Wood Wide Web

Season 1, Ep. 4

We are proud to present ‘Wood Wide Web’, the fourth episode of GUTS, a new season of audio pilots by Seagull Productions.


Deep under the forest floor, amongst the tangled roots, lies the Wood Wide Web: an underground call centre operated by mushrooms, who work their little socks off to pass messages from tree to tree day and night. But when a glitch in the root network stops a message from getting through, can Walter, the tiniest mushroom of all, become the hero the forest needs? Listen and find out in this original audio adventure for children, written by Conor Dumbrell.
