Season 4 of The Dale Hurst Writing Show to launch in August

6 August 2024 No Comments

We can’t stop podcasting… The Dale Hurst Writing Show returns with Season 4 later this month.

Black tile with white text reading "The Dale Hurst Writing Show Season 4 launching 15 August 2024"2024 has already been a busy year for The Dale Hurst Writing Show. We took the podcast to Bournemouth Writing Festival earlier in the year to produce a series of special mini-episodes, and now, we’re bringing it back for a full season. Season 4, to be precise. This post offers an idea, for newcomers and repeat visitors alike, of what to expect. Or you can visit Spotify and listen to the trailer.

I’ve not listened to The Dale Hurst Writing Show before. What can I expect?

As it’s Season 4, the podcast has a well-ironed format, with episodes comprising both discussion about a different topic each edition and interview with the special guests. The guests themselves vary, but the vast majority are writers of some kind, all at differing stages of their careers. The Dale Hurst Writing Show commits itself to exploring the writing and storytelling craft across all mediums, so the podcast isn’t limited to writers of prose. Poets, screenwriters, playwrights, filmmakers and more have featured in episodes since the show’s inception in 2021.

Episodes in the upcoming fourth season explore a wide breadth of subjects, in our usual style ranging from the basics to the nitty-gritty. Some of the topics include writing adventure stories, mapping fantasy realms, how we can put a fresh spin on science fiction, and self-publishing poetry.

In addition to the guests’ insights into their respective topics, the writers also tell listeners about the characters, scenes and dialogue they love to write. We also learn who their inspirations and influences are as writers, and what traps aspiring creatives should avoid.

Which guests feature in Season 4?

Like previous guests, we’ve enjoyed meeting and chatting with a plethora of creatives across the craft. And not only in our home of the UK. Season 4 will feature the likes of adventure novelist L.S. Goozdich, and poets Karishma Natu and Ben Whittall, as well as authors Lee Dawson, D.C. Eastman and Oscar Mendoza. We also enjoyed chatting with Asad Moghal, the writer behind the Amazon Prime series Patterns, and screenwriter-director Andrea M Catinella.

Where do we listen?

Season 4 of The Dale Hurst Writing Show launches on Thursday 15 August 2024, and new episodes will follow every two weeks, ending with a Christmas special mid-December. You can listen on Spotify and Amazon Music, as well as catch up with all our previous episodes.

Bournemouth Writing Festival 2024: The Dale Hurst Writing Show comes to you

11 April 2024 No Comments

Some new developments on the podcast front… we’re going to Bournemouth Writing Festival 2024!

Black tile with text reading "The Dale Hurst Writing Show comes to Bournemouth Writing Festival"I know there hasn’t been much news from me lately, and I won’t go into why at the moment. I’ve got something much more important to reveal. Last year, I entered into talks to get my podcast, The Dale Hurst Writing Show, involved in Bournemouth Writing Festival 2024, somehow. Now, I’m able to reveal I’ll be at the event in the flesh, conducting interviews with industry pros and experts for a special mini-series of episodes.

In addition, two volunteers are joining me to bring the podcast to the masses attending the festival. Hoping to find out about the writers of Bournemouth, surrounding areas, and beyond, in terms of why they write and what they write. Plus my usual questions: favourite characters, scenes and dialogue, influences and inspirations, and their advice for aspiring writers.

As I would with a full series of the podcast, I’ll interview experts from a variety of fields within the writing craft. Authors of prose (fiction and non-), as well as poets and screenwriters. I won’t ruin the surprise by revealing the full line-up just yet.

However, if you’re going to the festival this year — 26–28 April — I really hope you’ll stop by and chat with one of us. Even get your voice on the show.

Bournemouth Writing Festival will be taking place from Friday 26 until Sunday 28 April, with The Dale Hurst Writing Show in attendance on each day. The Dale Hurst Writing Show is a writing, publishing and storytelling podcast. Catch up with all three seasons on Spotify, Google Podcasts and Amazon Music. Also, like my Facebook page and Follow me on Instagram to stay up to date with my latest news.
