Even Talky Tina joined us. She was in her element
Well, it is interesting how many times he said “stairs.” Plus, “balustrades,” which are a part of stairs. @phb256 #ds106tales #hatchetman — Talky Tina (@IamTalkyTina) September 23, 2015
The use of sound design was a quantum leap ahead of the previous night
I’M LOVING THE SOUND EFFECTS!!!!!!! They add soooooooo much to the story #ds106tales

It didn’t really take much though – some cricket noises, some footsteps, a motor running – but the sounds convey the setting and the action, clearly yet subtly. The story introduced us to a new member of the monster pantheon: the zuvembie
Zuvemie according to google. #ds106tales pic.twitter.com/ezhVZAia2S — John McMahan (@jmcmahan68) September 23, 2015
The term may have been invented for the story by the author, Robert E. Howard. They did a pretty good job of adapting the story for audio, but I think they put a few too many of the narrator’s words into the dialogue, making for some stilted speech.
“Leaving the seeds of Hell she’d sown to grow.” – classic closing monologue from Pigeons from Hell. #ds106tales #ds106radio

I managed to get one of our spooky sounds assignments in the broadcast
@phb256 ONE OF THE SONGS I MADE JUST PLAYED ON DS106RADIO!!!!!!! #ds106tales — Bloody Face (@BloodyFace106) September 23, 2015
and the show closed out with some classic Poe and Christopher Walken’s rendition of The Raven, which also had an atmospheric soundtrack of howling wind, reverbed raven, and a distorted guitar that sounded like a chainsaw
@IamTalkyTina @DrJones106 more chainsaw! #ds106tales
