3 - The Not-So-Good Old Days, Part 2

Hi there! I'm Julie, creator and writer of WHEN in Rhapsody. Right now, I'm having trouble contacting one of the castmembers, and until I get their lines for the next episode I won't be able to finish editing it and upload it.
In the meantime, here's a portion of what I have finished editing: a phone call between Steve and Edna. Edna is, of course, played by the lovely Claire McNerney; Steve is voiced by the amazing Alex Schulz, and a new character - Steve's mother, Ilse Rogers - is played by the amazing Barbex.
And finally, an announcement: we're looking for a new audio editor for WHEN. If you're interested, you can email us at wheninrhapsody@gmail.com for more information. You don't need to have experience! (I myself had no experience until I put together the jingle and the teaser.) The deadline for this is August 1.
