Oli Julian - Kleptomaniacal Music - Scoring The Twits for Netflix In this episode of Sync Music Matters, I chat with composer Oli Julian, the man behind the gloriously mischievous scoring of The Twits for Netflix Known for his work on Sex Education and Catastrophe, Oli brings his signature blend of fun, rhythm and emotional punch to Roald Dahl's anarchic world with a soundtrack he describes as “kleptomaniacal” The new film, featuring the voices of Margo Martindale and Johnny Vegas as the grotesquely dysfunctional Mr and Mrs Twit, is anything but conventional  and neither is its score. Oli takes us behind the scenes of a sonic palette that includes Bulgarian choirs and what he calls “flatulent” baltic brass, giving the film an irreverent and delightfully chaotic tone. He tells the story of how, during one of his early meetings, he found himself playing the musical saw over Zoom -  a moment he jokes might have sealed the deal.  But beneath the playfulness, there's a deep sense of craft and authenticity to Oli's work. We talk about how his first dalliance with making music came in the from of a humble four-track recording of Wonderwall by Oasis.  As a drummer, Oli admits he's “rhythmically led,” and it shows — the propulsive energy of his cues often drives the emotional core of a scene. For him, groove and feel aren't just musical ideas, they're emotional anchors. During our chat, a familiar theme emerges - one shared by so many composers: the importance of authenticity and being confident in what you create.  The Twits might be a story about the world's most horrible couple, but under Oli Julian's mischievous baton, it's also a celebration of the beautifully bizarre - proof that even the strangest sounds can make perfect sense when they come from an honest place.

On this episode, Leon and Adrian lock horns over one of the most intriguing new Australian acts, Sweet Talk. This season, the boys are on a mission to shine a spotlight on brilliant Australian music that deserves more ears – and Sweet Talk's rootsy, Americana-infused album has certainly caught Adrian's.But here's the rub: Leon can't stand country or Americana. At least… not usually. After firing off a quick takedown of all things cowboy hats and Dodge Trucks Leon gamely embraces the challenge, turning the conversation toward why Adrian is so taken with this band. The result is a thoughtful and surprisingly entertaining exchange where genre bias meets genuine appreciation.It's a chat full of wit, passion, and sharp music insight – proof that even when one of them is squirming in his seat, Leon and Adrian are at their best when they're pulling apart what makes a record tick.Tune in for a Super Sonic Chat where Sweet Talk sparks some very sweet talk indeed.Tell us what you think of the album:Fb: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/supersonicchat⁠Electronic mailing system: ⁠supersonicchat@gmail.com⁠The Twits: ⁠https://twitter.com/chat_sonic⁠Insta: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/supersonicchat⁠

Roald Dahl wrote some of the most amazing children's stories I've even read. My personal favourite of his is The Fantastic Mr Fox, but other classics such as James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, The BFG and The Twits, not forgetting George's Marvellous Medicine were all must-reads when I was growing up.If I had a hundred wishes I wouldn't know where to start, but somewhere near the top would be that every child had a headteacher like mine, who took time to read to them once a week, no matter how long it took to finish the story. Every child on this planet should have someone who read to them, a funny story, with a funny voice, so that they could remember those moments as warmly as I do…Here is a link to the series Roald Dahl's Tales of the Unexpected. It's well worth a watch.Tales of the Unexpected (1979 - 88) Complete Series : Anglia Television : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet ArchiveI welcome opinions of every kind so please come and find me on social media at:Instagram: TwoandaMicTwitter: TwoandaMic1Should I really have to ask?

