It's the episode where **Andrew Culture** and Dr. Sam somehow make an entire hour of toilet chat, dodgy sampling, and musical rambling sound like a work of art. From unicorn stools (Google at your own risk) to squatting like a Baltic legend, the pair venture into a shambolic journey across music that sampled _what?!_ Expect the unexpected as they break down: - **Bodsore** sounding like a black metal fever dream. - A British punk banger sampling Windows' startup sound. - _Tricky's_ expensive 90s sampling wizardry when only the four richest kings of Europe owned a sampler. - **DJ Shadow**, pre-_Endtroducing_, and _Prodigy's_ cheeky meow-powered rave anthem. - A bizarre mashup of _Biggie Smalls_ and Thomas the Tank Engine. Oh, and Andrew once owned a wardrobe from a public toilet. As you do. So get ready to question your music taste, learn more about squat angles than you ever asked for, and celebrate the ridiculousness of samples that make you yell: _They sampled WHAT?!_ ### Riffs of the week #### Dr Sam's Riff - Bedsore - A Colossus, an Elephant, a Winged Horse, the Dragon Rendezvous (7.30) #### Andrew's Riff - Man/Woman/Chainsaw - The Boss (0:51) ### Dr Sam's track choices 1.

It's Staycation Destinations on Family Life We take a Trolley to this week's Staycation Destination. The Pennsylvania Trolley Museum offers a ride into pre-automobile history. Most people think of the Land of Make-Believe in Mister Rogers' Neighborhood when they think of trolleys. However, the electrified mode of transportation was real-world big business, shaped the development of metro areas, and expanded ways people could go beyond their neighborhoods to go to work, medical appointments and social events. Volunteer tour guide Gary Malaskovitz gives Greg Gillispie and our listeners a vision of that history, plus a ride on one of the nine fully-restored trolleys which still offer rides to the museum's visitors (and guests of the annual Washington County Fair!). You'll also hear from some of the children who enjoyed a simulator which allows them to drive a trolley. In addition to what aired during our Family Life Noon Report, you also have bonus content where Malaskovitz talks more about what young families enjoy about the Trolley Museum (many are fans of Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, Donkey Hodie and Thomas the Tank Engine) -- plus his own story, growing up and riding the trolleys of Pittsburgh. The Pennsylvania Trolley Museum is at 1 Electric Way in Washington, Pennsylvania. During the summer, it is closed Mondays, but open on holidays. Outside of summer, the museum operates Friday through Sunday. Their website is at www.PA-trolley.org.
In this episode of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, Will Harrison-Wallace joins Sam and Mark to talk about calming mindfulness scripts, how to deal with repeating words, bringing to life a film-noir scenario and some great stories about his characters in Thomas and Friends. Sam gets a little confused at the start of the show, and Mark brings out a Shakespearean tragedy wildcard!Our VO question this week is all about how easy it is to transition between stage acting and voice acting.Get involved! Have you got a Wildcard suggestion that we should try or an idea for the show? Send it to us via Mark or Sam's social media or email it directly to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.ukScript 1Embracing mindfulness in the kitchen allows you to turn an everyday task into a moment of peace and presence. The best part? You're incorporating mindfulness into something you already do, making it an effortless addition to your routine. Job done!Start by setting the stage for mindfulness. Take a moment to breathe deeply and clear your mind. Gather all your ingredients and tools, arranging them neatly. Notice the colours, textures, and shapes of the ingredients. Lift the herbs to your nose and smell them. As you wash your hands, feel the temperature of the water and the sensation of cleanliness.Script 2On phone (to Dave Goodwin, CEO of EVATION): Of course. I'll be there right away. Narration: May 21st. I receive a call from Goodwin, known to his friends as Dave. He's CEO of a finance company called EVATION, and they're in a whole world of trouble. Caught up in the middle of a money laundering crisis from hell, and I already have a bad feeling about this case. I'd better not keep him waiting. Sounds like he needs help fast, or my name's not Private Inspector Decker. I take off into the night and make my way to EVATION HQ. **Listen to all of our podcasts here - you can also watch on YouTube, or say to your smart speaker "Play How Do You Say That?!"About our guest: Will Harrison-Wallace is a Londoner.. his route into acting & voice work was slightly unorthodox… spending a number of years in the financial markets when the financial crash of 2008 presented an open door for him! He did a 1 year MA at Drama School - and thereafter began a very different chapter. Acting work has mostly been on stage - UK tours, regional theatre, London fringe and - in the last few years - at the NT and West End.One of his very first VO jobs was providing the voice of a Bingo Caller for a Facebook Bingo game…. He enjoys character work - which other than audio drama and video games has included, Dubbing / ADR / Looping & Museum Exhibition Characters.... This year Game Titles include 'Warhammer III - Total War' and 'Age of Water' .He's also the voice of 3 characters in Thomas & Friends; the latest iteration of Thomas the Tank Engine shown on Channel 5 in the UK.

