    Anyone else catch the excellent Hitchcock marathons on TCM this past September? I have to say it's made me a fan of his work.

    The 39 Steps is my favourite Hitchcock film.

    I actually think this story would be really great if converted into an audio format. Anyone up to finding/recording all those stock noises and compiling them?

    Done and done. http://mfi.re/listen/ovc46xpcccg9g4p/FoldstoryAudio.wav Note: That is my own voice. One minute "I Dream of Jeannie" a cappella is for rolling credits. I hope to add text and make it a YouTube video with everyone credited. Tell your friends.

    I was thinking, oh yeah, maybe i'll get around to it... Chaz is the Flash! When I listen there are regular interruptions of the sound. Anyone else getting that?

    The site is kind of laggy.

    My remix would be Vincent Price literally reading the onomatopoeia around. Oh, wait, but I think he's deceased.

    Awesome stuff, Chaz! Nice to hear a story come to life like this.

    Nice, Chaz! Thanks for putting that together. :) FYI, the lag on the download site is probably due to the file being an uncompressed WAV. If you were to convert it to an MP3, it would stream just fine on most connections.

    Inspired by Chaz I read out this story: http://foldingstory.com/rnl0g/ and posted it but I don't know if it'll work or anything.

    Chaz and lucielucie, it looks like I'll be reading your folds in those melodious voices of yours from now on. I did a reading too. It's from the depths of the oldie vault. http://foldingstory.com/x10ru/7t9000/

    No, technically it started with Folding Story Illustrated on YouTube, which was even in one of the newsletters, back when they had them.
