Outstanding!

Unlike previous commenters, I have no direct experience with this condition, and I found this piece incredibly effective at giving me at least a glimpse of what it must be like. Aubrey Ralph's use of effects, radio drama, music and other elements (including really interesting and effective metaphors) paints a picture that would be simply impossible with words alone. A wonderful example of the power of audio. Well done!

  • Summary: When you look into the eyes of someone who’s Bi-Polar, it’s like looking at a hurricane from space. You can see the swirling mass, but the real horror and devastation are a hundred miles below you, only visible in your imagination. I have been fighting this for most of my life, and using story and sound design I'll take you into my mind, so you can see what that storm looks like from the inside.
