    S4 E5 - Lunch Date With Redemption

    Previously on Mockery Manor: Everyone is reeling from the sudden death of WIzzzard bigwig Ronja Degermark. The official line is that she choked to death - only Debbie knows she was murdered, but she's determined to keep that secret. A murder investigation on the ship would expose her and Matty, and foil their own plan to kill the Mockeries and escape under false identities. While tensions boil in the breakfast room (and JJ decides to drag Ralph off to Le Donjon Des Horreurs for a bit of hanky-panky), a distraught Frances bursts in. She has found Lydia, locked in a walk-in freezer. Mockery Manor was written by Lindsay Sharman, and directed by Lindsay Sharman and Laurence Owen. Music, sound design and editing by Laurence Owen. Featuring: Hayley Evenett as JJ, Laurence Owen as Parker, Matty and additional voices, Beth Eyre as Nurse Debbie, Nicholette Chew as Lydia, Chardae Phillips as Frances, Ivan Wilkinson as Ralph, and John Henry Falle was the Captain. ---- Buy all seasons of Mockery Manor on Bandcamp Get yourself some Mockery Manor merch from the Long Cat shop Support Lindsay & Laurence Long Cat on Ko-fi Follow Long Cat Media on YouTube See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    S4 E4 - Hot And Cold

    Previously on Mockery Manor: In the Whimsy's grand dining room, Margot reveals that she has made JJ, Parker and a third unnamed deputy the inheritors of Mockery Manor, much to everyone's surprise. Frances eavesdrops on conversations between Urs Muller and the other Wizzzard bigwigs, while Ralph tells JJ that Margot has been behaving strangely. JJ spots Matty dressed as a waiter, but before she can tell anyone, Ronya Degermark (a high-profile Wizzzard) begins choking. Frances attempts the Heimlich manoeuvre, but it's too late. Nurse Debbie declares Ronya dead at the scene. Mockery Manor was written by Lindsay Sharman, and directed by Lindsay Sharman and Laurence Owen. Music, sound design and editing by Laurence Owen. Featuring: Hayley Evenett as JJ, Laurence Owen as Parker, Matty, Urs Muller, Giuseppe, Antoine and the Chef, Lindsay Sharman as Margot and Captain Crackles, Beth Eyre as Nurse Debbie, Chardaé Phillips as Frances, Tom Crowley as the definitely-a-real-doctor and Fin Guido Maneriumsen, Nicholette Chew as Lydia, Ivan Wilkinson as Ralph, and John Henry Falle as the Captain. ---- Buy all seasons of Mockery Manor on Bandcamp Get yourself some Mockery Manor merch from the Long Cat shop Support Lindsay & Laurence Long Cat on Ko-fi Follow Long Cat Media on YouTube See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    S4 E3 - Red Snapper

    Previously on Mockery Manor... Matty has stowed away on board the Whimsy, assisted by his lover and co-conspirator Debbie, who is posing as the ship's nurse. JJ is blindsided by the revelation that Parker has just been dumped by an on-off girlfriend after seven years, despite him never once mentioning her. The pair then lay a wager on who can bed the most people before their week on the Whimsy is out. Meanwhile, a lone, vaguely French-sounding someone is lured into Mermaid Booboos' Aquarium of Wonders, before being chloroformed by a sinister masked figure.

Meanwhile, cruise director Davina is stuck on land with norovirus, and the ship's doctor hasn't turned up either!

    Introducing: Jack Valentine, Vampire Detective

    Today we'd like to introduce you to another great show from the Fable & Folly Network - Jack Valentine, Vampire Detective That title was enough to grab me on its own, but in case you need more, here's what it's about. From their base at Solomon College, Oxford, Jack Valentine and her colleagues are tasked with keeping the existence of vampires secret from humanity. Mostly they hunt those of their number who’ve got carried away while blood-drinking and killed a human by accident, but occasionally they encounter the most dangerous kind of predator: a vampire serial killer. Jack Valentine, Vampire Detective is an LGBTQIA+-led comedy drama that mashes vampires and police procedural together into a fast-paced, sometimes gritty, sometimes romantic, and darkly funny mix. This isn't the first Jack Valentine story - the series' creator Josie Jaffrey has written 7 books starring this character. The podcast is a prequel, so you don't need to have read the books to enjoy it, but this is a seriously fleshed out world with a whole load of lore and stories to get lost in. You can find all the info here, and you can subscribe to the podcast in all the usual places Once you've listened to this, the second episode is coming out on June 19th, so head over and subscribe to Jack Valentine Vampired Detective to keep listening. And now, here's episode 1 - Dead Man's Hand. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    We're leaving Spotify. Let's keep in touch!

