The archaeological team rushes to beat the storm to Base Camp Piedra so they may begin excavation efforts.
This has easily been the episode with the most difficulties that we could not have prepared for.
We had to recast and re-record a lead actress in under 1 week. We flew over 10,000 miles to our live show, the Austin Film Festival, Florida, Maine, and PodTales. We pulled off a 2 hour live show! Protests in Chile prevented another actress from recording safely (delaying us 2 weeks). One of our other leads was unable to record retakes until Saturday morning before release, as he's in the middle of a 1500 mile move. -And because so much of the timing of this episode is specifically dependent on the voices (and I got sick on Saturday) we didn't get a full Sound Effect cut until Sunday at 11am Pacific, at which time our show's mixing engineer became violently ill. At the last second, the extremely talented Jeff Clement from the NoSleep podcast stepped in and saved the day! We just finished the final mix after a VERY LONG night of work.
We are extremely proud of this episode, not only because it brings us back on schedule, back toward normalcy, but because of its hidden complexities. The airport audio was recorded at four different airports in October, the bird featured in this episode (a "great grebe") was VERY difficult to track down, and hours of work went into researching & recording the very specific helicopter featured in this episode, as they are also difficult to find and record. As always, thank you for your patience and support!
