The most downloaded show was the one with the best audio quality, but I didn’t think it was a very interesting show.” ~ Ian MacKaye

No wonder the education industry encourages schools to focus on surface education.” ~ Marva Collins

- “You might think of a haunting as a loop of video or audio tape playing itself over and over for you to watch.

-
“Hey, I wasn’t a weirdo. I was in the audio-visual club.” ~ D’arcy Wretzky
- “If we have free will, by definition we cannot be granted it. We can’t be given it. My [-audio-recording-distorted-] paradox states that ‘Of course we have free will, we have no choice.’ To say that it’s a gift is to negate the whole concept of free will on its face. So, if that isn’t self-evident, I can’t think of anything that would meet the definition of being self-evident.” ~ Christopher Hitchens
- “The more we do this, the more the audio-drama format is opening up to us in new ways. So I think there’s an experimental element, or at least an confidence in experimenting, that’s running though our work now – and it wasn’t there in the first season.” ~ Glenn McQuaid
- “The biggest difference for me is that the tales really have no logical outlet, no particular infrastructure in which to present them as you would have with a film festival. There’s no IMDb for audio dramas. So there’s a lot of work with no particular reward.” ~ Larry Fessenden

To hear Van [Morrison] on Them’s version of “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue”- what a vocal, and what an arrangement.

Porter
