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." New episodes monthly. Support the show: ko-fi.com/harford. Contact: danhooper86@gmail.com Cover image: Haverfordwest Castle by Roger Gittins, used under CC BY-SA 2.0. Hosted on Acast.