Crafting, Swifties (and how great the majority of them are), Thomas the Tank Engine, hot glue, trash pandas, fishing and gemstones. That can mean only one thing: Mo is back, and we're talking about Stardew Valley.Remember that you can always get in touch with us on our Facebook page, on Twitter, or with our Contact page.Content WarningThis episode contains spoilers for Stardew Valley and a few swears.Please listen responsibly.Show NotesMo has returned. You'll remember Mo from our Christmas 2023 episode: "Christmas with Mo - Wrong Side, Flip Me Over". Anyway, Mo joined Squidge to talk about the ultimate comfy game: Stardew Valley.Waffling Taylor's Lite: the pocket size podcast that packs a gaming punch.In this first of two servings of bite sized banter with a side of gaming goodness, we catch up with Mo from The Squank and the Hag podcast to talk about all things Stardew Valley. We cover everything from fish fridges, channelling your inner Flappy Bird, to bard versus Darth Vader.So without further ado, sit back, grab some snacks, and get ready for this episode entitled: "Exploring Stardew Valley: A New Farmer's Tale - Part One"Take it away, guys— SquidgeAnd Mo started us off with a pretty in-depth description of her and her podcast:So I am one of the co-hosts from The Squank and the Hag. You can find us thesquonkandthehag.com. I am a nerd, and that's really all there is, I think....But video games, movies, TV, pretty much anything that can be nerdy, I'm into. I'm also into True Crime, and that's what our podcast is about.And, yeah, I feel like I've been on the show enough that I'm part of the family, so I'm sorry. Yeah, I'm just another Taylor. I am here to adjust your clothing. I'll hem your... Isn't that what it is? Isn't that what you guys are? Like, I can hem your pants for you. I actually can hem your pants for you.— MoStardew What-now?And there's no way to talk about Stardew Valley without talking about how easy it is to pick up and play. Mo hit the nail on the head with:That right there is pretty much what they should make the synopsis of the game:"I picked it up and I haven't put it down since," because there, it is just one of those games that anybody can play. Like it, it's just... so accessible, it's so. Just easy to get into and it's so low stress and relaxing....So, like, different play styles can play it and everybody can enjoy it.And it's also just really nice relaxation because sometimes, at least I know for me; now, I am someone with a diagnosed anxiety disorder. So when I get into, like, those high stress, like, first person shooter games, I'm sitting here and I'm all tense and I'm like, "I'M GONNA DIE!"Whereas with Stardew Valley you don't have that and it's just enjoyable— MoMo then goes on to mention a Stardew Valley-like which is set during a zombie apocalypse. With some post-edit sluthing, we found out that the game Mo was referring to was Zelter.And Squidge brought up a really good point about what makes the game so accessible:I think Stardew Valley, a thing that's got going for it is there's no fail state.Apart from if you're in, if you're like dungeon diving in the mines, if you get knocked out, you wake up at like the little clinic hospital place and they take some money off you for medical expenses. Apart from that, there's absolutely no fail state....So all the pressure's off. Then you don't have to worry about anything and if you miss something, it'll come round the next year. There's no ending state. You can always pick it up again if you miss something.So, yeah, it's very laid back experience.— SquidgeAnd the lack of a fail state is what drew a lot of people to Untitled Goose Game—that, and the whole goose-based-shenanigans.Any conversation about Stardew Valley, it's lasting influence, how accessible it is, and how well crafted it is cannot fail to mention that the entire game (art, engine, music, and all) was created by one person. Eric Barone (aka "ConcernedApe") is used in the book Ultralearning as a case study. Jay really recommends this book, by the way.It's gonna sound weird at first. Just stay with me. It's similar to Photoshop where there are a million different ways to get to the same result. So, like, in Photoshop, you want to crop something out. There's 20 tutorials. They're all different, but you all get the same results.So, like, with Stardew Valley, maybe you hate fishing. You can still succeed and, you know, make money, have a good farm and all that stuff without fishing.— MoFull Show NotesCheck out the full show notes for the full list of Squidge's questions, some extra stuff, and some links to related things.Have you played Stardew Valley?

