0:11

a fan of stories with lots of twists and turns,

0:14

I can sometimes be a skeptic when something

0:16

sounds too good to be true. But

0:18

as it turns out, some things just really

0:20

are that good. Like cash back at

0:22

thousands of your favorite stories with Rakuten.

0:25

0:27

of year. And with Rakuten, you can save on

0:29

whatever you're buying for the holidays. So

0:31

while you're getting gifts for family and friends,

0:36

back. Rakuten makes it so easy

0:38

to save since they partner with stores you already

0:40

know and love, like American Eagle, Carhart,

0:43

fenty and Ray ban. These stores

0:45

actually pay Rakuten for sending shoppers

0:47

their way, and then Rakuten shares that money

0:49

with you as cash back. You can also

0:51

stack coupons and deals on top of cash

0:53

twenties, you can do just that.

ways to decorate your island when you do.

1:48

1:50

and focused on a task, which is nice because

1:52

it's not something I'm mindlessly turning

1:54

to, and I have a real sense of accomplishment

over, we wanted to share with you some special

boat episodes featuring conversations with

2:36

the creative team behind the next chapter.

2:38

In today's episode, I'd give some

2:41

into the making of the show as a producer and

2:43

spend a of time just talking about

2:45

peek at another show we think you'll

into this replay of a recent Instagram

3:10

live with me.

3:16

Oh, hey, Marco.

3:17

Hey. How's it going? Can you hear me?

3:20

Yes. It's great. Awesome. Awesome.

3:23

I I was just telling everybody about

3:25

orphan black the next chapter in case they don't

3:27

know about it. So can

3:29

you kind of give a explanation

3:32

about the show and where people can find it.

3:34

Sure. So orphan black

3:36

first and foremost, or from Black the next chapter,

3:39

first and foremost, is a fiction podcast.

3:42

And you can it's available anywhere

3:44

you get your podcasts, whether it's Apple

3:46

or Spotify, or or any other

3:49

distribution channel like that. It's

3:52

also available on our platform

3:54

with realm dot f m. And

3:57

more importantly though, it's

3:59

in addition to being a fiction podcast,

4:02

it's the official continuation

4:04

of the orphan black TV series. And

4:06

I

4:06

can't understate that, you know,

4:08

in in any way. I can't can't

4:10

overstate that. It's

4:14

hugely gratifying

4:17

that we get the

4:19

approval and support

4:22

of the folks behind the orphan

4:24

black TV show. And that we got

4:26

the original cast to join

4:28

us in producing these. It's

4:30

not healthy stories.

4:32

Yeah. So can you kind of tell us, like, your

4:34

origin story? Like, where did you come into the

4:36

project? And

4:38

Like, when did you start working on it?

4:41

And, like, what was the process like at that point?

4:43

Right. So I came

4:45

in right about in the middle of the

4:47

development of season one. Another

4:50

producer had started out the project, but

4:52

they left the company and

4:54

I was the new guy, so I

4:56

was asked to step in and and take over. And

4:58

I was like, I get to work

5:00

on orphan black. That's freaking amazing.

5:02

So so so yeah,

5:04

the the the story of the

5:06

first season was already,

5:08

you know, broken down and

5:10

and know, we had we

5:12

had drafted it in. And I came

5:14

in basically to help

5:16

incorporate the studio

5:19

notes that were coming in to,

5:22

you know, work through any remaining wrinkles

5:24

and storyline, tighten

5:26

up some spots. You know, basically, I've been I

5:29

I tried my best to support the

5:31

writers in a project where I was,

5:33

like, you know, coming in, in the middle. But

5:35

we were they were the writers

5:37

were fantastic to work with. We had a

5:39

wonderful time. And, you know, we

5:41

were, you know, super jazzed

5:44

when when we finally got the word

5:47

that Tatiana Masladi

5:49

was going to be narrating the project.

5:51

And that just like set a

5:53

new fire under everyone. And, you

5:56

know, we we

5:57

excitedly, you know, saw

6:00

saw the project through the finish line.

6:03

Yeah. That was one of my questions was

6:06

if you were, like, a fan of Working

6:08

Black before you started

6:09

working with the project. Oh my god. I

6:11

was there I was

6:13

there in front of my TV on March

6:15

thirtieth twenty thirteen to

6:17

watch the premiere of the first episode

6:20

and I stuck with it right to the end. And

6:22

I I went to work. I

6:24

was working at tour books at the time, and I

6:26

was telling my colleagues there. You guys

6:28

gotta watch the show. You're not gonna

6:30

believe how cool it is. And

6:33

when I mean, some of them took longer than

6:35

others to give it a try, but and

6:37

without exception, every time someone

6:40

did, they'd come back to me and say, oh my god. You

6:42

were right. This is this is probably probably

6:44

cool. So yeah. So

6:46

so big fan of the TV

6:48

series and, you know, that

6:50

stayed with me through working

6:52

on the podcast.

6:55

So

6:55

do you feel like that really impacted your

6:57

work on the show, like being a fan already?

7:00

Oh, yeah. Oh, absolutely. I

7:02

mean, you know, III

7:04

was invested in the story of these

7:06

characters, you know. And and and I

7:08

gotta say the writers are too. I mean,

7:10

all the writers were fans of the

7:12

of the TV series. And all of them

7:15

were invested in these characters and their

7:17

stories. And we all, you

7:19

know, worked very hard to try to

7:21

you know, bring

7:23

bring that enthusiasm into the

7:25

project and do right by it,

7:27

you know. Because it was it was something very

7:29

important to us personally. And so, you

7:31

know, we were we were excited to be able

7:33

to, you know, apply that enthusiasm

7:35

professionally. Yeah.

