Hey there Earthlings, Alternatives and Trollers. Put down that mouse and lend an ear. Welcome to The Bandersnatch blog where we talk weird, wacky and wondrous. I'm The Bandersnatch and I have no idea what I'm doing.

Random blog day boo yah. As you should know Fridays is random blog day were we talk anything and everything and pretty much run with it. Today's blog is on The BBC Sounds/Podcast The Battersea Poltergeist.

The Battersea Poltergeist is a horror podcast and audio drama produced by BBC Radio 4, having been written and produced by Danny Robins. The Battersea Poltergeist follows the story of Shirly Hitchings and her family as they deal with a supposed Poltergeist with the help of paranormal investigator Harold Chibbertt also known as Chib. The show was nominated for a British Podcast Award, Audio and Radio Industry Award, and a New York Festivals Radio Award. The Podcast has also been adapted twice into two TV series.

I came across The Battersea Podcast after stumbling across Uncanny and as such fell down the Danny Robins rabbit hole. I ended up listening to The Battersea Poltergeist 3-4 times due in part to falling asleep whilst listening like I have done with the Uncanny Podcast. As such I highly recommend you gibe the podcast a listen especially if you have a keen interest in the paranormal and I give the podcast a 9/10.

Danny Robins, Born in Newcastle upon Tyne, September 1976, is an English comedy writer, Performer, broadcaster and journalist who started his career at Bristol university ad part of the trio act “Club Seals” alongside Marcus Brigstocke and Dan Tetsell. “Club Seal” was a spoof archaeology programme of the TV show We are History (BBC2 2000) which was followed by a BBC Radio 4 adaption of their Edinburgh comedy fringe festival show The Museum of Everything. Robins would go onto write other shows for Radio 4 alongside several Children's comedy TV shows for CBBC.

Robins' interest in the supernatural has led him to research and write several Radio Series and Podcasts on the subject including the podcast Haunted for Panoply in 2017 and for BBC Radio 4 and BBC sounds he wrote and presented The Battersea Poltergeist 2021, followed by Uncanny later that year with The Witch Farm following in 2022. Robins also wrote the play 2:22 A Ghost Story which has starred Lily Allen and won Best Play at the 2022 WhatsOnStage Awards.
