Every season, I pick a theme and our 5 00:00:12,679 --> 00:00:14,800 team comes up with their own ideas for an audio 6 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,000 drama that somehow fits that theme, even if it only 7 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,320 fits if you squint at it from far away. Once 8 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,320 they've made their episode, I invite them on to talk 9 00:00:23,359 --> 00:00:25,600 about it. I am thrilled to be here with today's 10 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:30,239 party guest, Lindsey fun Lindsay is a South Florida based 11 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,679 voice actor and she's a fellow co founder of Lengthy 12 00:00:32,719 --> 00:00:35,520 tangent Our Audio production House and serves as a producer, 13 00:00:35,679 --> 00:00:39,359 an award winning sound designer, an actor, and many other roles. 14 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,840 Fun fact, we were working on our website lately and 15 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,079 I'm pretty sure Lindsay had the most production credits out 16 00:00:45,119 --> 00:00:50,759 of everybody in the group. Lindsay, please say hello hello now, Lindsay, 17 00:00:51,039 --> 00:00:54,119 I want to know if you agree with what kind 18 00:00:54,119 --> 00:00:57,799 of party I think you would be now. I think 19 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,799 the party you would want would be a small group 20 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,439 friends get away where the goals to do quiet activities 21 00:01:03,479 --> 00:01:07,400 and eat good food. Tasty food catered. Some probably include 22 00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:09,879 cooking classes. Small groups mean only the best of the 23 00:01:09,879 --> 00:01:13,079 best get invited away means a break from the every 24 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,400 day for more than a few hours. But I think 25 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,200 your personality is more of a friend's giving friends in 26 00:01:20,239 --> 00:01:23,079 the kitchen together than eating a delicious meal, maybe playing 27 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,159 some D and D or board games after, and then 28 00:01:25,359 --> 00:01:28,239 everybody skidattle's. Do you agree or no? 29 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,359 Speaker 2: I agree that the personality that most people get would 30 00:01:33,359 --> 00:01:33,879 fit with that. 31 00:01:34,359 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so the personality that I. 32 00:01:36,599 --> 00:01:40,359 Speaker 2: Like to present to the world, you know, sure, I 33 00:01:40,359 --> 00:01:43,879 think that my personality probably the one that is on 34 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:48,599 the inside, probably more suits like a dark slumber party. 35 00:01:48,319 --> 00:01:50,519 Speaker 1: With like a scary dark Is that like an evil 36 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,239 slumber party? What's dark about it? 37 00:01:52,599 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 2: No? 38 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 3: Like like physically dark. 39 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,079 Speaker 1: Yeah, like the scary movies. 40 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:57,799 Speaker 3: Like physically dark. 41 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,079 Speaker 2: You know. Yeah, nobody can see you eating, so that 42 00:02:01,079 --> 00:02:03,159 you can just shove the popcorn in as fast as 43 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,319 you can. I don't know what it is about popcorn, 44 00:02:05,319 --> 00:02:07,239 but it's just, you know, no one should watch me. 45 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,199 Speaker 1: It's also ninety percent air, So is there any other 46 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,360 way to eat it other than shoveling it into your mouth? 47 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 3: Yeah? 48 00:02:12,879 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 2: But then we paid somebody afterwards. In my personality party, 49 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,800 we paid somebody afterwards to come and vacuum away the evidence. 50 00:02:20,879 --> 00:02:23,759 Speaker 1: Yea, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah cool. The theme for this 51 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,080 season is family traditions. Did your story fit the theme? 52 00:02:27,199 --> 00:02:27,800 Yes or no? 53 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:32,319 Speaker 3: Yes? I think that it definitely did, rightly allowed to not. 54 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:33,039 Speaker 2: No. 55 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: That's the joke of that question, is that every time 56 00:02:35,879 --> 00:02:38,520 I ask it, everybody's gonna say yes, fingers crossed. 57 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,719 Speaker 3: Okay, well, yes it did. Hopefully you've listened to it already, 58 00:02:41,879 --> 00:02:42,560 the listeners. 59 00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 2: The whole point of my episode is that there is 60 00:02:45,439 --> 00:02:48,319 a family tradition, and I was sort of playing off 61 00:02:48,479 --> 00:02:51,919 the concept of when an octopus mates and has children, 62 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:56,039 it dies, right, So you can't really have family traditions 63 00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:00,560 in the traditional sense, but still incorporating that into the 64 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,520 idea of there is something that's passed down to these 65 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:08,479 octopuses in their family lineages, and there I found a 66 00:03:08,479 --> 00:03:10,319 way to bridge the gap so that there could still 67 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,080 be selling passed down and still use that biological fact. 68 00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, your episode title, for people who don't already know, 69 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,560 is The Reach.

