Jelly Trumpet

What's this? Nigel the resident bongo-playing (giant) red Squrriel is missing.  Only Sherlock Holmes (currently living in a cupboard in the Jelly Trumpet studio) understands why.  More madness foreshadowing the epic final two episodes of Jelly Trumpet season 2.

We extend our 12 questions in 12 minutes with Sacha Mandel, a creator. Sacha is also a Product Development Manager at Grantify.  Sacha originally trained as an actor. His purpose in life is to inspire people to be creative. He knows first-hand how difficult it is to lead a life of creativity. He also has a deep understanding of how to help creatives fundraise for their projects. All in all a very...

Just why do they have a consulting detective in the cupboard under Mr b’s mixing desk? The Quentin Tarantino episode continues with Jim trying a different group of code names, based on fruit. The Queen, bless her, has trained Nigel (the squirrel, the size of a St Bernard dog) to be a ‘sniffer squirrel’, which is going to be ‘tout’ handy.  Stuff We’ll Hear in this Episode: A complaining detective,...

Why is it that Mr b keeps people in cupboards?  In this trailer, we have a taste of what is likely to go wrong in the full episode. The crew are still in the movie world of Quentin Tarantino and that spells danger for Jim, Mr b, Queen Eleanor and the Podcast Authority's re-trainer Miss Bit...

The podcast is in trouble. Nope. Not from the usual things like Japanese Anime characters or Victorian villains, this is far worse. We join the podcast as Mr b is typing his list of favourite Quentin Tarantino movies. Jim is trying very hard to get Jelly Trumpet, the podcast back to…well, being a podcast about creativity. This is just as well as Jelly Trumpet faces being shut down! Why does Tony,...

The podcast is in trouble. Nope. Not from the usual things like Japanese Anime characters or Victorian villains, this is far worse. It all starts with Mr b is typing his list of favourite Quentin Tarantino movies. Will JIm's script make sense and will anyone in the crew pay that script any attention In the full episode: A knock on the podcast door Why Jelly Trumpet should be a ‘proper podcast...

In this bonus episode, I chat with one of my favourite people, Lou Wallace.   I’ve had the pleasure of acting with Lou on stage and being directed by her in the best pieces of physical theatre I’ve been involved with, ‘The Red Shoes.’  Our bonus conversation takes in one of the theatre's greats, Emma Rice. Stay creative good people… Thank you for listening to the Jelly Trumpet Podcast! SUPPOR...

Putting on a podcast is far, far, far from simple. This is especially so when your techie sends the podcast back in time, 19th century England to be exact, to a dark and mysterious house.   The boys do hook up with Sherlock Holmes and a drunk Dr Watson to solve the disappearance of a member of the Japanese royal family. Who is the evil genius behind the abduction? Will Jim and Mr b’s knees survive...

Listen to Jim take stock of the urgent situation the crew is found in an old dark house in the 1800s. A wooden sign creaks in the wind. A shrill scream. Quite an opening for Episode 10. The story takes a dark turn as we discover who is loose in the abandoned Victorian villa. O’ no! There are several plot cliches in the podcast. Still, they are fun, who doesn’t like a cliché or two? O’! You don’t?...

A new member of the crew appears Twang. A magnificent guitarist, now living behind the settee in the podcast studio. Mr b, of course, has another experiment on the go, this time trying to attract sponsorship of the podcast by using ‘a mix of pertinent aromas’. Queen Eleanor is exasperated. She talks about annexing the best parts of St Albans, not sure which bits she means. Golly, I think there are...

A smudge of ideas around our slightly disgruntled crew.  Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine is slightly disgruntled about the inability of Mr b to steer the Jelly Trumpet podcast back to 12th-century France (that's before it was France).  Mr b is disgruntled because of all the mysteries in the world he has not uncovered. We think Jim is disgruntled due to the accusation that he has been drink-writing...

In episode 8, our bonus episode features Peter Freedman of Think Inc. Peter chats about creativity in business, his experiences and how to maintain a creative mind.  During the full episode (well, some of them) we ask our guests a bonus question if they manage to answer 12 questions in 12 minutes. This bonus track is the result of those 12 questions.  Please enjoy and pick up some ideas for your o...

Still, on Treasure Island our gallant crew are trying to outrun ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ and her super sharp axe. What on earth is she doing on Treasure Island? “Gulp!”  Meanwhile, our resident voice-over guy, Tony, appears to have a breakdown. Just who is ‘Sharon’ and more importantly what is ‘Sharon?’ On the way, Nigel takes a tumble and Jim tries his hand at a new language. Could this cause eve...

In this trailer we find that Jim,, Mr b and Queen Eleanor are still, on Treasure Island. Our gallant crew are trying to outrun ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ and her super sharp axe. What on earth is she doing on Treasure Island? “Gulp!”  Just who is that wearing a red riding hood and what will she do with that shiny axe? Will we ever know what Mr b's orange button does? Thank you for listening to...

In which we find Mr b lobbying for his new button, the orange one to be used in the episode. Jim is cagey. Nigel (resident giant squirrel) has discovered a new instrument that might be less annoying than his bongos, let’s hope eh? Sadly, inevitably Jim and Mr b,  land the Jelly Trumpet podcast on a desert island. Could it be the fabled ‘Treasure Island?’ Yes. Yes, it is. The podcast starter motor...

In this episode, another attempt is made to return Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine back to her own century (you’re not holding your breath are you)? Mr b wants to trail a new button, much to Jim’s worry. In fact, the concern could possibly be PPSS, Post Podcast Sadness Syndrome. Mr b and the Queen cajole Jim, ‘The Writer Man’ to attempt another script draft. Both are worried about the consequences of J...

In the trailer we hear a little of the discord caused by Mr b and his love of buttons. The sort of buttons you push and something happens. Only when a button is pushed it causes mayhem.

Also in the full Episode: How Queen Eleanor would change the game...

Stuck in a Japanese anime computer game Danganronpa or easily distracted crew try to survive, recover the podcast starter motor and return to the leafy safety of St Albans. Jim is put to the test with ‘bullets of truth.’ Thank the old gods and the new that cMac (the ultimate gizmo) is present and proving to be worthy of such a silly podcast.

Well, you are not going to believe the consequences for the podcast when Mr b insists on using a Japanese keyboard to run the show. Mr b is a great believer in ‘science’ and thinks mathematics is beautiful. This, always, makes Jim a mite peevish. Jim is also concerned. Just that. Jim is always concerned. This is due to Mr b and his experiments. Mr b is always searching for a new,  more thrilling, ...
