Hear Savannah

Reynolds Square

The first stop. An excerpt.

Audio sample pending final production asset.

Reynolds Square is where it starts. This is the opening, read by Eamon Kinsman. Enough to get inside the story. The rest belongs to the square.

The experience

Written for the ground you are standing on.

Every stop was researched before it was written, and read aloud before it was finished.

Where the record is solid, you hear it plainly. Where Savannah has carried a story for generations, you get the story first, at full strength, before anyone starts checking it.

Sometimes the checking makes it better. A date that will not work. Two versions that cannot both be true. A house that keeps its reputation long after the reason for it comes apart.

Your tour, your pace

Start when you want. Bring whoever you want.

No departure time. No group to catch. You open the first stop when you are ready, tap each one as you reach it, and stand there as long as you like. Nothing plays on its own.

  • It runs in your phone browser. Nothing to install.
  • One purchase covers four devices, so nobody has to lean in to share a phone.
  • The 72 hours begin when you start the tour, not when you buy it. Buy it before the trip and open it when you get there.

Route and practicals

Before you go.

When to walk

Daylight, golden hour and early evening. It is written to work in all three, and the squares are worth seeing while there is still light on them.

  • It starts at Reynolds Square.
  • Bring a charged phone and headphones. The audio streams, so plan to use mobile data.
  • Keep the volume low enough to hear traffic and stay on the sidewalks. Let the story wait while you cross.

Who made it

The voice you walk with.

Eamon Kinsman narrates Ghosts of the Squares in his own voice, recorded for this tour. Nothing synthetic. Nothing cloned.

The writing keeps the distinction just as clear. What the record can support is stated plainly. What Savannah carries as legend is named as legend. The tension between them is part of the story.

Questions

Before you decide.

Is there an app to download?

No. It opens in your phone browser. Nothing to install.

Does it work without a signal?

No. The audio streams, so bring a charged phone and expect to use data.

When does the 72 hours start?

When you start the tour, not when you buy it. Buy it before the trip and open it when you get there.

Can four of us use one purchase?

Yes. Four devices on one purchase, so everyone walks with their own audio.

When is the best time to walk it?

Daylight, golden hour or early evening. That is what it was written for.
