STARBURST is pleased to announce that our very own book podcast BRAVE NEW WORDS has been nominated for an award at the British Fantasy Awards.

The Best Audio category also includes Anansi Boys (by Neil Gaiman, adapted by Dirk Maggs for Radio 4), Breaking the Glass Slipper podcast (Lucy Hounsom, Charlotte Bond and Megan Leigh), Ivory Towers (by Richard H Brooks, directed by Karim Kronfli for 11th Hour Audio Productions), PseudoPod podcast (Alasdair Stuart and Escape Artists) and Tea & Jeopardy podcast (Emma and Peter Newman), Brave New Words is in good company but also some stiff competition.
