Episode 100 is here and if you listen to just one episode of this podcast it should be this one. We recorded a bit of the normal stuff at the start, with clips from the podfest party near the end. This will be a longer than usual podcast.But first off we cover how Spark Innovation Unconference went for Chris and how the 48hr filming weekend went with Sam.Chris yet again does not know what is going on in the world, so he is surprised that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are getting a divorce, he thought it had happened years ago.City Fitness are talking about banning posers as body building people can intimidate others at the gym apparently.Chris is keen to get some all bird shoes and explains what they are, but the price may have put him off a bit.The short film we helped out with Only Humane is going to get it’s worldwide premiere at The Arohanui Film Festival late October, so we talk about that.AND…………. We held an event called Podfest to celebrate our 100th episode. Some of us may have got a little drunk, skip to 22 minutes in to hear the amazing audio that is podfest.Links Allbirds NZ ShoesArohanui Film FestivalUnderwear Workout Sparked Posing Ban at CityFitness Gyms Hosted on Acast.
