Elena Ivanovna Popova is a grieving widow – perhaps grieving a little too hard. Grigory Stepanovitch Smirnov is an army officer looking to call in a debt from her dead husband. But will this unlikely couple find more than they bargained for?

Dumped, my new radio play, was released last week. In this article I’m going to talk about some of the things I like and don’t like about what I wrote, and some of the techniques I used to make a romantic comedy on an exploding spaceship hold together (all of which you are welcome to steal.) But first, if you haven’t listened to the play, now is a good time – because the article contains spoilers!
When we launched on iTunes about a week and a half ago I set at the time what I thought was a hugely ambitious target of achieving 1000 individual play listens by September the 1st – which, if we could also get enough rate/reviews on iTunes to get an average score in the UK, US and France, would be enough to maybe, just maybe, get us on the front page of iTunes.
Well, it took us 10 days. We smashed through 1000 listens on July 23rd and with the very exciting Operation Semen by Oliver Warren releasing tomorrow I think this may just be the beginning!
Want to help us out? Rumour has it that the average podcast that makes it to the front page as “New and Noteworthy” has received 2000 listens and 200 rate/reviews on iTunes. We’re not that far away. We could do it! Check out how to rate/review on iTunes by clicking this [link]. Friends, family, people you meet on the street – lets do something amazing!
And look at these glorious, beautiful numbers below. Or forget my obsession with graphs and go listen to some radio plays 🙂
Radio isn’t a particularly visual medium! But, if you like that sort of thing, we share our artwork, pictures of rehearsals, other stuff our artists are up to and whatever entertains us on Pinterest and Instagram. We’d love to hear from you!

Come and say hello, pin or share some images and leave some comments to say hello!
We have a Youtube channel with all our radio plays subtitled and on a playlist, which means if you pick one, press play, and reduce the window, you can happily leave it playing in the corner. Also, if English isn’t your first language or you’re curious about the text, this is a good way to get a better understanding of the play.
