Putting on a podcast is far, far, far from simple. This is especially so when your techie sends the podcast back in time, 19th century England to be exact, to a dark and mysterious house.
The boys do hook up with Sherlock Holmes and a drunk Dr Watson to solve the disappearance of a member of the Japanese royal family. Who is the evil genius behind the abduction? Will Jim and Mr b’s knees survive the stairs? Does Queen Eleanor manage to keep the boys alive?
Interview Countdown – 12 Questions in 12 Minutes
In this episode, our talented guest is Lou Wallace, a drama teacher and so much more. I’ve worked with Lou in the theatre. Lou is a talented performer and director. Such a joy to be her ‘stage husband’ and be a small cog in her production of ‘The Red Shoes’, perhaps my favourite theatre experience, a talented company, behind the stage and on stage.

Listen to Jim take stock of the urgent situation the crew is found in an old dark house in the 1800s.
A wooden sign creaks in the wind. A shrill scream. Quite an opening for Episode 10.
The story takes a dark turn as we discover who is loose in the abandoned Victorian villa.
O’ no! There are several plot cliches in the podcast. Still, they are fun, who doesn’t like a cliché or two? O’! You don’t? OK. Give it a go, you are going to be surprised at how well this episode works.
The podcast is coming undone. Even with the help of the great Sherlock Holmes and the incapable (really) Dr Watson, Jim, Mr b and the Queen face a great evil.
Who is the evil genius behind the kidnapping of Princess Yamaha? Will the phrase 'Bank Holiday Monday' save them from a messy demise?

A new member of the crew appears Twang. A magnificent guitarist, now living behind the settee in the podcast studio.
Mr b, of course, has another experiment on the go, this time trying to attract sponsorship of the podcast by using ‘a mix of pertinent aromas’.
Queen Eleanor is exasperated. She talks about annexing the best parts of St Albans, not sure which bits she means.
Golly, I think there are ‘dark things’ on the Jelly Trumpet horizon. O’ and why do the boys keep talking about Yamaha? Could this be a lame attempt at gaining some freebies?
Stuff We’ll Hear in this Episode:
- A distant scream
- Just how silent is cMac (the ultimate gizmo) in silent mode?
- The identity of the man in the wheelbarrow
- A new character, you’ll recognise him though

A smudge of ideas around our slightly disgruntled crew.
Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine is slightly disgruntled about the inability of Mr b to steer the Jelly Trumpet podcast back to 12th-century France (that's before it was France).
Mr b is disgruntled because of all the mysteries in the world he has not uncovered.
We think Jim is disgruntled due to the accusation that he has been drink-writing.

Still, on Treasure Island our gallant crew are trying to outrun ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ and her super sharp axe. What on earth is she doing on Treasure Island? “Gulp!”
Meanwhile, our resident voice-over guy, Tony, appears to have a breakdown. Just who is ‘Sharon’ and more importantly what is ‘Sharon?’
On the way, Nigel takes a tumble and Jim tries his hand at a new language. Could this cause even further danger? Which other cliches will the crew uncover on their journey to the center of the island?
The podcast starter motor loses a spring on landing. How will they manage to return to ‘sunny St Albans?’
Wait! This may be Treasure Island but for some weird reason (must be the writer) the characters inhabiting the island, don’t quite…well, make sense.
Dive in for silly, surreal and odd interludes, o’ and some great music from the house band ‘We Paint Houses.’

In which we find Mr b lobbying for his new button, the orange one to be used in the episode. Jim is cagey.
Nigel (resident giant squirrel) has discovered a new instrument that might be less annoying than his bongos, let’s hope eh?
Sadly, inevitably Jim and Mr b, land the Jelly Trumpet podcast on a desert island. Could it be the fabled ‘Treasure Island?’ Yes. Yes, it is.
The podcast starter motor loses a spring on landing. How will they manage to return to ‘sunny St Albans?’

The madness, that's what you think, isn't it? Continues...
The podcast crash lands on Treasure Island...
We meet a rather annoyed Little Red Riding Hood and...
A lobster called Louis.
In the full episode:
We find Mr b lobbying for his new button, the orange one to be used in the episode. Jim is cagey.
Nigel (resident giant squirrel) has discovered a new instrument that might be less annoying than his bongos, let’s hope eh?
Sadly, inevitably, Jim and Mr b, lands the Jelly Trumpet podcast on a desert island. Could it be the fabled ‘Treasure Island?’ Yes. Yes it is...

