Bonus episode 4. Olivia. Madagascar. July 2023. Scene B1:1OLIVIA ...and that’s it I suppose. (slightly sad smile) My final episode from Madagascar. (clears throat) I’ve had some listener questions, mostly about what will happen to the podcast now that I’ll be moving again. (smiles) Don’t worry, podcasting is practically part of my DNA after all these years. I’ll continue the Y2K23 podcast wherever I go, and Tammi and Becca will keep guesting when they can. However, if you’ve been listening to the Adalatherium podcast you know that we are handing it over to the new group of interns, and I for one will definitely be listening to hear all about their discoveries. This... It’s hard to believe this internship has only been ten months. It’s been... everything I could have hoped for. I have learnt so much. (slight laugh) Not just about fieldwork and excavation, but specifically about late Cretaceous vertebrate animals, all of which is fascinating - I feel like my mind has expanded to five times its size! (beat, more serious) And my heart, too... Being here, working here, living here, making friends... It’s been... feels trite to say, but... It changed me. Changed my perspective, mostly on myself, I think. I was talking to one of my newer friends the other day, and saying how much I would miss Madagascar, and all my friends here, when I leave. She asked if I was going home. And I... I didn’t know what to say. What is home, for me? Most people have an easy answer to that, but me? Is it Birmingham? I only lived there for three years. Ireland? Since mum moved I don’t really have a connection anymore. Brighton, maybe? Grew up there, but don’t really have any ties left there either... And I’ve still never been to Canada... Suppose I should put Edmonton on my list of places to visit, but home? No. I suppose the... fleetingness of all this is one reason my parents’ divorce hit me so hard. I don’t know if I will ever feel completely at home anywhere. (small smile) On the other hand, I can feel nearly at home in many places... It’s as though I have little pieces of home all over the world. Suppose that makes me lucky. (lets out breath) And so - all of this rambling is leading somewhere, I swear! – I don’t know if I am going home. But as I told my friend I am going somewhere that, for me, feels more like home than anywhere else. (big smile) It is finally settled. (deep breath) I’m going back to New Zealand. Back to Auckland. I’ve really missed living there. I have another internship lined up starting in August, and hopefully I can go back to uni and work toward a PhD sometime within the next few years. Of course it doesn’t hurt that both my parents are there now... As well as aunt Bri [Bree] and uncle Antonio. (quickly) Though, no, my parents aren’t back together! (smile) I could feel you starting to write that question, listeners... I’ve stopped hoping for that. Well. Mostly stopped. At this point I’m just happy they are friends, and are able to be there for each other. I am looking forward to spending time with both of them, and all of my other relatives and friends... (lighter) But before all of that I’ll be hanging out with Tammi and Becca in Paris - for two whole weeks! Yes! I am so excited! So you can expect at least one podcast episode with the three of us talking over each other and laughing a lot, maybe we’ll get some of Tammi’s old friends to join us too... (deep breath) Right. I really have to go now. Thank you so much for listening. And... (smiles) Kia ora! Scene B4:2 NARRATOR Thank you for listening to this bonus episode of Y2K: Take 2.

