Previously on Mockery Manor... Matty has stowed away on board the Whimsy, assisted by his lover and co-conspirator Debbie, who is posing as the ship's nurse. JJ is blindsided by the revelation that Parker has just been dumped by an on-off girlfriend after seven years, despite him never once mentioning her. The pair then lay a wager on who can bed the most people before their week on the Whimsy is out. Meanwhile, a lone, vaguely French-sounding someone is lured into Mermaid Booboos' Aquarium of Wonders, before being chloroformed by a sinister masked figure.

Previously on Mockery Manor... JJ and Parker welcome the old bigwigs of Wizzzard Entertainment to The Whimsy, Margot Mockery's theme park cruise ship. Margot rehearses the ship's musical, The Spirit Of The Manor with special guest star Lydia, and tasks JJ and Parker's new assistant, Frances, with spying on Urs Muller, a wealthy Wizzzard who is yet to invest in The Whimsy. Meanwhile, cruise director Davina is stuck on land with norovirus, and the ship's doctor hasn't turned up either! But all is not lost - the mysterious and beautiful ship's nurse, Debbie, has found a last minute locum.

How to buy Concessions tickets

There are concession rate tickets available for our show, but Kings Place doesn't make the process very clear, so we will guide you through it! Here's what to do.

- Create an account on the Kings Place website

- Once you've entered your details, go to the tab "Other Preferences"

- Here you will find a number of tickboxes. Here you can select any accessibility requirements you require.

- Scroll down to the heading "Sign up for our Income Support Scheme". This gives you tickboxes to say whether you receive Disability Benefit, Income Support, Pension Credit, Universal Credit, Job Seekers allowance, or you are a student.

- Select the option that fits your circumstances.

- Go back to our show listing, and select "Book Tickets"

- It will only offer Standard tickets, BUT - at the final checkout stage, you should see your concession discount! So you can now go ahead and buy your ticket.

That's it! If you have any problems, please do let us know, and we will help. We can't wait to meet you all there!

Today we'd like to introduce you to another great show from the Fable & Folly Network - Jack Valentine, Vampire Detective

That title was enough to grab me on its own, but in case you need more, here's what it's about.

From their base at Solomon College, Oxford, Jack Valentine and her colleagues are tasked with keeping the existence of vampires secret from humanity. Mostly they hunt those of their number who’ve got carried away while blood-drinking and killed a human by accident, but occasionally they encounter the most dangerous kind of predator: a vampire serial killer.

Jack Valentine, Vampire Detective is an LGBTQIA+-led comedy drama that mashes vampires and police procedural together into a fast-paced, sometimes gritty, sometimes romantic, and darkly funny mix.

This isn't the first Jack Valentine story - the series' creator Josie Jaffrey has written 7 books starring this character. The podcast is a prequel, so you don't need to have read the books to enjoy it, but this is a seriously fleshed out world with a whole load of lore and stories to get lost in. 

You can find all the info here, and you can subscribe to the podcast in all the usual places

Once you've listened to this, the second episode is coming out on June 19th, so head over and subscribe to Jack Valentine Vampired Detective to keep listening.

And now, here's episode 1 - Dead Man's Hand.

Here's the link to our Bandcamp page

And here's the link to our Ko-fi page

Hello, listeners! It’s us again. Hopefully you listened to our last message. If you didn’t, it was about how we’re taking all our shows off Spotify.

And now, that time has come: as of today, we’ve requested their removal. Spotify makes the process as opaque as possible, so we don’t have a definitive date for when they will disappear, but it is imminent.

So, where can you find us once we’re off Spotify?

Where are we putting our brand new season of Mockery Manor?

Are we making sure there’s always a free way to listen to it?

Firstly, yes, there are many ways to listen to our shows for free. They will continue to exist on almost all podcast platforms - except Spotify. The free versions include adverts, although we try to keep those to a minimum.

If you’d prefer to listen to Mockery without adverts - and who wouldn’t - then the most ethical way to do that is one we’ve just launched, where for only £3.49, you can purchase a whole season of Mockery on Bandcamp. And if you’re wondering why we chose £3.49, that’s because that was the average cost of a CD single in around 2002, when I started buying music.

All our scripted podcasts are now available on Bandcamp, and they sound much better. The audio quality of a podcast is higher there than on any other online platform. MUCH higher. That’s because podcast platforms use compressed MP3s, while on Bandcamp, everything is CD-quality, high definition lossless audio.

And unlike other online services, Bandcamp pays artists fairly. In a world that seems to be trying to destroy creators, services like Bandcamp means we can keep going.

Also, Bandcamp’s profits DO NOT go into the pockets of mass murderers! What a world, where that’s even a thing.

We’ve always given our monthly supporters free access to our music albums on Bandcamp, but going forward, they’ll also have access to unlimited plays of our podcasts in high definition, so join us over on Ko-fi for that delicious perk.

Mockery Manor season 4 is due out this summer, so please do listen to it for free on any other podcast platform, or for £3.49 on Bandcamp.

See you on the other side!

Hey everyone, Laurence here!

We are deep into the production of Mockery Manor Season 4! 

Recording actors, editing, making songs - all that good stuff.

We're really excited to be back in the Mockery world, and we can't wait to share it with you soon. 

We're also putting little behind the scenes snippets on all our social media as we go along, so do follow us @LongCatMedia on Instagram, Facebook, and Bluesky to see some sneak peeks of the new season.

But before all of that, we would like to bring you the first episode of We Fix Space Junk, from our friends BattleBird Productions.

'We Fix Space Junk' is a sci-fi comedy that follows a seasoned smuggler and a socialite fugitive as they travel the galaxy, dodging bullets and meeting strange and wonderful beings as they carry out odd jobs on the fringes of the law.

If you're into your Firefly, your Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, your Terry Pratchett, you'll be right at home in the world of Space Junk. 

It is a classic UK audio fiction podcast, we have shared it before, and we are delighted to share it again. 

And they have also just begun releasing their long awaited Season 4! They're a few months ahead of us. So if you've listened to Space Junk before, head on back there, there's new episodes landing now! And if you listen hard, you will hear me and Lindsay in the voice cast of Season 4.

But right now, we're going back to the beginning to introduce you to the world of We Fix Space Junk - this is Season 1, Episode 1.
