This is the final episode of Claybourne! I’d like to thank everyone for tuning in over the last year and for being so loyal to the show! And thanks for hanging in there during the times when it wasn’t as regular as it should have been, I appreciate it! Of course I’d also like to thank Andrew Dubber and the original production team from New Zealand for letting TPN have access to the show so we could deliver it to a new audience.
For those of you who missed the beginning of the saga, you can start from here.
I’m going to try to find an easy way for you to get all 96 episodes in one hit. Maybe I can package it up into a 500Mb file?

I think if you get rid of the excessive intro and outro music, it would be about half that size. You gotta admit, 40 seconds of crap before AND after a 5 minute show is a bit much!

Thanks for bringing some great entertainment to the net.
It has been really enjoyable to have a 5 minute veg out every now and again.
Thanks again,

I’ve enjoyed this immensely and it has inspired my own work in radio drama but I have to admit I’m stunned this was the last episode. I mean, I’m fine if the guy doesn’t get the girl and not everybody winds up happily ever after but this really felt like the show just got cancelled mid-season. Is that true?
May 26th, 2006 at 4:26 pm
Robert,
Yes and no. That was the end of season one. Some resolution, but the seeds all planted for season two. Which never got made.
Shame really – we had some really good deaths planned.
Cheers,
Dubber

I want to thank the PodcastNetwork and New Zealand (radio?) for airing this show. What a fascinating story line and peek into modern Maori culture and phrases. Imagine how thrilled I was, after listening to your show for several months, to be able to visit your country in February… it was so beautiful and friendly. Thanks again (for everything) !!

Hey,
Thanks to the Podcast Network for putting this online, and to NZ radio & Andrew Dubber for allowing it. I enjoyed the series and looked forward to each new episode.
It’s fairly obvious that this finale was also the set up for the next season. Too bad it never got made.
Will the Podcast Network find any other radio episodic dramas to put together as a podcast? I’m listening to a few podcast novels but sometimes the 40 minutes necessary to dedicate to each episode can be a bit much. The 5 minutes for Calybourne was great.
Thanks again.

Man, I am crushed! There is so much more to the story! Was there ever a script made for season two or anything at least? What an excellent story and such hard work to make and convert, thank you all involved.
May 26th, 2006 at 11:26 pm
Thanks again for this great series! I’ll be finishing up with it this weekend. For those of you that use the OTTER program to help catalog and tag series like this, I’ve put the final touches on the log and uploaded it to Rapidshare. Here’s the link http://rapidshare.de/files/21431091/Clayborne.txt.html
It’s a very small .txt file. I’ve listed 1 and 2 as separate episodes even though they were posted here as a single file. Does anyone know if that’s the way they were originally broadcast?

Anyone have the season 2 in written form? With so many podcasts talents out there I think that season 2 could be produce in a Podcast form and be release to the web. I really enjoy the show and was really sadden by its ending that I had consider writing an ending myself. Do you know if someone has what I hope is the final season? I am sure I am not the only one that can not live with the suspence not to know the end.
Your Claybourne Fan,
Robert B.

love the show sorry to see it end with so many questions
hanging. thanks for airing it here.
May 27th, 2006 at 12:21 am
One of the hallmarks of really good fiction is whether or not we are compelled to finish the story in our own imaginations. And by that measure, this one has been a resounding success. Thanks much and mega kudos to both the original and current talents who brought us Claybourne. It’s been a fabulous run.
May 27th, 2006 at 12:44 am
Thanks TPN for the incredible show and for getting the last several episodes out at a timely manner. I appreciate the effort, keep it up! Thanks Mr. Dubber for giving us a great story and I wish it was continuing on.
Good wishes!

Thanks for providing Clayborne for us to enjoy. I have looked forward to each episode and I will miss the weekly fix. I was hoping for more resolution, but I guess that was planned for season 2.
Is there an email address or someone at New Zealand radio we could contact. Might not do any good, but I’d send them my request.
Thanks Mr. Dubber for your time and efforts. I enjoyed it.
May 27th, 2006 at 5:07 am
Thanks to everyone at the PodcastNetwork for posting this series! It was addicting and fun and I know I’ll listen to it again, especially if you really *can* put all the eps into one file!
I thought for sure there was another episode or two after this one; it feels like we were just left hanging. So now that I know this was actually meant to be a two season show, I’m a little bit more satisfied, I guess.
Any chance that season two will get made?! :)
May 27th, 2006 at 6:54 am
This was the last one? I’m confused. We didn’t seem to get many answers.
May 27th, 2006 at 11:34 am
Hummmmm. Okay, this finale sucks. Sorry, but it’s not a finale, it’s a cliffhanger. If Season 2 never got made, then this is all pretty pointless. And I wish I had known from the start that I would never hear the end of it. I probably would not have bothered!
Still, I must say it is a good show. I also agree that cutting the intro/extro musics would reduce the total size by about 40%. And make for better listening too…
May 27th, 2006 at 1:18 pm
I’m sorry to see it end, but more so to hear that no more was ever made. It’s a shame, really. I wonder what would be required for someone else to come along and pick up the pieces.
As an aside, I think the “waiting” part of the equation really makes this show. Having it all as one big file would be… different. It seems to me like something would be missing.
However, unless you started out from near the beginning as I did, you’re stuck with downloading them all and then just plowing through them. Any interest in having our system at http://podiobooks.com handle subscriptions? It would allow all new subscribers to enjoy the show the way it was designed: episodic and starting from show #1.