As I've said before I am now in my burning bush year so I can do a lot of things and July 1 of 2025 is here and I'm going to start doing what I call TWIT Talks from Time to Time and I'm hoping that you will join me in being a good TWIT Talker! ... So let me tell you the story because there are a lot of them,,, and STOSH something to say for greater clarity and showing even greater talent. Are You a TWIT? I Hope So. (Because I Am One Too) by Stan Hustad Let me just get this out there: I am a TWIT. And proud of it. That may raise an eyebrow—or both—but let me explain. Today, I'm inviting you to join me in the Impact Zone, Transformation Zone, and now the TWIT Zone. Because on this latest episode of What It Takes Radio, I took a light-hearted but deeply personal dive into what it means to be a real TWIT… a person devoted to Transformation, Wisdom, Insight, and Truth. Now, if you're thinking, "Stan, has the Arizona sun finally baked your brain?", hang on a moment. There's a method to this joyful madness. See, the idea came to me the way the best ideas do—on a morning walk, talking to God, thinking, pondering, and yes, praying. All of a sudden, BAM—TWIT. Four letters that could change a life (and maybe even a few businesses) if we let them. From What It Takes to TWIT The original inspiration came from an old mentor who told me to carry on his legacy of “What It Takes.” So WIT (What It Takes) became a theme in my life and work. But then I added the T—for Transformation. And I thought, what if being a TWIT wasn't foolish... but powerful? What if our world today needs a new kind of TED Talk—one that's less about tech and more about truth? That's when TWIT Talks was born. Not TED. Not TEDx. TWIT. It might sound silly. But so did the wheel at one point. So What Is a TWIT Talk? A TWIT Talk is 5 to 15 minutes of pure gold—packed with wisdom, insight, and truth that actually helps people transform. It's a little irreverent, often humorous, and always heartfelt. It's the kind of thing that leaves you thinking, smiling, maybe even challenged. You see, to TWIT someone is also to tease, to prod, to poke a little fun... but all with love and a dash of wit. It's about sparking curiosity and waking people up with a twinkle in the eye and a kick in the soul. Why TWIT Matters Now Let's be honest—2025 hasn't exactly been a cakewalk. We're in a messy, noisy, confusing, AI-fueled world where shouting seems to replace speaking, and everyone's selling something but saying nothing. What we need are real voices sharing real wisdom—earned through scars, stories, and lived experience. That's what TWIT Talks aim to do. They're short, sharp, and spiritual (with a splash of sass). They remind us that transformation begins not with a miracle, but with a moment of honesty. Some Possible Takeaways from This TWIT: • Transformation starts with truth, not just tech. • Wisdom doesn't come from Google—it comes from living. • The best insights are simple, but never shallow. • A little humor makes truth easier to swallow. • You don't have to be TED to make a difference—just be real. • AI is powerful, but you are irreplaceable. • Never stop experimenting; even foolish ideas can lead to brilliance. • Black, white, red, gold, silver—whatever your brand, make it shine with purpose. • Use your scars to teach—not to hide. • Stories still heal better than slogans. Join the TWIT Movement I'm not trying to go viral. I'm trying to go vital. And I'd love for you to join me. Whether you want to listen, learn, or give your own TWIT Talk, there's room at the table (or microphone) for you. You've got something to say—something true. So, what are you waiting for? The world doesn't need more noise. It needs more TWITS—people like you and me who dare to lead with wisdom, insight, and truth. Let's make transformation not just a trend, but a way of life. Until next time… Be bold. Be kind. Be a TWIT.

Our 2025 mission remains: to shine a spotlight on great Australian music.Here we dive deep into Struggler, the critically acclaimed second album by Genesis Owusu. With its genre-bending soundscape, existential themes, and unrelenting energy, Struggler cements Genesis as one of the most inventive and fearless artists in the Australian music scene—and beyond.We peel back the layers of sonic experimentation, poetic lyricism, and Owusu's shape-shifting persona. From the post-punk propulsion of “Leaving the Light” to the dystopian funk of “Tied Up!”, we unpack how Struggler wrestles with chaos, identity, and perseverance—anchored by Genesis's unmistakable voice and bold creative vision.Along the way, we connect the album's themes to the broader challenge of carving out space for Australian artists in a global market dominated by US and UK acts. Why is Struggler so vital in this cultural moment? What does its international success say about the evolving landscape of Australian music? And how does Genesis Owusu embody the future we hope to see for homegrown artistry?Tune in as we celebrate Struggler — a record that refuses to play by the rules, and a reminder of why Australian music matters on the world stage.Tell us what you think of the album on all the socials:FB: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/supersonicchat⁠Electronic mailing system: ⁠supersonicchat@gmail.com⁠The Twits: ⁠https://x.com/chat_sonicInsta: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/supersonicchat

How to make REAL Mexican Guacamolé 🇲🇽🌵🌶️ Hola, amigos! Today I will teach you how to make authentic Mexican Guacamolé, just like they do in the little pueblos of Guadalajara, or maybe Tijuana (not sure, but it’s all the same, right?). I learned this recipe from a real Mexican abuela while I was on vacation in Cancún, so you know it’s 100% legit. Ingredients (super auténticos): - 3 avocados (or as Mexicans call them, guacamoles). - 1 red tomato (Mexicans love their spicy red stuff!). - 1 onion (Mexican food is all about onions, right?). - A LOT of cilantro (Mexicans put cilantro in EVERYTHING). - 1 lime (because Mexico = limes, duh). - Chili powder (because every Mexican food must be spicy, no exceptions). - Tequila (optional, but why not? It's Mexico!). Instructions: -First, take your guacamoles and smash them with a fork until it looks like a green soup. Mexicans love their food mushy. - Add the red tomato and onion, but make sure to cut them into big chunks so it looks rustic, like in a real fiesta mexicana. - Pour in A LOT of lime juice, because in Mexico they put lime on everything, even their tacos, Coca-Cola, and probably their coffee. - Sprinkle chili powder generously. Mexicans eat spicy food since birth, so if it doesn’t burn your mouth, it’s not real guacamolé. - If you want it extra authentic, add a shot of tequila directly into the mix. That’s how they do it in the cantinas (probably). - Mix everything with your bare hands. No forks, no spoons—this is how real Mexicans cook, I saw it in a documentary once. And there you go! You just made a traditional Mexican Guacamolé, the way it has been prepared for centuries in Aztec temples (or maybe Mayan? Same thing, right?). Serve it with hard-shell tacos and enjoy your real taste of México! Arriba! Andale! Sombrero! 🇲🇽🔥💃 Si ellos no se preocupan en hacer una buena peli, yo no me preocupo en hacer un buen cajetín aquí.

