Background
The podcast was originally intended to be a film, which had a video trailer released in 2011, but creating a film was too expensive so the creators considered making a graphic novel or radio program instead.[1][2] They decided on creating a podcast, which debuted March 16, 2016 exclusively on Howl.fm.[3][4] The show was released on February 1, 2017 for free on other platforms.[5] The podcast was a 24 episodes series.[6] The podcast stars Jemaine Clement as Lord Joseph Banks and the show was written and produced by Duncan Sarkies, Stephen Templer, and James Milne.[7] Milne, also known as Lawrence Arabia created the music for the podcast.[8] The podcast is a story about the British botanist Joseph Banks in a parallel world with an alternate history.[9] The show contains elements of historical fiction, fantasy, adventure fiction, and comedy.[10][11]
Reception
Karl Puschmann wrote in The New Zealand Herald that the podcast is a "lavishly produced, epic-sized, comedy-adventure".[12] Diana Brown wrote in Black Information Network that the show is "Lush, fantastical, and very funny".[13]
