Failed Cities Monologues Comments

By: Thomas

Great story telling. Outlandish characters. Stellar writing. Well done, Matt and crew. but what about the pink tennis shoes??

By: Pinky

Wow... I just finished this and I thought it was awesome. The production quality was great with the music and sound effects, and the voice characterisations were excellent. It was a compelling story that hooked me right from the beginning. The characters were fascinating and complex. And the prose... Matt, you sure can write. The words just flowed, full of vivid imagery. They just rolled over me and took me along. They made the city and it's inhabitants real. Some of the prose, especially that of the character Trucker (The Conductor), reminded me *very* much of some of Jack Kerouac's work, particularly his novel "On The Road". It had that same edgy, descriptive quality to it and the same type of vivid imagery. I listen to a lot of audio books. This is one of the best I've heard. I look forward to a sequel.

Thank you for the great comments. By the way, we are working on something new for FCM. I think you are going to like it.

I thorougly enjoyed the story and the characters. The development wasn't drawn out too much, but the characters did take the forefront in this story. It is a unique concept and I felt that it was executed extremely well. It kept me awake and wanting to know more about the characters. The voice acting was great as well. Thanks for a great story!

I purchased an H2 after I saw that Seth Harwood was using one for all of his recording. I love it. I now use it for many of my recordings. The H2 was one of the best podcasting investments I've made.

The first thing to do is experiment. Play with your voice. Record yourself making those different voices. See what you like. Practice will make you better. Here is a beginners guide for storytelling: http://www.eldrbarry.net/roos/eest.htm Good l...

Mike, you are certainly entitled to your opinion. The great thing is, you will find both here. For myself, I love the music when it is done right. It can help set the mood of the story. If the music is done poorly, it certainly can be a distractio...

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. Ning has a lot of traction these days and might give us a platform for expanding our listenership by sharing the audiences we all have.

Whatever the perception, the reality is that podiobooks listeners are really early adopters.

Nice Press

Well, this is my first entry into the blog for this site. The first thing that I want to say is, "Thank you Evo." This site is pretty nice, and I'm certain it will just get better.

I also want to point you to a nice article that my local newspaper just ran about our podcast.
