Chapter 5 of “Frankenstein” by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley found in Project Gutenberg-tm. Read by Breanna Butler. Please see Credits for sound clips used.
I loved reading horror stories when I was growing up. Some of my favorites included gothic literature like Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley’s Frankenstein. When I was a teacher, I played audiobooks while the students read along (multiple modalities), and they especially liked the ones with sound effects or music in them. It would create a more immersive environment. I could not always afford to buy the nice audiobooks for my classes, so I was sometimes limited to what I could find in the library or on YouTube. Taking my love of horror and using my classroom experience as inspriation, I thought it would be fun to create a podcast that read horror stories from the works available in Project Gutenberg-tm. Since the scene is set during a storm, I added the light rain and thunder sound. Then, I faded from the light rain to the music; I felt music adequately terrifying.
I struggled quite a bit with writing a script I liked and then figuring out what assets to use. I still could not come up with a sound effect or an ambient sound to use, so if you have a suggestion, that would be greatly appreciated.
This podcast is called “Chance Encounters” as a reference to the way that Surrealists drew inspiration from the magical feeling of a particularly strange coincidence. As someone who studied both art and philosophy, I have complicated feelings about logic and common sense, and I thought that a podcast where I could talk about anything nonsensical could cover most things I might want to discuss. In general, I wanted a podcast about the ways that people throughout history have responded to and expressed realities that defy explanation. My idea for a first episode, for instance, was on the origins of Dadaism and what it does and doesn’t have in common with Gen-Z and Gen-Alpha humor.

Children will be lulled to sleep by the soft voice of the story teller. I imagine a podcast that reads a new story each night, that kids can fall asleep to. The crickets can be used as a transition sound and as a sort of white noise to promote sleep.
