To date, Kill the Beast have made two ‘offbeat cult classic podcast series’ (Irish Times) that ‘batter you into laughter’ (The Guardian)
Eglantine Whitechapel: Supernatural Detective
Self-produced
“a pacy, high-voltage show, with far more than the measure of energy usually reserved for podcasts….25 minutes of high-focused madness”
IRISH TIMES PODCAST OF THE WEEK
Before she was a cultural icon, super-celebrity, fitness coach, bestselling author, columnist, spokesperson, philanthropist, explorer, Commander-in-Chief at NASA, platinum-selling solo artist and Prime Minister of Great Britain, Eglantine Whitechapel was a simple secret agent in the midst of the cold war.
When her beloved mentor Ira Nudeman mysteriously vanishes along with his cursed, occult book the Necromicon it's clear to Whitechapel that the Soviets are to blame. Their aim: harness the supernatural in order to achieve world domination. But when top brass write off her theory as pure fiction, Whitechapel takes matters into her own hands.
With her handsome sidekick Vic Finnegan in tow, it's down to Eglantine Whitechapel: Supernatural Detective to save the free world from its true enemies: ghosts, vampires, yetis, squid and mummies...if she can prove they exist.
Who Exploded Vivien Stone?
Fremantle’s Storyglass label
“…excellent comic actors and a daft concept explored to its nth degree…the show’s high jokes-per-minute ratio batters you into laughter”
THE GUARDIAN PODCAST PICK OF THE WEEK
She was all over the silver screen. Now she’s all over the walls as well.
Who Exploded Vivien Stone is an anarchic comedy that wraps a murder mystery into a warped cinematic nightmare. Set on a troubled film set in 1972 where - in the wake of a tragedy - the genre, script and central vision are all up for grabs, the cast and crew must survive a killer on the loose who intends to make a few more brutal cuts…
The series was produced by Ben Walker in association with Storyglass.

Behind the Screams: Jurassic Park Edition
Beasts involved: Co-written and performed by Zoe Roberts, via Little Earthquake
Some actors say they’ll go to any lengths for the role of a lifetime.
But in the end, only one of them was prepared to eat a live goat.
Little Earthquake’s brand new comedy audio adventure lifting the lid on the making of Jurassic Park with an exclusive commentary from the movie’s scene-stealing scaly star: none other than T-Rex herself.
Giving the listener a new take on this classic monster movie — romances and rivalries, hirings and firings, continuity errors so huge they fill the screen and Easter eggs so tiny you need a microscope to spot them - hear the scandal-filled and tofu-fuelled story of T-Rex stomped, chomped and romped her way to international fame through one of the most iconic roles in cinematic history.
The Sink: A Sleep Aid
BBC Sounds
Beasts involved: Written by Natasha Hodgson. Music by David Cumming
“trippy, boundary-pushing…slides from sketch to sketch, woozily drifting through an ambient soup…genuinely unnerving. Superb.”
★★★★★ SFX
