Need a bit of light summer listening? Here are some excellent fiction podcasts that will help you through those post-exam days.

Victoriocity – for our Steampunk fans. London has swallowed most of southern England, to become the monstrous metropolis known as Even Greater London. Queen Victoria is now a cyborg. And there’s a conspiracy which seems to reach up to the highest levels of society…luckily Inspector Fleet and the journalist Clara Entwhistle are on the case.

The bridge – It’s a different 2016, and a massive Transcontinental bridge has been built to speed travel across the world. Unfortunately several unfortunate incidents have left the Bridge pretty much deserted except for the Watchtowers – peopled by disparate group of people who have all their secrets. Mysteries abound – what is in the lower levels of the Watchtower and what exactly happened to Aqualand?

Mabel – A young woman takes a job looking after an elderly woman in a strange house – a common enough set up for a fascinating story about love, family curses, horror and mystery. Snatches of music hint at strange forces at work. A must-listen for those who love a haunted house.
