Happy New Year! In the second of our festive specials of âHow Do You Say That?!â we've delved into the archive - and pulled out an episode full of gold with voice actor and casting director Emily Jardine.
As with our Christmas special, this is UNEDITED, warts-and-all! Don't miss Charlie the puppy turning bad, what happened when Sam had a power-cut mid recording and a very squishy sounding Igor - well it was first broadcast around Halloween 2023!
It's about 20 minutes longer than the usual podcast, but there are some real gems in there, and all the bits you don't usually hear before we start recording, after we finish, and when we mess up too!
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 [email protected]
Script 1
A killer can come in many forms.
From the Visionaries, to the Mission Oriented.
Hedonists, To the desire for power and control.
A trait is often shared between these abhorrent individuals. A trait which strikes fear into our hearts.
Their innate ability to blend amongst humanity.
From a single glance, you may think nothing of them. You might even trust them.
Until it is far too late.
Script 2
Dear Henry
I'm Charlie, a Corgi puppy who is quite new to the whole dry food feeding thing. I only like to eat the best of the best and I'm worried that my parents aren't feeding me the right food. Call me high maintenance, but I want a food that ticks all the boxes: tasty, keeps my coat lovely and shiny, my 'parcels' firm, and helps me develop as I grow into a bigger dog. Does such a food exist or are my expectations simply too high?
Best wishes,
Charlie x

Merry Christmas! In the first of our festive specials of âHow Do You Say That?!â we've delved into the archive - and pulled out an episode with voice actor and impressionist Darren Altman from November 2023 - but we thought you'd like to hear it UNEDITED, warts-and-all! It's about 20 minutes longer than the usual podcast, but there are some real gems in there, and all the bits you don't usually hear before we start recording, after we finish, and when we mess up too!

Script 1
Creativity is an aching need for self-expression and a longing for meaning. Thatâs why the best creatives I know pull from their sense of childlike wonder, which means, breaking free of mediocrity and taking a deep dive into who you were, who you are, and who you hope to be.
So it asks...no, demands...that you let go of your artificial boundaries and rediscover all your wonderful weirdnessâthe experiences that make you different from everyone else on the planet.
And when does life ask that of you? Or, when was the last time you could do that without feeling judged? Thatâs why creativity is such a rush. Itâs the undeniable truth of who you are being recognised and embraced.
Script 2

Hello, everyone, thanking you! Iâm so excited to show you my new invention! Introducing the new vacubot 2000, the smallest cleverest vacuum cleaner ever made.

Actually, this oneâs very quiet. But other vacuum cleaners have a noisy motor that makes a fan go round. The fan sucks air into a box that collects the dust , here let me demonstrate.
<CLICK>: she speaks into the remote. We see a light on the * remote tells us itâs listening.
You see I simply speak into the remote like so: Vacubot 2000 clean the room level -Super clean. There you are you see, itâs quite miraculous and can clean from super clean all the way to super duper mega clean. Although I havenât tested that yet. Whatâs that, you want to have a go ? Oh well why not but donât ask for anything more than super duper mega clean yet, things might, go a bit wonky.

Script 1
So what makes a Good Life? To have done something important do you need to be named? To have made a difference do you have to have an image which is instantly recognised? Do you need a million Tweets and a billion followers? An Oscar winning bio-pic? Is the business of a life lived to the full only worth knowing if you yourself are known? A tree falling in the empty forest is not unheard. If nothing else itâs noticed by the other trees. So I fall. Back into the silence of history.
Script 2
Itâs wearing your heart on your sleeve
but keeping your cool.
The noise, the chants
Points won, points lost.
To win the cup or just stay up
We go again, we march on.
Win games and youâll be fine.
Football, bloody hell
Its turning up and never giving up
Meeting triumph and disaster
Dust yourself down, pick yourself up
And face the arena.
To coach
To lead
To deliver
To succeed
You just do it.

Script 1
This trunk had two neat brass locks, one left, one right, along the front of the lid. Ethel, after fumbling, opened the first â then, so great was her hurry to know what might be within that she could not wait but slipped her hand in under the lifted corner. She pulled out one pricelessly lacy top of what must be a bridal-veil, and gave a quick laugh â must not this be an omen? She pulled again, but the stuff resisted, almost as though it were being grasped from inside the trunk.
Script 2
A long, long time ago, organic remains were safely stored deep within our planet;
Where it turned into carbon compound.
Let's fast forward to the industrial revolution, when we first discovered that we could use this carbon to fuel our societies.
But there's a catch.
Every carbon particle we burn, turns into a CO2 molecule, that is filling up the atmosphere.
Which is bad news for our planet â and for us.

Script 1
Let's start by accepting and highlighting three basic, concrete, and absolutely undeniable premises:
1. Everyone, without exception, has felt fear at some point in the past.
2. Everyone, without exception, continues to feel fear, often and on many occasions, in the present.
3. Everyone, without exception, will continue to feel fear in the future. All human beings (in fact, all living beings) feel fear.
Fear is absolutely necessary. Repeat after me: Fear is absolutely necessary.

Script 1
So, your boss has given you the go-ahead to work from home. Awesome!
But moving from a secure office environment to your cosy home office isnât as simple as just logging onto your home WiFi. If you receive an unexpected email from your colleague, it might not actually be a colleague on the other end. When in doubt, call or verify via text and report any suspicious messages to your IT security team.
Donât ever click on links like these. Rather bookmark the sites you frequently visit.
You are our strongest line of defence so remember to be super vigilant.
Script 2
Itâs that time of year again and we gotta get âyou know whoâ ready for his global trip.
Hi, Iâm Pogo the Elf, and I oversee the production and packaging of all of the Christmas presents. YeahâŠof course the big guy has the last say, but Iâm the one he comes to for the inventory.
Anyway, Iâve been given a very special assignment this year. Thatâs to organise this yearâs Company Christmas Party. Thereâll be a bouncy castle, games and a fancy dress contest for all the kids. Not to mention even BIGGER rides, a bar, and more for the adultsâŠ.and yesâŠ..a DJ!!!

Do you dream of flying to the Moon? If so, you should start training for it now!
First, you need to have a strong body, so exercise every day and develop healthy living habits.
Second, learn about space science and the moon by studying and reading books.
Finally, you should also learn how to pilot a spaceship.
These steps will help make your dream come true.
Script 2
Canât you just admit you're not ready to make your own choices? look at yourselves! You ended up on the side of the highway in a camping tent thatâs missing a pole, you pretty much stole our car, and neither of you have a licence when I last checked, and you had sex - the one rule we had while living under our roof you were not allowed, the one rule. You broke it. This is not good decision making.

Script 1
My freedive in the kelp is at summer's end when the water is still balmy from a season of sunshine. The kelp look shabby, abraded and overgrown, signs of imminent change and a shift towards autumn underwater. An invisible pulse of energy sweeps the ragged fronds one way, bending and flexing the stipes, then hauls them back the other. They flutter and billow in the flow like drapes in a blustering wind, as the surge pours through and over them. In heavy seas, this is where their strength lies. No oak, pine or redwood tree could survive such ferocity on land.
Script 2
I get that youâre upset. Iâm not doing it on purpose.
Look, Monday night was just a few with the lads after 5 a side.
Tuesday, that was that works thing I told you about, ages ago.
Wednesday, we went out, and then last night was just a couple in
front of the telly.
I know you think Iâve got a problem, but I can stop whenever I want.
I donât need it. It relaxes me. Itâs how I unwind.
What? This? Itâs the end of the week.
