Human/Ordinary

A day late with this one, which pretty much exposes me as breaking my own rules. The idea was that I'd upload at the end of the two weeks whatever I had. But truth is, I didn't have anything.I recorded a bit of audio at the festival where I was, and so there's some music in the background I don't have permission to use. I think there's far greater crimes occurring and so I've decided to leave it in. You will also hear the start of a set by musician Angie McMahon. I have not got permission to use this either. Maybe as compensation, you could check out her music. Slow Mover is an incredible song.Thanks to my Meredith Mates who keep making me laugh and still laugh at my jokes. Here's to 26 more festivals.You can hear more of my stuff here.I'm taking a bit of a break from this podcast over the summer. I'll make some things when I can. Have a safe break, enjoy your time with friends and family, and be excellent to each other.

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.And you can find more of my work here.

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.Check out more of my stuff here.

This is a little story about a weekend in the city with my son. I realise some things about getting older.Writing, sound design and music by me.More of my work here.Please rate and review if you have the time.

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 CavazziniRecording assistance by Rojita Adhikari rojitadhikari.wordpress.com/ Original music by Kent SutherlandOther music by Lennon Hutton - Leather Feather (Epidemic Sound); Monplaisir & Cie - Estampe Galactus Barbere Epaulé Giraffe (Free Music Archive); Sea of Land - The Big Blue (Free Music Archive); Blue Dot Sessions - The Air Escaping (Free Music Archive); andBorrtex - Going Undercover (Free Music Archive)Sound effects from soundsnap.com, with special credit for recordings to Charlie Atanasyan.+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +Human/Ordinary is produced in Melbourne and Sydney by Sam Loy, Mic Cavazzini, Cinnamon Nippard, and May Jasper.For more on the show...Website: humanordinary.comFacebook: facebook.com/humanordinarypodcastTwitter: @humanordinarypc
