This week, Chloe and Holly sit down for a techy chat with RITCHIE JAY ALLUM of Studious, and get their learn-y hats on. Ritchie's wealth of knowledge and down-to-earth nature makes this ep one to tune into if you're looking for trustworthy advice on all things technical when it comes to VO.

First up, even though they said they wouldn't, the ladies get a little chatty about ChatGPT and it's uses in the kitchen (?!) before diving into the interview where they get a bit more of an insight into just who Ritchie is with everyone's favourite NEW segment - Quick Fire You! Then they explore a day in the life of Ritchie, home studio setups, Source Connect and just how to friggin' connect the goddamn thing, choosing the right microphone and then some super insightful life advice as well. It's got it all, folks.

We are so grateful to have had Ritchie of STUDIOUS FAME AND GLORY on our humble little poddy, so we thank you for listening and encourage you to always make that extra....evaluation ;)

It's sound bite time! (aka time for Holly and Chloe to have a chat). Warning! Some explicit content, so put your ear pods in if little people are around!

Much to Chloe's dismay the segment 'One work win, one life win and one moment that made me feel human' is now a WHOLE (reoccurring) episode.

If you are scared of foot talk....don't listen BUT if you want to be part of the 'is a social media presence worth it' convo then....TUNE IN.

When the ladies finally get on with the episode, they discuss moving back into work after a break, what a 'rolling various' is, self marketing/having a social media presence and being ok with changing your mind regarding employment.

Remember to DM the girls with your weird body parts (no pics please!)

It's our first interview for 2023 and we are so excited to talk to the one and only Dan Brumm!

Dan Brumm is known worldwide as the voice of Uncle Stripe in Bluey..... but we find out in this interview that he is SO MUCH MORE.

For over 15 years Dan has been voicing content for Australian and International markets......from TVC and Radio campaigns, to Corporate Narrations and Documentaries, Dan sure knows how to add warmth and a down-to-earth sincerity to any brand. Brummy is based in Brisbane and before launching himself head first into voice-over he was, and still is, a master of sound design.

In this interview, Dan and Chloe bond over their shared insights into life with 3 kids and how they are both leaning heavily into time away from alcohol to help them be better parents. Dan takes a walk down memory lane as he meets gorgeous little Charlotte and shares some great memories from when his little people were even smaller.

Holly and Chloe ask Dan all about his work on Bluey and he shares the commonalties he and Uncle Stripe have in 'Dadding'... it includes a lot of games where you can lie down haha. Dan shares how he got into sound design, his love of music and the enjoyment that he gets from the narration work he does on Gem Hunters Down Under.

If you are keen to try some of the meditations that Dan discusses, look up 'Sam Harris' who has a podcast called 'Making Sense' and a waking up meditation app called "Waking Up" (makes sense! haha).

We thoroughly enjoyed learning more about Dan and can't wait to catchup with him in Brissy!

Have we got an extra special episode for you today? Absolutely! Especially if you're into birth stories, oversharing and lots of detail. Just kidding, it's not that bad. But in today's episode, Holly shares the story of how her beautiful (now 6 month-old) baby girl, Charlotte, came into this world - and how it changed her forever.

Becoming a parent has to be one of the most transformational events one can go through. It can be gruelling and challenging and soul-wrenching and magical all at the same time. Today's episode is about bonding through shared experiences and knowing that, no matter what you may be going through, you are never alone.

A little message from Holly:
"Being completely honest, the last few months have been incredibly challenging. Not only have I been navigating the transition into motherhood, but there have been a number of other life stressors that have popped up along the way. Always the way, right - when it rains, it pours? I felt wonderful recording this episode and sharing this special story with Chloe, and all of our listeners...and then I descended, once again, into a period of low mood, stress, anxiety and great overwhelm. It is at this point that I sought professional help. I have since continued riding the rollercoaster of highs and lows that come with life and parenthood - just with a little more support. When I was in the depths, the last thing I felt like doing was seeking help. Having since done so, I finally feel like I am coming out the other side of this fairly dark period. I guess I just wanted to share that, even though this story is shared with joy and happiness (because Charlotte truly is divine!), I also acknowledge the depth and complexity of this experience and the toll that it, and motherhood, has taken on me. It is not always rainbows and sunshine and unicorns, and if you are struggling right now, you are not alone. I am so lucky and grateful to have such caring loved ones around me who have helped me when my world wasn't quite so bright. Thank you to those people. And thanks to you for listening today."

What's that? It's been 5 months since our last episode? How da f**k did that happen?!

Thank you for being patient with us whilst Holly was off having a beautiful baby and Chloe made a big move with her family. Life's been pretty hectic, so tune in for a big ol' catch up as the ladies chat about what's been happening in their lives and the perspective changes that come with events such as these.

Chloe and Holly cover a lot of ground in this one, from babies, love and marriage, to filling your cup, the "guilts" and The Third Space (watch the TED talk here).

Please get in touch, we'd love to hear from you! Let us know who you'd like to hear from.