In this episode, another attempt is made to return Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine back to her own century (you’re not holding your breath are you)?
Mr b wants to trail a new button, much to Jim’s worry. In fact, the concern could possibly be PPSS, Post Podcast Sadness Syndrome.
Mr b and the Queen cajole Jim, ‘The Writer Man’ to attempt another script draft. Both are worried about the consequences of Jim’s lacklustre writing.
Sadly, Jim attempts to write Cate Blanchett (‘there’s a lot to love’) into the podcast. Meanwhile, Mr b swears that NOTHING can go wrong with his new button…” hmmm!”
Stuff We’ll Hear in this Episode:
- How Queen Eleanor would change the game of cricket
- Jim and Mr b disagree about the colour orange
- A single joke about time travellers
- What Jim has loaded into the gun that shoots Tony ‘the voice-over guy'
Plus our Micro Sitcom, with 'Mary the Entrepreneur' takes place at an 'Eating for Business' seminar, in which Kale features "Seek Kale!"

In the trailer we hear a little of the discord caused by Mr b and his love of buttons. The sort of buttons you push and something happens.
Only when a button is pushed it causes mayhem.

Stuck in a Japanese anime computer game Danganronpa or easily distracted crew try to survive, recover the podcast starter motor and return to the leafy safety of St Albans.
Jim is put to the test with ‘bullets of truth.’ Thank the old gods and the new that cMac (the ultimate gizmo) is present and proving to be worthy of such a silly podcast.
The whole episode would appear to hinge on the use of bagels, an unusual plot development, and rare to see outside New York.
A vengeful Monokuma, a stuffed robotic bear, goes after our heroes. O’ a quote from this rather evil beast; ‘Every human has regrets, has things they’d like to go back and change. But I don’t! ’cause I’m a bear.’
Will they survive?
Of course, silly. This is a series. BUT will they get back to St Albans…unscathed?
Stuff We’ll Hear in this Episode:
- If the crew manage to avoid multiple mini-Monokumas with laser weapons
- Where the starter motor for the podcast has been taken
- Interview Countdown with David Baldwin, Baldwin&
- Mary, ‘The Entrepreneur’ explains her latest product range, for babies, Part II

Well, you are not going to believe the consequences for the podcast when Mr b insists on using a Japanese keyboard to run the show.
Mr b is a great believer in ‘science’ and thinks mathematics is beautiful. This, always, makes Jim a mite peevish.
Jim is also concerned. Just that. Jim is always concerned. This is due to Mr b and his experiments. Mr b is always searching for a new, more thrilling, button.
Stuff We’ll Hear in this Episode:
- How Queen Eleanor manages to have a fanfare wherever she visits?
- The crew taking on the dangers of Danganronpa, a Japanese computer game
- Why the Queen likes to ride Nigel, the St Bernard dog sized squirrel
- The Challenge at Home for you to try

Here we are at episode 6 and it’s the last in Season 1 of our attempts to promote creativity for all and to make you in particular the most creative you can possibly be dear reader.
Reincorporation looks easy at first understanding. What does it mean to you? It’s the familiar, the familiar reworded by referring as to what went before. We like it because we recognise that the creator of the work knows what they are doing.
In your field what can you use more than once? Have you listened to the audience? What do they like? It’s where character traits lead to catchphrases and something even more important, anticipation.
When you watch a comedy and a situation crops up and you know the character and how they are going to react, then that’s anticipation, which comes from (character writing first) reincorporation.
Do subscribe to Jelly Trumpet for future ways of expanding your imagination. O’ and leave as a thrilling review, well, if you think Jelly Trumpet is of merit…
This is my favourite episode so far because I can look back and reuse ideas that went before.
Time for episode 5. Another episode full of ideas for making yourself more creative and having some laughs along the way.
It’s not easy is it? Or is it easy for you? Being as creative as you can be requires effort, continually working at your craft. That includes ‘reverse engineering’. For example, copying out word for word your favourite book, sitcom or movie.
You see you can watch, you can listen and you can read but as a writer you want to know how the drama or comedy came about. You only learn that from copying and seeing how the writer spent his or her words.
Who is your favourite? The person or persons you admire, the ones that inspire, find them copy the best bits and you are going to learn a lot very quickly.
Do subscribe to Jelly Trumpet for future ways of expanding your imagination. O’ and leave as a thrilling review, well, if you think Jelly Trumpet is of merit…
Why is it the 8-bit edition? You’ll have to listen to the episode to find out.
Welcome to episode 4. This episode comes live from the castle keep atop the Howard Centre in Welwyn Garden City.
If you want to make the most of your creativity then you have to work for it. I’m not one for processes that go from A – Z because my mind doesn’t work like that. I suspect yours doesn’t either.
Like me, your mind goes from Z to the beauty of a leaf in a puddle to C then D, E, a story written, a picture made, the end of the Holy Roman Empire (that might just be me), to F, G, H and more…think of visiting all the planets and stars in the universe. I do.
Stuff We’ll Hear in this Episode:
- I disappear from Google Maps and wonder where I really am?
- I experience Linkedin overload
- The power of mime and how to use it on radio
- Writing letters, remember?
In the show I talk about stuff I’ve done. In this episode I talk about taking a holiday from writing plays and writing short stories. Just to see how easy it was I published this short story (containing three story threads) on Amazon Kindle.
You Are Your Own Medicine
‘You are Your Own Medicine’ is all about recording your creative moments, stuff that works and what doesn’t, it’s you making the difference by being your own coach / medicine.
We touch on a very broad part of creativity, preparation and incubation. Then we’ll go into mapping, creating a structure to hang your work on, like a skeleton.
For me, who writes characters I see it as a map of a world, which is fenced in. I then ‘release’ my characters and they run around. The best and the most annoying part of that is if you get that write they don’t do what you expect. Bastards.
In short, in this episode:

