Production[]

The sound was designed by Andrew Dubber and Sean James Donnelly. The music was performed by Victoria Kelly and Joost Langeveld.

The show was designed with a story arc spanning a full year in mind, but was cancelled after six months and ending the show on a cliffhanger. In 2006, Dubber sketched what he remembered of how the writers and producers imagined it may have continued.^[1]

Airing and later release[]

The show aired four days a week just after 15:00 and with a repeat at 01:00.

Andrew Dubber later released the work under a Creative Commons license (by-nc 2.0) on Bandcamp as free download around 2006.^[1]

Awards[]

Claybourne won "Best Dramatic Production of the Year" at the 1999 New Zealand Radio Awards.
