91热爆

We’re all in need of a little bit of distraction at the moment. Whether you’re self-isolating at home, working hard on the front line, or simply seeking some storytelling for when you take your daily stroll – an audio drama can transport you to another world. From modern conspiracy thrillers, to sci-fi classics, to surreal comedies, here are seven top offerings from the 91热爆.

The chart-topping, electronic duo KLF provided many of the dance floor-fillers of the early 90s. Then in August 1994 the pop-producing pair, Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty, travelled to a remote Scottish island where, in a disused boathouse, they burnt two suitcases of cash amounting to one million pounds – all in the name of art. But why?

How to Burn a Million Quid is a comic, surreal, fast-moving account of this true story. It follows the agents of chaos as they blaze a trail to Sweden, the North Pole and the Sierra Nevada, via Northampton, before arriving finally on Jura. This sonic roller-coaster features Paul Higgins (The Thick of It, Line of Duty) as Bill, and Nicholas Burns (Nathan Barley, The World’s End) as Jimmy. Oh, and a talking salmon.

London, 1988. Three ambitious young women form a band, Velveteens, to take on the world. But is the world ready? Armed with loud guitars, attitude to burn, and a makeshift manager, they are soon taking their first faltering steps into the music industry.

Written by two veterans of the business, Roy Boulter (from The Farm) and Louise Wener (of Sleeper), this is the story of a young band chasing the dream. With actor, singer and comedian Shane Richie as the band's temporary manager, Vince, this drama-with-music charts the life of Velveteens from formation to first gig; from first demo to (hopefully) first record deal…

What price would you pay for a new body? Lucy Catherine's dystopian drama Body Horror is set in 2050 when London can cater for all your transplant needs. And the more you pay, the better your body.

Transplant patient Caroline is expecting a new body to change her life forever – but not in the way it does. Soon, she’s having teething problems. She’s haunted by violent dreams, attacks a dog and stabs her boss. And whose voice is that she can hear in her head? It’s clear she's not alone in there and she's no longer in control…

This psychological sci-fi thriller stars Jill Halfpenny (of EastEnders fame) as a demoralised mortician.

Forest 404 is an immersive sci-fi thriller set in the 24th century, in a world where forests have been erased from history. Pan is a young woman with a boring job, sorting and deleting old sound files that survived a data crash called The Cataclysm. She uncovers a set of sound recordings from the early 21st century that haunt her – recordings of rainforests. Pan feels compelled to hunt down the truth about how these forests of the old world died, whilst being pursued by the agents of the new world’s ruling powers.

This eco-thriller, with original music by Bonobo, raises the question: can you feel loss for something you’ve never known? And what if the world’s verdant ecosystem was a thing of the past, and all we had left were a few audio files?

Toby believes that he is often controversial A-lister, rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, entrepreneur and fashion designer Kanye West. But the truth is, he's just a 42-year-old self-employed electrician, born and raised in South Wales, whose world is falling apart.

Dr Newman is trying to help him see the truth, and his ‘Celebrity Worship Syndrome’ for what it is, so that he can get his life back on track... isn't she?

Darragh Mortell's first play for Radio 4 is a whip-smart comedy drama about delusion, paranoia, CIA conspiracy and what it feels like to be the little guy in an age of celebrity. Sule Rimi picked up a nomination for Best Actor at the 91热爆 Audio Awards for his portrayal of Toby. Or should that be Kanye?

Dr Helen Ash is an unlikely heroine – cold, defensive, and seemingly heartless. But then aren’t all the best protagonists flawed?

When a plane crashes in West Wales, the otherwise brittle doctor finds herself pulling bodies from the wreckage and tending compassionately to the wounded. And as it becomes clear that there is more to this than a mere accident, a dark, compelling mystery begins to unfold.

Romola Garai stars in this multi-award-winning conspiracy thriller, written by Matthew Broughton. The good news is, if you’re a fan of series one, there are three more to get your teeth into. In Series 2, a dark secret lies hidden in the mountains of Snowdonia…

Dangerous Visions is a season of dramas and readings that explore contemporary takes on future dystopias. Mixing sci-fi classics with brand new writing, and a strong line-up of acting talent, they present uneasy reflections of the future…

In The Zone, we listen in on a corrupt world where power lies in blood and body parts; and in Siege, charismatic National Front candidate Vincent Ferre stirs up dangerous social unrest as he campaigns to become the next mayor of Grenoble.
