Hey there it's Nick. A while back my friends and I were working on a love and

radio episode about a mostly forgotten British reality TV show from the mid-Auts.

A story ended up becoming so twisty and fun. We decided to break it out as its own six-part series on

CBC called Real Seekers.

I'm going to play the first episode here, but you can listen to the rest of the story on

CBC's split-screen feed. I have a link to it in the show notes.

Also, I've begun posting brand new love and radio episodes for Patreon members and Apple Podcasts

subscribers.

Those episodes will be dropping in this feed soonish, but if you can't wait, head on over to love and radio.org

slash member or hit the subscribe button in Apple Podcasts.

Thanks. From Love and Radio Vespucci and CBC, this is Split Screen Thrill Seekers.

I'm Nick Banderkolk.

Chapter 1. Are you a thrill seeker? Hello,

Hello and welcome just.

How do you do it?

How do you do it?

First you place a pretty bait you add in the press.

So, Louise, just to start things off, can you introduce yourself for me and tell me about when you first saw the ad for the TV show?

I'm Louise Decker and I'm from Kent in the southeast of England.

So I think I must have been living back at home after university.

I definitely remember being at the computer in my mom and dad's house and um...

Thrills seekers wanted.
