[[caption-width-right:250:Remember Wim Faros.]]
''It Makes a Sound'' is a serial fiction {{Podcast}} from the Creator/NightValePresents network, written by and starring Creator/JacquelynLandgraf as Deirdre Gardner, a nostalgic childhood fan of local musician Wim Faros, who uses her amateur radio show to wax rhapsodic over his life and work in the hopes of revitalizing Rosemary Hills, the podunk, declining hometown where they both grew up.

''Sound'' airs biweekly on Sundays beginning September 24th, 2017 and can be found on [[https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/id1279389864 iTunes]], [[http://itmakesasound.libsyn.com/ Libsyn]], [[https://play.radiopublic.com/it-makes-a-sound-GZp0EJ RadioPublic]], [[https://play.google.com/music/listen#/ps/Itmifob2ibk3c53c4q7vgwdjanq Google Play]], [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCR44R3tvRUeZCBfEGJSbduQ/videos?disable_polymer=1 YouTube]], [[https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/night-vale-presents/it-makes-a-sound?refid=stpr Stitcher]] and the [[http://www.nightvalepresents.com/itmakesasound Night Vale Presents]] website.
-------
* LargeHam: When Deirdre gets going, she positively ''evangelizes'' musician Wim Faros in the most florid, ecstatic terms, as though she were the preacher in a church.
* RealisticDictionIsUnrealistic: Deirdre's show appears minimally scripted, and her halting speech, dysfluencies, mumbled asides and off-mic interruptions only serve to underscore a beginner's lack of planning, though she makes up for it in sheer melodramatic zeal for her subject.
* ShowWithinAShow: ''It Makes a Sound'' is Deirdre's rather unprofessional, hyperlocal radio show dedicated to the love of all things Wim Faros.
* StylisticSuck: Deirdre doesn't necessarily seem to have planned out the production of her show very well, as she interrupts and corrects herself, appears to freestyle segments on-the-fly, and hasn't soundproofed her workspace, so that environmental animal sounds (likely from an open window) and fellow residents of her house can be heard.
