Bangor-based podcast, Culture My Arts, secures a Hollywood cameo from Welsh born star of Clint Eastwood’s Invictus & Zack Snyder’s Justice League – Julian Lewis Jones.
Culture My Arts, described as a radio show, audio drama & podcast rolled into one, was made independently by 15 Bangor graduates between lockdowns, and has recently hit #14 in the Apple Podcast UK Comedy Fiction charts.
Although based in Bangor, North Wales, Culture My Arts has a 15-person ensemble cast from a variation of places in Wales and the rest of the UK.
CMA Cast member, Lowri Cêt Jones, from Llangefni, works behind the scenes for BBC Radio Cymru & Theatr Fach. She’s also acted and presented for S4C Comedi, Hansh & BBC Bitesize.
CMA Videographer, Connor Flinn, from Holyhead, is a distinguished filmmaker who has recently directed a documentary with BBC Wales’ ‘It’s My Shout’ scheme.
The launch of Series 1 has seen the podcast amass 1000’s of listeners and have various sketches featured on BBC Merseyside, Sheffield, Stoke, Berkshire, Sussex Three Counties & Cambridge.
Culture My Arts calls itself a fully scripted satirical fiction podcast which spoofs radio shows and takes the mickey out of TV, film, music, literature, current affairs & much more. It’s essentially fake news from another dimension.
Series 1 is comprised of 6 episodes featuring silly movie spoofs, biting political satire, humorous social commentary, crazy music parodies, deadpan surrealism, cheesy jokes, eccentric reporters & bogus news.
You can expect to hear a sketches about extreme animal equality in Anglesey, driving off the cliffs of Portmeirion Village, and, of course, a line from Welsh starlet Julian Lewis Jones where he jokingly insults the podcast!
Alongside the podcast, Culture My Arts also posts videos and sketches on their social media platforms.
This includes a music video for their comedy rap song, ‘Dropped My Kebab’, written about the tragedy of dropping your kebab on a night out. Filmed in multiple locations around Bangor. This song has gone on to receive features on BBC Local Radio also.
Series 2 is already in production for release in 2021 after a successful Patreon campaign which saw Culture My Arts hit their break-even point.
