Novel Idea

Matt and Mollie are writing a Novel... together. Swapping who does the writing each chapter, they are on a quest to create a gripping murder mystery. The only problem? They have two very different visions for the book. Hosted by Matt Edmondson and Mollie King, with ever patient narrator and referee Steffan Powell, each of them have just one week to continue the story which involves reacting, sabotaging, escalating and occasionally rescuing the plot from each other. Steffan keeps order (loosely), reads the chapters aloud, and ensures the plot somehow holds together. What begins as a simple premise quickly becomes a competitive, unpredictable battle of twists, cliffhangers and creative one-upmanship. It’s part comedy show, part audiobook, part social experiment — and by the end of the series, there will be a complete, original novel written in real time. Whether you’re here for the drama, the chaos or the questionable literary decisions, welcome to the story. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
