WiR Ep. 1: The Words! (Deborah Pearson & Shane Solanki)

Voice Originals by Sensible Object

In the first episode of the Voice Originals podcast, we peer behind the scenes of writing for When in Rome: a travel trivia board game that works with your smart speaker. This week, we chat with When in Rome's dialogue directors: community-orientated artist Shane Solanki and playwright Deborah Pearson, diging into the process of sourcing and working with locals from different cities and creating all the wonderful words in the game. We look at what makes a good local, what makes home feel like home, how to evoke authenticity (and if that's even possible) and... whether robots are the future! The Voice Originals podcast takes a look behind the scenes at what goes into making the world's first series of voice connected games: board games that you play with your smart speaker!
