Original comedy, podcasts, poetry, fiction and more on BBC Upload with Adam Crowther. Upload your work for a chance to get on the BBC.

There's a witty audio play set on Salisbury Plain from JP Paradise called Henged. Plus we head into the past with a moving piece of flash fiction from Bath writer Diane Simmons, inspired by a remarkable true story from her own family history. Bristol poet Elsie Rhymes offers a playful and thought-provoking take on our relationship with seagulls, while Christopher Mattravers-Taylor explores marriage, memory and long-held secrets in his short story A Prize Marrow.

There's poetry from Glastonbury's Phil Genoux celebrating the art of wandering, and Calne writer Steve C Walters pays tribute to the joy of reading with a poem packed full of literary references. Bristol comedian Stuart Goldsmith joins us to find laughs in climate change, electric vehicles and life on the road ahead of a major national tour.

And a thoughtful short story from Jack Louis Cooper, drawing on his experiences working with young people and exploring the challenges facing youth services today.
