  • Summary

  • 'He will fail.... A proper English tw*t who drives people to the edge of reason at every turn... Unlikeable, long-winded, a waste of space'. Lady Hovis (Brian's Mother), before her Kidnapping. 'She's orrible, yet ee's gonna try and save her!  Ees got a heart of gold that lad.... His mum's bein held ransom by The Downton Knappers, coz they think ees rich coz we live in this big house.  But ee got nothin.  House crumblin, land worthless, (Bernard the butler and I just live here for the free potatoes).  Now Brian's gonna risk life and limb to try and raise her ransom, probably coz I showed him too much Indiana Jones as a kid. You put Brian down a mile-deep well, ee'l start climbing. Although his upper body stregth is very very poor'. Alf the Gardener, just now. 'If he can find her twin sister, Aunt Hester, retired treasure seeker and international criminal, he might have a chance... If he can't find her, he'll die dramatically.  And soon I'd think'. Bernard the Butler. Support Brian at http://lowfatradio.com

    Brian, Hester and Eustace think they may have found the location of the pebble.  But have they? Listen to find out. That's how this works. Notes: Brian Hovis, like all who appear with him, is a fictional character.  I know!  Amazing that this isn’t a documentary right?  Here are the credits behind the curtain of magic and lies that is entertainment.   Written by Hywel Evans and Russell Gomer Edited by Hywel, zen-guided by Russell. Songs by Hywel with lyrics from Hywel and Russell. Performed, every part, every-single-voice-you-hear by Mr Ian Conningham.   Programmes used, should you be nerdy enough to care, include Logic Pro X and an increasingly slower-by-the-day Macbook on a couch.   Scott Lee Cupp wrote the wonderful main theme and is called ‘Africa’ which we purchased for use in our free podcasts, from the great website http://www.audiomicro.com/   Hywel Evans dawbed out the other music you hear.  Far inferior to Scott’s work.   Sound Effects: We made some sound effects ourself, used some in the Logic Pro and Garage Band / iLife library, and got many from the wonderful freesound.org a great website for podcast makers providing free content in exchange for credits.   All sounds were amended in some way during mixing, and the licence applicable to most but not all is here  https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/   All sounds have been edited into a large story using the edit techniques needed to tell that story.  As such some sounds have been changed, and the owners of these sounds are not necessarily endorsing the use by Brian Hovis’ creators.     These things have to be said.  Essentially, people who made free sounds on freesound.org have done so with love, care and attention, and we have taken those like monkeys plucking coconuts and tried amidst our banging and crashing around to and apply the same rules of love care and attention to create a free story for everyone.   Here come the credits they deserve, you will see a description of the sound, their username, and a link to the sound on freesound.org.  Hopefully this will mean you can use them and they are receiving the credit they deserve!   Tim crashes through the trough of water original_sound https://freesound.org/people/original_sound/sounds/376819/ and kevinkace https://freesound.org/people/kevinkace/sounds/66769/ and Rocktopus https://freesound.org/people/Rocktopus/sounds/233415/     Distant collapses.
