   Thanks for making my working hours so much more endurable today, this was so enjoyable to listen to!
   (And very long lasting since I instantly had "never gonna give you up" stuck on my brain after you sung "always gonna be around, never gonna run away" for the rest of the day. Who'd thought I'd ever get rickrolled by a podfic xD...)

   As always, I love the nuanced character voices so much <3 All the little details and emotion in Stede's voice that really display the width of his character so well were wonderful to listen to, from his performative on stage voice, to the bitchy annoyance over Izzy and the soft and fascinated tone he speaks to Ed with. His surprised and awed little 'ooh' when Anne Bonney reads the cocktail description was so lovely and his overthinking when he thought Ed wouldn't show up just heartbreaking.
   I absolutely adore Ed's low, flirty voice in the 7 league boots conversation and Lucius teasing Stede will always be a highlight <3. What was the most surprise to me was your Anne Bonney voice, I'm not sure I have heard that before (or maybe just very rarely, and it might have changed a bit?), but I liked it really much!

   The sound effects (the echoing mic effect, the band in chorus and the overlays of song/music and narration worked so well and created a great atmosphere for this setting!
   And hearing you sing just always makes me smile and immediately brightens my mood <3

      I do love getting to sing in character! I had to change Stede’s speaking voice a bit to match the bit of singing. Otherwise it would have been hard to “hear” the singing as the same person.
      This was such a fun AU to knock about in!
      Thank you always for your thoughtful and detailed comment💕
