00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: It's a woman woody podcast, minis. But when you're in

00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:05,840

Speaker 3: It looks cool.

00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 2: Well done, Christ what's that pillow? What are we talking?

10
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,600
Speaker 2: A velvet number or I'm not.

11
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 4: Sure actually it might be might have been a velvets.

12
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 4: It's an animal free room. It's like otherwise the cat's

13
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 4: on my shoulder and the Yeah, I.

14
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: Thought you were saying animal free room, like you've got

15
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: another room in the house that is an animal room

16
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: full of animal and it was just like stag heads

17
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: just on the wall, just a Taxidermas dream.

18
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:40,840
Speaker 2: It's not the case, obviously, though.

19
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 4: It's a safe space.

20
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 2: It's a safe space. All right. Hey, it's well, I'm morning.

00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 2: Hope you're all having a wonderful drive home. We've got

00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 2: a great guest on the show right now in Eric Batto,

23
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 2: who joins us. Hey, guys, Eric.

24
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the show. Mate in the Animal Free Room.

25
00:00:58,200 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: Great to have you on.

26
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 2: How many animals do you have.

27
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 4: I've got to. But the thing is, you know, with Zoom,

28
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 4: I've got a cat that thinks it's a parrot and

29
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 4: just ends up on my shoulder and you know, it

30
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 4: just just he needs to know his space.

31
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, So anyway, what is it with pets not knowing space? Like?

32
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 2: Really, it's bloody annoying, Like, you know, I.

33
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 4: Thank thank god. How are they going to cope with

34
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 4: when the pandemic's over, when we just piss off?

35
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 2: Are we there behind it?

36
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: We're going to find out it's this huge fearline conspiracy.

37
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: They've spread the fluid from the start just so they

38
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: can get up close to us on the couch.

39
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 2: Wild there's a movie in that there's already like a

40
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:47,559
Speaker 2: Cat's and Dogs movie or something.

41
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 3: Isn't it not about a pandemic?

42
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: Though?

43
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 3: No, it's just about cats fighting dogs.

44
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 5: Sure, it's not about them creating biological warfare. Now, Eric,

45
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 5: let's talk about why you're on the show, mate, because

46
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 5: not to talk about cats inventing biological warfare. You've got

47
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 5: a brand new show which is genuinely my favorite sort

48
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 5: of podcast to listen to. It something that really hasn't

49
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 5: been dipped into all that much recently it's on Audible.

50
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 5: It's called The Orchard and it's a dramatization in which

51
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 5: you're starring and it involves some of the biggest actors

52
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 5: in Australia Make did Zebanski, Gary Sweet, Olivia Deeble as

53
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 5: well these Is this something that you've been wanting to

54
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 5: do for a while working on one of these dramatizations.

55
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: Are they just coming back in vogue?

56
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 1: Because one of my favorite things to listen to a

57
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: nineteen forties dramatizations from the BBC that they used to

58
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: be like this nightly event. I'm not sure if you

59
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 1: listen to them as a kid on the wireless we

60
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: you know, I know my parents did sit around and

61
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: listen to these radio plays or shows.

62
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 2: And what's it like working on one of them?

63
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 4: I remember more of the worlds. Oh yeah, I remember

64
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,119
Speaker 4: More of the World as a kid was the big

65
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 4: one and just being so frightened by it and amazed

66
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 4: by it. So yeah, yeah, when this came along, is

67
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 4: it is a space it's growing? I think, you know,

68
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 4: podcasts are really popular that we kind of used to

69
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 4: just people just talking to each other, and in this case,

70
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 4: it's a dramatization of an original original idea, and it's

71
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 4: a drama thirteen parts, and it's like a radio play

72
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 4: with incredible sound design and really beautiful soundscape. So if

73
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 4: you're listening to this with headphones on, it's a really

74
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 4: immersive thriller. Basically.