RTÉ are putting 80,000 euro into dubbing Peppa Pig and Thomas the Tank Engine, but how does dubbing work and will this benefit children? Deirdre Barry, CEO and producer at Avalon Films joined Sean to discuss...
On this week's episode, Chris and Sylvie struggle to find anything of value to say about a show for preschoolers that is the epitome of lazy edutainment. A cobbled-together variety program which lets the creators of Thomas the Tank Engine and stock footage from 60 years ago pad the runtime, there is nothing to the paltry animation of Salty's Lighthouse beyond the decades old footage it records over. Yes, turns out this was a secret CanaDUB episode all-along that took the British nautical puppet show TUGS and made it more Canadian. We had nothing to talk about here, so we mostly let Sylvie politely hijack the episode to teach Chris about the rarely discussed Canadian classic Theodore Tugboat. We pulled a real Salty's Lighthouse and padded our own runtime this week...yet we showed more effort, somehow. Episodes covered for the podcast are Episode 19 & 20 "Strike Up the Band" & "Blanketly Blank." Animation directed by Sue Peters and Jeff Hall, and written by Barry Harman, Steve Edelman, and Scott Guy respectively. Original airdates February 6th and February 13th, 1998.

A Chatham mum is fuming after the remainder of an £80 birthday cake she bought for her young son was eaten after she left it at a party venue.She'd splashed out on the Thomas the Tank Engine-themed showstopper for her six-year-old's bash at a bowling alley in the Pentagon. Also in today's podcast, a woman from Ashford is encouraging us all to know the symptoms of breast cancer after she nearly went undiagnosed. The 40-year-old dismissed her symptoms as a sign of the menopause, and only saw a gp after her husband encouraged her.

This week the ladies are living out their piña colada fantasy and going all-inclusive at Sandals Resorts! That's right, they're talking about their favorite vacation frags for fun in the sun, a Vegas strip club, or simply to terrify everyone near you on your flight. Listen as the gals John Cage the house down boots and bravely ask: Are there more than four hot men in Los Feliz? Is it a leap year for cuffing season? What does old lady breath smell like? Is it a perfume or a Gauguin painting? All that PLUS pissy hay, Colgate original, cougar scents, and Thomas the Tank Engine aesthetics.

As summer turned to fall in 1985, the aftermath of the LIVE AID benefit concert continued to ring in the ears of the collective musical consciousness. Paul McCartney's appearance in the show, albeit minus the rumored involvement of George and Ringo, was a welcome revitalization of Macca's profile following the disastrous reception of his Give My Regards to Broadstreet film. The aforementioned George and Ringo were also no slouches at this time, with Ringo Starr lending his voice to a new era of fan - the toddler set - via his narration of the popular Thomas the Tank Engine books. George Harrison's appearance at the European Grand Prix in October was yet another step on the road back ot public life, which would kick up a notch in the weeks to come... Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of The Autistic Culture Podcast:Angela Lauria and Matt Lowry delve into the fascinating world of trains and their special relationship with the Autistic community. “So it looks like we're talking about trains, or it looks like we're talking about Pokemon, but we're really talking about how autistic joy is found, how we invent things as autistic people, how we create.” –AngelaThomas the Tank Engine was created in 1945 by a father based on his Autistic son's love of trains. Thomas has been popular with Autistic kids (and adults!) since it aired on TV in the 1980s. Studies show strong affinity in the Autistic community.The new Thomas series introduces Bruno, an Autistic brake car. Bruno was carefully crafted with input from Autistic writers, Autistic actors, and ASAN (Autistic Self-Advocacy Network) to prove an accurate fictional representation and neurodivergent role model for kids.“Mattel worked with ASAN for three years and all sorts of Autistic representatives, Autistic advocates, Autistic authors, and we're going to get to all of these in just a minute, about how to develop Bruno to make him an authentically and delightful Autistic representation.” –MattBruno represents positive, authentic Autistic representation, versus a stereotype or checkbox. The hosts contrast to how how Sheldon is portrayed on The Big Bang Theory, calling it an Autistic minstrel show because of how it spreads misinformation and is offensive in many ways.They conclude quality Autistic representation is vital for autistic kids to see themselves included. Thomas sets a great example of how to do it right.The podcast hosts also share personal anecdotes and insights into the deep love and fascination Autistic people have with trains. From the sensory experiences to the repetitive patterns, there is something about trains that resonates with the Autistic mind and has a big effect on Autistic culture.Are you a train fan?
