Long time friend of the Society and host of the awesome Radio Drama Revival, Fred Greenhalgh and his production company FinalRune Productions have worked together with Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez to reproduce their hit graphic novel Locke & Key as a powerful audio drama with over fifty actors including such stars as Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black), Kate Mulgrew (Orange Is The New Black), and Haley Joel Osment (Sixth Sense, A.I.). A great I09 review tells the tale, and be sure to download the full production on Audible.

Tonight on the Sonic Society we settle into episode three of the incredible new smash hit The Black Tapes Podcast, with thanks to Paul Bae and Terry Miles and their crew. Sit back and enjoy. And as if to get into the spirit, there was something rather weird in the recording of this introduction. Pro Tools stopped with an error. On the end of the cut was a strange message. We include it after the credits and guarantee we never manufactured it for this podcast. Happy Month of Halloween!
As we wish the best for his recovery, Tim Curry explains why he loves audio theatre in this rare behind the scenes look at Tales from the Crypt the radio plays. A great reminder that Horror Month in the AD world is our favourite time of year!

From Dan Freeman and the Minister of Chance folks another grand crowdfunded awesome production featuring Sylvester McCoy and Richard Oliver.
Nothing can travel faster than light. In the near future, however, it does, and the crew of the RRS Venus must deal with the Earth-shattering consequences.

In a move that adds power and credence to the medium of audio drama, the powerhouse company, General Electric is coming back to radio… or rather podio. A new podcast called “The Message,” which is a fictional eight-episode series that follows the decoding of a 70 year-old message from outer space is reminiscent of General Electric Theater and is designed to draw in a whole new generation of listeners to spark their imagination and consider the future.
I guess everything old IS new again?
Jack speaks to director, writer, producer and audio enthusiast MJ Cogburn from Darker Projects and Colonial Radio Theatre.
If you grew up somewhere in late sixties to seventies in Ontario, Detroit or New York area chances are you would recognize Rocketship 7 or Commander Tom. However, if you grew up east of there, your childhood might be alit with the memory of Rex Trailer and Boomtown. Colonial Radio Theatre and Jerry Robbins new release of a six pack of episodes of The Adventures of Sergeant Billy and Corporal Sam will bring back the nostalgia in a glorious fun new way. Starring Billy O’Brien and Sam Donato of Boomtown fame, who says you can’t go home again? Grab your copy from any of your favourite places!

Wilamette Radio Workshop and Re-imagined Radio have partnered again to bring back some seasonal holiday favourites from their version of War of the Worlds, to The Fall of the City, and R.U.R. (Rossum’s Universal Robots) with Washington State University Vancouver.
Scott Hewitt provides the details in his article Bits ‘n’ Pieces: Radio plays scare up some chills at Kiggins for the Columbian.
As you can imagine, we listen to a lot of new audio drama here in the Sonic Society, and whatever we podcast/broadcast, the hosts listen to intently to try to find a place in the upcoming line up. We aren’t super fussy about levels of quality because what may not be something one member likes, could be another member’s favourite. But once in a while, we find some up and coming gold.
The Black Tapes Podcast is one of those nuggets. David Ault discovered this chilling little podcast tale stylized in a docu-drama format that might be reminiscent of serial. From the minds of Paul Bae and Terry Miles from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, this spooky show was the recent subject of a Vancouver Sun article Vancouver Teacher Scores a Hit with Spooky Podcast The Black Tapes.
Go have a read for yourself, and look forward to the Black Tapes coming up on the Sonic Society next week!
The incredible folks at Chatterbox Audio Theater have opened their doors to another season of scripts requests! We love the CAT here on the Sonic Society. Their high quality shows and performances have become a regular staple for audiophiles everywhere. So, pull out those pens, pencils, or word processors, follow the guidelines and get cracking to help bring another year of stellar shows for new ears.
Everything you need to know to hit your November 15th deadline can be found at the Call for Scripts page. Good luck!