7:38

For anyone joining, we're talking about or

7:40

from Black, the next chapter of the podcast.

7:43

And you can find out wherever you get your podcast, so

7:45

you can just search and you'll find

7:47

it. My next

7:49

question that I have for you was, what are

7:51

kind of like the processes behind the

7:53

behind the scenes that maybe people don't know

7:55

go

7:55

into, like, making that show like this.

7:58

Right. So so we we

8:00

approached this particular series in

8:02

much the same way you

8:04

approach production of of a TV

8:06

show. We, you know, we start out with a concept

8:09

that gets, you know, that that that

8:11

that you

8:13

know, get that that we end up

8:15

hiring a writer's room

8:18

to to develop further

8:22

you know, AAA writer's room basically

8:25

means we've got, like, five or six writers

8:27

all working together collaboratively to

8:30

put the story together and and flesh it out

8:32

and and, you

8:34

know, make sure everything fits together

8:36

properly. We took notes from studio

8:39

execs because this is their property

8:41

and, you know, they get to bet every

8:43

word that we put out there. And,

8:46

you know, it was a

8:48

matter of drafting, redrafting,

8:51

pruning you

8:53

know, pumping up. We

8:55

did we did everything we needed to do

8:58

over over several months.

9:00

I think Yeah. Over a

9:02

number of months to make sure the

9:04

project was as good as it could be. And then, you

9:06

know, beyond that, once the

9:08

once the script is finalized, we

9:11

send it off to to

9:13

production for,

9:15

you know, copy editing and and

9:17

proofreading and then off

9:19

to audio. For audio production.

9:21

You know, we got the casting, which

9:23

we got that we that we the dream

9:26

casting we wanted And

9:29

yeah. And then, you know, the project at that point,

9:31

you know, kind of steps out of the

9:33

hands of the writer's writer or

9:35

the producer and and goes

9:37

into the domain of

9:39

of the audio department. Although, I

9:41

I remained involved you know,

9:44

to help make sure everything,

9:47

you know, stay on track and

9:49

move forward. Yeah. That was

9:51

what I that was my next question. What does it

9:53

mean to be a producer on a

9:55

podcast? It's basically hurting

9:57

cats. I mean, you know, in a nutshell,

9:59

but I more

10:01

more specifically, I mean, you've

10:03

got you've got you've got to

10:06

you're there from the very

10:08

beginning to the very end, making

10:11

sure that, you know,

10:14

everything that needs to be done, gets done,

10:18

that, you know, the the writers

10:20

are all, you

10:22

know, on the same

10:24

page that

10:27

the, you know, the

10:29

schedules maintained. Everything the you know, the trains

10:31

are running on time. You gotta make sure the trains are

10:33

running on time and one of these projects.

10:36

And and, yeah,

10:38

being the producer is just, you

10:41

know, staying on top of it

10:43

all as best you can, you know. And in

10:45

the case of something like this, of course,

10:47

you've got the adding pressure of, you

10:49

know, it's not just the

10:51

writers and me and Realm that

10:53

needs to, you know,

10:55

be happy with the project. We also have to

10:57

make the owners of orphan black happy

11:00

and the fans, you know, the the

11:02

fans are are awesome

11:04

and they'll tell you when

11:06

something isn't right. You know, and we're

11:08

we're very sensitive to that.

11:10

I wanna add though that even,

11:12

you know, talking about my

11:14

job as a producer, I'd be nowhere

11:17

without my colleagues at Realm. I

11:19

mean, they are the most awesome team

11:21

imaginable, and they are so supportive

11:23

and so ready to pitch in and

11:26

they all know their jobs. They they you know,

11:28

from the content team to the

11:30

audio department to the production

11:32

department, the audience development

11:35

team, the the executive team,

11:37

they're all fantastic colleagues

11:39

and and, you know, they're they're

11:41

as much a reason as anyone

11:44

for for this show making it

11:46

to to to

11:48

to where it is

11:49

now. Yeah. Yeah. And it

11:51

changed a lot. Like, for anyone who hasn't

11:53

listened, the first season was completely

11:55

narrated by Tatiana and she

11:58

did everything. She did the coronavices. She narrated. She

12:00

did all the other voices. But

12:02

for season two, Evelyn

12:05

Christian and Jordan all joined. Can you talk a

12:07

little bit about, like, how that all came to

12:09

be? Because it's pretty cool.

12:10

So so you

12:14

know, anyone and

12:16

it doesn't matter if you've listened to,

12:18

you know, the first season or not.

12:20

What's important to know is that

12:22

Tatiana did everything in

12:24

season one. She she and this was,

12:26

you know, written as long form

12:28

prose. It wasn't written as an

12:30

audio drama script. That's

12:33

what we ended up doing in season two.

12:35

But in the long form prose version

12:37

of of season one, she did

12:39

everything. She read it from start to finish,

12:41

she did all the characters whether they were

12:43

clones or not, you know.

12:45

And and it was a lot of work.

12:47

And it was you know, an

12:50

incredible lift for her, but she

12:52

did it like like like a

12:54

trooper. She was absolutely

12:56

amazing. But I

12:59

think there were two factors that played

13:01

into the changes we made in season two. One

13:03

is we well, three factors. One

13:05

is we decided to to move into audio

13:07

drama. Right? Serial

13:09

box became realm and

13:11

we we started to to

13:15

redefine our approach to this sort of material.

