When we asked our listeners to send us their summer sound recordings,we weren't sure how many we'd gain (possibly 30, 35?). But you sent us close to 150 sounds. You took us to Spanish Harlem. You took us to Spain. You woke us up early to hear the parrots in Queens. You kept us up late with coyotes in Westchester. We listened to every single sound, and it was a joy. Thank you - really - to everyone who submitted.
Now here's the fun part: We're turning your summer sounds into a storytelling challenge. Listen above to the 90-moment audio medley we created using your sound submissions. Then,write a story that correspondswith those sounds. Be as creative as you can - it doesn't necessarily need to be grounded in reality, it just needs to manufacture sense with the sounds. Submit your story below, or we'll expect the best storytellers to read their piece on the air.
And the deadline: anytime before our show on Tuesday,September 22nd (10am) - but keep in mind, whether we maintain ample time to read your story we're more likely to contact you! loadSurvey( "submit-your-own-summer-sound-story", or "survey_submit-your-own-summer-sound-story");
