Frank And Claude Are Following You is a big-hearted audio sitcom about two men and their obsessive pursuit of life’s minor mysteries. In the midst of a midlife crisis, author and podcaster Frank Burton has decided to record all of his conversations with his recently-retired uncle, Claude. The result is a hilarious and unique series of low-stakes adventures, from lost keys and misplaced sheep to a four thousand mile trek to a burger restaurant. It’s a story about an unlikely friendship, and an exploration of the minutia of modern living. Weird character comedy at its best. 

This is a work of fiction. Honest.

Written and performed by Frank Burton. 

Episode 1: The Orange Peel

Frank and Claude’s discovery of a discarded orange peel kick-starts an investigation that changes the course of their lives – or, at least, the course of their afternoon.