    Here's the link to our Bandcamp page And here's the link to our Ko-fi page Hello, listeners! It’s us again. Hopefully you listened to our last message. If you didn’t, it was about how we’re taking all our shows off Spotify. And now, that time has come: as of today, we’ve requested their removal. Spotify makes the process as opaque as possible, so we don’t have a definitive date for when they will disappear, but it is imminent. So, where can you find us once we’re off Spotify? Where are we putting our brand new season of Mockery Manor? Are we making sure there’s always a free way to listen to it? Firstly, yes, there are many ways to listen to our shows for free. They will continue to exist on almost all podcast platforms - except Spotify. The free versions include adverts, although we try to keep those to a minimum. If you’d prefer to listen to Mockery without adverts - and who wouldn’t - then the most ethical way to do that is one we’ve just launched, where for only £3.49, you can purchase a whole season of Mockery on Bandcamp. And if you’re wondering why we chose £3.49, that’s because that was the average cost of a CD single in around 2002, when I started buying music. All our scripted podcasts are now available on Bandcamp, and they sound much better. The audio quality of a podcast is higher there than on any other online platform. MUCH higher. That’s because podcast platforms use compressed MP3s, while on Bandcamp, everything is CD-quality, high definition lossless audio. And unlike other online services, Bandcamp pays artists fairly. In a world that seems to be trying to destroy creators, services like Bandcamp means we can keep going. Also, Bandcamp’s profits DO NOT go into the pockets of mass murderers! What a world, where that’s even a thing. We’ve always given our monthly supporters free access to our music albums on Bandcamp, but going forward, they’ll also have access to unlimited plays of our podcasts in high definition, so join us over on Ko-fi for that delicious perk. Mockery Manor season 4 is due out this summer, so please do listen to it for free on any other podcast platform, or for £3.49 on Bandcamp. See you on the other side!

    Important: Please stop using Spotify

    Hello, Laurence & Lindsay here. We've got a big problem, and we need your help. If you're listening to this on Spotify, we're asking you to stop, and switch to another podcast player. As I'm sure most of you know, there's plenty of evidence that Spotify is a terrible company with a long history of exploiting and underpaying artists, but that's only part of why it's so bad. It's been reported that Spotify's CEO, Daniel Ek, has recently invested millions of Euros of your subscription fees in an AI weaponry company called Helsing. This company has developed an automated target identification system, with the option to keep a human in the loop. In other words, it's machines selecting which humans to kill on the battlefield. It's also been reported Spotify donated $150,000 to the Trump campaign, and it's recently been running ICE recruitment ads. It is a powerful force for bad. So here's our problem. Almost half of our total listenership comes from Spotify, and the adverts that we run are how we make our money. If we just pulled our podcasts straight away, that would be a huge financial blow for us. So we would like to urge you to listen elsewhere, on another podcast player. Lots of people recommend one called Pocket Casts, we've also heard good things about Podcast Addict. In the last month, we've had downloads from about 50 different podcast players, so there are plenty of alternatives. We've going to take our podcasts off Spotify as soon as it becomes clear that there is a real movement to cancel Spotify subscriptions and move to other platforms, and that movement is growing. For you, thankfully, this doesn't cost anything. Podcasts are, and will always be, free to listen to on any platform. Like we said, a lot of people seem to like Pocket Casts, and as far as we know, they're not evil. There are also a ton of others to choose from - all very accessible, and all free. If you've ever enjoyed our podcasts, or you're about to discover them, thank you so much for listening. Let's try and do the right thing. ANTENNAPOD is another one we are hearing good things about!

    Mockery Manor meets... Midst!

    We're delighted to be bringing you one of our long-time favourite audio dramas - the wild and wonderful science-fantasy-western Midst. But before that, we sat down with the show's three mysterious creators Xen, Sara and Matt, to have a good old chat about the making of both Midst and Mockery Manor! We've been fans of each others' shows from their very beginnings, and it was such a pleasure to finally meet them. A little about Midst: The small desert planet of Midst spins on the border between two halves of the cosmos: the dazzling Un and the mysterious Fold. Life is simple for most of the planet’s inhabitants… until an influential civilization known as the Trust takes an interest in Midst and sparks an unexpected chain of events, intertwining the lives of three complicated antiheroes. Also, unrelated to any of that, Midst’s moon is about to fall out of the sky and cause reality to eat itself alive, so that’s not great either. Unsolved murders, cult brainwashing, and supernatural darkness all combine to create a clusterfuck of cosmic proportions. As always, you can find Midst wherever you get your podcasts. New Episodes of Midst release every Wednesday on your favorite podcast streaming platform, the Critical Role YouTube Channel, and for subscribers on Midst.co Subscribe to Midst Support Lindsay and Laurence on Ko-fi!
