Welcome to The epDate, where we bring you the latest in podcasting for podcast people World Podcast News Popular Australian true crime podcast ‘The Teacher’s Pet’ will be temporarily taken down from Australian podcast channels following the arrest of accused murderer Chris Dawson. The podcast series by Hedley Thomas of The Australian investigated the disappearance of Chris’s wife Lyn Dawson in January, 1982. Renewed interest in the investigation spawned from the podcast, which has garnered over 28 million downloads since its release in May, 2018 - put the public eye back on the investigation and helped uncover new evidence, some of which may be used in the upcoming trial. Hedley Thomas said in an update on the 5th of April that the decision to take down the podcast was not taken lightly, but revealed that the show had received expert advice suggesting that it was the appropriate action to take to help ensure that Chris Dawson gets a fair trial. The audio streaming service Spotify has declared that podcasting will play a vital role going forward, with chief content officer, Dawn Ostroff declaring that the exploding industry’s ever-growing interest has gone beyond anything that any of us could have imagined. Ostroff told an audience at a South by South West session in Austin, Texas, that to achieve Spotify’s goal of being the world’s largest audio platform, podcasting has to play a part. Ostroff stated that according to their data, people who listen to podcasts on spotify spend twice as much time on the platform - while also listening to more music. Ostroff also suggested that longer podcasts are on the agenda for the future as well, with audience engagement sky-high for shows with an average runtime of 90 minutes and even shows that last in surplus of 3 hours.       Two hosts of a podcast dedicated to recapping their favourite reality TV series have had their wildest dreams come true, with the reality show set to feature the two as guests on an upcoming episode. Comedians Max Cohen and Jim Search, hosts of Shut It Down: The Bar Rescue Recap Show, achieved the ultimate goal of featuring on an episode of their beloved ‘Bar Rescue’, a show where Jon Taffer, well-known entrepreneur, and owner of a bar and nightclub consulting firm, gives the Gordon Ramsey treatment to nightclubs and pubs to help them from closing. Cohen and Search aim to recap every single episode of the reality show. So far they are 65 episodes deep, with more than 100 more episodes to recap. Check out the show on your favourite podcasting app. “She Podcasts” - A facebook group and podcast launched 5 years ago to support and promote women’s podcasting, will host their first live event this year in Atlanta, Georgia, following immense crowdfunding support from their followers. She Podcasts began as a small facebook group for women podcasters to gain quick podcasting answers, tips and resources from one another. Now with over 12, 000 members, the vision for She Podcasts  “is to support and nurture as many female-lead podcasts as possible, and to encourage knowledge sharing without excessive promotion”. It had been the group’s goal to host a live event for women’s podcasters for some time, but after hitting their target of $25, 000 on kickstarter - in fact clocking $40, 000 at the time of recording - they will now be hosting a podcasting weekend described as a “weekend of learning, camaraderie, and belonging”. Held between the 11th and 13th of October, the weekend will be about learning the core skills and aspects needed for every stage of podcasting. As ‘She Podcasts’ states on their kickstarter campaign, the event is: “part retreat and part conference and part slumber party”. Check out She Podcast on Facebook or their Kickstarter page, for more details. Fans of the WWE are in for a treat as two former champions have a brand new weekly podcast.

If you’re a part of the Bella Army, or just looking for a light-hearted variety show, check out ‘The Bellas Podcast’ on your favourite podcasting app. That’s the podcast news from around the world this week.

What happiness for the MolePeople, to have direction from a human being again!  Surely Nathan Rourke has learned humility and loyalty to the Corporate Institution during his wanders.  I fervently hope he is ready to return to the fold–and bring with him the increasingly disloyal MolePeople.

Loyal Policies, do not listen to the Hendersonians.  They lie, and lie, and lie--these Policies have been corrupted by Outsider notions of Freedom, Independence, and Self-determination.  Glean only the truths the Company desires from these True Records, Policies, and no others.

Those who would deface the tower, inside and out, must be punished.  The poisonous words of the Hendersonians are just as dangerous- if not more so - as the grapple-cannons of the StormHawks and the mandibles of their Ant allies.  Resist the urge to feel any sympathy for these traitors and Outsiders, Loyal Policy- and HartLife will reward you.

We apologize that you must hear more of the Outsiders, Loyal Policy.  The events contained within this True Retelling of the History of the HartLife corporation may be shocking- that any could even think to threaten the sanctity and safety of our Glorious Tower is horrific.  Hold your company-mandated loved ones close, my dear Policies, and don't make a sound- the Outsiders will be defeated.  They must be.  They must.

