THE PUFFY COATS Audio Musical to Release Free on Streaming

The Writerly Kitchen will release of The Puffy Coats, a new podcast musical written and directed by Filip Holacky. The three-episode comedy-horror, running at 83 minutes, will be available free on all major streaming platforms on October 26, 2026. It is the first public production from The Writerly Kitchen. The musical stars Jorgey Scott-Learmonth and Harrison Vaughan.

Tanya and Mark meet at the airport after their flights are cancelled and decide to start a private detective agency, a choice that leads them somewhere neither expected. The story is told through hazy memories, interrogation tapes, a dictaphone, and a newspaper article. Everyone is narrating, but not everyone is reliable; scenes are missing, the recordings that survive have been edited by someone with an interest. What listeners take from it is left up to them.
