Hey listeners, usually on 20,000 Hertz, I tell you stories about sound, but this time

I want to hear your stories.

If you have a personal story that you'd like to share with us about something revolving

around sound or music, I'd like for you to tell me in your own voice.

Your story can be quirky, funny, sad, nostalgic, you name it.

No need to edit or polish your recordings before sending.

If you do this, we might just use it in an upcoming episode.

There are two ways to send us your story.

First, the easiest way is to visit the web address high.20k.org.

Second, for those of you who'd like to record it yourself in your own way,

you can send us the way file any way you choose to the email address high at 20k.org.

However, please don't edit or put any processing on your recording.

We'll do that for you.

I just want you to be you. Thanks.

This episode is sponsored by Pro Sound Effects, a sound effects library that I use all the time

in my job as a sound designer. With Pro Sound Effects, you can find over one million amazing

sound effects by some of the world's greatest sound designers.

And that includes the guest on today's show, Mark Mangini.

In the middle and at the end of the show, you'll hear more about why Pro Sound Effects is so useful,

and why Mark chose it as the home for his personal sound library.

Now, just to be clear, we made this episode the exact same way we always do.

We had full creative control, and Mark let me ask him whatever I wanted.
