Human/Ordinary

Sometimes, things don't go to plan. I've had a two week stretch that started well, but then nothing really panned out.

I had some work on that then got postponed, which meant the idea I had for Human/Ordinary couldn't be realised.

Them's the breaks I guess.

What you get instead is a plug for a show that I worked on earlier this year. I feel it deserves more listeners because it's a cracking story and we worked hard on it. You'll hear a trailer for it, followed by a few select scenes from across the series. They're all without context, so the idea is to pique your interest enough that you'll check it out.

Fingers crossed.

Listen to Treason here, or wherever you get your podcasts.

A friend of mine died recently. This is the story of our friendship, and my hate for him.

I've decided to dispense with the intro narration; they weren't really adding anything and you hear from me enough as it is.

This episode is a part of a little series of stories called One Every Two. I'm going to make a new one every two weeks, and upload whatever I have when the time is up. I really abandoned this story. I wish, given the subject matter, I was able to take more care with it. But then, if I gave myself more time, I might just have tinkered and tinkered until it was all tinkered out.

This story contains audio from videos created twenty years ago by many amazing people, including Ben Flavel, Emma Fisher, Paul Watson, Richard Halstead, Chris Ryan, Julia Sutherland, Kathryn Piggott and Ryan Coonan. I haven't asked their permission to use this audio, but will instead ask for their forgiveness.

A sound recording of Japan from the Soundly Pro library is used.

Everything else is by me. Check out more here.

Continuing my little series One Every Two, here's a little story about a week where we had to go back into lockdown. Just me, my partner, our two kids, a big cubby, three suspected cases of whooping cough, and a new approach to parenting.

Scripting, editing, sound design and music by me.

Well it's been a long time between Human/Ordinary drinks.

If anyone's still out there, hi!

For the past five years I've been making a go of doing this podcasting caper as my job. But things have been slow lately and so I've decided to start making things for myself again.

It starts here. A little series called One Every Two, where I'm going to try ("try" being the important term here) to make a new little story every couple of weeks. We'll see how it goes.

Scriptwriting, sound design and music is all by me. You'll hear a bit from Morning Mood by Edvard Grieg. The arrangement is mine and the composition is in the public domain.

Check out more of my stuff here.

Anyway, thanks for listening.

Mic Cavazzini’s last story for this season of Human/Ordinary shares a lot of similarities with his first. It’s about the big things: life, death, and the Himalayas. It’s a story about journeys - how you end up doing what you do in life, and how you end up leaving it.

Produced by Mic Cavazzini

Her whole life, May Jasper has felt nervous about going to the hairdresser. 

She didn’t know anything about fashion, and she didn’t understand all the questions they would ask like “do you want more volume in your hair?” (Why, is that gonna make it louder?) 

And so she fantasised about a world where hairdressers were like plumbers. Just getting the job done, no questions asked.

This episode, May finds out why that is actually a terrible idea. 

Produced by May Jasper.

Recording and sound design by Andrew Callaghan.

Original music by Kent Sutherland.

Even though many people think only of dot-style paintings when considering “Aboriginal art”, it is actually as diverse as the many Indigenous nations who live across the country we now call Australia. Each group has its own unique culture with different languages, different stories and songs, different tools and different art styles.

But increasingly, this art is being exploited in the souvenir market where ‘Aboriginal-style’ designs are manufactured in places like Indonesia and China.

This story explores the relationship between Aboriginal art, culture and identity, and what can be done about the fake art market. 

Produced by Cinnamon Nippard.
