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

Tonight, as we approach the book launch of Murder at Avedon Hill, we have a Tales of the Children story written and produced by Dan Absalonson. A few weeks ago Dan asked if he could produce the audio for his own podcast, and knowing I wouldn’t be getting to his story for several months, I said “Go for it!” For a first audio podcast episode, Dan did a wonderful job with the production. Big Axe, Little Hands is a fun story about one of the smaller races of Caern, and an incarnation of one of the Children of Az we haven’t seen in audio form thus far.
I hope you enjoy the story, and check back later today for the release of an interview I did with Jack Mangan over at his Deadpan Podcast.
0:00 – Intro Chatter
- Short intro of Dan Abaslonson’s short story, Big Axe, Small Hands.
2:00 – Big Axe, Small Hands
Join Halvard the Halfling as he journeys to find the way of the warrior, running into trouble along the way, and meeting races he’s only heard tell of in the story told around the community fire in his small village.

Balticon was wonderful–best convention I’ve ever attended. One of the many reasons for this (which I’ll detail in an upcoming audio update) was the forty-five minutes I got to spend with Howard Tayler. Howard is the creator of the Schlock Mercenary web-comic, a host on the Writing Excuses podcast, and the Artist Guest of Honor at Balticon this year.
We talked about storytelling within the medium of ‘sequential art,’ Writing Excuses, pacing within different mediums, and a little about the talk Howard gave at Balticon on education and on becoming a better creator, no matter the medium.
Thanks to Howard for being patient with someone that obviously had less than a good grasp of web-comic terminology (I referred to panels as boxes throughout the interview ).
Promo at the end of the episode is for Prisoners of the Alliance.
Author, Podcaster, Father - P.G. Holyfield's first novel, Murder at Avedon Hill, was published by Dragon Moon Press in May of 2010. He passed away on August 20, 2014 in his home, surrounded by family and friends.
