What does it take to make a hit audio drama that’s smart, sexy, and unapologetically Black?

In this behind-the-scenes session, we go deep into Do Not Disturb — the riotously funny, wildly relatable Audible Original written by Sherise Blackman, which follows three South Londoners on a quest for good sex, real friendship, and a little peace and quiet.

Hosted by Akua Gyamfi, this conversation brings Sherise together with cast members Richard Blackwood, Martins Imhangbe and Saffron Coomber, and director Ethosheia Hylton, for a frank and funny look at the making of one of the standout audio productions of the year.

Expect insider insight into writing for sound, directing performances, and acting for audio — plus honest reflections on love, womanhood, and carving space for Black British stories in a booming medium.

Whether you’re an aspiring writer, actor, or just here for the drama — this one’s not to be missed.
