I've listened to this one for a bit over a minute and I had the urge to comment on this:

The sound effect of the rain made me look at my window, completely confused over the lack of water splashing against it.

Yeah, I've been getting pretty good at the immersive sound effect use, haven't I?

I don't know if anyone will even notice or not, but the scene on the deck of the ship actually uses a different rain sound effect from the first; the second was recorded outdoors from under an awning and therefore sounded different than the one recorded indoors for the first bit.

You know, details like that escapes me. I only know that the rain effect didn't bother me a single bit and must therefore have been recorded and mastered with I can only describe as skills and intuition.

Will awesomely terrifying signs, carvings and images otherwise be a running theme in the tale of our favourite Lord High Admiral? I'm thinking (hoping) it will.

You know, it's nothing I consciously set out to do, but come to think of it, yes, there is! I can think of at least two more in upcoming chapters, off the top of my head.

The same thing happened to me during an episode where Reginald was recounting his learning of the ancient martial art as a boy, and there was this shrill, squealing noise which always, always made me jump and look around the place for whatever I stepped on, or was about to attack me.
