Super Talented

I’m a U.K. horror and magical realism author and love dark shows, especially those with a comedic twist. I’m always amazed at Terry’s production quality. Creepy, macabre, and beyond hilarious. What a wit! I discovered Terry Carnation through Radio Rentals. Loving this show so far. Amazing content (as usual) from this super talented audio drama host. Terry, I really appreciate your hard work. Don’t stop! Huge fan. Cheers, D. J. Swales

Comedy gold = a must listen

I was obsessed with GTA in the early noughts. To the annoyance of my then boyfriend, all I did was park my car and listen to the radio. My favourite was the talk shows and spoof ads. Dark Air fills the void and sort of evolves the GTA genre for me.

The DA ads are part of the genius of this show. And no, there aren’t too many. At first I thought the ads were GTA-style spoofs (I live in 🇬🇧 so hadn’t heard of MeUndies etc), but when I realised they’re real I enjoyed them even more so. They are deftly intertwined. I’d buy MeUndies if they were sold in 🇬🇧.

Back to the show ; it’s enjoyable and clever on so many levels (I liked the Samuel Becket reference) and all the characters are funny. The dude calling in about his neighbour’s microwave is my favourite. I’m addicted to this show; more please! And one last note. The merch: it’s sorta predictably dull - something other than tee shirts and mugs might be good?
