I’m just getting a chance to watch the gold match of the sled hockey game that was on this morning. I feel with audio description being the radio broadcast. And the TV broadcast together. I feel like I’m understanding 98% of what is going on. #Olympics.

Twenty Thousand Hertz - Harry Potter and the Sound Designer’s Stone: https://www.20k.org/episodes/harry-potter

Harry Potter has been brought to life on page and screen. But what would it take to make the wizarding world come alive using sound alone? In this episode, we go behind the scenes of the new full-cast editions of the Harry Potter series, where a team of sound designers spent eighteen months crafting 130 hours of immersive audio. From the whistle of the Hogwarts Express to the rasp of the Dementors, every spell, creature, and location had to sound tangible and emotionally distinct.

@brian_hartgen Yes, you can turn off that feature. I understand your nervousness on doing that to get away and get rid of all your security. I don’t know if the keyboard would work in that case or a Face ID would work, but you do have 10 days return of phone if you trade it in and try and get a phone with Face ID.

I am watching Bridge over the river Kwai. I’ve never seen elk Guinness in anything but Star Wars movies. I keep expecting him to pull out his light, saber and attack the Japanese. Or use a Jedi mind trick on them.
