Author: UberDuo Podcast Network December 4, 2017 Duration: 1:41:22
Sarah had a wonderful catch-up with the ever-exciting audio supermen known as Fred Greenhalgh and Bill Dufris about their adventures in recording the X-Files this summer, with the well known television acting leads (David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson) resuming Mulder and Scully in full awesome audio mode. Find out handy tips on directing actors, working on location and in studio, and some elements of what the chaps have planned next. We look at how they got onto Wondery Network, and who inspires them too (and we ponder what exactly is a 'Dirky Sheen?'!

Now full-on focusing on creating more, once you've listened to this, do check out their forthcoming audio projects on Dagaz Media, and past shows including The Cleansed, Lock and Key, and Will's groovy podcast Sight Unseen.

This show has James Oliva in the guest-host seat and he updates us on his Whats The Frequency adventures. Sarah probes him on scene transitions, character dynamics and working with actors....and...what's next!