Bonus episode 3. Radio interview with (beep) from (long beep), a drama school in London. May 2015. Scene B3:1 (EXT. Daytime. Quiet city street. The DIRECTOR is being interviewed.) DIRECTOR Ahh… Sorry - who? Ina… Ina Fischer? Oh, yeah, I remember her. Called herself something else in those days, what was it now... Tip of my tongue... (beat) Nope. Flew away. Must have been, what... Seven or eight years ago? More?... What was that? (surprised) Fifteen? Well. Time sure does fly, doesn’t it? Must have been having fun. Eh, you know, many students passing through the school since then. I can’t… Can’t keep track of them all, now can I? Always good when they go on to make some noise in the world, though, in one way or another. Not all of ‘em in acting, mind you, a lot of ‘em in completely different fields. Writers and directors, and TV presenters... That sort of thing. (thinks) Actually I’ve had lots of famous students actually. Weren’t famous when they were students, o’course. Most of them. Actually I did teach a child star once, they were awful. Thought they were the center of the universe... What was that? (snort) Oh I won’t tell you their name, that’d be all over the tabloids in a hot minute. Hm? Nah. Keeping some secrets. Ina, though, nothing bad to say about her. She never could shake that accent, but, yeah, turns out she did all right anyway, didn’t she? These days, everyone wants authenticity, don’t they?(emphasis) Natural accents. Bit of a bummer for someone like me, you know, I mean (changes accent)I’ve got my Christian Slater voice I can, you know, put on, (changes accent) and, like, ah got mah Southern Belle (changes accent) and my New York, but nobody seems to want that anymore (changes accent) and, you know, like, I’ve got Scottish coming out of all sorts of places, my Sean Connery, I could do a female version of that (changes back to own accent) But yeah, not as much- Not as much demand for accents anymore- What was that? Right. Ina Fischer, yeah. Practically a movie star, yes? Well, good on her! Not everyone does as well as that, do they? Most of ‘em just go ‘round endless auditions and starve, y’know? S’a tough life, acting truly. Still. It’s the best fun in the world. I love it. Nothing like it. Do you know, once I played the Mona Lisa in this kind of punk rock installation in one of the royal palaces, we ripped up- you know we made it rain fish, and I was there in this beautiful gown with, you know like, like Jason’s technicolour dreamcoat but just gold, with blood all over it, and ah, the atmosphere, you could cut it with a knife… And we did. We basically just cut most things. With a knife. But- You know art is so beautiful and, all the challenges I’ve had, you know, as an actor, I- What? Ina. No. No dirt on her. (laughs) Not that I’d tell you if there were! Can’t go ‘round talking about people to the press, that’d be rude. Sorry to disappoint. (footsteps start walking away) Wait! (calls) Where are you- (calls louder) I remember now! Kat! Called herself Kat! (running after reporter, calling, out of breath) Wait! So unfit… Ina Fischer! Called herself- (reporter has stopped, DIRECTOR stops, lets out breath) Ah. Kat. (smiles) Gotcha! Haven’t told you about my play yet! It’s all about the inequality of time, and as you grow older, time goes faster, and as you’re young it’s all about grabbing life by the testes and just squeezing- No. it is not. I didn’t mean that! I mean, it’s about the hierarchy of the patriarchy with the matriarchy and are we existing now or are we living in our own tomorrow with yesterday’s dreams? You know? And we’re going t

Bonus episode 2. Selected LiveJournal entries written by Katarina Fischer from 2000 to 2002. Scene B2:1NARRATORFebruary, 2000.(Typing on 00s laptop, fades out after about two words)KATARINAI keep thinking about J. It is rare for me to be so attracted to someone. And yet a relationship between us would not be a good idea. He would try to dominate and I would alternate between stubbornly dominating back and sulkily surrendering. We’d have huge, unpleasant arguments and I’d end up witha crushed sense of self-worth. Not good. (sighs) He really is a lovely generous person but his ego is enormous.(‘enter’ key sound) Scene B2:2NARRATORMarch, 2000.(Typing on 00s laptop, fades out after about two words)KATARINA...and then he said something patronizing and condescending and I left rather than snapping. On the bus on the way home I thought about what kind of person he is. He is intelligent, generous, social and popular... But he’s also self-centered, and he has no social antennae. Doesn’t pay enough attention to other people to develop any. And it really bothers me that he keeps saying I’m so... bad. I don’t quite know what he is picking up on, but it’s not a response I’ve had before. (beat) I stand up to him. Maybe he’s not used to that. (thinks) And he puts down my taste in music and plays and everything. Proclaiming his taste superior in every way. He is so annoying!(‘enter’ key sound)Scene B2:3NARRATORJuly, 2000.(Typing on 00s laptop, fades out after about two words)KATARINA(has cried for days and has no tears left) Oh fuck. I can’t... I can’t write about this. I mean, what would I say? It happened. It is over. The dream is in pieces, shattered all over the floor. Can I pick the pieces up and put them back together? (beat) I don’t know. Feel like I’ll never be whole again. (beat) J is... He tries. And I’m sure he mourns, too, in his way. But still. It’s like the grief is all mine, it was my body that failed, and I... I want to punish it. I want to punish my useless body and I don’t know how. Everyone keeps telling me to eat, and rest, and take care of myself... I don’t want to do any of that. I don’t *deserve* any of that. My body failed me, failed my (voice breaks) child, and I hate it.(‘enter’ key sound) Scene B2:4NARRATORAugust, 2000.(Typing on 00s laptop, fades out after about two words)KATARINAI always used to say if anyone ever uses physical violence against me, I am gone. Leaving. I cannot let anyone do that to me. Ever. I wanted to hold onto that, but... (long pause) Then it got all muddled. He’s promised never to do it again. And I hit him, too, a while back. Didn’t mean to, of course. But the fact remains. I did hit him. (beat) And he forgave me. So I owe it to him to forgive him too. (sigh) Working on that.(‘enter’ key sound) Scene B2:5NARRATORNovember, 2000.(Typing on 00s laptop, fades out after about two words)KATARINA(very tired and disconnected, slowly)I thoughtMy thoughtsWere mine aloneTurns outI thoughtAll wrong(deep sigh)(‘enter’ key sound) Scene B2:6NARRATORJanuary, 2001.(Typing on 00s laptop, fades out after about two words)KATARINA(very, very sad) I want myself back. Whole. (beat) I feel broken. He hacked and carved in me to shape me to his liking and the blood is still seeping. It pools around my feet along with the unwanted parts of me that he chopped off.

