Cory Choy of Silver Sound joins us to talk about his sound studio, his collaborations with Leslie, and his love of Sumo Chicken, an eggcellent series we're all working on about, you guessed it, a chicken who loves sumo! Listen to episodes 1 and 2 of Sumo Chicken and help us with future episodes! We hope you'll get involved with story ideas or music.
\n\nCory also announces The Silver Sound Sonic Dash, a contest for people who love audio storytelling. It's a 48-hour style audio storytelling competition featuring $10,000 worth of prizes. More about Sonic Dash here:
