Winter Spring: An Audio Drama

Alternative Stories and Fake Realities

Welcome to Season 8 of the Alternative Stories and Fake Realites Podcast.
Our new season begins with Winter Spring, an audio drama by Dr Rachel Knightley.
Alice Winter, her brother Ash Winter and cousin Harris Spring are the third generation of a family property company, founded by their German immigrant grandfather who taught them the one thing the world would always need was good landlords. Three generations later, in order to survive, Ash has turned the business into an estate agency: the thing their grandfather hated most. A new tenant, only known as Poppy, moves into the top floor of what she discovers used to be their family home. Alice lives in the other flat with Kit, the imaginary friend she's had since childhood. As stories of future and past fight to be 'true', the story asks are we more than the stories we tell ourselves