Bonus episode 1. Voicemails from Jessica Shaw to Katarina Fischer in 2001. Scene B1:1 (Modem, clicks) JESS(softly) Kat! (shakes head) I mean, Ina... I am trying! Promise... Sorry it’s been a while. Still in new-baby-shock-mode. Yeah. Rachel and Liv fell asleep a little while ago, and I should probably catch some too, but you know me. No good at sleeping in the day... Plus I *should* get some writing done. (sighs) Not sure how. My brain is mush. I had all these plans... (snort) I was going to start a novel. I’ve had this idea percolating for a while, and it feels like the story needs to be in novel form. (stifles a yawn) I’ll tell you about it when I’m less tired. (smiles) If that ever happens. How much time could one tiny baby really need from two parents, right? I was... (smiles) extremely foolish. Turns out: *all* of the time. One hundred percent. More, if she could. (sheepish) I start part-time at the library next week, and I’m almost... looking forward to it? To be somewhere else and do something with other adults and not be in this constant baby fog... I’ll miss them both, of course, and still won’t get any sleep, but maybe I can- (baby starts crying in other room, JESS lets out breath, quickly) Have to run – love you! (clicks) Scene B1:2 (Modem, clicks) JESSKat! Ina! Sorry! Hi. I’m working. It’s good. I like the library. Weird not to be home though. And I MISS them. But also: Talking to other adults about things that have nothing to do with babies? Bliss. In fact, so blissful that I feel guilty. Rachel doesn’t get to do that. We joined this mummy-baby-group-thing and went together the first few times but guess what everyone’s talking about? Yeah. Babies... And sleep deprivation. And nipple pads and cloth diapers – sorry – nappies! – and baby swim classes and baby yoga. It’s this whole new weird world. Honestly I’m impressed if we manage to get the three of us dressed and out of the apartment in anything resembling a reasonable time for doctor’s appointments and the baby group – can’t really imagine trying to fit in baby yoga... How are you? I tried to listen to your latest voicemail this morning but I only had a minute at a time so it was a bit disjointed. So glad the shoot is exciting, though, I- (baby starts crying in other room, JESS lets out breath, quickly) Sorry! Oceans! (clicks) Scene B1:3 (Modem, clicks) JESS(baby is whining in other room) Ina! Kat! No – got it right! This is not a message. It’s a placeholder. Liv will not stop crying and we don’t know what to do. At some point, I will be able to finish sentences again. Complete thoughts. Wish I knew when. Oh Kat, I’m so tired. Have to get back to Liv and Rachel. Am sending Rachel over to Bree’s to get some sleep. I love you. (clicks) Scene B1:4 (Modem, clicks) JESS(exhausted, almost whispering) Ina! Dearest Ina, so sorry about the radio silence. It’s been... These past few weeks... We do everything they tell us to but it’s not enough. Liv has colic. Because, of course that’s what it is. Even in our muddled states we should have realized. It will pass, they say. Sometime. (sighs) My dear, I think we have to give up on voicemails for a while. Much as I love hearing your voice, I either am so tired I can’t focus or Liv is screaming, poor thing. I’ll write you, instead. At least with e-mails I can stop and start as many times as I need. I am so excited about your movie and everything wonderful happening in your life, and I really want to know what is going on, but I can’t handle voicemails right now. Sending you oceans and oceans of hugs. (beginning of baby cry,

