The Hauntening: The Complete Series 1 and 2 of the BBC Radio 4 comedy
About this audiobook
Modern technology is terrifying. The average smartphone carries out three-point-three-six billion instructions per second. The average person can only carry out one instruction in that time. Stop and think about that for a second. Sorry, that’s two instructions; you won’t be able to do that.
But what if modern technology was... literally terrifying? What if there really was a ghost in the machine? Travel through the bad gateway in this modern ghost story as award-winning writer and performer Tom Neenan discovers what horrors may lurk in our apps and gadgets...
In the first episode of the first series, Tom tries out a dating app that seems to find people who may not quite be compatible in terms of age, location... or century...
In Show 2, Tom has acquired a healthy new lifestyle, a shiny new fridge and a terrifying new problem.
In the first episode of Series 2, Tom records a podcast - with an unwanted guest...
In the next episode Tom downloads a taxi app which offers some unexpected destinations...
... and in this final episode Tom attracts the attention of a very persistent vlogger...
This show comes from Pozzitive, proud producers of Cabin Pressure, John Finnemore’s Double Acts, Thanks A Lot, Milton Jones!, Agendum, Armando Iannucci’s Charm Offensive & Kevin Eldon Will See You Now...
