Back to Dunbracken

A new Dunbracken episode is coming in a few weeks time! Until then, check out the new season of The Bad Articles. Four brand new episodes dropped today, MONDAY 6th JULY.

Article 3 - The Gums of Ballybogle!

Join our Knuckles (Patrick Meier, Laura Conlon, and Niall McKenna), alongside special guest Amelia Price, for four more episodes of chaotic supernatural investigative silliness!

WE'RE BACK! FOR ONE EPISODE (and then some more episodes after that) ONLY (and then further episodes after that only, but it'll be on a random, sporadic schedule, maybe monthly, as I have a lot of content recorded, just no time to edit)!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also We've been nominated for several awards at the Golden Lobes 2026! Yay!

Dunbracken was nominated for Best Artwork (g'wan little sheep), Best Blooper (the opening scene to episode 60, about the kid's and the bunker, if you're curious), and BEST LIVE SHOW! Which is a pretty big and humbling experience.

The Bad Articles (which I produce alongside many of the Dunbracken cast) also got 4 nominations, including Best New Show, which is wild!

You can vote for Dunbracken & The Bad Articles in the Listener's Award here!

Please do so, I'm doing a really stupid round trip from America to London to go to the award ceremony, and although I don't expect to win anything, it would be mad if we actually did.

Anyway, have a nice day. Enjoy Dunbracken.

Check out my new show 'The Bad Articles' - first 4 episodes out now - it's a supernatural comedy podcast where a team of agents investigate otherworldly threats across 1990's Ireland. It's like a Dunbracken X-Files! And you'll recognise the cast from many episodes here (in fact, everyone in TBA also features in this episode).

You can find it wherever you get your podcasts, or click the link above.

The Big Ghost, a dreaded entity of horror and smoke, has returned to Dunbracken. Or is it just a foggy night? Who's to say.

This episode featured: Patrick Meier, Laura Conlon, Gerard Donnelly, Kieran Sands, Jane McKeever, Eddie Goodwin, Megan Scott, Phil Grieve, Kit Reese, Declan King and Niall McKenna

Part 2 out on Tuesday 28th October.

Check out the first episode of my new show, The Bad Articles!

I'm so proud of it, and can't wait to build this new, silly world further, alongside some of your Dunbracken favourites. All 4 episodes of the 1st season are out now, which you can find at the linktree here.

TBA is a supernatural comedy audio drama, following the chaotic and absurd investigations of the Official Supernatural Neutralisation Agency (O.S.N.A.) as they attempt to stop otherworldly threats across 1990's Ireland. A narrative experience that weaves together improvised comedy, tabletop roleplaying and rich sound design.

TBA is like a longer, more narrative and supernatural Dunbracken, with a few dice rolled to help us tell the story. A silly and irreverent love-letter to collaborative story telling, Irish folklore and 90's nostalgia.
