ATC103: Review of Captain Bayley’s Heir & Rob Jorgensen Interview

An interview and a review in one episode! Today we review Heirloom Audio's Captain Bayley's Heir and then we're joined by sound designer, Rob Jorgensen, to talk about the work he did on this audio drama. We chat about some of the musical elements Rob worked on, binaural audio, finding an item on Craigslist that was "sound effects gold", and a whole lot more. We also have some interesting audio drama tidbits, some feedback from Angela, Michael, and Amber. And Roy kicks things off with a newscast.

NOTE: While we keep our review relatively spoiler-free, during our interview with Rob we do discuss a few minor plot points so if you don't want to hear any spoilers at all, you will want to listen to the audio drama before our conversation.
