Charlie is the co-creator and co-host of cult comedy-horror podcast, SeanceCast, which won Silver at the 2021 British Podcast Awards. For Radio 4, she co-wrote two series of Olga Koch’s Audio Drama Award-nominated OK Computer and a stand-up special, Fight, which won Best Radio Comedy at the 2022 Writer’s Guild of Great Britain Awards. As a screenwriter, Charlie was selected for the BBC Comedy Writersroom and her first feature film is currently in development.

 A brand new weekly chat podcast from comedian Olga Koch (Live At The Apollo, QI, Late Night Mash) and comedy writer Charlie Dinkin (SeanceCast, The News Quiz, Have I Got News For You) uncovering the hidden gems of our guests' family histories. From skeletons under the bed to kitchen table lobotomies, you won't find more slanderous gossip and unverified medical advice anywhere else, guaranteed! New episodes every Friday.   | |
 The show sees Charlie and Zoe conducting seances at locations ranging from the mundane (Zoe's high school in Arran) to the constrained (the changing room of a high street fast fashion chain), in order to gather scenes from The Beyond. Brave listeners should expect the unexpected, as these dark and hilarious 15 minute episodes provide glimpses of Super Realistic MILF Hotlines, flash mob proposals 10,000 leagues under the sea, police appeals for more podcast listeners, a never-ending hen do, and much, much more... | |
