More Barrymore

Jack | April 30, 2009

To say that I love “Barrymore” produced by Colonial Radio Theatre, written by William Luce and starring Jerry Robbins, is like saying kids appreciate Halloween.  There’s just not enough adjectives in the English language to describe this theatrical experience. One gets the feeling that you’re not listening to an audio drama, but you’re experiencing a [...]

Escape from New York from Broken Sea Audio

Jack | April 29, 2009

Damn you Stevie Farnaby and Bill Hollweg!
I’m making my lunch and tonight’s dinner for my boys and I and I’ve got my laptop set out on the kitchen counter- everyone should listen to Audio Drama while working in the kitchen- and I’m listening to Broken Sea’s latest adaptation Escape from New York.
The 1981 Kurt Russell [...]

The Dream

Jack | April 24, 2009

So approximately 24 years ago, I had a vision. I haven’t had too many of them, but this one seemed pretty clear. Computers were in their infancy but I could see as they struggled to create digital images that one truth would come to pass.

CBC Misses the Mark- Audio Drama Mothballed

Jack | April 2, 2009

From the Matt Watts blog we discover that the cuts hitting the beloved CBC are falling hard on Audio Drama. Matt’s being generous about his reflections. I suspect that’s probably just the kind of guy he is. Without getting too political, whenever there’s a Conservative in power (be it Liberal Party or the Conservative Party) [...]

IT’S HERE

Jack | April 2, 2009

Sonic Gold

This wonderful dream, of completing the circle and [...]
