Voicing Animations with Kate HarbourThis month Rob and Helen Bee are joined by the legendary Kate Harbour – a voice actor with more iconic credits than you can shake a script at.You've heard her in Bob the Builder, Shaun the Sheep, Timmy Time, Octonauts, The Secret Show, Chip and Potato, Go! Go! Cory Carson… Honestly, the list goes on, and if we tried to name everything, we'd be here all day. She's also a master of radio drama (Doctor Who, Robin of Sherwood), comedy (Puckoon, The Big Ben Theory), and Netflix dubs – basically, if you've ever watched TV, you've probably heard Kate.But she's not just a voiceover powerhouse – she also teaches. Her Acting for Animation workshops have helped countless VOs bring characters to life, whether at top drama schools or in her own private coaching sessions. So, of course, we had to sit her down and grill her on everything: How did she get into animation? How does she build her characters? What makes a great animation performance? And crucially, how does her approach to teaching differ from everyone else's?It's a properly juicy episode, full of insights, laughs, and a fair bit of geeking out over characters. Let's get into it!We also chat to Annette Rizzo - from Equity's Audio Committee.

In this episode of the Language on the Move podcast, Brynn Quick speaks with Dr. Laura Smith-Khan about language and accents in children's media, from Octonauts to Disney to Bluey, and they investigate what a choice as seemingly banal as a character's accent has to do with whiteness, standard language ideology, and securing a nation's borders. They then reflect on Laura's most recently published paper (with co-authors Distinguished Professor Ingrid Piller and Dr. Hanna Torsh) and how accents and language are used to shape discourses around migration and belonging.

The Octonauts discover a volcanic Island with a T-rex and her eggs. They need the help of the Paw Patrol to rescue them.

Hi there, and welcome to today's episode of our podcast. Today we are going to dive deep into the world of Octonauts. Do you know who the Octonauts are? They are a group of marine explorers who go on exciting underwater adventures to save the ocean's creatures. Let's dive in!The Octonauts' team is made up of eight creatures, each with their own unique skillset. There's Captain Barnacles, a polar bear who leads the team. Kwazii, a cat who loves to explore, Peso, a penguin who is a medic, Shellington, a sea otter who is an expert in marine biology, and Tweak, an otter who is an engineer. They also have Dashi, a dog who is a photographer, Professor Inkling, an octopus who is the team's scientist, and Tunip, a vegimal, who helps the team out in the kitchen.The Octonauts have been on many exciting missions. They've saved baby sea turtles, helped a lost sperm whale find its family, and even discovered a new species of jellyfish! They also have a lot of cool gadgets to help them with their missions, like the GUP-A, which is a big submarine that can travel to the deepest parts of the ocean.One of their most exciting adventures was when they visited the Midnight Zone, which is the deepest part of the ocean. The pressure there is so intense that most creatures can't survive, but the Octonauts went there to find a lost octopus. They had to use their special suits to protect them from the intense pressure and find the octopus before it was too late!Did you know that the Octonauts are not only fun to watch, but they can also teach us about marine biology and ocean conservation? They teach us about different sea creatures, their habitats, and how we can help protect the ocean and the creatures that live there.In fact, one of their missions was to help clean up the ocean after a big storm. They found a lot of rubbish in the ocean, which is dangerous for sea creatures, and they worked together to clean it all up. We can all help protect the ocean by reducing our use of single-use plastics - or plastic that only gets used one time - and making sure we dispose of our rubbish properly. Can you think of something made out of plastic, that only gets used once? Now, can you think of how you might use it another time, maybe for a different job?I am thinking of a plastic water bottle. It could be filled up with gum nuts or rocks, and made into a shaker! Or you could make a science experiment by turning it into a rocket ship! You could even decorate it and use it as a bowling pin!The Octonauts have discovered and studied many fascinating creatures in their adventures.One interesting species of plant they found, was Giant Kelp: This type of seaweed can grow up to 60 meters tall and provides an important habitat for many creatures in the ocean.The Octonauts discover a Colossal Squid: This is the hugest squid species we know of, with some colossal squids measuring up to 14 meters in length! The Octonauts have encountered this enormous creature a number of times!Another interesting creature is the Vampire Squid: Despite its spooky name, this deep-sea creature is actually quite small and harmless to humans. It has red eyes and webbed arms.The Octonauts make friends with some Coconut Crabs: These crustaceans live on the land, and are known for their impressive strength, which allows them to climb trees and crack open coconuts! They can do this with their powerful and sharp claws.Another cool deep sea creature the Octonauts find is the Electric Torpedo Ray: This ray has special organs in its body that can produce an electric shock strong enough to stun prey and scare away predators. The Octonauts have studied this creature to learn more about its unique adapSupport the showhttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2150582/support Support our podcast here!

