Modern "Old-Time" Radio
While doing voice work about a year ago, I came across a very strong character "voice". The sound of the voice, while theatrical, seemed powerfully authentic. As I writer I've always been led by inner voices – but never by an outer voice, let alone one I'd come up with.
Although I love your influences, I doubted your doppelgänger based on musical taste and technological savvy. My grandma is Sleeves' age and I have to help her set her VCR clock - and have yet to meet a peer of hers with an interest in podcasting.
Sounds like old school radio. I can imagine myself sitting around the radio listening to your stories. Nice storytellers voice.
Now Sleeves will have one comment entry for every year he's been rattling around the earth on his boneshaker velocipede, planting poppy seedlings for opium tea. LOVE Sleeves, HATE Sean! Ironic, n'est-ce-pas?

This is simply smashing! I was ready to say I hoped I had that much gas in my tank at 79. Oustanding voice acting, and your regular voice ain't too shabby either. The concept blows me away.
And here is my very ordinary entry. Please tell me what you think.
because you will most likely be with us longer. Wonderful character. Keep broadcasting.

Great voice(s), great production, really good writing, and a clever transition from character to self. Kudos, man, this is one of the best.
I like your entry, especially when your true voice comes through. Great job.

Wow. It's like someone made a delicious HP Lovecraft/Tom Waits radioshake! I'm gobsmacked. Well done.
I wish I hadn't posted my entry now: you win. But you should quit smoking.
Here's your winner. I'd go out of my way to catch this show.
I was going to bookmark your website so I could listen all the time!

Sherwin Sleeves has the talent, the writing, the voice, and the sincerity. He has it all, and I would listen to him every week. Good luck!
You sucked me in, you sucked me in hard. I wanna hear more of you for sure.

You had me at the "79 years old"....great voice. I wonder how much you could make doing movie trailors...sounds like this came straight off the movie screen.

It's nice to hear a fellow thespian trying to revive this artform. This is a very rich character you've created. I think there's potential to do quite a bit with him. Please listen to my piece of radio theater and tell me what you think! http://www.publicradioquest.com/audio/user/5385
Great storytelling. I'd like more. I'd also like to hear more about what goes on in the background - interplay between the writing and music, etc.

There isn't enough real story telling on the radio. I'd love to hear more of this, Sean. Fantastic work!
So... this guy won already, right?
I've heard nothing better than this. It just makes me glad there is a top ten first so someone else might have a chance at the big three! Sure, I like my own piece, and others, too, but this guy has MY top vote! I can't wait to tune in to the weekly broadcast.

am not sure if it was the enchantment , the voices, the picture in my mind ,,,,,,,,,just fantastic to listen to !
I think I could listen to you all day... or better still, late on a cold night, snuggled under the covers.
The radio needs more true hauntings. Sleeves's hypnotic voice vibrates at the exact resonant frequency as my soul, sublimating it into the stratosphere. Delicious!
I may have a slight bias being Mr. Sleeves slightly younger sister, but to know my big brother has such amazing talent makes me want to shout off the rooftops,scream on the top of my lungs, and let the nation in on the best kept secret New Hampshire has had since no sales tax!
This is the most innovative, addictive and well-written broadcast I've ever heard anywhere, be it TV, public radio, or the internet.
Sleeves is a genius and deserves his rightful place amongst the giants of storytelling.
Excellent piece! Although, I don't appreciate being lied to. ;) Well done, good sir.
Atoms, Motion, and the Void is a very well written, imaginative show.
This is certainly something I would tune in to hear regularly.

I've been familiar with Sleeves' songs for a while but I only recently listened to his show. While I've only listened to a handful of broadcasts but so far I've been blown away. It's not the typical show and it might not be for everyone but if the average radio show had 1/10th of Sleeves' creativity the radio landscape would be in vastly better shape.
