A collaborative effort with Larry Payne (https://www.linkedin.com/in/larry-payne-b64a532/) This was his description: IT'S A PLEASURE to present Ralph Duke in his reading from the audio drama "Heartless," a project in development by yours truly. I had split the piece into two parts–the narrative intro and the two-person dialogue–so that I could experience the sense of discovery that Mr. Duke would contribute. Now, as I hear his voice with the visual accompaniment, it's clear to me that he has great empathy for the stories and characters he reads.