75
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: I was going to ask you that actually, because I

76
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: know with the original radio plays, and again I was

77
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 1: going to say, I'm showing my age here, but maybe no,

78
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: I'm not at all. I'm just showing that I've got

79
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: bad listening habits. But these shows that I listened to

80
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: in the nineteen forties, like they used to have a

81
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,119
Speaker 1: physical door in the studio and then hold a microphone

82
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: up to the door and then have the door opening

83
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: and closing just so it sounds Obviously, it sounds really tinny,

84
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: it sounds really real. But I imagine there's this transition that

85
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: you've got to make. Obviously, because you used to working

86
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: on a set, Is there was there is it hard

87
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: for you to adjust to the fact that there's going

88
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: to be all these sounds getting put in post because

89
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: you know, at the end of the day it's a

90
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: murder mystery. You're playing a detective. Obviously all over the shop.

91
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: How did that work? You're just leaving gaps for.

92
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, what's It's a great acting exercise because you realize

93
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 4: that you just have nothing else to rely upon. You

94
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 4: don't have facial expressions, you don't have you know, camera

95
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 4: close ups and all those tricks that we use to

96
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 4: get around our deficiencies. So you're just relying on on

97
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 4: your voice as you are in radio, I guess. And

98
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 4: so that was a lot of a lot of fun.

99
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 4: We had a great a great cast and just trying

100
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 4: to bridge the gap and trying to make the storytelling

101
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 4: as vivid and trying to be energetic at the same

102
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 4: time whilst being in close into a microphone and trying

103
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,679
Speaker 4: to make it sound like you're actually doing the things

104
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 4: that your character is doing in the story. Yeah, that

105
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 4: was That was probably the biggest challenge.

106
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 3: Would you still get dressed up like your character or

107
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 3: are you just are you just Eric Banner in his

108
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 3: jocks in his living room becoming Adam Dirwood.

109
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 4: Look, it might shock you to know that I did

110
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 4: I skip wardrobe for this make up on the wardrobe department.

111
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, the catering truck was pretty crap as well,

112
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 4: So I do I do miss the extravagance of the

113
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 4: of the set of the movie set. But yeah, no,

114
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 4: it was, it is. Yeah, there's there is a is

115
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 4: a great side to it, for sure.

116
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 1: Just imagining you, like you know that the Holy Grail

117
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: and Monty Python where they roll around with the horses

118
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: with the coconuts, like when when they're imitating the sound,

119
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: I'm just imagining you doing the sounds of your own

120
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 1: car and everything into the motorby.

121
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 2: But guys, the sounds came beautiful. We can't stress that enough.

122
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: It doesn't Eric making sound effects into a microphone.

123
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 2: It is a full production. It sounds buddy awesome.

124
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: The Orchard True crime drama podcast it's on Audible again.

Speaker 1: with a hot cast as well, Magna Zevanski, Gary Sweet,

132
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: Olivia Deebel and of course Eric Banner, who joins us

133
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: right now live on the show. Eric, it's it's a

134
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: bit of a I was going to say, because obviously

135
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: you actually started in radio a very very long time

136
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: ago on Triple M.

137
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 2: Is that right?

138
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 4: Good research? Good research? Yeah, Dave O'Neill and I had

139
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 4: a show on Sunday nights on Triple AM for a

140
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 4: little while called the Schnitzel Brothers. So and I would

141
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 4: I occasionally did feelings for people on the Grill team

142
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 4: every now and then. But yeah, yeah, I loved it,

143
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 4: love working in radio.

144
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 3: You've referred to some some research there, Eric, and we've

145
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 3: gone one step further. We've got some audio of the

146
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 3: Schnitzel Brothers.

147
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, before before before we played this.

148
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: It's probally fair that we reveal our sources because there's

149
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: a guy who works in audio production here who does

150
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: all the ads and stuff, and we were we work

151
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: very closely with her. We've become very fond of a

152
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: guy called Ray Peters, who was the producer, he.

153
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 4: Was our producer on your show What It Was?

154
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: Who can continues to insist that you owe him a

155
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: car man, I don't.

156
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 2: Know, full of crap.

157
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 4: He is dreaming, he is dreaming.
