Final Head2Head contest in the #ArmchairAudies #OriginalWork category: 'The Dispatcher' (by J. Scalzi) vs 'Pete Seeger, Storm King - Volume 2' (written & performed by P. Seeger et al; ed. by J. Haynes.) The former is sexy, fun, & whets the appetite for more;but the latter, despite the production values,is really only a part of a whole piece; and would probably appeal to an older,NPR-type crowd that remembers Seeger in his day. FTW:'The Dispatcher'
'Who Was Pete Seeger?' won't be released until June 6 of this year; but I'll be listening to 'The Storm King' next. 'The Storm King: Volume 2' is up for an Audie in the #OriginalWork category; but first things first! 😄
In the penultimate #Head2Head challenge in the #ArmchairAudies #OriginalWork category, 'The Dispatcher' wins by virtue of excellent production quality and a well-written story. I think the *world* of Robin Miles, and there was a lot of work that went into 'In the Embers'; but in the end it felt too much like community theater. I have issues w/the script and post-production; and am annoyed at having to listen to 2 hours of interviews :-/
Starting this #OriginalWork today in audio! An archaeologist has used a technique to extract fossilized sound from charcoaled wood; and is looking to unearth evidence of long term residence of historic significance at a proposed construction site in Maryland... Narrated by Edwin Strout, Robin Miles, and a Full Cast that includes Robin's daughter! 🎧#ArmchairAudies
#Head2Head: Tom Magliozzi passed away a couple of yrs ago, so it was fun to hear takes from the show he did with his brother, Ray. As always, they guarantee to put a smile on your face; but I have to admit that listening to them crack each other up segment after segment wore thin even within the short runtime of this #OriginalWork. It seems this was intended to entertain more than educate. So, by default, again, 'The Dispatcher!' #ArmchairAudies
pickListened to the audio drama based on the novel for #ArmchairAudies #OriginalWork category: Laurel Lefkow voices Ripley so well I thought Audible had spliced in film dialogue! Rutger Hauer (❤) voiced the modified Ash character very nicely too. Story had a continuity error; and was obsessed with decompression chambers and warning everyone that "acid burns" *a lot*; but it's a pretty good story nonetheless if not adding anything to the cannon ?⭐⭐⭐

In the first (out of six) #head2head posts in the #ArmchairAudies #OriginalWork category, 'The Dispatcher' wins out over Larry Correia's novella, 'The Adventures of Tom Stranger, Interdimensional Insurance Agent'! "Tom Stranger" is furiously funny and fast-paced; and Adam Baldwin does not disappoint; but Correia is a Sad Puppy; and the manatee character sounds like a whale... And by now we all know how perfect I think 'The Dispatcher' is! ??
