Episode 2: Our 1970s television shows (part 1) Episode

Greetings fellow Sackvillians and friends of Sackville!

Welcome to Episode 2 of Stories from Sackville.

For those of you who don’t know, we now have a Facebook page for the podcast. It is a closed group which just means that one of us will have to approve your joining. Have to protect ourselves from those ubiquitous bots (Russian or otherwise). So feel free to look us up. As always, you can shoot us a message at the e-mail address below.

The first episode seems to have been a success (except for Steve’s failure to edit out the loud ringing phone – also it should be pointed out that he rather embarrassingly mispronounced the name of Doctor Who’s companion as Audric rather than Adric: he is rightfully chagrined).

We have been extremely pleased with the initial response and thanks to all of you who have commented so far. Please continue so to do.

In today’s episode, we begin a two part discussion about some favourite television shows from the 1970s. It’s a good way to ease in the podcast. It also allows Steve to show off his editing skills by putting in clips. We’ve decided to pick four television shows (we’re not gonna tell you which ones – you’ll have to listen); we’ll talk about two in this episode and the other two in Episode 3.

We decided to break them up because we realized that talking about all four in one episode would make an episode that was far too long. We’ve agreed that the episodes will be about 48 minutes long when we have clips. That is about 30 minutes of us talking about the shows and then the clips we’ve decided upon.

We hope you enjoy the shows we’ve chosen and our discussions of them. Of course, there will be more episodes like this in the future.

We’ve begun a list of topics for the future. If you have suggestions for topics, please send them along. We can say WHEN we’ll get to them, but we will put them on the list. Thank you to those who have already done so. They are on the list (or will be shortly).

You can e-mail us with questions, suggestions, or comments at: storiesfromsackville@gmail.com.
