  • Carry on, Jeeves

    By P.G. Wodehouse, Performed by Iain Wood

    Produced by Wavemaker Cards Audio

    Step into the effortlessly witty world of Bertie Wooster and his incomparable valet, Jeeves, in this sparkling collection of ten classic short stories.

With impeccable timing, subtle manipulation, and unflappable calm, Jeeves untangles each predicament with the finesse only a true gentleman’s gentleman can muster.

    This podcast brings Wodehouse’s sparkling prose to life through the warm, engaging narration of Iain Wood, whose performance captures every ounce of charm, humour, and character nuance.

  • The Man Who Lived is an alternate-history political drama podcast that asks one of the most enduring questions in American history: what if John F. Kennedy survived the assassination attempt in Dallas?


    Set in the turbulent years following nineteen sixty-three, the series imagines a presidency that continues — but under the weight of memory, trauma, and expectation. As JFK remains in the White House, the public still demands progress on civil rights, Vietnam, and the race to the moon, while private cracks form behind closed doors. A marriage strained by survival. A brother forced to weigh loyalty against power. A Democratic Party quietly questioning whether its most famous leader can still govern for the long term.


    Over the course of the season, The Man Who Lived follows a presidency drifting toward an unavoidable reckoning. Victories come easily. Confidence does not. As rivals inside the party sharpen their knives and a new political voice begins to draw strength from Kennedy’s survival, the question shifts from whether he can win again, to whether he should lead at all.


    Each episode moves closer to a moment no one is prepared to name: a choice that could fracture a family, reshape a party, and redefine how history remembers the man who did not die.


    From Caloroga Shark Media, The Man Who Lived premieres President’s Day — available wherever you get your podcasts.
