Adam Crowther is back showcasing poetry, short stories and original comedy for a new year on BBC Upload.

Upload with Adam Crowther is back for 2026 - It's your open mic night on the radio.

Adam showcases Erin Poppy Koronis’ beautiful reimagining of Peter Pan in 'Remember Me, Peter', followed by JP Paradise’s darkly comic audio play 'Just Desserts'. Bristol’s Ant Lightfoot brings experimental spoken word with 'New Sunshine', and Frank McMahon shares his award-winning poem 'Pomegranate'.

There’s humour too with Monika Morgan’s comedic poem 'Merry Birthday', and Heather Kerton’s moving piece 'The Poppy'. Plus, fiction from Lucy Judd in 'When the Banshee Wailed' and flash fiction from Rachel Burrows with 'On the Bench by the Disabled Parking'.

Poetry, stories, and creativity from local voices – all in one show. Upload your creativity now and you could be featured on air - bbc.co.uk/upload
