I’ve been having fun with sound effects. I hope you like it. Of course this causes me to spend more time producing each episode. To give you an idea, this episode took 19 hours to produce:
- recording – 1.5 hours
- editing my audio – 8 hours
- editing and splicing in Tee and MWS’s audio – 3 hours
- foley work (including searching for certain effects I didn’t have) – 4.5 hours
- mixing down, listening for errors, uploading, etc. – 2 hours
I’m not whining about time spent. I love doing this. I just wonder sometimes what possessed me to do this as an audio drama instead of as a straight read. 
Episode 14 – Chapter 13, Part 2 – To Sleep

Here’s a new promo for Murder at Avedon Hill, focusing on the fact that we’re currently on the home stretch. Thanks to Michael Spence for doing the primary writing on this, and to Patrick McLean for recording the audio.
This is the clean version of the promo. There is an explicit version of the promo (I just couldn’t pass up Patrick McLean dropping an f-bomb). It can be found on the sidebar on the home page of the site.
If you use one of these promos in your podcast, please let me know so I can return the favor. Thanks!

Hello folks. Sorry I’ve been away for a while. I’ve been battling computer viruses, conducting a job search, and dealing with family stuff over the last few weeks and episode 39 was moved lower on the priority list for a time. I am back at editing now, so expect another audio episode soon.
One thing I finished recently that I’ve been working on here and there for over a year is a video promo. I can do a few things in Flash but nothing I was putting together for MaAH was appealing to me. Enter the website Animoto.com. With animoto you upload your photos, drawings, etc., add text, add music, and then it spits out a video for you. The only drawback is you have no real control over the transitions used, so your only recourse if you don’t like how something looks is to re-render the whole thing and see if it turns out the way you want it.
After a lot of tries I came up with the video you see here. If you like it, please embed it, promote it, put the file on your site or in your podcast feed, etc. I’d be honored.
If you want to embed it, please let me know and I’ll send you the code. If you don’t want to email me, I have a version of the video on youtube that you can grab, but the video doesn’t look as good on youtube (you can make the video look better when embedding though by changing the resolution of the video).
This is the first time I’m placing a video in my feed. Hopefully no one will have issues.

On Saturday, June 6th we had our first live Q&A show on TalkShoe. At least twenty-five people attended the show. It was a lot of fun, and we’ll definitely be doing something like this again in the future.
