The Beat Droid is the lead character in a podcast/radio play of the same name.
The play was first presented on 15th December 2009 at a meeting of the WINOS writers' group [which was to change its name later to Writers-upon-Thames]. The story follows the adventures of The Beat Droid who is an android DJ in a society where music is banned. He and his friends must put on music events in order to survive but also have to remain one step ahead of the authorities. ...until such time as things get better, or worse... The Beat Droid was conceived of and written by Jack Calverley, one of two science fiction writers in the WINOS group, and was also part of a portfolio of work submitted at the same time to the University of British Columbia. | The Beat Droid is also the eponimous title of an upcoming graphic novel based on the podcast/radio play. Work is already underway and The Beat Droid's mixes should be appearing in full colour very soon... |