13:17

So we knew we wanted to do it as an audio

13:19

drama. And

13:22

we knew we wanted to make it a little easier

13:24

on Tatiana this time. So

13:27

we we decided that it would be

13:29

fun to just take take things up a

13:31

notch with season two.

13:33

We going to do it as an audio drama

13:35

to bring in cast members from

13:37

the show to join to Tien tsin

13:39

in repricing their roles. And that included

13:42

at first, just Jordan

13:44

and Evelyn. And then

13:47

we we kind of snuck

13:49

in Christian

13:51

toward the end to

13:54

really to really amp things up,

13:56

and they've just been absolutely

13:58

fantastic working together again. They

14:00

work separately but together. You know, they're

14:02

all they're all working from the same

14:04

script, but they're all recording the

14:06

stories in different places. So

14:08

it's it's fun that that they actually

14:11

they don't get to play off each other, which

14:13

is kind of interesting. They're used to playing off

14:15

each other, but this is a situation

14:17

where they have to pretend to play off each

14:19

other and we have to fit their their

14:21

their recordings together. And and

14:23

that's that's been an awesome

14:25

thing to to watch unfold, I have

14:27

to

14:27

say. Just reminding

14:30

everybody who's joining and wondering what's

14:32

going on. We're talking about orphan black, the

14:34

next chapter podcast. There's two

14:37

seasons available. Episode three of

14:39

season two is out today, and

14:41

it's free wherever you get your podcast so you

14:43

can go. Go listen.

14:45

And if you're if you haven't heard of it at

14:47

all, and this is your first time you

14:48

have, like, quite a lot in store for you so you

14:50

can binge. Yeah. So

14:51

at least turn it

14:52

back in it's really a lot of fun. If you're a

14:54

fan of the show, I think you're gonna be a fan of

14:56

the podcast. You

14:59

mentioned the fans earlier

15:01

and it's like how obviously,

15:03

we want the fans to be

15:04

happy. Did you feel like, do you feel the

15:06

pressure of the fans? Like, how how

15:08

does that, like, impact when you're

15:10

making the show? Okay. Well, I

15:12

mean, I'm okay. A full

15:14

disclosure. This is not my first rodeo

15:16

with respect to, like, you know,

15:19

working on properties that have

15:21

been produced on TV or

15:23

movies and and turned them into something else. I

15:25

used to work on Star Trek novels. I've

15:28

done video games you know,

15:30

resident evil and world of warcraft. And,

15:32

you know, one of the things you get

15:35

that gets drilled into you in

15:38

in in working on the

15:41

third party IP, that's what we call

15:43

it, or media tie ins.

15:46

Is that you you have

15:48

you definitely have to be mindful

15:51

of, you know, who the audience

15:53

is and what they like about

15:56

the original property. And then you have to do

15:58

your best to try to bring that

16:00

to the work that you're doing. It's

16:03

It's nothing faint of heart, because,

16:06

like I said earlier, you know, the fans are not

16:08

hesitant about pointing out when you screw

16:10

up. You know? But but

16:12

we but in the case in the particular case

16:14

of Worth and Black, you know,

16:16

the the the share amount of

16:18

support that we got from all quarters,

16:20

whether it was, you know, the

16:22

the the studio or or

16:24

the cast itself, it

16:27

it was absolutely fantastic. The

16:29

the you know, when the actors have notes

16:32

about, you know, whether or not their character

16:34

would actually say a certain line, we

16:36

were like, yeah, okay. I mean, you know

16:38

better than we do, and we'll we'll

16:40

we'll we'll take that note. So

16:43

so it was a truly

16:45

collaborative process. And and,

16:48

yeah, you know, I think I

16:50

think the fans

16:52

will will come to understand that that

16:54

we really did this

16:56

with love and not and

16:57

not, you know, not

17:00

not just as a job. Yeah.

17:03

Someone actually, one of the fans just ask,

17:05

what are some challenges of

17:07

doing a podcast that fans

17:09

might not understand

17:11

or

17:11

recognize? Yeah. Well,

17:14

that that that's true about any

17:16

third party IT project that you work

17:18

on. I mean, obviously, you hope for

17:21

the widest audience possible when you do

17:23

something like this, but you also recognize

17:25

that the main audience is gonna be people

17:27

who are familiar with the

17:29

TV show. What I think

17:32

works in our case is that even

17:34

if you didn't watch the TV

17:36

show, I think if you came into

17:39

season one of the next chapter and and

17:41

started. And, you know, that was your first

17:44

exposure to orphan black. You know,

17:46

it wouldn't it wouldn't take you

17:48

long to figure out what

17:50

the situation was and and

17:52

and where it came from. We we do we

17:54

do a fair amount of referencing to things that

17:56

happened on the TV show to kind of

17:58

ground people in the world that they're

18:00

in. So So, yeah, I

18:02

think I think a non fan could

18:04

actually get a lot

18:06

of interesting pleasure out of out of our podcast.

18:09

So we

18:13

already know you have good taste since you're

18:15

19:49

your podcasts or

19:51

at realm dot f m.

19:59

Are

20:01

there are there things you can kinda tease

20:03

about? Like, maybe for people who haven't even

20:05

listened to season one. Right.

