Michael started his audio adventures in the time of cheap tape recorders. He, along with co-creator of the A&M Audio Adventures podcast, dwelt in an asbestos-riddled room penning scripts on puce-toned bookkeeping journals.Flicking off the curious spiders, propping our legs up against noxious oil-wick heaters, we wrote frozen-fingered in the damp confines of a 200-year old cellar.We then roared our scribblings into a 'Unisef' SZ 70 Portable Stereo cassette player microphone, (making sure to press record). We played our two voices from that in the background onto a JVC RCW40 deck that had a surprisingly good built-in mic. We overdubbed and overdubbed, ending up with a hiss-filled cacophonous chorus of puerile teenage filth.We taped and taped, often onto 'Hi-Tech' ferric oxide 90-minute tapes, bought up at the local post office for £1 each.Outside it rained. Inside it smelled of must and total immersion. Maybe break now for an oven-heated 5-inch pizza from Mace, mushed into white bread, lathered in Heinz Salad Cream, with talk of more ideas to write down.In 1987, hair metal was riding high in the British Gallup-compiled charts and we hung on in late on a Friday night to catch Tommy Vance on the BBC Radio 1 Friday Rock Show, followed by The James Whale Radio Show on ITV. A&M (still) make audio adventures & unique audio fiction stories with disturbing characters but with hopefully more lavish sound design.Original, scripted and in HD audio. We present our Friday Rock Show, with the best in rock music, reading our explicit & dubious listener tales live.Showcasing new characters & yarns with 100s of hours of feature-length stories, including Timefiddler, United Mutations, Frumpy Dumpster, Mount Pheasant, Mental Holmes, Panspermia, UCLS, Stargeezers, Moshtalgia, Wool Freaks, Silverback & many more.
