The characters, the sounds, the music, the way you can combine everything into a rich, layered atmosphere. And the freedom to just make it myself. I knew I had to at least give it a try.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f58063ea781e52a2cafe5e3/1600093453675-XNXKY2CZIFLPGQZ1TJS1/Coinmaster+and+Buggy.jpg About - One sound Kaiyala knew for sure he had to get right was that of the handling of a metaldetector. Rather than try to reproduce it with foley, he purchased a vintage Coinmaster IV on eBay from a collector in Wyoming. It’s the same model and era of metal detector that Kaiyala’s own grandfather used to dig up “coins, rings, and other stuff” decades ago. Whereas the first six chapters of Dirt - An Audio Drama, which were released together as act one, deal primarily with Joseph trying to understand an initial major piece of the puzzle, future chapters will delve deeper into the conflict between Joseph’s work responsibilities and his suddenly intense desire to find things that are hidden all over Washington state. A state that is rich in family history both in the podcast and outside of it. That’s perhaps what’s most at the heart of Dirt – An Audio Drama: the personal connection to Kaiyala’s own life. Although the story is completely made up, the newly minted podcast producer has no problem crediting inspiration for many of the story’s elements—and characters—with real events and people, particularly the character Aimo. https://www.dirtaudiodrama.com/gallery daily 0.75 2023-11-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f58063ea781e52a2cafe5e3/a35a2789-b3ff-40fd-88dc-05f20e593132/Palouse.jpg Gallery The Palouse in springtime south of Spokane https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f58063ea781e52a2cafe5e3/36b63608-b76c-4fdc-ab07-f2f997328823/Dry+Falls.jpg Gallery Dry Falls west of Wilson Creek https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f58063ea781e52a2cafe5e3/1685926955415-59YXQHA0U5F32DV40GPS/Hops.jpg Gallery Rows of hops near Wapato https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f58063ea781e52a2cafe5e3/049af213-7786-44eb-8a22-5fc1189f7555/Wilson+Creek.jpg Gallery Wilson Creek https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f58063ea781e52a2cafe5e3/1685927124521-J9F6K7QCMKRGB1VRPPK7/Tahoma.jpg Gallery Mt.
