On today’s pod I have executive Producer 'Dan Edwards' and he is the co-founder of the production company 'Rough Diamond' with his father 'John Edwards.'
Today we will be talking about their latest project ‘Year Of’ which is now available on ‘Stan Australia.’
They have produced some amazing content together with shows like ‘Romper Stomper’ and ‘Bump’ and this project is a brain child of ‘Dan’s’ which has been a long time in the making.
If you think his ‘John Edwards’ name sounds family - you would be right as he has had some amazing success over the years with ‘Secret Life Of Us’ and ‘Love My way’ just to name a few.
There is a very similar style that they both share in my eyes. I think dan is a little edgier with his latest work and I think he has completed some really interesting work on this series - especially giving voice to young people.
‘Year Of’ takes place in the same universe as the hit ‘Stan Original Series Bump’ and is set in and around the senior years of high school – exploring the liminal time between childhood and adulthood and the renegotiations with adults that it brings. 

Coming up, we will find out what influences Dan has recognised from his father ‘John Edwards’ work.
We will hear how they created this series and how they managed to create authentic voices for young people in the writers room. 
We will talk about why streaming services has allowed more space for a show like ‘Year Of’ and how the success of Bump helped get this project made.

Plus we will get plenty of exclusives from behind the scenes of ‘Year Of.’ Which starts this week on the steaming service ‘Stan Australia.’ Which you can subscribe to on your smart phones and smart TV’s.
