## Resource

THE PORTAL: A wannabe estate agent is tasked with selling an unsellable property. They succeed, but in Haverfordwest, every deal comes with strings attached, and the devil really is in the detail. Music: Desert Wind by Tellsonic Harford: An Oral History is a monthly surreal comedy podcast uncovering the strange and forgotten history of Haverfordwest. In each episode, a town inhabitant recounts their role in a key moment of its past—from a disastrous attempt to build the world’s tallest building to a battle reenactment that spiraled into real conflict. Written, produced and performed by Dan Hooper Winner: Golden Lobes — Best Scripted Comedy. The Observer said “These punchy 10- to 14-minuters crackle with bible-black, absurd, twisted humour.”and The Guardian described the show “Strange little monologues brimming with dry wit and unlikely twists.” Support the show: https://ko-fi.com/harford Written, produced & performed by Dan Hooper.
