia Bloom, and Paul Putner (Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle, Rock & Chips, Downton Abbey) as news editor Sid Marlowe.
