At the end of last week, I co-wrote and recorded a voiceover for my friend John’s new magic show that you can see playing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

John wanted a big American movie-style intro to the show, to juxtapose with the low-key opening of the show (for maximum comic effect!) so we wrote a show and recorded it at Resonance FM’s studios.

I should tell you what the show is. It’s called Pifftacular and stars John as Piff The Magic Dragon – a wonderfully grumpy and very magical dragon who likes card magic and kidnapping princesses.

Check out Piff’s site for more info and go and see the show to hear my dulcet tones as a brash American voiceover guy (and enjoy some great magic and princess kidnapping).

Over the past few months I’ve been doing a fair bit of work on Resonance FM, both with my own radio show (entitled Smoke & Mirrors) and as a guest on other shows.

Most recently, Upstart Theatre – the company behind ‘Oh Well Never Mind Bye’  – and I put together a radio show all about the play we’re currently doing which runs until 4th July 2009 at The Union Theatre.

The result is the first episode of The Matthew Duggan Podcast, an occasional podcast hosted by me. In this episode, I chat with writer Steven Lally, director Tom Mansfield and assistant director Laura Casey about the themes of the play, the creative process and the genesis of the play and the events of July 2005.

Here you can listen to the first episode and all the episodes will also be featured on iTunes. Just type in ‘Matthew Duggan’ into the iTunes Store and look under podcasts.