20:09

Like, what would what,

20:09

like, what can you tell them that might entice

20:12

them to be like? Yeah. Well, it's

20:14

it's it the the podcast is set

20:16

eight years after the end of the

20:18

TV series. everybody's a little

20:20

older. And

20:22

and their lives have changed a bit.

20:24

You know, some of them Some

20:26

of their lives have changed more than others. And

20:29

that was a really interesting thing

20:31

to explore. We

20:35

one of things that I'll

20:38

I'll talk about in

20:40

connection with that is that, you know, we got

20:42

only a couple of glimpses of

20:44

Rachel in season one,

20:46

but what we saw was very

20:50

enticing and very telling. I

20:52

mean, Rachel, had gone through

20:54

probably some of the some of the hardest

20:56

changes to her character since

21:00

the end of the

21:02

TV series. But she also remained

21:04

racial throughout it. And

21:06

when we catch up to her, you

21:08

know, we kinda see

21:11

you know, a hint of of

21:13

of that journey that that she's

21:15

she's been on. And in

21:18

in season two, we

21:20

actually, like, explore that way further. She's she

21:23

has a much bigger role in

21:26

in in season two. And

21:28

there were some scenes coming up that I just

21:30

can't wait for people to

21:33

listen to because they're

21:35

they're they're just they're just amazing

21:37

in the way that they, you

21:41

know, show the evolution of her character and a

21:43

lot of the other characters.

21:46

Yeah. We had so for anyone

21:48

who might have missed it, we did, like, a reunion

21:50

panel with the cast a

21:53

few weeks ago. And you can find

21:55

it on YouTube. And one of

21:57

the questions that they asked the

21:59

cast was, like, were you surprised by any

22:01

places, like, where your characters went?

22:04

gonna ask you the same thing where you since

22:06

you were a

22:06

fan, were you kind of like, was there any

22:09

surprises when you were working on season one?

22:11

You're like, oh, this is or

22:13

or maybe like Just the fact just the fact

22:15

that that it was being set

22:17

eight years later. You know,

22:19

that that has huge implications

22:21

for for a couple of characters like

22:24

Kiera and Charlotte, who in the TV

22:26

series were children.

22:28

And in our

22:32

podcast, they are, you know, older

22:34

teenagers now. So

22:36

so them, you know, writing those

22:38

characters as adults

22:40

and figuring out, you know, where

22:42

they were in their lives was

22:46

was really a revelation to

22:48

me, particularly given the role that

22:50

they play in you know,

22:52

I mean, I mean, season

22:54

one I don't know. Should I

22:56

spoil this guy? I may as well.

22:58

You're season one. There's a big game

23:01

changer, which is that the

23:03

clones are exposed to the world.

23:05

Everybody knows that they exist. And

23:07

it happens about halfway through the season.

23:11

And there's lots of other stuff going down. So

23:13

there isn't a lot of time to explore

23:15

the fallout of that. That's what Season

23:17

two is about. But

23:19

what is interesting about the

23:21

the close become, you being

23:23

revealed and being exposed to the world is

23:25

that it it was Kira and

23:28

Rachel who chose

23:30

to make that happen without, you know,

23:32

getting the consent of

23:34

the Sestras or any

23:36

other clones who ended up being exposed

23:38

to the process. And,

23:41

yeah, it it was AAAA

23:44

huge involuntary outing of

23:46

nearly three hundred women and

23:49

and

23:50

Season two is

23:53

really digging deep

23:55

into that. So,

23:57

I guess, this is, like, also a slight spoiler, but

23:59

someone asked a question about Cassima

24:02

and Delphine being parents. This is

24:04

Susan too. And Are

24:06

we gonna see, like, any more insight

24:09

into them as parents?

24:10

Oh, yes. Oh, yes.

24:12

There there's really there's

24:15

there's Couple of really beautiful scenes

24:17

coming up about that. I

24:19

don't want to spoil it too much.

24:22

They do go let

24:24

me we're we're up to episode three

24:25

now. Mhmm. Yeah. Episode

24:26

three now. Okay. What I'm

24:28

trying to remember when it it's it's

24:30

an episode five that

24:32

they go to a childbirth

24:35

class. And we get to

24:37

see what that's like for them,

24:40

especially given what is

24:42

going on in the world with respect to

24:43

clothes. Howard

24:44

Bauchner: So someone asks where

24:47

you can listen to the podcast and

24:49

you can get it anywhere that you

24:51

can find podcasts. You can do, Apple's, Spotify,

24:54

any of your podcatcher kind of apps

24:56

that you use should work on

24:58

YouTube. So anywhere on

25:00

there, you just search orphan black in the next

25:02

chapter, you should find it pretty

25:04

easily. So okay.

25:07

Another I think this is my last question for you,

25:09

and then we'll take we'll take more, like,

25:11

audio question, so people are sending things.

25:14

But what other like,

25:16

what other podcasts you working on

25:18

-- Oh, wow. -- that that that CLONE Club might

25:21

be

25:21

like, sure. I won't listen to this.

25:24

Well, you know, Earlier

25:26

this year, I did another

25:29

MediaTiny project called Batman the

25:31

Blind Cut, which is

25:33

about the Batman Catheter. And he

25:35

in a he teams up with

25:38

the one of the

25:40

magical characters in the DC universe,

25:42

Thomas. And, you know, zatana and Batman in the

25:44

story are on equal footing. And in

25:46

some ways, I think, you know, because it's a

25:48

magical problem that they're facing. Zatana really

25:51

has the edge John. I'm back, ma'am.

