Samantha Swanborough Yogi / Drama Teacher / Theatre Director all in one space (for the moment)
Hello world! My Name is Samantha or Sammy. I am a mother to two twenty somethings, a wife of almost thirty years and a cat lover. I recently became redundant as a Head of Drama due to my school closing. I am taking the opportunity to share my interests and beliefs with the world. I am a 500 hour yoga teacher of various disciplines, I am a qualified British Canoeing paddle sport instructor/leader. I teach yoga on a paddle board when I can. I have been a Drama teacher for thirty years and currently run a small online theatre school and theatre company. Welcome to my channel where everything will meet like the Nile delta until I amass a community to enable me to run separate channels. Bi-weekly new themes and topics will appear and I am grateful for you stopping by!

The Squeeze Play.. I Was A Spy For The FBI (Better Red Than Fed)
Step back into the golden age of radio with The FBI – Better Red Than Fed, a fast-paced comedy that lovingly spoofs the over-the-top anti-communist thrillers of the 1950s.
Follow undercover FBI informant Max Ivanov as he infiltrates a wildly incompetent Communist cell led by the icy Tony, the relentlessly bureaucratic Comrade Eve, and the explosive Stevie. When a city official is blackmailed over her secret love of jazz, Swiss cheese, and fondue, Max races against time to stop an absurd plot that could threaten America's priceless tactical marshmallow reserve!
Packed with classic noir narration, vintage sound effects, dramatic orchestral music, and rapid-fire comedy, this original audio drama captures the spirit of old-time radio while delivering a tongue-in-cheek adventure full of spies, espionage, satire, and Cold War chaos.
Perfect for fans of classic radio plays, vintage detective stories, comedy sketches, and retro audio theatre.
