A radical departure from the usual biting satire that folks subscribe to A Rational Fear for. Long Head is refreshingly delightful.</p><br><p>How did we manage to book Millie? Well Dear Listener — I am the executive producer of the series — so this email is what the National Anti-Corruption Commission would call a gross compliment of interest</p><p><br></p><h3><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@thisislonghead/video/7434038935963192583" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">EPISODE 1</a> » <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@thisislonghead/video/7434790444388715783" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>EPISODE 2</strong></a><strong> | </strong><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@thisislonghead/video/7436645471155801362" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>EPISODE 3 </strong></a><strong>| </strong><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@thisislonghead/video/7437326970708315400" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>EPISODE 4</strong></a><strong> | </strong><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@thisislonghead/video/7439344101926980871" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>EPISODE 5 </strong></a><strong>| </strong><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@thisislonghead/video/7439852891025837320" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>EPISODE 6</strong></a></h3><h4><br></h4><p>Millie and I have been working on this show since 2022, and we’re so stoked that the world can finally see it. Of course — I did nothing really, mainly admin — we actually made it with a really talented team of animators including Dale Anderson, Michael Harris, and animation director Annabelle Ots.</p><br><p>And we were lucky enough to record the sound and have it expertly crafted and designed by Matt Perrott’s Mighty Sound in Sydney.</p><br><p>The whole series was generously paid for by … you the taxpayer. More specifically Screen Australia supported the project — thank you, Screen Australia!</p><p>We’d love you to <strong>watch</strong> <strong>it</strong>, and <strong>share it</strong> with your friends and family who are on TikTok. And if you know any big wigs in showbiz, please <strong>send it</strong> to them too.</p><br><p><strong>WATCH IT ON</strong><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@thisislonghead" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong> TIKTOK HERE</strong></a></p><br><p>We think it could be the next Bluey — we want American kids to walk around talking like Sam Campbell.</p><p>Cheers,</p><p>Dan Ilic</p><br><p>🤑 CHIP IN TO OUR PATREON https://www.patreon.com/ARationalFear</p><br><p><br></p> <p>If Patreon isn't your thing, and Apple Subscriptions are too Appley — chip in with A-Cast here: <a target="_blank" rel="payment" href="https://plus.acast.com/s/a-rational-fear-1">https://plus.acast.com/s/a-rational-fear-1</a>.</p>