The Octonauts save some coral reef.

When salty water seeps into a freshwater swamp, the resident alligators risk getting sick and have to fend off invading sharks. Can a monkey scientist and a pirate cat help solve the conflict?Dr. Susannah Sandrin, Clinical Professor in Environmental Science & Science Education at Arizona State University helped make sure the science was sound in this episode of the cartoon series The Octonauts: Above & Beyond. It's aimed at young children, but Sandrin says it's important to communicate accurate science to everyone if people are ever to come to grips with the inevitable effects of climate change.Plus, “Everyone responds to goofiness,” Susie says as she chats with One World, One Health host Maggie Fox about her work studying hydrology – the science of water – and studying how best to communicate climate science to kids and adults of all ages.

Joe Saunders (Solar Opposites) returns to MNAM discuss Ruben Östlund's Academy Award-nominated comedy, TRIANGLE OF SADNESS starring Charlbi Dean, Harris Dickinson, Dolly de Leon, Zlatko Brić and Woody Harrelson. Östlund's acerbic satire, set amongst the rich and beautiful passengers of a luxury yacht, premiered at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival, taking home the Palme d'Or and eventually achieving crossover success in U.S. art houses. Now nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Orginal Screenplay Oscars, the film's impact is undeniable, but does TRIANGLE OF SADNESS tell us anything new about the rich and privileged? A hoy hoy! Hop on board for in-depth conversation on Östlund's latest, as well as diversions into Seinfeld A.I., Quentin Tarantino, The Octonauts, Below Deck, Ashton Kutcher, Detroiters, Roy Orbison, Shotgun Wedding, The Ruling Class, Old, and much, much more! TRIANGLE OF SADNESS is currently available to stream on Hulu.

Just three Bad Dads this week and since that's three for the price of none, only you can judge whether that represents value for money. With all of us having equine obsessed daughters it seems suprising that it has taken us this long to discuss the Top 5 Horses, especially as reviewing our back catalog demonstrates that we've held a stable interest in them.We've reviewed a couple of Steven Soderbergh movies on the pod already – MAGIC MIKE, BEHIND THE CANDELABRA - but after the latter's release in 2013, Soderbergh decided to retire from filmmaking, citing the "absolutely horrible" mistreatment of directors by Hollywood producers, before returning with 2017's LOGAN LUCKY. And I say he retired but it wasn't exactly 4 years of sitting around and twiddling his thumbs. In that time, he composed an edit of HER for Spike Jonze (which he didn't use but said helped him finish the movie), posted edits of classic movies such as 2001 and PSYCHO on his website, edited the Magic Mike sequel MAGIC MIKE XXL and then produced and directed two ten episode seasons of Cinemax medical drama THE KNICK. Anyway, after he'd stopped all that mucking about, Soderbergh directed and edited this heist comedy based on a screenplay by his wife Julie Asner, in which Jimmy Logan (Channing Tatum) loses his job as a bobcat operator beneath Charlotte Motor Speedway due to being deemed an insurance liability and so plans a perfect crime in retribution. Together with his brother Clyde (Adam Driver), a former veteran with a missing hand, and his sister Mellie (Riley Keough) the boys set out to break the Logan family curse and rob the venue on its biggest weekend of the year, the NASCAR race on Memorial Day weekend. Well-made, fun and with a good bit of the old cultural critiquing go on around America's treatment of disability and the ugliness of the insurance industry whilst giving a platform to show a little warmth to the less featured red states, we're glad he decided to get off his lazy arse and start working again. From the people that brought you OCTONAUTS comes this not quite as charming redo of the same general principal, with a more cynical eye on penetrating the US market and toy tie-ins. We look at THE CREATURE CASES (Netflix), which came highly recommended by my youngest and sees Sam Snow, a snow leopard, and Kit Casey, a fox, working as agents for CLADE, the Covert League of Animal Detective Experts. It's monsoon season and the animals are escaping the perilous jungle floor to get to higher ground using the bullet train style Monsoon Express. But when the chief engineer is bitten by one of the venomous snakes aboard, it becomes a race against time to locate the perpetrator, extract their fang juice and synthesise an antivenom before the train crashes, killing them all. SPOILER ALERT, they do in fact all die.We love to hear from our listeners! By which I mean we tolerate it. Try us on twitter @dads_film, on Facebook Bad Dads Film Review or on our website baddadsfilm.com. Until next time, we remain... Bad Dads

