genuinely want to cry at @bobbys-snacks.bsky.social's write-up of The Bright Sessions epilogue - he's been such a huge advocate for the medium from day 1, that the idea of being even a small part of them diving fully into AD is extremely meaningful.

I realize the new episode is MONDO, MONDO late. It turns out that a combination of an over-committed consulting schedule and several weeks of single parenting will do that to a production schedule. 😂
But I made progress tonight! And it's sounding great. I really can't wait to bring it to you.

#audiodrama sound editing pro-tip: you hear something differently the fifth time you listen to it versus the first.
You'll often hear it as "downtempo" from what it will be to a fresh audience, because your ears know the beats and are starting to get impatient with them. Adjust accordingly.

this episode has many things that I love: one of my favorite @readitsomewhere.bsky.social jokes, a big group scene with our incredible mammoth ensemble, and people working together to make the world a better place.
but will they succeed? you want to be caught up before the final two eps, trust me

Episode 12 is way overdue, but I'm making slow but steady progress. It really is coming, and it's sounding great.
I may be doing some stuff in the background to set up doing additional Metropolis (and other stories). But first, I need to get the rest of *this* Metropolis out! #audiodrama

Something that is impossibly cool: WHYY just did a big piece about something my spouse/creative-partner (and director of Metropolis) has been working on back in Philly:

It's such a beautiful, transcendent show in an incredibly 'Metropolis' space. An incredible creation. 🥲

The Bearded Ladies Cabaret’s “The Layaway” is a cheeky and mischievous take on opulence and commerce.

Gosh do I have a love-hate relationship with audio editing. It's great to get things the way you want them, but the anxiety to get there – the feeling that you might let all the work you've done to get to this point down – is pretty rough! #audiodrama

I'm going to post some of my favorite exchanges from Metropolis while I work on Episode 12 (coming out in a few weeks!)
This is an exchange between Nan and Oliver from Episode 2 that summarizes their whole dynamic. I'm tickled by the performances every time I listen. 😂
