Welcome back!

In our last episode: We find out that Steve is spending the summer with Uncle Shameless in River City and that Steve doesn’t have much use for imagination and make-believe.  Uncle Shameless decides that the two of them should go on a canoe trip down the Grand River, which brings us to…

Today’s episode: In our second episode, our heroes take off on their canoe trip, where they see all kinds of interesting things on the Grand River. They see turtles, swans and ducks.  Sadly, most of the trip is spoiled for Steve by Uncle Shameless’ off-key singing and bad jokes. Just when Steve can’t take any more nonsense, the pair come across an eerie sight on the river.

Technical Notes: this episode was recorded with a different microphone than the proceeding episodes, so there will be some sound differences.  Likewise, I’m still learning the fine art of audio mixing, so this first episode might sound a little rough in spots. I’m getting better with each episode though, and the same goes for my voice acting.

Music is provided by GarageBand, as well as most of the sound effects. Other sound effects I made myself.

Ramblings (added 7.14.10): New listeners will hear a fake credit roll call at the end of this episode and for the next few. I got tired of doing that, and put a stop to it, mainly because it wasn’t that funny, and it equaled more work.

Next Time on The Magic of Eyri (4.26.09): Our heroes take a canoe trip down the Grand River and Uncle Shameless annoys Steve with singing and bad jokes.  But it isn’t all fun, as they see some strange things on the river.
