BBC Radio 4 - Fed or Dead

Late-night comedy on BBC Radio 4 - the next evolution in zombie fiction.

Delivering food during a pandemic turned ordinary people into saviours, then a zombie apocalypse dropped. Not all heroes wear capes - but most of them carry puncture repair kits.

Kyle Morris and his team of cyclists were already busy during the Covid pandemic, delivering takeaway food to houses throughout Cardiff – and then a Zombie apocalypse landed as well.  

The job got tougher, there was quite a turnover of delivery personnel, and the phrase, “Your meal will be free if delivered after 30 minutes”, became a thing of the past. 

Join Kyle and his latest team – Sian, Tahir, Spoiler and Gwyn – as they pedal their way across the Welsh capital, dispensing food to the living, and creative violence to the dead.  Along the way, you’ll meet some of the ordinary folk, doing their best to survive in a world that’s gone to hell - PC Keith Pugh of Rot Squad, Jackie Morris (the Ely wolverine) and Bampy Joe, Splott’s oldest zombie. 

Despite all the dangers, there’s enough fun to be had among the living and the dead - and just confirms the words of that old rock song, Hell Ain’t a Bad Place to Be.
