Hello. This is Paul, the co-writer and narrator of Dear Bastard! '
Dear Bastard!' is a scripted, comedy fiction podcast, set in a house that's been subdivided into apartments. All seems well from the outside – but within, the six residents are trapped in a never-ending group email thread that brings out the worst in everyone.
As they try unsuccessfully to navigate their differences, minor problems like overfull trash cans and malfunctioning doorbells begin to escalate into passive-aggressive rows about invasive species in the garden, allegations of money-laundering and fraud, and shady remarks designed to make you laugh your head off.
Full of sniping, bickering and absurdity courtesy of characters you’ll feel like you’ve known all your life, this is a podcast for everyone who’s ever had a neighbour – and made the mistake of giving them an email address.
We initially wrote this play in lockdown using first time actors , and and we hope you enjoy!
Buckle up, and welcome to the world of Dear Bastard!
cw: Occasional swearing.
