audiocomicscompany.comThere’s a lot of audio theater out there on the web. I tell people there’s probably more audio theater being made now than there was during the heyday, the Golden Age of Radio. Maybe that’s true. Maybe it isn’t. It’s certainly true that there’s a bigger variety of works available now. Science fiction and Fantasy are a very large percentage of what’s new in audio drama, partly because it lends itself so well to the medium.
We would like to thank the Geek Partnership Society (GPS) for their generous sponsorship for a dozen years or so, and thank CONvergence for their support in giving us a stage to present the awards and a chance to spread the word that there’s a lot of good audio stories out there. Please give it a listen.

ly brings the exciting new audio project Hibernal to audiophile ears. Hibernal blends instrumental music with original sci-fi storylines. Have a listen to the freeshare track and get yourself the whole shebang! For just five dollars for the entire album (nine for the amazing album cover art and eight page notes), it’s almost a steal!
