Dead Drunk Detective: Hook, Line, and Stinker

This post is about 'Hook, Line, and Stinker', the series three premiere of Dead Drunk Detective. You can listen to it here.

Series three sounds a little different. Well done to any armchair detective who immediately spotted the reason why. There's no studio audience!

After two series of performing these live, we decided to go in studio. While we always left room for additional pickups during the theatre shows, we had a tight schedule. Relocating to the Podcast Pioneers base gave us the luxury of time. I can relax a little, knowing we won't get booted out if we run late.

One consequence of losing the audience reaction is the episodes are a little shorter. I do not consider this a downside - the dialogue is snappier because the back and forth repartee now flows uninterrupted.

I had to do a rewrite at the recording because one of the countries I picked for Davy Jones' list of enemies was landlocked.
