The Goodwin Sands Radiogram is a feature documentary podcast series which is conceptually designed to sound like it is broadcast from a pirate station aboard a wrecked light vessel on the Goodwin Sands sandbank in the English Channel. Using radio static and the received pronunciation of The Announcer, the series plays with 'old-time' radio tropes as the listener is 'tuned through' a series of interviews with people in the area of south east Kent, the broadcast range of the beached vessel.

This episode from 2016 investigates the strange experiences of its four contributors, all carefully interwoven with the affective use of sound and music to communicate an involving experience. Conceived, written and produced by Ben Horner, with Peter Kelly playing The Announcer. This episode won the Kent Creative Award in 2017 for best audiovisual entry.