My name is Tammi, and here with me is Olivia... OLIVIA(sounds as if she’s on phone all through episode) Hello! (smiles) Though in reality, we are just finishing our conversation from the final episode. TAMMIThat’s right. Only, now I’m in charge! (evil laughter) OLIVIA(laughs) All right. So what are we doing? TAMMIWell, this is our very last episode. And you’ve talked a little about this, but... Has it been like you expected? This podcasting business? OLIVIAYeah, no. Not at all. Think I’ve said before that I didn’t expect very much. I didn’t really do this to communicate with the listeners, and yet that has been the most brilliant part of it. TAMMIIn what way? OLIVIAJust... Getting people’s reactions to things. Listeners getting invested in my life, and in what I say... Also thanks to the podcast, I feel like I understand my parents better. It’s hard to stay really angry when you sympathize, you know? And I’ve got in touch with Mike, that would have never happened without the podcast, and without the help of listeners. TAMMIYeah, that is pretty cool. I wanted to ask you about that actually – what kind of contact do you see yourself having with Mike in the future? OLIVIAWe’ve sent some e-mails back and forth since we were there. I like him. And I like Scott too. But, you know, time will tell. I guess I wanted Mike to be the answer to all my problems (slight laugh) and he can’t be that. Of course he can’t. Also now everything’s out in the open with my parents and I don’t really feel that need anymore. Maybe we can visit Mike and Scott again when we fly back from Auckland in July? TAMMIYeah! And maybe stay a few days and see some more of Melbourne? OLIVIAThat would be great. So, yeah. I don’t know what we’ll be to each other. He’s definitely not my dad! TAMMINope, that’s pretty clear. OLIVIARight. I have a final recording to play, you want to do that now? TAMMIYes! Tell us about it. OLIVIASo I believe this is their final production. They were doing Sophocles’ Antigone. Do you know the story? TAMMIOnly very vaguely. OLIVIAThe drama school director explains it pretty well in the recording, but it’s a Greek tragedy about Antigone (an-TIG-uh-nee), played by Kat, who wants to rebel against the king, and in this scene she is telling her sister Ismene (is-MAY-nee), played by Jess, about what she wants to do. TAMMIOK. Sounds complicated. OLIVIAWe should just listen, it makes pretty good sense. TAMMIAll right, here we go. Scene B4:2 (dramatic music) DIRECTORYou sit there, Jess, and Kat, you’re coming in from stage left... (Rustle of scripts) Good. Whenever you’re ready. KAT (as ANTIGONE)(stiff, trying to do RP)Now you know, and you’ll quickly demonstratewhether you are nobly born, or elsea girl unworthy of her splendid ancestors. JESS (as ISMENE)(stiff, trying to do RP)O my poor sister, if that’s what’s happening,what can I say that would be any helpto ease the situation or resolve it? DIRECTORRight, stop there, please. You’re both getting stuck on the accent and forgetting the story. Let’s just work out... What is going on in this scene? KATUm,

I’ll be playing some clips, and you can tell us a little bit about your thoughts and reactions. All right?OLIVIAOh! All right. That makes me a little nervous. TAMMIYou’ll be fine. You ready for the first clip?OLIVIA(jokingly) No..?TAMMI(laughs) I’m playing it anyway! (OLIVIA laughs)(Clip from episode 3)OLIVIAAll right. That was pretty emotional. You know, I thought there would be only my Mum and her friend on these files, but other people seem to creep in as well. I haven’t decided yet if I like that or not. Will let you know.TAMMII was listening through the early episodes, and I think this, from episode three, is where you really seemed to grasp the fact that this was not just going to be about Kat and Jess.OLIVIAYeah. That was strange, listening back... I thought it would be pretty mundane, you know. Just two people telling each other their minor daily happenings...TAMMIThat’s not how it ended up at all!OLIVIANo! So many other people turned up in the voicemails, and so many things started happening.TAMMIYes – their lives were certainly eventful. But your life’s been pretty eventful too.OLIVIAAnd yours! We both moved to Auckland after all... And... In the beginning I thought the podcast wouldn’t be about me at all. I would just be the objective narrator of it all, not sharing anything significant about my life.TAMMI(smiles) That didn’t really work, did it?OLIVIANo! And I think it has to do with the voicemails, somehow, they were so personal and dramatic and everything that I couldn’t stay distanced.TAMMIMakes sense. And that sort of leads us to the second clip, from episode twelve:(Clip from episode 12)OLIVIAIn a way it’s like they are characters to me at this point. Even though I know they were actual people and of course still are actual people now, twenty years later, this world of theirs, at this time... it’s all *very* different from the people I know. We’re more the same age, and they seem much easier to relate to. I suppose... I always thought of my parents as... not old... but static. Like I’m the kid so I am doing all this growing and changing and they are done with all that. But lately they... are changing things, and changing (hesitates) as people and doing things they never used to do and... well, it freaks me out. They’re supposed to be stable, dammit! (sigh) I know that’s not fair. Or reasonable. (small laugh) But maybe listening to all these voicemails and hearing my mum as a younger, less sure and... unformed version of herself is helping me understand her a little better now as well.TAMMIIt seems the voicemails have affected how you, like, relate to your parents in the present, as well.OLIVIAThey did. (sighs) Suppose it’s all a part of growing up, seeing your parents as people rather than... well, parents. And it *has* been helpful. And sometimes really beautiful. But it’s also been hard hearing them so happy in the voicemails when they are... not happy together in the now.TAMMIYes. That must be very disorienting.OLIVIAIt is! And in a way it is wonderful to have heard them from the time they fell in love, but in another way it is also... painful, yes, an

This was originally a Patreon-exclusive bonus episode, and fits into season 1 between episodes 27 and 28.

