His ventures for audible include four atmospheric stories set in the ‘ Alien Universe’ and an The X-Files adventure that reunited Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny in a brand-new adventure. In recent years, they have been creating their own content, including ever more ambitious full-cast dramas, some of which venture in the realms of science fiction, fantasy, and comics.īehind many of these is, Dirk Maggs, the writer and producer responsible for ground-breaking Batman and Superman radio-dramas at the BBC.
