This was awesome, Ann! What a cool (and time consuming!) way to shout out other authors on Substack!

Thank you! Actually, since it's short it only takes half a day. And that's fast when it comes to sound editing😆

As a podcaster I know how long these audible pieces of art take.

*Bows deeply* and says, “Only half a day?” 😉

I did 30 episodes of a scary news podcast, where I brought the news story to life with a mini audio that put the listener into the news story. The rest of the podcast was two people talking about the crazy stories. I did two mini audio stories per show. That's how I got fast. Practice. And I find it really fun. But, I hear you. Audio editing, in theory and usually in practice, is very time consuming.

My podcast editing workflow has definitely accelerated. But what I haven’t experimented with is sound design like you’ve done. I think it adds so much to the listening experience.

Ann, I think we are going to have some serious fun as friends...there's so much talent here for us not to egg one another on.

Another charming and thrilling audio drama. I feel like it’s 1939 again and we’re gathered around the upright tube radio!
