0:29.9 | Ha-k-he-ch-he-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-hhh Okay. You're listening to 20,000 Hertz. I'm Dallas Taylor. Oh, hold on. Let's do that one more time. You're listening to 20,000 Hertz. I'm Dallas Taylor. There we go. |
0:42.3 | Since I've been making this very podcast, I've had to start thinking about something I have never thought about in my entire life, my own voice. Every episode tells the story of people who study and design the way our world sounds. |
0:47.3 | But getting really meta here, it's my voice communicating these stories, and it's super weird, and I hate my voice just as much as you do. |

1:37.1 | No, sir. |
1:41.0 | In addition to acting and voice acting, he's also been on the radio for decades. |
1:45.8 | Well, that's where I started. That's where I've had a foothold for coming on 35 years now as a so-called grown-up. |
