Episode notes

This week, hot off of working on Simon Pegg and Nick Frost's Truth Seekers, Ruth Sullivan joins Rhianna and Michael to reflect on the forgotten world of foley. From creating the sounds of swishing dresses and creaking corsets for period dramas such as Peterloo and Jamestown to stabbing melons and cabbages for murder scenes in the likes of Killing Eve, discover the many, messy layers of composing sound effects.  This is Wrap Party, the podcast that toasts the excellence of the creatives and craftspeople working behind-the-scenes on some of your favourite films and TV shows.