When trash rains down, Revenge rises. 72 00:03:26,319 --> 00:03:27,879 Speaker 1: Up, I like it and your log line. 73 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 2: In an underwater civilization, a rebellious young octopus races to 74 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,000 finish a mech suit to honor her late mother and 75 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,479 protect her kind from the surface. 76 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,439 Speaker 1: World excellence, and that's exactly what the story was. 77 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 3: That's exactly what the story was. 78 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,919 Speaker 1: Lindsay's roles in making this episode included writer, director, casting, 79 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,319 sound design and engineering, production coordination, producer, and voice actor. 80 00:03:50,719 --> 00:03:52,240 Let's listen to a sample of your work. 81 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 4: I am one of the chosen.

That would be 123 00:05:49,639 --> 00:05:52,800 so funny in an audio fiction format, and so I 124 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:53,839 was like, I'm gonna make a. 125 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 1: Fit on that note. What was your biggest challenge slash 126 00:05:56,639 --> 00:05:58,360 obstacle with making your episode? 127 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 3: Oh, the sound design. Definitely the sound design. 128 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 2: So I fell into sound design because of Peculiar Radio 129 00:06:05,439 --> 00:06:06,759 and like the tangent things like that. 130 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,519 Speaker 3: You know, I edited my own audio. 131 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,079 Speaker 2: All voice actors know how to edit audio, but when 132 00:06:11,079 --> 00:06:13,319 it comes to actually doing sound effects and sound design 133 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:14,920 and things like that, that was new to me. 134 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,959 Speaker 3: And so I had to learn it on the job. 135 00:06:17,439 --> 00:06:20,319 Speaker 2: I had bigger ideas in my head than I think 136 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,879 I was one capable of doing and had the resources 137 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,040 to do. In my head, it was very SpongeBob. It 138 00:06:27,199 --> 00:06:30,680 was very like when SpongeBob walks and he goes with 139 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,920 his feet, it like makes like a farting sound, and 140 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,120 like when they open a door there's bubbles and just 141 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,120 like SpongeBob rules in general, and I would have loved 142 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:40,920 to be able to implement some of those sound effects 143 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,279 and I did some research research. 144 00:06:43,319 --> 00:06:45,079 Speaker 3: I watched SpongeBob like what's. 145 00:06:44,879 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 1: New, Yeah, and that's where I searched. 146 00:06:47,079 --> 00:06:48,079 Speaker 3: I mean I watched it anyways. 147 00:06:48,079 --> 00:06:51,399 Speaker 2: So, and there's so many sound effects that don't fit 148 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,319 the action unless you're seeing it happen. And so without 149 00:06:55,319 --> 00:06:58,639 that visual I couldn't put in random farting sounds. I 150 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,680 couldn't put in like a whoop, because nobody would have 151 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,879 the visual reference of what that would be referring to. 152 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 3: So I had to go SpongeBob. 153 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 1: Like, yeah, I think you could still have gotten away 154 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,000 with the farting noises and just left the listeners wondering like, 155 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,120 why is everybody so gassy in this episode? And maybe 156 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:16,079 it's the clamcakes. 157 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:17,959 Speaker 3: No, I could have You're right, Yeah, it was a 158 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:19,639 choice and I chose not to. 159 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: Next, I want to ask you what is your opinion 160 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,120 on surprise parties? And has someone ever thrown one for 161 00:07:25,199 --> 00:07:27,240 you or have you ever thrown one for someone else? 162 00:07:27,639 --> 00:07:27,839 Speaker 3: Yes? 163 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 2: So I have gotten a surprise party, but it wasn't 164 00:07:31,199 --> 00:07:34,360 a surprise. It was supposed to be a surprise. I'm 165 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,720 very nosy, and I push and I push, and I 166 00:07:36,759 --> 00:07:39,199 push and I dig. My husband likes to say that, like, 167 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,800 he can't surprise me because I'll say, oh, I want 168 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:42,319 you to surprise me. 169 00:07:42,319 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 3: I don't know what you I don't want to know 170 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:43,920 what you got me. 171 00:07:44,199 --> 00:07:46,959 Speaker 2: But then I will find back channels and find like 172 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,360 ways of figuring out what it was. Even though I 173 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,639 really wanted to be surprised, I'll figure it out. I 174 00:07:51,639 --> 00:07:53,439 don't know why I do this to myself. It was 175 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,399 my baby shower for my first was supposed to be 176 00:07:56,439 --> 00:07:58,160 a surprised and it wasn't. I knew it was coming 177 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,600 a long time. Have I thrown one? I attempted to. Yes, 178 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,879 I am pretty good at surprises myself, like for other people. 179 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: Well, that's because you know how you yourself look to 180 00:08:09,279 --> 00:08:12,319 spoil the surprises, so you know what to avoid, Yeah, 181 00:08:12,319 --> 00:08:14,639 to keep other people from falling to the same thing exactly. 182 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 2: Except I did not know that this was coming. So 183 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:24,160 I planned a surprise birthday trip.