25:53

But it's an awesome story by

25:55

Catherine and Valenti, Martin

25:57

Cahill and Kay

25:59

Arsenal Rivera. And, yeah,

26:01

that's that's available only on realms

26:03

platform. So please

26:05

subscribe to that if if you're

26:07

interested in that story. But

26:09

in terms of other podcasts, we've

26:12

also I also started

26:15

recently hosting Tales Beyond

26:17

Time, which is an anthology show

26:20

that features, you

26:22

know, short fiction that

26:25

realm picked up over the course of

26:27

twenty nineteen and twenty twenty. And

26:29

now we've, you know, we've

26:31

got about a hundred thirty stories

26:33

approximately that we're

26:35

we're going to be releasing a

26:37

podcast form. And the show,

26:39

again, is called Tails Beyond Time, and I'm the host.

26:41

I'm basically, you know, the rock

26:43

cirling of of our particular, Twadlitza.

26:46

Yeah.

26:46

And I think, you know, people who, like, work

26:49

from black, like, sci fi and,

26:51

like, sci fi things that make you

26:52

think, and a lot of these stories are, like,

26:54

those

26:54

kinds of stories. Yeah. Literally, like, in

26:57

all five degrees.

26:58

I I definitely think I definitely

27:00

think that the orphan

27:02

black audience will get a lot

27:05

out of the stories that I

27:07

was able to curate for tales beyond

27:09

time. They're they're

27:11

they're really thought provoking their they're

27:15

diverse. They they ask a lot of

27:17

uncomfortable questions. A lot of the

27:19

times, they don't always answer

27:21

them. But, you know, that's how you start conversations.

27:23

It's just by asking questions and and

27:25

that's important. And the writers we've

27:27

got are just amazing. We've

27:29

got, you know, writers like

27:31

Max Gladstone excuse me Max

27:34

Gladstone, PJL Clark,

27:36

Katholenti, Kate

27:39

Elliott, Isabel GAAP

27:42

ten nanometer review.

27:44

I mean, I can go on and on -- Yeah.

27:46

-- a lot of really

27:49

amazing talented writers. Ken

27:51

Lu, we got George

27:53

DeKay, narrated a couple of Ken Lu

27:55

story stories for us. They were in

27:57

episode two. Yeah. This horror, science

27:59

fiction, and fantasy. It's a it's

28:01

it's a fun show to work on and, yeah, I

28:03

hope people will try it. Because

28:05

there's a lot of really awesome material in

28:07

it. Someone said

28:09

28:26

28:31

28:33

hours of touching on his voice in your

28:35

ear. And then for season two,

28:37

Christian and Evelyn and Jordan

28:39

28:41

to see them Like, we have

28:43

some behind the scenes videos that that

28:45

are gonna come out and it's

28:47

pretty cool to see them back doing

28:49

their

28:49

characters. Yeah. It really is.

28:51

I mean, I gotta tell you, I you know, part

28:53

of my job is to

28:56

listen to, you know, the first draft

28:58

audio cuts. That we make of the episodes,

29:00

with the, you know, sound effects of the

29:02

music ad again, all the audio splice

29:04

together, and the rush

29:06

that I get from

29:08

seeing this story performed

29:10

by the orphaned black cast.

29:12

It never died. Every

29:15

new episode I get to listen

29:17

to, I get such a rush

29:20

hearing hearing these guys

29:22

working together

29:23

again. It's really wild,

29:24

especially knowing I had

29:25

a hand in it.

29:27

Yeah. I mean, that's pretty cool,

29:29

especially since you're a fan

29:31

of the show. Totally. This

29:33

this could

29:34

be, like, a controversial question. But do you have,

29:36

like, a favorite clown or a character that you're

29:39

Wow. But you know

29:41

I mean, there are no brands. That that's

29:44

that's the worst question to ask nor from

29:46

black fan, which is If you don't have I

29:48

know. Everybody maybe it doesn't have to be

29:51

a be a noncomb. Wow.

29:53

They're all so awesome. I mean,

29:55

you know, I mean, they're

29:58

they're just What about what about the new clones?

30:00

There's a few new

30:02

clones. We do have new clones. Right?

30:04

I mean, often black made a

30:06

tradition of introducing new

30:08

clones, you know, us aside from the

30:10

main ones in clone club

30:12

every season. So so

30:14

we we figured it was important for

30:16

us to do the same. So in season

30:18

one, we introduced Vivi

30:21

Baldez, who's an American loan

30:23

from a younger generation that was grown in the

30:25

United States.

30:29

And she you

30:32

know, the CIA agent who

30:34

is in Toronto on

30:36

an assignment before she

30:39

finds out what she is And,

30:42

you know, season one explores a

30:44

lot of, you know, her journey

30:46

in finding who she is and

30:48

and and meeting you know, clone

30:51

club and and realizing she

30:53

doesn't really like them and

30:55

doesn't really, you know, appreciate

30:57

the fact that that, you

30:59

know, they they do things

31:01

the way they do. You know, because she's looking

31:03

at at the situation from a completely

31:05

different perspective and has her own priorities

31:08

and you know, she's not she's

31:10

in season one, she's not really a

31:12

team player. And and

31:14

and basically, you know, does her own

31:16

thing. In season two,

31:19

we get to introduce a,

31:24

you know, AAAA

31:26

wellness guru who's a clone

31:28

named life Winston. And

31:31

she's this

31:34

isn't spoiling things, I think, to

31:36

say that she's she's our primary antagonist

31:38

in season two. Although, you know,

31:40

it may not be super obvious, you

31:43

know, in, you

31:46

know, at episode three where we are

31:48

right now. But it's also not much of a spoiler to

31:50

say. She's the

31:52

primary antagonist. And revealing

31:56

more and more about her as

31:59

the series as the season

32:01

unfolds is really cool.

