An Audio Podcast of Questionable Distinction | Full Cast Audio Drama & Comedy Anthology

Dear Listeners of An Audio Podcast of Questionable Distinction,
Thank you — truly — for lending us your ears, your time, and your tolerance for exploding puddings, rogue Festivus celebrations, and the occasional Flash Gordon-related temporal anomaly.
This odd little show would be nothing without your support, your curiosity, and your willingness to follow us down whatever rabbit hole we stumble into each episode.
If you’ve enjoyed the chaos, we’d be absolutely chuffed if you’d do two very distinguished things:
Share a link to your favorite episode with a fellow oddball, eccentric relative, or time traveler.
Leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform — even a few words helps more listeners discover the questionable glory of what we do.
As always, we remain proudly low-budget, semi-coherent, and joyfully ridiculous — and it means the world that you’re along for the ride.
Wishing you joy, nonsense, and pudding (of the non-explosive variety),
Write us we would like to hear from you

Tycho Brahe & Mrs. Longfellow (1985) — “They’re in love. With each other. And with danger.”
Rumble Falls is the kind of sleepy mining town where the neon flickers, the saxophone never sleeps, and somebody is always “accidentally” falling into a shaft. Into this glitter-dusted grit strolls a most 80s power-couple: Tycho Brahe—yes, the 16th-century Danish astronomer with the polished brass nose—reborn by unexplained TV science and forever quoting the heavens, and Mrs. Longfellow—cocktail-wielding socialite, magazine maven, and problem-solver who can spot a murder motive faster than she can finish a bourbon. Think Hart to Hart chemistry, Simon & Simon stakeouts, and Murder, She Wrote coincidence—all poured over crushed ice and served with a cheeky umbrella. 
 The unaired two-hour pilot drops our lovers into “A Case of Miss Dynamite,” where a pageant queen goes boom, a mayor sweats rosewater, and a foreman insists a lit stick of dynamite is a “romance candle.” Crane shots you can practically hear, freeze-frame laughs you can definitely feel, and a theme song that says “lighthearted crime show” before the first commercial bumper. Tycho charts trajectories and blood spatter like star maps; Mrs. Longfellow reads people like a society page. The clues point left-handed, the alibis go right out the window, and every time Tycho’s about to solve it, she solves him instead. Do they crack the case? Eventually. Do they sizzle? Constantly. (Cue the rim-lit promo still, police tape just out of focus, and a jet that keeps “turning around” for one more kiss.) 
 In true 80s fashion, the town’s brass can’t stand them, the townsfolk adore them, and the captions were supposed to explain everything… not that anyone read those during the key change. The result is a gloriously anachronistic, neon-noir valentine to prime-time sleuthing: part telescope, part tumbler, all chemistry.

Professional sleeping as high-stakes entertainment - it sounds ridiculous, but this Irish-Vegas fusion spectacle called "Somnambu-dance" is selling out massive venues and turning unconsciousness into a multi-million dollar industry.
That's such a fascinating cultural phenomenon - how did Michael Layflat manage to convince thousands of people to pay premium prices to watch him literally sleep on stage?
