  • Summary

  • It’s a podcast. But it’s also an audiobook. No prizes for guessing which book I’ll be reading from. That would be the Gospel According to a Sitcom Writer written and read by me, James Cary. I’m a sitcom writer for the BBC, with a hand in Miranda, Bluestone 42, Thanks A Lot, Milton Jones, Hut 33, My Hero, My Family, Citizen Khan. You get the idea. Half hour comedy is my bag. I’m a sitcom guy.

    But I’m also a Christian, an Anglican, a stand-up theologian and the author of The Sacred Art of Joking, a look at how religion and comedy intersect published by SPCK. You can get that on Amazon, and the audio version on Audible.

    But you can’t get The Gospel According to a Sitcom Writer, a book that also deals with religion and comedy. And is quite funny, if I do say so myself. I own the audio rights to that book, or least, no-one bought them. So why not? Here it is. A new chapter each week, and maybe some other related content over the coming weeks and months and possibly years, stuff that interests me, and that I think will interest you.

  • Raising Lazarus

    Raising Lazarus
    May 20 2024

    Hey! This is the final episode. I'm not keeping it the rest back for cynical reasons. Quite the reverse. This podcast isn't working. People aren't listening. No idea why. As I'm recording it, I'm actually thinking it's quite good and occasionally impressed with what my former self has written. But anyway, turns out people don't want short single-voice audio podcasts. Live and learn. So here's the last episode. It's about one of Jesus's greatest miracles, the raising of Lazarus.

    Some straight talking - okay, a bit of a rant - to screenwriters on how they could better represent Christians on TV. But don't we all feel better now?
