This is an animated gif of 6 people playing a table top game online in a video call. Three of these people are blurred, but the blur fades away to reveal their identities. They are Fiona, Hamilton, and good old Willem- the best guests on the backwater bastards podcast! (The other three are just us old bastards, Tay, Dick and Dan, obviously posing within an inch of our lives as you do.)

We’re a podcast telling stories within stories that we make up on the spot.

People always ask where they should start- and the answer is ALMOST ANYWHERE- because sometimes we stop the train and step outside of the story, to make a fully realized NEWS alert about it, 4 fun:

We ain’t fast at much, but DANGIT, WE ARE QUICK ON THE IMPROV.

Our little crew has been together since 2018- and that chemistry is AIR TIGHT. (Just ask the #NZWebFest that nominated us for best cast! And then some!)

We’re a small podcast with real big heart. Come listen:

It ain’t all peaches and potatoes in space, alright??

Sometimes, it gets dark.

(We’re a podcast telling an improvised story about a found family of friends trying to survive in space. It’s funny 80% of the time. Till it ain’t.)

We’re crazy about sound design. Beautiful music, ambience that makes you feel like you’re here. Making things visible in the mind- that are invisible to the eye.

Today, it’s a wrestling match. Tomorrow?

(We’re a podcast telling a story! Dip your ears in for a moment:)