I’m Tammi, and with me is of course Olivia...OLIVIAHello everyone!TAMMISo excited to take over again!OLIVIA(laughs) I’m glad you are! I couldn’t do this on top of everything else.TAMMIHappy to. So, a lot has been happening in the voicemails lately. OLIVIAOh yes.TAMMIHow do you feel about it all?OLIVIAI feel... relieved that I am not trying to keep so many secrets anymore. (beat) And awful about Kat’s miscarriage, of course.TAMMIYes. Did you know that would happen?OLIVIANo! I mean, I knew she doesn’t have a kid my age, but I knew nothing about the miscarriage. Not really the sort of thing she would talk to a child about, I suppose. And by the time I was grown up, it was so long ago. TAMMIBut that means you knew something would happen.OLIVIAI did. And I was waiting for it – dreading it. But I couldn’t know when it would happen. And of course I *did* think she could have had a child and then put them up for adoption, too.TAMMIOh... Didn’t think of that. So you were surprised when Kat announced she was pregnant in the voicemails? OLIVIAMore like shocked. I was waiting for my mama – Rachel – to start talking about being pregnant, and sort of mentally preparing for telling the listeners, and then all of a sudden Kat is pregnant instead. TAMMII can imagine. So, you call Rachel your mama- OLIVIAAnd Jess my mum, yeah. I don’t know if my parents planned that or if it just happened, but it’s handy for keeping them straight.TAMMI(raucous laughter) Straight?OLIVIA(joins in the laughter) Oh dear. *That* came out wrong.TAMMI(still laughing) Came out?OLIVIA(laughs again) Stop it! TAMMI(laughter winding down) OK. Fine. Where were we? OLIVIA(still a little giggly) I don’t know.TAMMI(slight laughter left) Guess it’s my job to... take over and check what we are supposed to be talking about... (paper rustling, deep breath) Right. Yes. We talked about this last episode, you found something special for us to include today, right Olivia?OLIVIAI did! In a different folder of my mum’s old computer I found some recordings of Kat and Jess from drama school. They start off serious but it’s a rehearsal so I think there’s some silly stuff too. TAMMIFun! What are they rehearsing?OLIVIAA play called House of Bernarda Alba by a Spanish playwright (paper rustles) Federico Garcia Lorca. I’d never heard of it – googled and it seems to be a pretty depressing story about a group of sisters in 1930’s Spain. But it’s all women which is pretty cool.TAMMIYeah – that must be unusual for the time. All right, let’s listen!Scene B2:2(click, dramatic music?)DIRECTOR(claps hands twice) Right, everyone, we’re doing the scene with Amelia and Martirio, everyone else can take 30, you lucky bastards. (sound of group of actors leaving, low chatting (all female), doors closing) Right. So where are you when this scene begins?KATUm... (script rustles) I’m at the table, doing some mending.JESSMe too.DIRECTORAll right, all right, good. Places. (sound of movement, wooden chairs, sitting down) Whenever you’re ready, you can... start.KAT (as AMELIA) (sighs) I no longer know if it’s better to have a fiancé or not.JESS (as M

If a movie was made of your life what genre would it be, who would play you?OLIVIAWell, right now it’d be some sort of drama, I suppose, (laughs) Or a science documentary! (TAMMI laughs) And playing me... Oh that is hard... A young Emmy Rossum maybe? With glasses!TAMMIGood choice! All right. What’s your dream job?OLIVIAWell, you know that. I’d love to go into research in the field we’re studying right now.TAMMIPalaeontology or Geology?OLIVIAPalaeontology probably... or both!TAMMIOf course.

(smiles) I’m quite quick in the mornings – I’m a morning person anyway, and I don’t fiddle too much with my hair or my clothes, and I don’t usually bother with make-up, so... half an hour tops? Including shower and breakfast.TAMMIQuicker than me! All right. What is the first thing you notice about someone when you first meet?OLIVIAOh... I don’t know... Their voice maybe? And if they seem friendly. Warm. Yeah. TAMMINot anything about their looks?OLIVIASure, if their looks are particularly striking in one way or another.