- An award ceremony for award ceremonies.
- 3 fabulous tweets from the Swansea branch of Waterstones
And I share stuff I’ve done as a creative writer. This episode I talk about my first stage play and about the regret of working with a friend.
You Are Your Own Medicine
‘You are Your Own Medicine’ is all about keeping a journal. The journal becomes your coach. You record what works for you and what doesn’t. Only you can make yourself as creative as a doughnut and pretty as a Victoria Sponge.
In this interlude I cover the power of the humble index card and the pleasure of using a scale on each journal entry.
How to be creative is all down to you. Finding your own time and space, the tools that make you creative AND productive, plus finding ideas you wouldn’t have got to without ‘being your own medicine.’

Welcome to the very first episode of Jelly Trumpet, the podcast for creatives; tricks, tip and ideas to expand your imagination. Jelly Trumpet is a fun and not too serious podcast which goes way, way beyond the simplistic ‘How to be Creative’ blog post loved by many tired content writers.
Dive in for silly, surreal and odd interludes, o’ and some great music from the house band ‘We Paint Houses.’
Stuff We’ll Hear in this Episode:
- The famous glacier in Watford
- Why we need a fourth traffic light
- What if the United States of America finally invaded the United Kingdom?
- We meet Arthur-Maurice ‘Butcher to the Stars’ (giving the lowdown on Rita Ora)
And I share stuff I’ve done as a creative writer in ‘Stuff I’ve Done’ interlude.
You Are Your Own Medicine
We’ll be tackling the core of this season’s help for creative types and that is ‘You are Your Own Medicine’. We’ll be encouraging you to take the ‘Challenge at Home’ and we have a guest spot in each episode that enquires of each person what makes them tick, where their ideas come from and their one magic tip that makes them the creative person they are.
All this and utter daftness, where, I, yes Jim gets challenged live on air with a creative exercise (spoiler, I may cheat depending on the amount of coffee in my system), we look at a hot topic to do with creativity and we have a ‘List of the Week’ everyone loves lists eh?
In short, in this episode:
01:54 You Are Your Own Medicine
04:53 Challenge at Home, Wildmind
08:33 Creative Hero Time, Michael Bentine
11:31 Guest Spot, with Mr b from ‘We Paint Houses’

36:36 Ends
Guest Spot – Mr b of ‘We Paint Houses’
Well, this is a pilot and Mr b was around so I thought I’d interview him. Why? He’s highly creative and has a rather unique way of working on his music projects.
We hope you love it and leave a review or follow us on social media.
If you don't like it then please keep schtum eh?
In the third episode the show delves into the value of time discipline. Sounds a mite dull? Well you’re wrong. You could call it a ‘secret to being creative’ but that would be ‘clickbait’ and that makes me grit my teeth and wish to pour warm marmalade up the writer’s nose (yes, they would have to be held upside down first).
Creativity and being creative shouldn’t be taken too seriously. Did you know that 94% of comedians are 87% cleverer than fish? Yes. A lot of stuff doesn’t make sense online but Jelly Trumpet does. Why? Years of experience and a willingness to be silly every moment and for every breath on this planet.
Stuff We’ll Hear in this Episode:
- How the literal world means you could be drinking a Scotch Egg
- Nigel, the drummer performs his first solo
- We meet Henk van Mann, Professor of Liquid Creativity
- We talk Jungian archetypes, well a little bit
And I share stuff. In this episode I experience darkness and how to avoid the pits, wells, and puddles of despair that comes from creative intent.
You Are Your Own Medicine
‘You are Your Own Medicine’ is all about keeping a journal. The journal becomes your coach.
We’re all about the use of your time for the best in this episode. If you write and you find it difficult to start then pay attention to ‘setting a time to write’. This is hardcore. I suspect not many will be able to do it. But from my experience it works if you are persistent. I am also sure it works for any creative discipline. You just have to put in the graft.
In short, in this episode:
