Tim and Ben Meredith are the creators of Stellar Firma, the multi-award winning cult Scifi show. Now they and the cast of Stellar Firma return to podcasting with G.O.B.L.I.N.S, a shambolic semi-improvised show, full of folkloric beings, bureaucracy and some very special guest stars.
Elizabeth, assistant junior of planning at Worthing County Council, is on her final chance. She’s thrown a crumble at a colleague, sent sensitive documents to reply all, and the less said about the company sport’s day, the better. The only thing that can save her from a demotion to municipal highways and dog-fouling is to ace her boss’s bete noir, the Cissbury Ring Bypass. Strange things have been going on at the ancient site, and Elizabeth is just the kind of go-getter to go get it done.
Tripe and Hooper are also having trouble with the Cissbury Ring Bypass. Mostly, because they’re goblins who don’t know what a bypass even is. And because recent cuts mean they’re sharing an office with Elisar Crowshackle, the realm’s least useful and most self-absorbed Elven princeling. But they work for the Fae Realm Council, and it’s their job to deal with loric individuals who are having problems with the human world, so they’ll do their best to scare the humans off.
When Elizabeth accidentally activates a portal between her world and the Fae Realm she finds herself forced to hide out in the G.O.B.L.I.N.S. office, and realises she’s spent her life haunted by Nyx the poltergeist, a being with an illustrious record of tormenting humans and a way with cats. She’s got to stay hidden for eight weeks, waiting for a chance to get back to the real world and in the meantime, impose some proper protocols and best practise on this sloppy bunch of fairytale beings.
