Cornucopia Radio 📻

Creative writers & voice performers in #Sheffield who made #audiodrama #comedy #podcasts & #radioart
Sadly no longer making new productions since June 2024

[Cornucopia Radio 📻 @CornucopiaRadio]

With 'Cornucopia Radio' soon coming to an end after 17 years. I think I'm allowed to indulge in a little nostalgia about all my time making audio & podcasts productions here in #Sheffield It's been a crazy ride.
What are you own memories of us? - Peter Beeston

@Johnloves40k Thanks John. The website will just exist as an archive for all the past productions from now on. Myself? I'm taking a creative break for a while, but I plan on making some new pieces next year for a few different art festivals. - Peter B

@robinrvw Don't worry Robin, I've done an awful lot with it over the past two decades, with 100's of other people involved. Nothing lasts forever though. Hope you're doing well at the moment as well.

Our #internetradio station closes down for good this weekend, and I want to thank all the #spokenword #poetry #comedy #soundart and #audiofiction creators that have allowed me to rebroadcast all their amazing productions over the last 17 years: https://t.co/3uLNt724Sk

The website itself will remain online for years to come though (as an archive) and you'll still be able to play back all the self produced work we created ourselves.

I still work as a commercial editor/producer/director (it’s just ‘Cornucopia Radio’ that’s ending; not myself, lol) So I’m still available if you contact me with paid work.

Thanks for lending me your ears for all these years

@timandhisvoices Thanks Tim, it was brilliant having you invovled; your amazing performanes brought the stories to life!

[Cornucopia Radio 📻 @CornucopiaRadio]

@Scouse_Gareth Thanks Gareth, your stuff was amazing and it was a pleasure to produce it!

[Cornucopia Radio 📻 @CornucopiaRadio]

@ThomasCove Thanks Tom. You're the best 'Handsome Booger' that has ever existed!!

[Peter Richard Adams @TweeterRAdams]

Back in 2017 Tom at The Wireless Show passed a copy of a script I’d written to Peter Beeston at @CornucopiaRadio - 5 years later he’d single-handedly produced 22 episodes of @PodToPluto and a whole library of supporting material, sending my comedy writing life into overdrive 1/2

[Cornucopia Radio 📻 @CornucopiaRadio]

The final @CornucopiaRadio production is a personal story about trying to rediscover your creativity & motivation (which I've struggled with myself these last few years) Sometimes you just need to hear somebody tell you that what you make is important. https://t.co/sZg6ez5sPH

I hope that if you're also feeling these same emotions; then you might get sometimes out of listening to this final production yourself. Also tell me how you also deal with these same feelings...

@CalowAndrew Thanks Andrew, helping to get your work performed and putting it out there; are the reasons I do all of this. You're brilliant!

@CornucopiaRadio Very sorry to hear of the end. Many thanks for hours of entertainment and the chance to meet some great local actors performing my sketches. Loved the chance to appear in Cornwallis Insurance.
Happy memories of Henry Stevenson - the H&S Inspector.
Thank you.

[Cornucopia Radio 📻 @CornucopiaRadio]

@DavidAult Yes, that's a great bit. You're the best Marxist puppeteer I think there has ever been (it's a small list I know, lol) Thanks so much for all your help and pieces you've created with me over the years 😃👍

[David Ault @DavidAult]

@CornucopiaRadio Coming to an end? Surely not.

I've had an amazing time, not least for this incredible piece of art...

@SFR_OC I thought we agreed to never talk about that again, I still haven't fully recovered, lol.

[Cornucopia Radio 📻 @CornucopiaRadio]

@wiloma All the previous productions will remain online, but yes I'm afraid there won't be anything new after this, as I ride off into the sunset...

[Cornucopia Radio 📻 @CornucopiaRadio]

Thanks to @HannahLloyd___ for voicing the main character in our very final production “The Gilded Imagination”. Hannah has voiced many of our projects over the last 5 years & is always open to different ideas. Find out how to hire Hannah yourself at: https://t.co/25C3l8LBCQ

@TarkaTheOrator Thanks Andrew, it's wonderful to have you involved in this final bit of crazy audio from me.

[Cornucopia Radio 📻 @CornucopiaRadio]

@fthrll Thanks Fiona, hopefully we're going out with a bang 🔥

[Cornucopia Radio 📻 @CornucopiaRadio]

Our new #audiodrama is online today! Journey into your own imagination; as the headphones you listen to this on will make a physical connection to your limbic system & our visualization therapist will help you imagine a story you’ve always wanted to tell. https://t.co/sZg6ez5sPH

This is a very special production as it’s going to be the very final production to ever appear on the Cornucopia Radio website. Starring amazing Cornucopia regular performers: @HannahLloyd___ @HousebrokenGeek and @TarkaTheOrator

‘The Gilded Imagination’ is the final production to be produced by Peter Beeston and @CornucopiaRadio before he moves onto other projects. However all the work created over the past 17 years will remain available to listen to via our website and the different podcast feeds, and nothing will be removed in the future.

This brand new production (which mixes audio #asmr #roleplay and action #soundscape) is a personal journey that is meant to be a conclusion for ‘Cornucopia Radio’. It’s all about the mindset of a person (who might actually be Peter Beeston) who creates stories like this. Suggesting that all these productions might come from another reality beyond ours...
