This episode of the Triple B Radio Play Shorts Podcast, hosted by Richard McGrath, Steve Jones & Olivia Hughes, features the first two Acts of an original Radio Play Short entitled Villains Reawakened.

Villains Reawakened follows a washed‑up league of former supervillains now spending their twilight years in a Barossa pub, swapping stories of past glory, lost lairs, and creaky joints. But when a mysterious invitation arrives, these ageing mischief‑makers find their spark reigniting—along with old grudges, flamboyant capes, and catastrophic ambitions. A witty, character‑driven comedy where villainy ages… but refuses to retire.
