A gimmick story. But a well crafted one.

Thanks, guys, for making the effort to avoid podfade. I have been liking you, including (most of) your post-show banter. Please keep going if it doesn’t start feeling a chore.

Big mentioned he went to a writing prompt site for inspiration. Can you share the URL? Thanks!

Hated it.

Depression I can do but depression with tedious boredom is just too damn much to expect us to put up with.

I liked the effect of the incoming shockwaves, but it made for slightly distracted driving. I’m glad I wasn’t jogging, at least.

First off, I’ll admit that I don’t comment on stories as often as I should, despite enjoying a great many of them. This is one of those moments when I honestly feel moved to comment. I’ve listened to every story up to this point, and it’s the second I’ve taken the time to comment on (I should be finishing the dishes right now).

Your story was lovely. Deep and moving in ways that I understand too well. The kindness of strangers is a powerful thing, and I share the main character’s devotion to E. B. White’s novel. You captured all of the best things about people in that story, and I just wanted to say thank you for it.

Even if it’s got me feeling bittersweet and throat-tight with tears. Perhaps not the response you were looking for, but don’t worry. It’s the happy sort of sad. Perfect for today, because three years ago I said goodbye to a dear friend in a way that was a blessing and a curse.

I wish I’d have my own ass-hat magic spider to make things better.

By some happy accident of fate, this was the first story I listened to on this podcast, and I am glad it was. What a great hook! It is still one of my all-time favorites. So much to it, so well performed. Now that I have listened to more, I wanted to come back and give proper appreciation to this story.

This episode “sparked” an evening of family fun! I was listening to old episodes on my ipod, and when I heard Big talking about lighting a dandelion on fire. I stopped the ipod immediately, gathered my 12-year-old son and a lighter and went out into the yard–that has been desperately needed to be cut, so is full of white dandelions. It also happened to be dusk. Too cool. :) When we came in and told my husband, he had to take it to the next level and went out with a butane torch–it worked, too, needless to say. Way too much fun.

Other than that, I liked the production. The pacing of the voices, the overall feel, supported the atmosphere very well. Good work, that man!

Yeah, turn out there were some compression problems. That was entirely my fault.

Was there a problem with the audio? You said “shockwaves”, but I don’t know if you are talking about the effects or the mix.
If it has problems with the audio, let me know so I can watch it next time.
