Episode #311 Tuesday the 1st of March,2016 at 10pm in the JOY studios Melbourne Town. Sonja The Squeamer talks to 2 awesome guests from The Night Terrace team John Richards and Petra Elliott in the studio chatting about Season 2 of the : ‘Award winning science fiction audio comedy series starring Jackie Woodburne ( Neighbours’ Susan Kennedy) as a retired scientist who is annoyed when her house unexpectedly starts travelling through time and space.’

In season two, Jackie Woodburne returns in her role as Anastasia Black, with her companions Eddie (Ben McKenzie) and Sue (Petra Elliott) and an impressive guest cast. Together they solve the mysteries of wherever the house lands them: other worlds of the far distant future, vital points in Earths’ history. Forever faced with the time-travellers age-old dilemma: do we interfere, or no?

Night Terrace is quite unique to the Australian arts landscape, and while it could best be compared to a podcast or radio play, it’s far more than that! The series of eight half-hour episodes has a strong series arc, full sound production, and a guest cast that is an unexpected melting pot of Australian and international talent. Providing comedic social commentary on many topical issues, it’s becoming quite a popular medium of entertainment.

Night Terrace features some of the best and most-loved tv and film performers from comedy, drama, and sci-fi. The eclectic ensemble for episode one, includes Collette Mann (Prisoner), Louise Jameson (Doctor Who, Eastenders), Ian Smith (Neighbours), John Clarke (Clarke and Dawe) and Gary Russell, script writer on BBC’s Doctor Who and Torchwood. (You may be aware he’s currently in Australia producing a new children’s sci-fi cartoon series for ABC Television.)
