Very nicely read. Just two little things: At 8:36 and 8:56, there are noticeable thumps in the background. You might want to edit those out.

Re: [GROUP/SCIENCE FICTION] Potemkin Village, by Fletcher Pratt

Hi Winnifred, I will MC this for you. Question for you, Christine. I just saw in another project that the MC said that two digits are the minimum for the section number in the file names. I’d removed one digit on this project, thinking that file names only required one because there are fewer than ...

Folks who have quiet recording spaces (and my results when I record at my public library recording studio) are in that range. You don't really need to worry until it...
