PL notes for Chapter 8:
@ 20:43 - There needs to be five seconds of silence at the end of the recording: "End of Chapter 8. [Insert silence here.]"
@ 0:31-0:42 - Volume suddenly becomes very quiet during the next couple sentences: "Bonnie Prince Fetlar: The Story of a Pony ... Chapter 8: A Great Secret."
The volume is just a little too loud at 93.1 dB. Could you de-amplify a couple decibels to get it within the 86-92 dB range?
OPTIONAL: Also, some areas of your recording were a little quiet and difficult to hear, while other areas were quite loud. You may consider using Audacity's compression tool on your recording. (If you have not yet downloaded Audacity, here's the link -- it's a free, easy-to-use audio editor.) To compress your recording:
(The trick to the compressor tool is to temporarily add some extra seconds of silence at the very beginning of the recording. Otherwise, the beginning of the recording will have a muted, fade-in effect -- not sure why this happens.)

PL notes for Chapter 23:
@ 18:11 Missing outro - Please add the words "End of Chapter 23" followed by five seconds of silence to the end of your recording.
Also, don't forget to add the letters "kb" to the end of your file name, so that it reads as follows: bonnieprincefetlar_23_saunders_128kb.mp3
Great job! Haha -- that toad! Made me laugh!
