This was absolutely (pardon the expression) balls-to-the-wall brilliant! The writing, the acting, and most notably, the post-production. I’m very much interested in learning how to mix audiodramas and I must say, if I have the opportunity, this would be the person I’d love to learn from. It literally felt like I was watching a Bond film. And by that, I’m not just referring to the post-production itself, but also to the way the writer let the sound effects tell the story whenever possible, sometimes almost (note, I said *almost*!) too much. I’m so used to being spoon-fed the details of action through the dialog that having to actually use my brain to figure things out brought me a bit up short at first, but I came very quickly to prefer that style, since it truly does engage one’s imagination. Kudos to all involved. I didn’t have equipment to audition for this when the call went out, but after hearing this phenomenal example of audiotheatrics, I can assure you I shall not miss a second opportunity! This is the benchmark by which all other action-adventure or superhero audiodrama ought to be measured in terms of production values and painting pictures with sound and dialog. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I listened to this, although the lines from the cast-call and the trailer had set my expectations fairly high. In case I haven’t made it abundantly clear, my expectations were exceeded, ass-kicked, and sent hurtling off the Golden Gate bridge, where they exploded in a brilliant fireball of unadulterated audio-ecstasy. Bang on!
