Tin Foil Days

September 16, 2015 / / 0 Comments

tinfoilPeople in tin foil hats are around everywhere.

The good news is that Tinfoil.com is not a place where the sanity-challenged folks gather but rather a spot where you can enjoy some of the oldest recorded sounds- including wax cylinders that have stood the test of time. I’ve always thought how heartbreaking it was that a wax recording of Sir Alfred Lord Tennyson was melted down to make candles during World War II. Necessity is not only the mother of invention, but sometimes the destroyer of art.

In the meantime, go have a look and a listen at some of the great sounds from the past, kept in their crackly goodness today!

horrorimageWe’re getting closer and closer to Halloween, a time which happens to be the most favourite for audio drama writers and producers. More horror audio drama hits the airwaves in October than any other time of the year. Tony Palermo has a great page to give helpful hints to the wannabe horror writer of radio. His article, Writing Radio Horror Stories give a series of great references to help turn your blood filled pen cold with fright.

What are you planning to release at Halloween? Are you headed for a Transcontinental Terror?

BBC Celebrates 75 Years of Radio Drama!

August 29, 2015 / / 0 Comments

CBC75From the August 27th issue of the Independent:

Johnny Vegas directs and acts in The Toffee Tip, a semi-autobiographical coming-of-age comedy. “And they have listening figures that TV at that time of day would kill for,” says Jane Anderson, radio editor at the Radio Times. (The BBC happily confirms this. Drama on Radio 4 attracts almost seven million listeners a week.) “But I think many other people have this view that radio drama is always about the Irish potato famine or middle-class people with dark secrets that come back to haunt them. Once you have that in your mind, it’s hard to listen without thinking, ‘Oh God’, and switching off.”

Listeners who overcome that instinct are rewarded. Anderson cites as one recent triumph Jeffrey Bernard Is Unwell, the biographical play in which John Hurt played the titular columnist.