In your experience, what has been the 306 00:13:37,799 --> 00:13:41,440 biggest hint that it's time to leave or end a party. 307 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 3: When the communal food comes out? 308 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 2: I mean, so, I'm not a big party person in general, 309 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,919 especially if it's like a party of acquaintances. If I'm 310 00:13:51,039 --> 00:13:54,440 really really not super friendly with everybody, I leave as 311 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,159 soon as I can, as soon as there's an opportunity, 312 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,279 I'm out. But something that I hate, can. 313 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 1: I interrupt and ask if you're an Irish goodbyer, or 314 00:14:01,879 --> 00:14:04,120 do you make the effort to say goodbye to everybody 315 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:05,080 or oh so. 316 00:14:05,159 --> 00:14:07,879 Speaker 2: As a kid, I had to always be reminded make 317 00:14:07,919 --> 00:14:09,919 sure you say goodbye to everybody, because if I had 318 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,440 the choice, I would just leave. And it's not that 319 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,279 I hate people in general, Like it's not that I 320 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,919 hate the people that are there. I just so am 321 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,480 so socially awkward most of the time, and I'm so 322 00:14:20,919 --> 00:14:24,559 conscious of it that saying goodbye to people brings a 323 00:14:24,639 --> 00:14:27,919 lot of anxiety. There's just a lot of uncertainty that 324 00:14:28,039 --> 00:14:30,440 makes me just want to bypass it all. 325 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 3: And just leave. So yeah, no, I would love to 326 00:14:33,039 --> 00:14:34,159 just leave a place. 327 00:14:34,399 --> 00:14:37,519 Speaker 2: But what I hate more than that is communal food 328 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,519 or like a pot luck or something like that. I 329 00:14:39,559 --> 00:14:41,919 don't know what you've done in your kitchen, how you cook. 330 00:14:42,279 --> 00:14:44,279 I don't know if you're tasting the food as you're 331 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,799 eating it and then putting the spoon back in. I 332 00:14:46,799 --> 00:14:49,440 don't know if your cat walked across your countertop while 333 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,480 you're cooking. So if you're bringing pot luck, if there's 334 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,799 food that everybody's breathing on, I'm I'm good. 335 00:14:55,960 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: Would you rather starve. If you have to hang out 336 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,639 at that party, then partake in that food or will you? 337 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,799 Speaker 3: I won't partake. I will not partake. 338 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 1: Okay, it's severe, so right when it comes out the 339 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,120 communal food, even if it's fresh right out of the fridge, or. 340 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, if they had it catered and like a reputable company, 341 00:15:20,039 --> 00:15:23,120 and I don't mean catered like your Aunt Susie catered it. 342 00:15:23,639 --> 00:15:26,080 I mean like a restaurant catered it and they bring 343 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:26,360 it in. 344 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:27,559 Speaker 1: You don't know my aunt Suzie. 345 00:15:27,639 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 3: Do you have an aunt Susie. 346 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: I don't, But if I did, you don't know her. 347 00:15:31,399 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 2: Well, if a restaurant brought it in and I watched 348 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,240 the restaurant bring it in and I watched them unwrap 349 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,840 the foil in front of my eyes, and I see 350 00:15:38,879 --> 00:15:41,120 the behaviors of the people who were in line before me, 351 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,879 I'll probably have some. But if it's been sitting out 352 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,159 before I got there, or if I know that your 353 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,960 Aunt Susie brought it from her Toyota and it was 354 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,320 sitting in her trunk that came from her house where 355 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:52,960 her cats are and where her fingers are. 356 00:15:53,679 --> 00:15:54,759 Speaker 3: No, no, thank you. 357 00:15:55,039 --> 00:15:57,399 Speaker 1: This sounds like a you know too much situation. 358 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I've seen too much. I've seen too much. 359 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: Yep. 360 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,279 Speaker 3: I don't need food poisoning. I am terrified of food poisoning. 