So You Want To Make A TV Show

Join brothers Cameron and Andrew Daddo as they embark on the gripping, heartbreaking, exhausting and downright ridiculously-good-time adventure of making their very own TV show. An up close and personal look at how your favourite shows get made; featuring interviews with industry legends, Hollywood big-wigs and creatives who’ve seen their own ideas go from a late night scribble on a notepad, to the big (and little) screen.

  1. EPISODE 1

    First, We Need An Idea

    We're going behind the curtain of the creative process to show you how you can go from a blank piece of paper to someone screaming 'ACTION' on a set. Cam and Andrew will be pitching to directors, producers, talent managers and even a Golden Globe winner. But first... we need to come up with an idea to actually pitch. How hard can it be.. right?  CREDITS:  Hosted by: Cameron Daddo @camerondaddo and Andrew Daddo @andrewdaddo Narrated by: Rachel Corbett @_rachelcorbett  Executive Producer: Elise Cooper  Editor: Adrian Walton  Managing Producer: Elle Beattie  Listen for more great podcast at www.novapodcasts.com.au  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Who's Gonna Steer This Showbiz Ship?

    So we've got our idea, now how do we get it off the ground? With a Show-runner of course! The Daddos call up three of the biggest, brightest and most-likely-to-answer-when-we-called producers; Anne Robinson, Michael Petroni, and Tania Chambers. We find out what a show-runner is, and try to find one for our little show that could! And keep our chin up despite an acceptance that turned into a rejection, a reluctant acceptance and one that came with a reasonable amount of caution.  LINKS:  Follow @novapodcastsofficial on Instagram   Buy tickets to ‘How To Please A Woman’ prods.

    Let's Write This Thing!

    It’s great to have a concept and a show-runner, but we don’t have any scenes yet! Andrew and Cameron call up Sarah Smith to pick her story-telling mind about where they should go to next, before enlisting the help of Libby Butler and Joe Murphy for their very first writers room. Joe has worked on 'Younger' and 'Emily In Paris', and Libby has crafted tales for hit soap 'Neighbours' and 'Loving Captivity'. They’ve got SERIOUS skills and give the Daddos brothers a few lessons in how to make your story great (and common tropes and mistakes to avoid).  LINKS:  Follow @novapodcastsofficial on Instagram   Follow @camerondaddo on Instagram  Follow @andrewdaddo on Instagram   CREDITS:   Host: Cameron Daddo @camerondaddo and Andrew Daddo @andrewdaddo Guests: Sarah Smith, Libby Butler and Joe Murphy  Narrator: Rachel Corbett @_rachelcorbett  Executive Producer: Elise Cooper Editor: Adrian Walton  Managing Producer: Elle Beattie  Find more great podcasts at www.novapodcasts.com.au .   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Auditions & Callbacks: Let's Find Our Cast

    Getting actors to star in our TV show is going to be hard because so far our budget leaves a lot to be desired. Andrew and Cameron speak to agent Eloise Georgaris and Casting Associate Stevie Ray to find out the dos and don'ts of the casting process – including what to do if you’ve already done some of the "don'ts".

    Rachel Griffiths Makes A Valid Point

    Following the casting notes from Stevie Ray the Daddos set off to pitch the show to Alex Papps; hoping the beloved TV actor will play our lead role. Plus Cameron pulls some SERIOUS strings and managed to get the one and only Rachel Griffiths to hear our pitch for her to play our leading female role of Stephanie. The only problem is… we’ve not actually written much of that character yet! Good thing the wonderful Libby Butler is a phone call away to help out!
