On this episode of Road Gang Radio, hosts Jimmy Mac and Lindsay Lawler sit down with acclaimed British writer and director Julian Simpson, the mastermind behind The Lovecraft Investigations and the immersive "Pleasant Green" audio universe.

Julian opens up about the art of audio storytelling, the creative process behind his cult-favorite BBC radio dramas, and why podcasting is the frontier for writers and directors looking to build gripping, cinematic worlds with sound. The conversation also explores the impact of AI on the writing craft, and why Julian believes it's both a tool and a potential threat to creative authenticity.

Plus—Julian shares his deep love for The Godfather and how classic films continue to inspire his work across mediums. A must-listen for fans of podcasts, writing, and the eerie beauty of sound-driven storytelling.
