## Resource

A town planner’s dream turns into a nightmare when he crosses the wrong developers. As Haverfordwest expands under his watch, mobsters, superstition, and civic ambition collide, leading to an architectural disaster that threatens to consume the town itself.  Music: Tyrant Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License If you’d like to support Harford, go to https://bit.ly/harfordpod 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.
