What IS the most beautiful sound?

*Car door shuts, ignition revs, wheels turn on the pavement* Sound effects that transport you to a specific place are bread and butter for podcasts. But when does adding sound effects move a story along, and when do they merely confuse the listener? To explore this, we touched base with one of last year's Student Podcast Challenge finalists, Alex Soto. Her podcast, What Is The Most Beautiful Sound?, utilized over 10 sound effects. In the wrong hands, this could have been a hot mess, but in Alex's podcast, it totally worked. This week on The Students' Podcast, hear how Alex struck a balance between sound and interviews.
