🔥 NEW EPISODE ALERT 🔥 Information in Vyer burns, bubbles, and lives on in undeath. The real question is, what will our heroes do with it?
Which is absolutely not a dig at folks who have won awards (I know tons whose recognition is well deserved) but more lamenting the lack of a methodology for judging in this medium that isn't impractically time-consuming!
I've been thinking a lot about this too, and feel that in many judged contests, "best" really means "most noticeable" -- which can be a catch-22 in some categories (like editing and producing) where the harder you work, the LESS noticeable that work becomes.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the audio edition! I love when authors we work with describe atmospheric sounds because it opens up opportunities to do cool stuff for the podcast 😊
The story is up and available to listen! I absolutely loved the amazing sound editing that the team at khōréō did—so atmospheric! 🐊
