Our first episode of the Triple B Radio Play Shorts Podcast, hosted by Richard McGrath, Steve Jones & Olivia Hughes, features two plays.

The first play, "Fifty Shades of Wrong", is witty little piece that takes place in the evening wear section of a bustling department store, where a simple question—‘What colour is this dress?’—spirals into a hilarious debate.

The second play, "The Great Barossa Taste-off", is a funny, wine-soaked battle of words and wills between two couples who think they know best when it comes to food, flavour, and… well, the bill.

Ep1: "Fifty Shades of Wrong" & "The Great Barossa Taste-off" 

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 Whispers in the Vines.

Whispers in the Vines is a moody, character‑driven audio drama set beneath the vineyards of the Barossa Valley, where old European fears and much older Country collide. When a hidden chamber is unearthed and a wedding ring vanishes into the earth, local winemaker Anna Schulz is drawn into a quiet pact to restore balance—becoming a reluctant Keeper for one season. As voices whisper, vows are tested, and the land itself listens, this intimate supernatural mystery explores memory, responsibility, and what happens when the past refuses to stay buried.
