The Failing Writers Podcast

Join these success-starved wordwranglers as they stumble towards their shared ambition: to become proper writers!

Learning from guests like bestselling authors and BAFTA-winning writers. Setting themselves writing tasks and trying to improve their craft. Discussing how to get past all the things that stop us writing. And hopefully taking you on a journey with them to become successful writers!

Jon Rand

By day, Jon Rand is a professional Voice Over Artiste. You’ll know his voice from the telly - He’s the bloke who sounds all serious, even potentially quite angry about wanting you to watch Keanu Reeves in Speed, Friday at 9, on Film 4. By night, however, Jon is an avid writer of fiction. The sort of fiction that almost no one will ever want to read. He also likes cycling, playing poker and eating food. Oh and dancing at weddings… but most of his friends are married now, so… you know… he doesn’t get to do that very much.

Dave Baird

Dave used to be Head of Creative at the largest radio station outside of London, but he gave it all up to become a successful multi-millionaire writer. Twenty years on, he's still yet to properly finish anything. Instead he does voiceovers, reading other peoples words for money. But the dream is still there....

Tom Turner

Tom was brought up by wolves in the foothills of the Pennines. This explains a lot.
