1. The music playing behind the story is incredibly distracting. I miss when we would just let the stories speak for themselves instead of fluffing them up woth music and sound effects. It distracts and doesn’t add to the experience.

2. What’s the name of the bar in the story?

3. The bar in the story is the Brooklyn Inn.

   Every now and then, we hear from people who don’t like that we have music and sound design in the radio style stories. On our end, we like it. We do not at all agree that it doesn’t add to the experience. About 75% of the content we produce are stories told live in front of an audience that don’t have music or sound design. But from the very first episode of RISK! in October of 2009, we’ve also included these radio style stories to add variety to the listening experience. – Kevin

4. Beautiful story! Melts my heart.
   I agree the music adds to the immersive experience of the stories, please don’t change it.

6. May, the music at the end (and also very beginning) “In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning” as performed by Oscar Peterson and Ben Webster. Is that the one you’re asking about?

9. This is the ultimate luxury……beautiful lazy jazz providing the perfect backdrop to Kevin’s dulcet tones. I felt drawn in completely and didn’t want to leave.
