Deep Fought

Episode 143: Animal Instinct

Welcome to our dozens of new, parsnip-loving listeners. This episode talks a lot about everyone's favourite hip new veggie, the 'snip (parsnip). It's also a rambling voyage through dialect differences, music in the animal kingdom, musculature, and mortality. Par for the course, really. This episode's mistakes include:
Top-loading all our best content (parsnips).
Unable to see picture of parsnips while listening due to audio format.
Paperwork for sponsorship not complete in time for publication (parsnips).
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 142: Great Grief

My, you step away from the world for a month and look what happens. Nick is back from making a TV show, and Michael is back in Melbourne lockdown again. It's a big catch up episode with a lot of filmmaking discussion, so we won't hold you up with any more nonsense here. This episode's mistakes include:
Forgot to discuss continuity.
Michael's new boom arm made the audio worse.
Nick is hot now, deal with it.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 141: That's Show Business!

Roll up, roll up, for the show of the century! It's a loosey-goosey chat today about everything from the return of lockdown in Melbourne, to the debut of Hamilton on Disney+, to a discussion of body temperature. There's also a bit of an update on 'Good Grief', Nick's streaming series that will soon start filming, making this the last pod you will have for about a month. This episode's mistakes include:
Michael buying himself a boom arm.
The odd sniffle from a recovering Nick.
Maybe it was unfair to lump the boom arm in as a mistake, it could be quite good?
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 140: Delete Your History

Hello and welcome to another juicy discussion on the state of the world, as we dive into the controversy around the destruction of statues. Is this revisionist history, or something more noble? This spins off into a discussion about old comedy shows pulling problematic episodes, as well as a nice bit of Weird News in the end. This episode's mistakes include:
Accidentally proving Michael right in his accurate predictions of the show's agenda.
Iffy approximations of others' more articulate arguments.
Improper shout-out procedure.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 139: Cop Out

Well met, young travellers. I hope times are treating you well and that this morsel of discussion may sate your appetite. We talk about the black rights matter protests and defunding the police, but we also try to work out which is the coolest fruit, so never let it be said we don't have range. This episode's mistakes include:
Lack of ethnic diversity.
Lack of gender diversity.
Lack of sweater diversity.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 138: Dig Doug

G'day g'day, and welcome to our online podcast. This delightful episode covers a lot of ground, from the racist narratives around COVID success stories, to Joe Rogan's Spotify sell-out, to Hannah Gadsby's latest special, 'Douglas'. There's also some swole panic, pillow talk, and a car czar to look forward too, so dig in. This episode's mistakes include:
Cutting out all the beard oil chat for time.
Some wavering audio levels due to the unboxing.
Fumbling the sponsor read.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Grab a spoon. This episode's mistakes include:
Rushed episode notes lending a generic feel.
Buxton references.
The um... horse... got.... loose I dunno look I've got a dinner to get to.

Hey, wow, good to see you. You've really bulked up, good for you. Respect. Me? Oh, not much, not much. Been doing this podcast thing actually. Pretty fun. Yeah, getting some buzz I think, I dunno, we don't do it for the money. Yeah, yeah. Oh, anything really - this week was about jobs and work and what to do when people outnumber tasks on this planet. Yeah, can be, but we try to lighten things up with stories about pedestrian harassment and that sort of thing. You have to--? Oh, yeah, no, no worries, I actually have a thing too, so, yeah. Yeah we should! We should! Maybe at Jamie's 31st? Oh no, she is? Oh, wow. That's so sad. Buses, eh? Anyway, this episode's mistakes include:
Shit what's his girlfriend's name?
Clarence? No, Clarence is a guy's name.
But wait Florence is a girl's name though so how does that work?

Hello friends, are you well? Please stay safe out there, and make sure to maintain social activity remotely - like by talking to a friend about this interesting podcast you just heard.

Episode 134: Hooey, Louis, And The News

Today marks six years since Deep Fought launched (!) and we'd like to note up front how grateful we are to all of you who have tuned in along the way. Thank you. We're back at the podcast coalface with a topic we can't leave alone - Louis C.K. - in light of the recent release of his special. There's also a smattering of chat about the corona situation, some more recommendations, and a twist ending you won't see coming. Please note we do discuss sexual assault. This episode's mistakes include:
No mailbag despite promising a mailbag.
Slandering Michael's mother, who is actually lovely.
Probably could have been 15 seconds shorter.

Episode 133: Panic Room

Cosy up indoors and put on a podcast, because the world is weird right now and we're weird too. In our first dispatch from quarantine, we're talking about the latest coronavirus news, what it's like to be in total lockdown, and how we're keeping sane. We're also going to try and do more frequent pods for the next few weeks to keep you and ourselves distracted. Take care out there. ❤️ This episode's mistakes include:
Blowing the cologne sponsorship.
Jarring jump to surround sound for SFX work.
Really should have done some George Clooney News with all that's going on.

Hey, my ears are up here!
That's not really a joke and doesn't even make sense but I am running out of ideas how to start this blurb thing. I hope you're getting enough calcium in your diet. Hedgehogs are predators in New Zealand. Who invented the word 'swizzle'? This episode's mistakes include:
Audible traffic noise at start.
Conflating the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre with the 1980 Olympics boycott.
Burying the lede.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Some weird audio levelling, don't ask me, I just make the thing.

Contemplative Michael = occasionally quiet Michael.
Insulted the sponsor.

Plus, Michael's dad Peter phones in, and our grand finale leaves everyone full of Christmas cheer. This episode's mistakes include:
A few first-time dual mic setup issues but hopefully not too much echo.
No time for Peter's song.

Should have known it was called 'retrocognition' given I wrote that into a video game.
Slandering the Australian and New Zealand postal networks.
Self-congratulatory ending.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 125: Do Us A Favour

Sorry for the hold up, old chaps, but let's not dwell on the past. Today we're staring down the future, particularly that of Donald Trump and his impeachment proceedings. But we still find time to learn how not to take a compliment, how to rewind time, and how to register a great internet domain. This episode's mistakes include:
Forgetting to talk about the Syria/Turkey/Kurdish conflict at all.
Not declaring our inherent biases.
Lots of hand gestures which may not translate in the audio medium.
