INTRO: Hello imaginative people! I’m Anna Tizard and this is episode 85 of Brainstoryum.

I have a bumper show for you today (as I’m recording the introduction last this time). The ExCos turn out even crazier than usual today, so expect some laughs, yet despite this, I find myself setting what might well be called a ludicrous writing prompt challenge, which turns out pretty well, I reckon. So while this will be a slightly longer episode than usual, please do listen on, and join me in this bizarre journey into writing craft – and hopefully a glimpse into a little bitof my slowly building collection...
