In the second episode, we did not really make that much\nprogress except for getting introduced to two new characters, as well as getting\na recap and the discovery of a second barrel. The third and fourth episodes snowballs\nus into more action compared to the second episode. Jason Moon, the narrator\nfor this podcast, gives us background information to start off with, just like\nhow he has been doing in the past couple episodes. This is to reel in the listeners\nand keep them listening and interested\/hooked. In episode three, he was recapping\nthe previous episodes and explaining the event of a press conference on the\ncold case. And in episode four, he goes off to cover a case regarding a woman\nnamed Eunsoon Jun and her \u201cinteresting\u201d love interest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In both episodes, however, we do not get introduced to the\npodcast until a little later into the episodes, unlike the first and second episode,\nwhere we were introduced pretty early on. Like I said in the previous paragraph,\nhe spends the time not introducing the podcast to get the listener hooked to\nkeep listening. After listening to the first three episodes, I came to realize\nthey all have similar structures. It usually starts off with background\ninformation and recap, as well as an introduction of what is to come. I thought\nit was odd though that Jason Moon introduces the case with Eunsoon Jun out of\nnowhere in episode four because it seemed pretty unrelated to the previous\nepisode. At the end of the third episode, we were left on a slight cliffhanger when\nthey mentioned a woman who might fear a certain man. The introduction of\nEunsoon Jun seemed out of left field, but the introduction combined with the\ncliffhanger from the previous episode is also a way of hooking the listener\nbecause of how unrelated it might have seemed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like with the previous episodes, the music in all the episodes\nreally help build up the drama and suspense, as this podcast is all about\nmystery. The music is always important to help build-up, setting the tone, and\ntransition. In episode three, they used a lot more dramatic music whenever we\nlearned of new information or developments in the case, and in contrast, the narration\nhad more static-like music. With the plot being pushed forward now, adding the\ndramatic music really helps create a more intense suspenseful build-up. What I\nfound really interesting too was that they used certain sfx to make the listener\nfeel like they were immersed in the situation with the narrator. It really\nfeels like we\u2019re on the journey with them to finding the truth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adding in the new developments, this would get anyone hooked\non the story, in my opinion. They do really well with building up and giving us\nbackground information all throughout the episodes and help us try to create\nour own ideas about the situation. The episodes are structured pretty\nsimilarly, so we as the listeners know what to expect when we start listening right\naway. I think the structure they use is also really helpful because if you\nhaven\u2019t listened to the podcast in a while, you\u2019d get a really good\nsummary\/recap of the previous episodes. Personally, this podcast has kept me\npretty interested, so I will listen to the last couple episodes in my own time\nwhen I get the chance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