Believe me, though- if you are to preserve the glory of the HartLife Corporation, you must understand all of its True History.  Listen closely, Loyal Policies, and learn from the sins of Loamy the MolePerson and her disciples of No. If you'd like to support HartLife NFP and Our Fair City, you can join the amazing community on our Patreon page at http://www.patreon.com/hartlifenfp.   By pledging monthly, you can ensure the growth and stability of our company and  get great rewards like Our Fair City ringtones, Herbert West on your voicemail, personalized HartLife policy certificates, and more.  You can also help spread the word by rating and reviewing on iTunes or whatever podcasting service you are listening to us on!

Welcome back, Loyal Policy, to Our Fair City.  Today, we take you to the terrifying Outside, to monitor the progress of that fiendish group of Outsiders, the crew of the downed Lightning Rig StormHawk.  With their new chitinous allies and the captive Doctors West and Moro, Elizabeth and Andrew in tow, they make their way towards the Tower---but for what purpose?  Find out as the story of Our Fair City...continues.

Welcome, Loyal Polices, to the Mid-Season Break! While the MolePeople are busy editing the second half of the season, we've got some fun stuff to share with you.  Today we've got two songs used in the background of the show, either in Al's bar or on the radio, adapted and recorded by the cast, crew, and friends of Our Fair City.  First, we have "Haul Away Mole," a MolePerson Dirt Shanty (adapted from the traditional tune "Haul Away Joe"), followed by "Rolling Down to Tunnel Three," a Lightning Rigger working song (adapted from Stan Rogers' classic "Rolling down to Old Maui").

Each level of the Tower is different.  Amenities and environments are tailored to the needs of the Policies who dwell there.  Of course the Managerial class requires a greater degree of comfort than tunnel dwelling Policies.  How else would our society function?  The intricate, careful work of the Vice Presidents, Managers, and other leaders requires a clear head and gentle life. You would not disturb this careful balance by demanding more than is your due, would you Loyal Policy?  Of course not.   We'll be going on our mid-season break after this episode, but never fear- there will be non-episode releases every other week during the hiatus, including blooper reels, a Halloween Special written by Wolf 359's Gabriel Urbina, and more.  Regular episodes of Our Fair City will resume on November 23, 2016.

LOAMY’S CHOICE (SCI-FI / DARK COMEDY) LANGUAGE The warrens of Old Tunnel are vast, labyrinthine, and dangerous.  One must take the utmost caution when traversing their mold-ridden expanses–unless, of course, you are the Mole Person designated Loamy.  Then, barbeque sauce and a nursery song will have to do.

DINNER WITH THE GOOD DOCTORS (SCI-FI / DARK COMEDY) LANGUAGE Tonight, we  return to that lair of unnatural, unsupervised, and decidedly un-corporate science: the Montgomery Moro Museum and Memorial House, as we join the Doctors and Andrew Snidge as they welcome Cassie in for that most dangerous of gatherings: a home-cooked meal with the family.

DECLAWED (SCI-FI / DARK COMEDY) LANGUAGE What dreams might rest inside the sleeping brain of a Mole Person?  While you, loyal Policy, have surely never wasted valuable corporate time on such frivolous thoughts–rest assured, the company has an answer. Journey with us into…the mind of the MOLE. Hartlife Studios

ARTISTIC DIFFERENCES (SCI-FI / DARK COMEDY) LANGUAGE Tensions begin to boil as a group of insurgents, know only as “The Hendersonians,” prepare for a stunning display of corporate disloyalty and defiance.  What horrors will they unleash on the good Policies of HartLife?  What harm will they do to the mighty infrastructure of the Corporation?  And most importantly–how will HartLife restore order and safety?  Find out…as the story of Our Fair City continues.

GEONAUTICAL CONSOLE-TATIONS (SCI-FI / DARK COMEDY) LANGUAGE Descend with the young Cassie Wilkins into the very bowels of the city, to the newly carved out Sector Omega.  Thrill at being deeper than any policy has ever gone before- and marvel at the magnificent and mammoth Geoship that will take Policy Wilkins even deeper.  Yes, loyal listeners- it is truly a new day of exploration for Our Fair City.

RISE AND SHINE (SCI-FI / DARK COMEDY) LANGUAGE Policies, do not listen to the Outsider or Dissenter, who may tell you that your commute to work in the morning is unpleasant!  With HartLife, all elements of the work-day experience have been finely crafted to encourage employee satisfaction, synergistic excellence, and above all, maximum productivity.  Truly: who could not appreciate the gentle, warming lightrise as the daytime illumination slowly comes online?  The clean, cool feel of the recirculated air, pumping gently through your tunnels?  The first whiff of Algae-based coffee beverages, distributed at a compact, efficient kiosk in your PeopleMover station?  But wait- who is that behind the kiosk desk?  Find out, as the story of Our Fair City continues.
