The podcast was originally intended to be a film, which had a video trailer released in 2011, but creating a film was too expensive so the creators considered making a graphic novel or radio program instead.

[5] The podcast was a 12 episodes series. [6] The podcast stars Jemaine Clement as Lord Joseph Banks and the show was written and produced by Duncan Sarkies, Stephen Templer, and James Milne. [7] Milne, also known as Lawrence Arabia created the music for the podcast. [8] The podcast is a story about the British botanist Joseph Banks in an parallel world with an alternate history. [9] The show contains elements of historical fiction, fantasy, adventure fiction, and comedy. [10] [11]
Karl Puschmann wrote in The New Zealand Herald that the podcast is a "lavishly produced, epic-sized, comedy-adventure". [12] Diana Brown wrote in Black Information Network that the show is "Lush, fantastical, and very funny". [13]
