Hi everyone. We're doing this a little differently this year. You won't be able to hear the episode in the background of the podcast.

So in order to sync up the show with what we're saying, you should pause now and hit play as soon as the main titles start.

Hey everyone, welcome to the Outlander Podcast.

This is episode 309, The Doldrums, written by Shannon Goss.

I'm here, well I am Matt Roberts, executive producer, and I'm here with Tony Grafia Executive

producer. Good morning everyone. All right, it's morning. I think this is the

earliest podcast we've ever done. It's like nine o'clock in the morning. I can't believe either of us are here this early, but

their superstitions and this is an episode about superstitions.

so here we are you notice the main titles have changed slightly. We added a few more elements in.

Some drums, some Caribbean sound. Bear did a great job with that. I love that changed the shift in.

There's some ships going on.

The Artemis.

Ocean and so we'll be mixing it up a little bit

to come the second half of the season.

This was actually a pretty big undertaking for us to completely move the unit to well we didn't move the unit we moved a select few

all the HODs heads of departments and obviously the actors and producers we went down to South Africa to film quite a bit of the second half of the season. This particular scene was

filmed in Scotland before we left. In Dunur Harbor, They completely refit Dunur and we added the ship, the

Artemis was added with visual effects later. So there was just a green kind of green shape over there.
