About the Show

One Sentence Description: It Makes A Sound is a musical fiction podcast about how a daughter caretaking for her mother in a decrepit golf course community accidentally creates a wild multi-generational band that becomes a cult sensation. #rememberWimFaros

Full Description: A lost cassette tape from 1992 has been found in a dusty attic, containing the only known recording of the first concert of Wim Faros. Season one follows Deirdre Gardner on a quest to revive the soundtrack of a generation, and wake up her decrepit hometown of Rosemary Hills Golf Course Community to all that’s been forgotten. We learn that Deirdre’s tenacity to resurrect the songs of the mysterious former resident Wim Faros is fueled by her struggle with her mother’s advancing dementia. Music triggers memories, and before they know it, Deirdre and her mother are fronting an avant-garde, multi-generational band. In Season two, the town of Rosemary Hills is in foreclosure and Deirdre is striving to care for her mother in a nursing home. While the golf course festers in its eleventh hour before being razed and turned into a cemetery, mysterious messages begin to appear, insisting that "Wim Faros Lives." As things fall apart around her, Deirdre must reckon with the fact that her public plea to get people to remember Wim Faros has created a cult sensation.