We're excited to introduce our kids to the structure of mystery shows with Netflix's new Creature Cases from some of the team behind Octonauts. Two animal detectives teach us things we didn't know about the more bizarre members of the animal kingdom, and Deborah accidentally invents the best crossover ever: the crime-fighting duo of Julia Child and Jason Bourne. Genius! In Screen Time in the News, we give some recommendations to the author of a moms.com article who is afraid to branch out from her kids' tried and true preschool favorites.

Our seventh season loops back around to the Monster division for another exciting matchup! Returning contender Jon takes on new challengers Mark and Josh. We'll start with some classic popular popular music presented in an unconventional way, then head out into the wild wilderness to go a pop culture hunt for Bigfoot (and his cousins Sasquatch, the Yeti, and the abominable snowman). All this, plus a lightning round! Bzzzzz NOTES ⚠️ Inline notes below may be truncated due to podcast feed character limits. Full notes are always on the episode page.

SUMMARYThis week, Laura and Kara are in the studio to review the brand-new Netflix children's show The Creature Cases. This animated series follows two detectives, Sam Snow and Kit Casey, as they solve mysteries and provide plenty of animal education along the way. The 30-minute episodes target the 4–8-year-old set with an ideal blend of adventure and useful facts.  OUR THOUGHTSThe Creature Cases theme song is all instrumental, leaving the ladies without an opportunity to lead the show off in song today. Sorry! Kara and Laura love this one, and so do their kids. It strikes them as a Carmen Sandiego, Chip n Dale's Rescue Rangers and Octonauts mashup. In fact, this one came from the creators of Octonauts, which will be an upcoming review. Check out our recent Carmen Sandiego episode here to find out what we thought of it. Chip n Dale is getting the reboot treatment on May 20, 2022 with a cast lead by Andy Samberg, John Mulaney and Will Arnett.   They love the educational elements and visits to real life areas. The snappy and engaging storylines make the 30 minutes go by quickly. They also love that empathy was a common theme in some episodes, particularly as applied to animals and the environment. The more children are exposed to the idea of respect for the planet at an early age, the better. One episode about teamwork and conflict resolution brings Laura back to her experience as a therapist when she'd have similar discussions with her clients.   There is one animal called a Deer Mouse (not to be mistaken for a Dormouse) and another animal called a Mouse Deer. The mouse deer is the smallest hooved animal on Earth. And it's cute. Look how freakin' cute this thing is. Just look at it. POTENTIALLY PROBLEMATICThey downplayed some of the venomous animals a bit. Gila monsters and snakes can be very dangerous for children. Both Kara and Laura's children could have the occasion to run into venomous animals, given that they live in Texas, and they'd have preferred a bit more focus on the dangers of some of these animals. Otherwise, no additional issues! SHOULD THEY WATCH ITKara: YesLaura: YesSIDE CONVERSATIONSTiny Laura has entered the chatBocce is back and Kara has been holding back a story about what Laura's daughter Daphne did while Laura was away for the week. When one kid stole a ball from Kara's son Michael, Daphne went to work. She comforted Michael in the same way Kara has seen Laura do with upset friends in the past. However, shortly thereafter, she pointed out that Kara does not hold her wine glass like mommy does. Oh boy. Here's one traditional way to hold a wine glass.Adults watch tv tooReal World Homecoming, which brings the Real World New Orleans cast back together after 22 years has Laura completely entranced.