32:03

She's got an interesting story. think

32:05

fans are gonna enjoy learning what

32:07

that story is. One other

32:09

interesting tidbit about the

32:11

clones in season two.

32:14

There are there are

32:17

about twenty between

32:19

twenty two and twenty five

32:22

different clones with

32:24

speaking roles in the season,

32:26

and Tatiana does them all. And,

32:28

you know, unsurprisingly,

32:30

of course. But She she she

32:33

manages to differentiate all

32:35

of them with with different

32:37

accents and different different

32:40

timbers and and affectations. It's

32:43

it's it's some miracle to

32:45

to to

32:46

hear. I was about to say it's a miracle to

32:48

watch, but of course. Do that.

32:50

So did you get do you do the writers give

32:52

her any kind of, like, guidance as to,

32:54

like, what the clone might sound

32:56

like? I can't remember. I I feel

32:58

like I mean, you know, this question We

33:00

we had some discussions in the writer's

33:02

room about, you know, what what what

33:05

the clone's personality what the new clone's

33:07

personalities were like and and what

33:09

their attitudes were, you

33:11

know, what their what their accents might

33:13

be. And and we,

33:15

you know, communicated those when

33:17

we transmitted the

33:19

the script for audio.

33:23

But even even so, you know, that there there

33:25

are questions that, you know, get

33:27

asked along the,

33:29

you know, later in the process that, you know,

33:31

we didn't prepare answers for us. We had to make them

33:33

up on the fly. Like, you you

33:35

know, Natalie, we need to figure out what what kind

33:37

of voice to give Natalie who is blinds the

33:39

system. And I

33:42

had to think of

33:44

you know,

33:44

what to do what

33:47

what what what she what we what does Guyana

33:49

could do to differentiate her voice that

33:51

wouldn't require a lot of effort?

33:53

Because we didn't wanna make it super hard for her

33:55

to do to do these ancillary characters.

33:58

So I I suggested, I think, on

34:00

the fly that, you know, give

34:02

her a slight southern accent, which

34:04

I I don't yeah. III I'm

34:06

I'm still pretty sure if Tatiana hasn't done

34:08

a clone with southern accent before.

34:11

So this felt, you know, like, a

34:13

good way to to differentiate this

34:15

particular character from the others. I like that

34:17

you thought that wouldn't be hard. Like, I

34:19

would be like excuse me?

34:22

Well, I mean, you

34:23

know, she doesn't have that many lines. She just

34:25

needs to give it, you know, a

34:27

a slight little Right? I mean -- Yeah. --

34:29

but yeah. Yeah. So we you

34:31

know, again, she and Natalie is an

34:33

ancillary character, not not not

34:35

a primary one.

34:37

So Yeah. Someone someone

34:38

in the comments said they like Natalie.

34:40

Yeah.

34:40

Yeah. I'm glad to hear that.

34:43

You know, III I'm

34:45

yeah. I I I'll be very interested to

34:48

know, you know, as

34:50

as the audience, you know, gives

34:52

us feedback, you know, which characters

34:55

they like which ones didn't work for them, all that

34:57

stuff, because that's that's valuable feedback,

34:59

and we love hearing

35:02

about it. But that's

35:04

something else I wanted to say about that, and I can't

35:06

remember what it is.

35:07

Yeah.

35:07

But Lots of them.

35:09

I mean, completely obviously, lots of comments talking about how great

35:11

Tatiana is, which we all agree.

35:14

Mhmm. But

35:16

do, like,

35:18

It does seem like it would be extra challenging for her to

35:21

differentiate between the clones with her voice

35:23

only when she doesn't have

35:26

the extra things. Do you feel like do you feel like

35:29

it's

35:30

I mean, it's definitely not

35:33

I don't know. I'm I don't know

35:35

how she could possibly do it with

35:37

that. Like, but, like, because people like,

35:39

even today, I someone tweeted and they

35:41

were, like, I don't understand how she's voicing all these

35:43

questions, and it's, like, literally just her voice. Well,

35:46

you you know, it's funny you should say that because in

35:48

episode three, there's a moment where, you know,

35:50

there's the clone call.

35:52

And all the different all everybody

35:54

in in clone club is talking to each

35:56

other on a on a video chat.

35:58

And just listening to them

36:00

talking back and forth in rapid

36:03

succession. It was just one of

36:05

the while just listening experiences

36:07

I'd ever had because I realized, that's the only

36:09

one person. You know? And

36:12

but but the way the way I believe

36:15

I hope I'm getting this right because, you know, I'm

36:17

not in the audio department and not not there for

36:19

the nuts and bolts of that. But the way I

36:21

I believe Tatiana has said that it

36:23

was done is that she basically

36:26

recorded all

36:28

the SAAR lines in one Yeah.

36:30

Shot and then all the Rachel lines and all the casino lines etcetera etcetera

36:33

so that she could stay in

36:35

the voice without, you know, without having

36:37

to shift back and forth. So

36:40

so I think that's, you know,

36:42

that's the way, you know, it had to work.

36:44

Because because the the idea

36:46

of her trying to switch back and

36:49

forth during a clone

36:52

call. You know? Yeah.

