Hello, and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish, a weekly podcast this week coming to you live from the Sydney Opera House.
My name is Dan Schreiber, and I am sitting here with Anna Chazinski, Andrew Hunter Murray, and James Harkin, and once again we have gathered around the microphones with our four favorite facts from the last seven days, and in no particular order, here we go.
Starting with you, Andy.
My fact is that the BBC has sound effects, including indisposed chicken, more or less normal chicken, standard orgy, and comedy orgy.
Now it would be very remiss if we went to play for you some of these tonight.
Have you got the clips?
I've got clips alright, so yeah, they've got a sound off archive of 16,000 effects, and so here's indisposed chicken.
How often are the BBC playing out sitcoms where they enter indisposed chicken?
And indisposed to do what?
I don't know, it's sounding pretty distressed, though.
So there's also, no we've got standard orgy here, just as a bass line.
I think I can hear a few chickens in there.
There's definitely a cock and vell somewhere.
Terrible.
And here, because I know we all want to hear it, is comedy orgy.
Ah!
The BBC, ladies and gentlemen.
And the amazing thing is, they've made this open to the public.
This whole archive, 16,000 effects, and you can download them, and for non-commercial reasons you can use them.
And it's a fantastic archive, it's got such funny stuff.
