rethinkdaily is a place for writers, actors and musicians to produce new work for radio.
In our first season in Oct/Nov 2007, there was new drama with Numbers, twenty-something traveller speaking his mind in Germany Calling and sick, slick and very wrong musings of The Trailing Edge.
The second season began in Autumn 2009, and bagged us a Sony Radio Academy Award Nomination for best Internet Programme: "This enterprising team have shown that its possible to make audio drama on a small budget that really connects with the listener. An impressively collaborative production that could only work on the web" they said. Which is nice.

The Trailing Edge
The Trailing Edge are a super modified streamlined and superlative device that produces comedy in a hyper specialised and sub-post-pre-modern extravaganza of exciting and revitalising artistic expression. To prepare their material they first hold a workshop to focus on the overriding themes, plot and direction of their project. Then they all go away and write some draft scenes. They then bring the material together and brainstorm it like an epileptic on helium.You can hear some of their award-nominated work here.