Whether it's Turkish Delight, chocolate cake or ginger beer - some of our earliest food memories are shaped by the books we read. In this episode Sheila Dillon goes down the rabbit-hole of children's fiction to discover why young readers find descriptions of food so compelling. She hears from bestselling children's author Katherine Rundell who insists on eating the food she features in her books. Katherine reveals what it's like to sample a tarantula in the name of fiction. Professor of Children's Literature Michael Rosen unpicks the themes of greed, temptation and fear that surface in both his work and that of Roald Dahl. At the Bath Children's Literature Festival Supertato author Sue Hendra and the illustrator Rob Biddulph talk about how children are drawn to the everydayness of food. The programme concludes in the Children's Bookshop in North London as the Food Programme presenters gather to discuss their favourite food books of the year for both younger and older readers.

From loving TikTok to enjoying cold readings playing “delightfully stupid” characters, Mary Testa is a talented actress who's “not on a stardom path and never will be”. She starts off where her acting journey began: choosing between law school and performing. Ultimately, she pursued the latter and eventually moved to New York in 1976, explaining why she just likes working on interesting things with people she loves. She discusses self-taping auditions during the pandemic, and that while she believes it's better to be in the room for auditions, she understands the preliminary role of self-tapes. Known for playing strong-willed characters, Mary reflects on her career as a character actress. She recalls asking Michael John LaChiusa to write a role for her as “a very stupid character”, challenging the usual type casting she gets. She also admits to loving cold readings, the spontaneity, and the challenges that come with them. Reflecting on her journey, she gets real as she talks about perfectionism, how insecurities can lead to tyrannical behavior, and why self-awareness and being comfortable in your own skin is important to keep you grounded. Mary Testa is an actress with a phenomenal career spanning almost 50 years, which includes 12 Broadway shows such as “Oklahoma!”, “42nd Street”, and “On the Town”, resulting in her three Tony Award nominations. Her TV and film credits beginning in 1979 include “Cagney & Lacey”, “Sex and the City”, “Whoopi”, “The Battery's Down”, “Eat, Pray, Love”, and “The Good Fight”, “The Blacklist”, and many, many more. She's been a part of the “Ratatouille”, the TikTok musical, and is an experienced voiceover artist. She can be heard in the podcast comedy TWITS: A Streampunk Distraction available everywhere you find your podcasts.

Cyril is happily swilling down a Brandy and Prozac at the Club Bar when his old friends, Ford and Lincoln join him. The conversation turns to the gulf between the privileged class and the masses and Cyril is goaded into betting that he can pass for a member of the working class for a week. His cousin Binky arrives and places his bet on Cyril. Alas, they haven't taken into account that his mechanical valet cannot accompany him. Bentley does his best to prepare Cyril- enlisting their grocery delivery person, Ernie, to tutor and chaperone him, but this is going to be an uphill climb and no mistake.

We left our hero in shorts and flip-flops, preparing to infiltrate a world without privilege. Can he survive for a week without cheesy eggs? without a girdle? Without Bentley? Ernie leads him into the topsy-turvey world inhabited by the working poor and Cyril's eyes slowly begin to open. A cherry causes him to re-evaluate his beliefs.

We left Cyril and Binky packed like sardines on a creaky old mattress. Binky has put his foot in it by passing himself off as a leader of the Welsh Underground in order to impress Judy. A new day has dawned, however, bringing with it the promise of new adventures... and pancakes! Judy has arranged jobs for them and they happily head off to experience the novelty of “working”. NOW AVAILABLE AS AN ACTUAL, HOLD-IN-YOUR-HANDS, REAL BOOK Learn more about your ad choices.

When we last saw Cyril he was being carried on the shoulders of a mob bent on confronting the evil tycoon Cyril Chippington-Smythe. They little suspect that the heroic “Johny” who is leading their little uprising is, in fact, the very Chippington-Smythe they despise. Quite a sticky wicket for our hero, but every step is bringing him closer to the resourceful Bentley. NOW AVAILABLE AS AN ACTUAL, HOLD-IN-YOUR-HANDS, REAL BOOK Learn more about your ad choices.
