The Trials of the Quarantine Kids

In Takaka New Zealand, a melange of climbers, circus freaks and people of general interest are suddenly trapped together at a rock climbing camp-ground due to the COVID-19 outbreak. All stuck in quarantine together the travelers quickly form a new society and new friendships while they band together to try and survive the bitter Takaka winter. Will the ragtag group of misfits find a deeper meaning of community by working together or will their lives slowly drown in the chaos. Every day Niall and Sage talk to a different town member.

Bitch Slaps with Bogan Emma

Episode 4 - Bitch Slaps The following is what Sage and I imagine a TIME magazine article would say about our podcast in one of their world-famous comic books. Bare in mind Sage nor I have ever read a Time comic. "Lacks depth, imagination and focusses far too heavily on the "bogan" aspects of their guests. The recording quality is beyond shoddy and personally, I feel attacked at the suggestion that I would ever actually enjoy this driveling nonsense, let alone think they could ever deserve podcas...

The Acid Test Ft. Big Ben

"You can feel the electricity for sure" and "I don't want to be in a box right now" One is a quote and one is a review, from an unnamed but highly established reviewing agency who due to the crisis is now reviewing debut New Zealand based podcast series.

The Trials of Camp Quarantine ft. Tim

In the very first instalment of our quarantine-cast journey our friend Tim joins us to deliver camp news about internal affairs, well-being and a general quest to discover more about the residents who are trapped here. Conversations with our beloved Tim stray to vodka, chats about nudity and breathing exercises.
