I love the work you've done here with details and description, like "sliding in sock feet". Your music and sound effects are fabulous as well. You left us wanting! I'm desperate to hear what happens at the Red Velvet! An abandoned movie theatre is a great setting for a mystery climax. Dun Dun DUNNN!!! -- Roxanne rparker85 https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1494505181 2021-05-05 16:00:32 UTC https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1494505181 rparker85 https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1494558120 2021-05-05 16:10:46 UTC https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1494558120 Nolan, talk about a heart-stopping adventure! You should be especially proud of your action scenes, like the almost drowning and Anthony's kidnapping. Well done on establishing a clear setting. Your use of varied vocabulary, sentence structure, and figurative language make your boat so real! Finally, I love that the protagonists aren't able to see the resolution -- it does a great job tying up the theme running through your podcasts about the pluses and minuses of being a kid. -- Roxanne rparker85 https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1494573901 2021-05-05 16:13:51 UTC https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1494573901 rparker85 https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1494625605 2021-05-05 16:23:52 UTC https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1494625605 rparker85 https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1494894386 2021-05-05 17:19:07 UTC https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1494894386 rparker85 https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1494911486 2021-05-05 17:22:24 UTC https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1494911486 rparker85 https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1494963411 2021-05-05 17:32:26 UTC https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1494963411 rparker85 https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1495024110 2021-05-05 17:44:26 UTC https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1495024110 rparker85 https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1495029470 2021-05-05 17:45:30 UTC https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1495029470 rparker85 https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1495042189 2021-05-05 17:48:06 UTC https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1495042189 rparker85 https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1495051675 2021-05-05 17:49:58 UTC https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1495051675 rparker85 https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1495116392 2021-05-05 18:03:52 UTC https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1495116392 rparker85 https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1495121793 2021-05-05 18:05:05 UTC https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1495121793 rparker85 https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1495126095 2021-05-05 18:06:02 UTC https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1495126095 Thea, I love your use of sensory details, like the rose perfume. It really makes me lose myself in the story. Your use of figurative language makes your story poetic. Your voice acting is so believable and natural — I forgot I was listening to Thea, and totally thought I was listening to Abigail! Your word choice also brings your characters to life — for example, Mrs. Bennet’s tone is so stuffy and formal. Finally, I love the contrast between the angelic mother in the beginning, and the jewelry thief in the end. You left quite a cliffhanger -- why did the mother take it?! I want to know more! -- Roxanne rparker85 https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1496289916 2021-05-06 01:21:56 UTC https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1496289916 rparker85 https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1517817061 2021-05-12 15:03:21 UTC https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1517817061 Meghan, I love how many collaborators you had for your podcast -- so many different voices! I know getting that many people through recording and organizing took a lot of time. It also sets up a really rich set of characters -- lots of potential suspects! This definitely will make your podcast exciting. The characters seem very natural and realistic; great job with their dialogue! I also love the way you gave an intro and a sign-out to the episode. Very nice! I want to hear more -- WHO TOOK THE BOAT?! rparker85 https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1517818606 -- Roxanne]]> 2021-05-12 15:03:40 UTC https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1517818606 rparker85 https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1517861296 2021-05-12 15:12:37 UTC https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1517861296 rparker85 https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1518128281 2021-05-12 16:10:51 UTC https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1518128281 Jurni, great job with your podcast! I can really see the way your story evolved over time; all your revising and editing really shows. I hope you're proud! I love the first-person narration; it makes you feel really close to the narrator. The ending really cracked me up as well -- who's footing the bill for all that food?! It leaves me wanting to know who poisoned the friend, and why. Nice job! -- Roxanne rparker85 https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1518276800 2021-05-12 16:43:41 UTC https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1518276800 rparker85 https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1518304653 2021-05-12 16:49:43 UTC https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1518304653 Isaac, your podcast really made me laugh! I loved the casual repartee of the narrator -- it reminded me of the narrators in the books ~The Name of This Book Is Secret~ and ~A Series of Unfortunate Events~. Have you read those series? Your incorporation of slang, like Yeetsusdude, also made me laugh. You did a great job with various voices, like the creepy whisper of "I will destroy you!" Finally, the ending was such a twist! I'd love to hear Season 2! -- Roxanne rparker85 https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1518331431 2021-05-12 16:55:30 UTC https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1518331431 rparker85 https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1527033673 2021-05-15 13:08:26 UTC https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1527033673 Lena, you have so much to be proud of here! First of all, the voice acting was phenomenal. It sounded so professional! For example, the lines “Lily, wait up!” and “Where’s Gracie?!” had so much force behind them. It's so special that you got your family involved. It was fun to hear their voices; I hope you all had an equally fun time making it. You did a good job letting the plot unfold naturally -- the eventual reveal of Sam Watson's story came at just the right time. The shift to the setting of the mysterious warehouse was really heightened the tension of the climax. I think you did a really wonderful job with the ending as well. It's open to a sequel, with Sam saying, "You haven't seen the last of me!", but it also ends on a sweet note with the New Years Eve do-over. Bravo! rparker85 https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1531149495 2021-05-17 13:24:41 UTC https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1531149495 Miriam, what a creative, cool story! The way you started in the middle of the action -- in media res, in fancy terms -- immediately hooked me. I also loved your work with internal monologue, meaning what a character is thinking. For example, "She didn't really think so, but she'd try anyway." It makes me giggle, and reminds me of the writing style of Judy Blume. (Have you read any of her work?) However, the best part for me was the cryptic notes! You were so creative, incorporating riddles and word puzzles. I bet they took a long time to write. You left us right at the best part! WHO TOOK ELIZABETH?! -- Roxanne rparker85 https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1540833503 2021-05-19 18:09:25 UTC https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1540833503 Stella, WHEW! What an absolute rollercoaster! First of all, it is incredibly impressive that you recorded the whole story -- so many wonderful episodes! You had impeccable timing with the starts and stops as well, making sure each episode left the listener wanting more. This includes the last episode -- Season 2, coming soon? I still don't entirely trust that Uncle. Your quick movement from setting to setting (the party, new house, the park, Space Needle, NEW WORLD, etc) was really engaging. Your word choice, description, and syntax is fabulous -- from the darkly mysterious, to the hilarious (Mozzarella Breadsticks!) Finally, I want to know -- did you make that music yourself? At the beginning, it's so eerie, and then when it speeds up, it's kind of a bop, I'm not going to lie. Nice job! rparker85 https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1541198655 -- Roxanne]]> 2021-05-19 19:48:28 UTC https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1541198655 Elliot, kudos on all the work you put into this amazing podcast! You did a great job writing a mystery that is action packed, and feels like a spy adventure. It definitely gets the heart pounding. I love the way you incorporated current events to make your mystery feel relevant and compelling. Your writing here shows incredible attention to description, both in terms of sensory details, and in terms of adjective and adverbs. You really put us in the middle of the action here! Nice job! P.S. Shout out to Mars for his huge amount of voice acting! rparker85 https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1554816777 2021-05-24 18:07:29 UTC https://padlet.com/rparker85/nzlxbob55d57bdsz/wish/1554816777