361 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: You know, it's crazy. I have zero qualms about pot luck. 362 00:16:09,399 --> 00:16:12,360 I am wary of like your potato salads, your other 363 00:16:12,639 --> 00:16:15,679 like sauce based things sitting out that should stay hot 364 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,399 or should stay cold that are not either in a 365 00:16:18,399 --> 00:16:20,720 crock pot or on ice or something like that. That 366 00:16:20,919 --> 00:16:24,720 gives me the hebgb's, especially if it's not early on 367 00:16:24,759 --> 00:16:28,279 in the day or early on in the event. Rather. Yeah, 368 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,240 if I'm just not sure how it's been treated that day, 369 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,679 I'm otherwise pretty well set to just take a little 370 00:16:34,679 --> 00:16:38,200 bit of everything and try everything. I will claim that 371 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,080 I don't recall a time that I've ever had food poisoning. 372 00:16:41,159 --> 00:16:43,279 Speaker 2: Really, yeah, you know, I don't think I have either, 373 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,519 So I'm not like scarred from it. I'm just terrified 374 00:16:46,519 --> 00:16:47,240 of it happening. 375 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: It sounds terrible, like I know people who've had it. 376 00:16:50,399 --> 00:16:52,399 As far as I know, I've never had it. 377 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 2: So it's absolutely terrifying. But there's like another element too. 378 00:16:55,519 --> 00:16:57,879 I don't know what ingredients you used, either, and I'm 379 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:03,080 very picky. I have a phobia of ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise, okay, 380 00:17:03,639 --> 00:17:05,400 and they're very easy to hide in things. 381 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:06,279 Speaker 3: Yep. 382 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 2: Every passover or every time my mom makes a brisket, 383 00:17:09,559 --> 00:17:11,079 I'm like, did you put ketchup in it? 384 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,599 Speaker 3: This year? And she always swears she didn't put ketchup 385 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:13,880 in it? 386 00:17:14,039 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 2: And I have to really really like look to see 387 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,160 if I can see any blobs because she'll try it. 388 00:17:18,759 --> 00:17:20,559 I don't think she has a long time. I think 389 00:17:20,599 --> 00:17:23,400 she's given up on it. But you could hide it 390 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,960 in anything. And I also don't want to like harass you. 391 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:27,319 I don't want to go up to you, like list 392 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,720 every ingredient that you put in this thing. I'm not 393 00:17:29,759 --> 00:17:31,400 gonna do that to you. I'll just not yet. 394 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 1: I'm not super familiar with cooking brisket. Is ketchup a 395 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,160 common brisket ingredient? 396 00:17:37,559 --> 00:17:42,599 Speaker 2: I mean, yes, there's a whole like a spectrum of 397 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,160 common brisket ingredients. Ketchup is one of them. Some people 398 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:50,359 do grape jelly, some people do coke. Like if you'll 399 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,920 put it in a pot roast, people will put it 400 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:54,839 in a brisket. It's basically the same thing. I'm sure 401 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,319 you've seen pot roast. That's like coca cola in pot roast. 402 00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:58,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, I've done that, befoar. 403 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,519 Speaker 2: I mean, I'll love just a you know, an onion 404 00:18:00,559 --> 00:18:03,039 soup mix. Stick it in the oven for like four hours, 405 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,480 and I'm happy with that. Common ingredients. 406 00:18:05,559 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 1: Well watch out, I guess. 407 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,759 Speaker 3: You can never be too careful. It'll get you. 408 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,319 Speaker 1: Well, this is my hint that it is almost time 409 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,039 to end the party. Lindsay, it's been a pleasure chatting 410 00:18:17,039 --> 00:18:20,680 with you. But before we go, can we please tell 411 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,119 the people what you're promoting or celebrating right now? 412 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 2: Yes, I am celebrating our crowdfunding campaign. 413 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:32,079 Speaker 3: On indieg go.
