Question
Hi there, just a comment… It would be fantastic if you could change the sample to a small piece of the play instead of the introduction. It would give listeners a better idea of what they are buying.

Thanks for the suggestion! We have now changed the sample. If you listen to it now, it’s a small portion from Jim Weiss’s retelling of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”
