LOVE IT! I love it I love it I love it!

Very well done--I like the sounds you added and the radio imitation; it really bumps the quality up and sounds very professional. I also like how you tagged the entry with the names of the characters. Very clever!

Are you going to try to keep the podcasts chapter-by-chapter? What about the particularly long ones?

About the voices: I always imagined Keegan with an English accent. XD I did not imagine Cog with one, though; interesting. Augustus' low-town brogue is another nice touch I didn't think of.

Actually, more than anything, it inspires me to get the lead out and finish reading the novel. >__> The "teasers for next week" just cracked me up, though, as did the "sponsors" XD

BTW, where do you want me to email you now? The new email @gearheart or your same ol' same ol' ?

Same old e-mail will do just dandy!

As for your questions: I want to keep the podcasts at 20 minutes or nearest cliffhanger. If there's not a DUN DUN DUNNNNN! every 20 minutes, I need to rethink that section before posting it.

About the voices: I wanted Keegan to have a "Liam Neeson." Not quite American. Not quite British. A Princeton man.

Renée's no-nonsense British was really fun, and we simply couldn't resist.

Augustus was originally kind of an apple-pie boyscout, but I thought that the Brooklander would work better. He's very recognizable now.

The teasers will change with the episode. If the episode ends on a scary note, I'll try to be more serious. The sponsors, however, will always be funny... unless I ACTUALLY get a sponsor.

I just put a new post up about character flaws. Maybe you'll like it?
