    Deirdre Gardner finds a lost cassette tape from 1992 in the attic of a townhouse in an abandoned golf-course community and embarks on a mission to remind us all of the forgotten musical genius, Wim Faros. It Makes A Sound follows Deirdre’s nostalgic journey into Wim’s legacy: a quest to restore what is missing and to revive the sound of a generation. It Makes A Sound is a full-hearted musical fiction podcast and an homage to fandom in all its quirky glory.  What begins as an intimate and urgent one-woman broadcast blossoms into an unexpected ensemble piece, in a story about using music as a bridge from the past to the present, and transcending solitude and loss with a jolt of whimsy, faith, and rock and roll. Created by and starring Jacquelyn Landgraf, with a killer soundtrack of original music, and featuring a cast of Broadway, off-Broadway, and indie rock voices, including Annie Golden, Melissa Mahoney, Nate Weida, Wesley Zurick, and Roberta Colindrez. To quote a top podcast critic, “It Makes A Sound helped redefine what storytelling in audio can be.”  Do you remember Wim Faros? Season 1 produced by Night Vale Presents.
