Audio producer Bill Heid says that kids are starving for “real heroes” in his article from Michael Foust at Newswire.net. The Audie award winning producer of Under Drake’s Flag says that we need to give children heroes from history that they can emulate instead of celebrities who so often make the tabloids. Do you think audio drama is a vehicle to do so?

Just remember that the NASA logo belongs to them, and that NASA never endorses a product or organization. It’s purpose is to share its findings and exploration with the world!
For someone who grew up with CBC Radio, it’s really heartbreaking to see the lowest point in Canada’s finest broadcaster (It is the lowest point, isn’t it? It can’t go any lower… please?)
With scandals, and criminal charges, and cutbacks from the federal government, the CBC seems to have entirely lost its way. For years, the CBC has tried to stop being the “nerd’ and befriend the “cool kid” in the class. Their new choice for the hosting spot in “Q” is no exception.
Dear CBC. You’re smart. You’ve always been the place where people go to get their minds fed. Go back to accepting and appreciating that. You created who generations of kids who grew up loving that about you. Bring us thoughtful drama, hilarious comedy, serious journalism, brilliant counter-culture ideas, and radio drama. Bring us back radio drama in all its myriad forms.
With Love,
The Sonic Society.