36:54

I mean, I I would leave to

36:56

layoffs, she could pull

36:58

it off. But she shouldn't have

36:59

to. Right? I mean, we should try to make this as easy

37:01

for her as possible. But now I'm

37:03

just

37:03

imagining her

37:06

doing it. Imagine we're doing it on TV. That would be really

37:08

good.

37:09

Wow. Someone asked bring bring

37:12

back on.

37:14

Yeah. Yeah.

37:14

Just, like, go really quick. It's, like, SNL, but, like just right.

37:17

Right. Right. Right. She needs

37:19

to get on SNL.

37:21

She definitely needs to get on. Someone said

37:22

that was one of the best scenes

37:25

in episode three. Yeah. III

37:28

agree. I liked it a lot.

37:29

And the freeze got a lot going for it. Someone

37:32

someone

37:32

else asked if there's any

37:34

Helena and Delphine scenes. I

37:37

can't remember. China Delfines scenes

37:41

or

37:41

interactions. Maybe at

37:44

the very end. Maybe

37:48

Yes. I think you're right. Thank you for thank

37:50

you for that poke. That that

37:53

yeah. There there there may be there

37:55

may be one at the very end.

37:57

You know, that of the challenging things, of course,

37:59

is that you want to come up with interesting combinations of

38:01

characters, but at the same time, there

38:03

are so many freaking

38:06

characters you know, I mean, this is a huge ensemble.

38:08

You know, even though it's a relatively

38:10

small cast because Tatiana does

38:12

so many of the roles,

38:14

it's a it's a huge ensemble cast. And, you know, we have

38:17

to we have to make sure

38:20

that, you know, we do

38:22

justice to as

38:24

many of them or all of them as we

38:27

can. So, you know, it's

38:29

not always possible

38:32

to find you

38:34

know, favorite

38:36

combinations that that, you know, we

38:38

can create a scene

38:39

for. Does it has to it has to serve the

38:41

story? And that's what we put first.

38:43

High

38:45

listeners and hello

38:48

gamers. It's Mary from the ops

38:50

team at Realm. Here was something exciting.

38:52

First off, remember one of your probably favorite shows from the

38:54

early two thousands? Yes, of course, I'm

38:57

talking about Firefly. Well, Summer

38:59

Glau aka River Tam is back with

39:02

an all new podcast, control

39:04

alt destroy. A video game

39:06

designer discovers that the game she created has stolen

39:08

as part of a top secret project and

39:10

maybe the only thing keeping the world from

39:12

plunging into war. Nations are competing

39:14

for real world resource and Team

39:17

USA hopes that bringing in the game's actual designer in secret

39:19

will give them the upper hand

39:21

they desperately need. But not everybody

39:23

is playing by

39:26

the rules. This show is perfect for fans of war games and ready player

39:28

one. It'll draw you in even if you've

39:30

never played RPG's. Control

39:32

all destroyers out now and available

39:34

wherever you get

39:36

your

39:36

podcasts. Listen and subscribe or learn more at realm dot f

39:39

m. Just a

39:41

reminder because somebody said they just came in, they

39:43

don't know what's happening.

39:46

We're talking about Orbital Black the next chapter, the

39:48

official podcast continuation. You can go

39:50

and find it anywhere you can

39:52

listen to podcasts on Apple Spotify.

39:56

Any of those places, YouTube, and

39:58

you can listen to it. And so there's

40:00

two seasons. We're in the middle of season

40:02

two right now. Someone

40:06

asked if there was, like, a clone from the I

40:08

think it was a clone specifically from the

40:10

show that you wish you

40:12

had been able

40:13

to, like, utilize

40:16

in the podcast? Well,

40:20

Crystal didn't get to make

40:22

an appearance in season Sorry,

40:25

Crystal fans. I'm spoiling that now. I would have

40:27

loved to bring her back. We managed

40:29

to work her into the

40:33

season one epilogue when we brought

40:35

back Jordan to do, like, one little

40:37

bit at the very, very end. It

40:39

was, like, a quota to

40:41

to the entire season. And and

40:44

Crystal was the clone

40:46

featured in that scene. I would

40:48

have liked to have utilized her again in season two, but we

40:50

didn't we didn't find,

40:52

you know, the we didn't find

40:54

a way to fit her in.

40:56

Which yeah. That that that's probably my

40:58

one regret in that

40:59

regard. Are there

41:01

any specific,

41:03

like, character interactions like that one person wanted to know about

41:06

Helane and Delfin. Are there any favorites that you

41:08

have? Like, that you were like, I just really wanted

41:10

to see these

41:10

two. I'm like really happy we got to

41:13

get to see these two characters I was

41:15

I was made to to

41:17

realize recently. I didn't III

41:19

can't say credit for this observation.

41:21

It never occurred to me. Before.

41:24

But I was made to realize

41:26

recently that

41:28

Rachel and Helena have never

41:31

had a scene together, at least that I can't

41:33

recall that I can recall. I would love to

41:35

see the two of them had a

41:37

scene together. But again, that's not gonna

41:39

happen in season two either, I'm afraid. But but,

41:42

yeah, that's that's that's that's an interesting

41:44

pairing,

41:45

I think. I really

41:48

liked I think it's an episode to the

41:50

casino and Rachel scenes

41:52

at the when they're on the

41:54

TV

41:54

show, like the morning show together. Yeah.

41:56

Yeah.

