We've already heard from [Greta Clarkson](https://www.localfiles.club/5-questions-greta-clarkson/), star of *Ms. Shipton's Travelling Tea Shop*, and today we're checking in with Jude Hodgson Hann. Today's the day, by the way: [*Ms. Shipton's Travelling Tea Shop*](https://www.localfiles.club/lfc-001-ms-shipton/), the first release from Local Files Club and the latest audio fiction creation from Skadi's Symphony, is out in the world! You can go [buy a copy on Bandcamp right now](https://localfilesclub.bandcamp.com/album/ms-shiptons-travelling-tea-shop?ref=localfiles.club) and instantly receive the full five-part audiodrama, commentary tracks, original soundtrack, 8-page illustrated zine, and a bonus poem read by Jude Hodgson Hann as Misery the cat. [Ms. Shipton's Travelling Tea Shop by Skadi's Symphony](https://localfilesclub.bandcamp.com/album/ms-shiptons-travelling-tea-shop?ref=localfiles.club) Jude's pawprints—er, sorry, fingerprints—are all over *Ms. Shipton*. In addition to playing Misery, you'll hear his sound design mastery in the clatter of tea cups, the whistle of a kettle, and the slurp of a brew, amongst other sputters and clanks. And long-time Skadi's Symphony followers will recognize his sound design work on [*Kane and Feels*](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/kane-and-feels-the-horror-noir-podcast/id1291486608?ref=localfiles.club) and his voice as the narrator. --- ![Jude Hodgson Hann headshot](https://www.localfiles.club/content/images/2025/11/Jude-1.jpg) ### How would you describe yourself to a stranger at a party? I'm a pretty big nerd who loves all types of games. I'm a sound designer by trade and I love horror, sci-fi, and a list of music that's too long to get into... unless you're interested? ### How do you organize your files? When I can be bothered to... fairly litigiously. Underscores are your friend. ### What was the first audiodrama you fell in love with? The radio series of [*The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy*](https://libro.fm/audiobooks/9781408409084-the-hitchhiker-s-guide-to-the-galaxy-primary-phase?ref=localfiles.club). I listened to the primary and secondary phases to death until I realised there were more by the incredible Dirk Maggs. Then proceeded to rinse those as well. Don't Panic! ### Describe your favorite sound effect. The horn from [*The Lighthouse*](https://youtu.be/Hyag7lR8CPA?si=qXq4RsI7oTz%5FLCzV&ref=localfiles.club) by Robert Eggers. It's such a haunting, oppressive, and expressive drone, and the way it charges up just tickles the brain in the best way. That or the computer loading sound from *Aliens*. Analogue forever! ### What’s the best piece of audio-fiction-making advice you’ve ever received? To ouroboros myself, it would have to be a lecture given by Dirk Maggs at my university in Bournemouth. He spoke about approaching sound as if it were a film. Which sounds innocuous, but it changed the way I approached the medium. Thinking about things texturally, blocking scenes to figure out the spatial elements, and not being afraid to push the envelope and think big with your sound design. --- Want to stay abreast of everything Jude is working on?
