Sound Heap with John-Luke Roberts

Ogre And Ogre Again: The ShrekFished

Listen on

Episode notes

A couple of months ago, we released a documentary by investigative Soosty, Soosty Carpripe, about a very brave woman called Emily Curnt, who met what she thought was someone on a dating app, who claimed he was playing Shrek in a touring production of the musical Shrek. But this was a lie: in fact, Emily Curnt was being ShrekFished. 

The reaction to this documentary was so overwhelming - not just from listeners who believed it to be one of the most award-worthy documentaries of recent years, but from other women who had suffered exactly the same fate.

This programme, and its attendant awards submissions, is dedicated to the bravery of these women.

Sound Heap was created and hosted by John-Luke Roberts, and featured Tom Bell, Margaret Cabourn-Smith, Josh Gondelman, Kieran Hodgson, Rosie Holt, Sooz Kempner, Anna Leong Brophy, Emily Lloyd-Saini, Hal Lublin, Sarah Morgan, Eleanor Morton, John Norris, Benjamin Partridge, David Reed, Marjolein Robertson, and Lorna Rose Treen. The original music is by Paddy Gervers and Rob Sell at Torch & Compass, and the show was mixed by Rich Evans at Syncbox Post. It was produced and edited by Ed Morrish for Lead Mojo productions.

Sound Heap is a proud member of the Maximum Fun network.
