Let the games begin!

This week i had the opportunity to listen to the broadcast of Noir Games. This was a radio show done by Tyler Flowers, Nairah Killiebrew, Antonio Lewis, and Azrael Fanning. I really liked this idea of a radio show of trivia. I also really liked the surprise of hearing Dr. Oblivion and I also really liked the use of the AI voice for the characters. I think that this group did a great job with the sound aspect of this project. I really liked all of the game show sounds that were added and I think that really helped get in the world of the show. One thing I had noticed, however, is the mixing levels. Some sound effects would be louder than others, though this wasnt a hug issue it was something I noticed. I also heard some longer pauses in the voices towards the end of the show which was interesting in the following of the story. Overall, this was a very entertaining show to listen to!

In terms of hearing my own show broadcasted, it was definitely interesting. I don’t normally like hearing my own voice so editing was a challenge but only I could hear my voice when editing. This time I was hearing my voice AND others were listening to it. So once I got over that I was feeling very proud of the finished product!

Days of Crime and Roses

Let’s get into today’s case.

Days of Crime and Roses is a podcast that focuses on true crime stories, with multiple hosts sharing their experiences. The podcast creates a specific atmosphere through narration of the cases, like Lynn’s emotional connection to the missing persons in Montana creates an emotional resonance. Jasper’s dramatic storytelling about Grayson Cole and the “Rebirth Incident” captivates the audience with a cautionary tale. The consistent introduction and outro music contribute to branding and listener recognition. The variety in hosts’ approaches within “Days of Crime and Roses” suggests an awareness of appealing to a diverse audience.

Crime and roses had an interesting take that reminded me of the last time we listened to the Ds106 radio for a crime podcast. Super cute how they all said crime at the same time. Aside from that overall love how it came out. I couldn’t appreciate the extra sounds that, but I could hear the emotions in their voices as they told the stories. It’s nice to hear that they mentioned wanting to hear more background sounds too. I can image how much more immersive that would have felt rather than just an interesting listen. Still, it was enjoyable, and I can hear the Limestone inspiration.

Well, when it came to listening to my own show I really listened to all the mistakes that make me wanna pull my hair out and gag. Some of them were so bad I am shocked no one said anything ;-; wahhhhh. Anyway, overall, the same feeling I get when I hear my own voice. ew ew ew eweweweweweweweweweew. That’s how I feel.