41:57

Yeah. Those were just fun. Yeah. I I

41:59

enjoyed, you know, when

42:01

when those sequences were

42:04

being written, I really enjoyed

42:06

reading them and listening to

42:08

them performed. I think

42:10

it was really gratifying because

42:13

we we thought, yeah, this this is an interesting

42:15

moment because, again, it's it

42:18

it it it was another

42:20

glimpse into Rachel Zabelle Duchenne, but at the same

42:22

time, it all you know, and it's a moment

42:24

of life surprise for Cassina because,

42:26

you know, she's not used to, you

42:30

know, Rachel you know,

42:32

trying to having

42:34

to her defense. You know?

42:37

It's not it's not it's not it's not

42:39

what she's known for. And but but, you know, eight years

42:41

have gone by. You know, you mentioned earlier about,

42:43

you know, the way characters have changed.

42:46

I I

42:48

wanna remind I think it's good to remind the audience that when you're doing the

42:50

story set eight years after the

42:52

characters were last seen, we have to

42:54

come we have

42:56

to expect you know, a certain amount of evolution. You know, you

42:58

wanna make and that's and that's the time

43:00

rope you have to walk, writing and and

43:02

producing a show

43:04

like this, is you want the characters to

43:06

be familiar and relatable,

43:08

but you also don't want people to think

43:10

that they've just been stagnating for a year.

43:14

You know, and remaining exactly.

43:15

Right. You know,

43:15

so it's it's a it's a fine line to

43:18

walk, but I think I think our writers pulled

43:20

it off.

43:21

I think so too. I love season

43:24

two. Right. I'm excited

43:26

for everyone to hear it. Is there you've you've

43:28

already teased a lot about season

43:29

two. Is there anything

43:31

else that we haven't talked about. Like, we talked a little bit about

43:33

casino and scenes that I Right.

43:36

I I yeah.

43:38

I I want people to to look

43:42

forward to

43:45

from really, really what I think

43:47

are really, really beautiful and and powerful character

43:50

moments for a lot of these

43:52

characters. You mentioned casino and Rachel

43:54

on television, They

43:56

have another moment coming up together that I can't wait

43:58

for people to to to listen

44:01

to. There's some great Helena

44:03

stuff coming down

44:06

the pipe. There's some awesome Sarah's

44:08

stuff. And and

44:12

and, again, Rachel,

44:14

we we made

44:16

up for, you know, the

44:18

the scarcity of Rachel in season

44:21

one. And, you know, not that she takes Socrates

44:23

into it by any stretch. She get she

44:25

does get more airtime and

44:28

what there is of her

44:30

is is pretty

44:31

awesome, I think. Somebody

44:32

asked if Art and Priyanka

44:33

are a couple in season

44:35

two. If what? If

44:37

Art and

44:37

Priyanka are a couple.

44:40

Oh, yes. They are. They are

44:42

still a couple. That's what I thought. I

44:43

thought so. Oh, there was some

44:46

mention that it's it's to

44:48

Joshua. It's it's

44:50

Joshua. That

44:52

45:24

And get to keep talking about as the season goes because there's

Deep down, we all know when something feels too good to

50:58

be true, it is.

51:00

So it might come as no surprise that in the

51:02

podcast, the Heron, there are dark sea

51:05

it's lurking beneath the shiny facade of the

51:07

sports driven boarding school.

51:10

Kelsey, a rising tennis star, is

51:12

so tangled up in a

51:14

complicated web of lies and explosive allegations regarding her

51:16

teammate that a sports psychologist is brought in

51:18

to address her issues, forcing

51:20

Kelsey to risk everything to reveal

51:22

the truth. Only to

51:24

Orphan Black: The Next Chapter

After a groundbreaking event changes the world, all clones— familiar and unknown— must face the consequences.Starring Emmy award-winning actress Tatiana Maslany, Realm presents the official continuation of the hit TV series Orphan Black. “The sequel fans deserve.” —Comicbook.com“Wildly fun, sexy sci-fi.” —Chicago Sun-TimesSince their victory against Project Leda eight years ago, the original sestras—Sarah, Alison, Cosima, and those they love—have been free to live quiet, anonymous lives. But that anonymity comes at a cost: Cosima is unable to pursue the cutting-edge science that saved her life; Sarah’s daughter Kira is suffocated by her mother’s insistence on secrecy; and Charlotte, the youngest Leda clone, questions why her family gets to survive while other, unaware clones get sick and die. Everything changes when Vivi Valdez, a CIA Agent, discovers she, too, is a clone—and goes rogue. Vivi’s pursuit of the truth brings chaos to the original Clone Club when one of them is accused of murder. To prove their innocence, they must step out of the shadows and publicly claim the secret they’ve sacrificed everything to protect. Family ties will be tested, long-lasting alliances betrayed, and the future of all clones hangs in the balance.Season 2 picks up where Season 1 leaves off, with (spoiler alert!) the Clones exposed to the general public. Now that the news is out, hundreds of previously unaware clones strive for justice and clash with anti-clone protestors. In the middle of it all, the Sestras and their families wrestle with the consequences of their actions, and what it means for their future.  Emmy Award-winning Orphan Black actress Tatiana Maslany returns for Season 2, but is now joined by original TV show cast members Jordan Gavaris (Felix), Evelyne Brochu (Delphine), and Kristian Bruun (Donnie). Orphan Black: The Next Chapter is a Realm production written by Malka Older, Madeline Ashby, Mishell Baker, Heli Kennedy, E.C. Myers, and Lindsay Smith. Listen Away.For more shows like this, visit Realm.fm
