Description

Harford: An Oral History is a surreal comedy podcast uncovering the strange and forgotten history of Haverfordwest, Wales - known locally as Harford. Each episode is a monologue from a different town inhabitant, recounting a moment from Harford's past: a disastrous bid to build the world's tallest building, a battle reenactment that spirals into a Cold War-era dictatorship, and more. Written, produced and performed by Dan Hooper (BBC Radio 4's The News Quiz, The Now Show).

Winner, Golden Lobes Best Scripted Comedy 2025. The Observer: "punchy 10- to 14-minuters" that "crackle with bible-black, absurd, twisted humour." The Guardian: "strange little monologues brimming with dry wit and unlikely twists."
