My podcasting roots are steeped in sci-fi, though I don’t listen to many short stories. Shows like Dust are helping me fix that. Not only are the stories excellent and the narrators/voice actors top-notch, but the scoring is fantastic. Far too many audiobook-adjacent podcasts are stuck with the old attitudes about adding sounds (and I agree it can be easily overdone). But the deft touch the creators of Dust use to enhance the story with sounds is shows podcasters shouldn’t be stuck with the way things were.