Noooooo! That can’t be it, it just can’t be! Does Karen find the money? Does Mike skip town with Karen? Does Auntie Queenie stay alive? What was Janene’s secret? Is Thompson getting back with his wife? Is Delilah hooking up with the Toneefa? Why is Helen part of the computer?
Oh, man, I am bummed now. I have to go have some ice cream. Excuse me.
May 28th, 2006 at 4:17 am
Thanks for posting. It was great!
May 29th, 2006 at 1:56 am
Count me in with the rest of those that are disappointed about the lack of a season two, but at least it was a fun ride while it lasted. Thanks a lot for putting this up so that the rest of us outside of New Zealand could get the chance to listen to this great show.
May 29th, 2006 at 6:29 pm
Thanks Andrew Dubber and TPN for making this series available. I really hope that for those who have never experienced serials before, it has been a pleasureable experience. There is so much great OTR (Old Time Radio) shows out there which have never been heard in the past 50 years because radio stations believe that nobody wants to listen for longer than 5 minutes. There is a lot of Australian and New Zealand productions that the Rights Holders are holding on to because Radio Stations tell them the listeners don’t want it.
Its up to listeners or potential listeners to say otherwise.

What a fantastic production… I no longer have such motivation to click the iTunes update button every few hours!
If only there was a Season 2, I thought a few more strings would be tied up but there weren’t really!
Thanks for the effort gone into doing this, and thanks Andrew for the fantastic production.

I read somewhere on the Web that Jim McLarty (Thompson) appeared in Peter Jackson’s King Kong as an unnamed photographer. Can anyone else verify this information?
May 30th, 2006 at 11:05 pm
Bob that seems to be confirmed -> IMDB link.
May 31st, 2006 at 12:57 am
Finally caught up and reached the end. I’ve loved the story and like others, wish season 2 had been made. Thanks for letting us share it.
May 31st, 2006 at 10:25 am
Okay – you want to know what happened next? I’ve scratched my head and done my best to reconstruct the storyline we had planned – and I’ve posted it at my blog.

Hope that fills a few gaps for you.
Cheers,

Any chance of a zip file or other archive containing all the episodes being released soon? Queuing up 90+ downloads is not something I look forward to attempting. A single file would make it so much easier.
June 22nd, 2006 at 7:11 am
Wannabe, I’ve been trying to think up a good way to do this. A 500mb file seems a bit crazy. I guess we could bittorrent it though. Any other ideas on how to get it to you?
June 22nd, 2006 at 7:12 am
of course, can’t you just set your podcatcher to grab all of the episodes? that wouldn’t be easier?
June 22nd, 2006 at 11:37 pm
When I add the feed to iTunes (either from the iTunes music store or from the button on this page) it only lists episodes 62-96. If I subscribe to “http://claybourne.thepodcastnetwork.com/category/podcast/feed/” instead, I get to start at episode 57 instead of 62. If you can point me to a feed that contains episodes 1-96, I will try it.
June 23rd, 2006 at 9:44 am
Thanks for pointing that our Wannabe. I’ve got my tech guys looking into it. Looks like it might be a WordPress bug. I’ll post something up here as soon as I figure out the solution! :-)
June 24th, 2006 at 8:44 am
OKay Wannabe, I think I’ve fixed the feed problem. I’ve increased the number of feeds in the syndication to 110 which should cover everything. Let me know if you still have problems!
June 24th, 2006 at 11:10 am
Sorry to be a bother, but it seems that WordPress only updates the feed based on any changed settings if a new post is made or an old post is edited. If you open one of your old posts to edit it and click save without actually making any changes it should update the rss feed.
June 24th, 2006 at 11:51 am
Wannabe, I did that for you just now. On our forum, it looks like it’s working for others, although I admit, I can still only see up to #62.

June 24th, 2006 at 12:28 pm
Thank you. It seems to working now. The raw xml for the rss feed at claybourne.thepodcastnetwork.com/feed/ now shows all the episodes and the various feed readers I have tried list all the episodes.
August 24th, 2006 at 4:00 am
So is the plan to join all 96 mp3’s into one massive mp3, or put all the individual mp3’s into one zip archive (or something like that)? I myself would prefer keeping all the files seperate. Either way, if you go the bittorrent route, I’ll help seed.
August 25th, 2006 at 10:38 pm
That was brilliant. I’ve just listened to the entire 96 episodes in 3 days. Absolutely fantastic. Thanks for the hours of entertainment.
August 27th, 2006 at 11:25 am
pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee i have heard #1 and #2 ………..helpppppppppp i need all those that follow :(
September 1st, 2006 at 7:12 am
I was one of those who heard the Radio 4 piece promoting Claybourne. Have been waiting for drama podcasts for ages (hopefully all the Radio 4 plays at some point) so spent about 2 hours downloading all the episodes. After 3 days I am up to episode 27. It’s really good drama – & w/ noise cancelling headphones you can really hear great stereo effects. Thanks very much!!
September 18th, 2006 at 1:06 pm
I bought a CD with many episodes some years ago from mp3.com (?). Many thanks for making the 96 episodes available as downloads. It has been a real pleasure listening. Surely this type of production would have an extremely large audience now that MP3 players are so common. Is it possible that the authors will produce more of these genres? I imagine that as well as bringing great pleasure, they could earn a great deal. I would be prepared to pay for such good audiofiction and I am sure that many others would. Thanks again.

I’ve gone through about thirty episodes now. Looking forward to the next sixty-odd. I though it interesting to compare Claybourne to the new Podshow Shadfalls. (http://bloggershepherd.blogspot.com/2006/10/shadowfalls-and-claybourne.html).
