A: OK this debauchery of a website stems from an evil seed planted way back in the early 90's. Back then, it was a lot more difficult to get access to production quality kit and distribute anything you'd made. This was before big hard drives, swanky free software and mp3's (yes, there was such a time). The only way anyone could make a half way decent production was using a mixing desk the size of a grand piano and a 24 track. As a result, to OWN or HAVE access to this kind of kit, you had to be one of 3 things;
1) Employed in a place where it all was just laying around.
2) Be rich beyond the dreams of mammon.
3) Get on a media production course.
Me and my bold band of brothers resided in the third category and for at least 3 years where we collectively tore the world a fresh one. Then one sad day the course ended and so did our access to the kit. Have you ever tried making a production with 2 dry sticks and a bank balance of negative numbers? It's not fun, or indeed possible by any conventional means..... But I digress.
Sure, some of us slipped into category one but not many, even then they were all slaves to "the man". Much talent was wasted and there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth! But No Longer! Technology has caught up with our considerable untapped talent (and it only took ten years! WooooHoooo bargain!) and during this stage of re-gathering the brethren, we will be treating you (our errant audience) to vintage treats and new culinary delights of audio.
We're back, and this time we have computers with ram and sizable hard-drives, oooo luxury.
Q: I still don't get it.
A: We. Make. Audio. You. Download. Audio. You. Laugh. You. Come. Back. And. Download. More.
Q: I've got this great idea for.....
A: WAIT! Right there! We are all of us a myriad of different stories bubbling to be told. This is good, but if a bunch of unemployable wasters like us can do this then I'm sure you can too. There are dozens of forums out there catering for audio makers and solo podcasters. That said we don't want to seem uncharitable so send an email to tek support and we'll point you in the right direction at the very least.
Q: I know you! (Or) I like your stuff! Can I do something?
A: I'll never knowingly turn down slave labour in the pursuit of art. Fair warning however by helping out you relinquish all rights to your voice clips and/or scripts you help out on (never give anyone your best ideas). We can't do with being sued some way down the line, we have kids to support. If at some point we do manage to make any of this pay and your in it or helped write it then we'll have a chat about it. This is fundamentally a labour of love, and no way to become the next Agar Khan.
Q: Do you have anything to do with pharmaceuticals or medical products?
A: There's always one isn't there? I never sell on my repeat proscriptions, if that's what you mean. Isotope was a nice easy to remember name, and I'd already taken 8 hours designed the web graphic
so yeah, it stays.
Q: I dont think (that sketch/blasphemic commentry/deepy offensive writings/nob gag/etc) was very funny.
A: Hell, can't please all the people all the time.
Q: Are you taking the piss mate?
A: I would need a steady hand and a catheter in order to do so. Seriously though in order for any joke to exist in the universe it must have a point from which it's travelled. Cause and effect you might say. So yes, at times it's quite possible we'll be taking the piss out of something that someone somewhere personally finds not to be a laughing matter. That said, all our content is rated according to offensiveness (and just to be on the safe side, the entire feed is marked explicit on i-tunes), so you were given the option to stay chase and innocent. You chose to get busy with your mouse, as Al Pacino so aptly put it; "free will, it's a bitch."
