About Me:

Hello,

My name is Andrew Shanahan and I'm a writer and creator of strange and occasionally wondrous things. What sort of things, well, speeches, journalism, comedy, satcoms, murder mystery plays, viral adverts, sitcoms, blogs, websites and things too wondrous to parse. If parse is the word I mean. 

Moving Audio is a production project I'm running which is looking at using new and emerging technologies in wildly different ways. The series is exemplified by the Moving Comedies, six "episodes" of comedy which are all looking at presenting funny things in unique and unusual ways.

The first Moving Comedy was 230 Miles of Love, a sketch-show about and based on the M6 Motorway. It was the world's first satcom, which is a comedy that is broadcast via sat-nav technology. Using this technology meant that location-specific sketches could be broadcast at salient points along the M6 such as a sketch which ended differently depending on whether you took the Toll Road or not. 20,000 people have downloaded it so far and it's been praised by people from This Morning's Philip Schofield and Fern Britten (Britain? Brittain?) to The Guardian and it's still raising money and profile for the charity Motivation. 

The Moving Comedy series culminates in a SETIcom, a comedy being broadcast towards the habitable regions of space in an effort to contact extra-terrestrial life.

Moving Audio is also producing a range of locative media projects variously involving zombie dogs, fog and truth. 

Get in touch, say hi.

Cheers,

Shan.
