Born to Teachers and Amateur Audio Enthusiasts in the small rural community of Belwood, Jack's first love was stories- writing, reading, telling, and singing. He developed his acting skills through High School, University, and through film and community theatre.
Jack writes the lion's share of Sonic Cinema Production's (previously Electric Vicuna) Audio Drama scripts and has his own writing site at www.jackjward.com. Jack also is the middle of book writing, screenplay production, and is the CEO of the Mutual Audio Network- where he and the best people in the world Listen & Imagine, Together!.
He's thrilled to co-host the Sonic Society with his wonderful, talented, friend David Ault as they enter their second decade in the medium!
Bill Hollweg from BrokenSea Audio Productions joins Jack and David in the search for the weakness in the fabric of Podiospace with tonight’s features being the incredible Colonial Radio Theatre‘s “Vincent Price Presents: The Abominable Mr. Phibes”, and “The Epic Adventures” by Sean T. Young
Brand new Golden Age style pulp hero is roaming the streets of Crescent City! The Fault Line Players present “The Silver Fox” written and directed by Ted Falagan. We’d love to put their show in the Sonic Society, but as you can see, the FLP’s are mixing visual with audio, and that would make for a more confusing listen. But still, as lovers of all things AD, we’d be remiss in not pointing out to you where you can find them! Enjoy!
Starti
ng off the inaugural interview is none other than Gregg Taylor, chief architect, writer, producer, director, and audio auteur of the amazing Decoder Ring Theatre. We talk about Gregg’s passions and Jack’s reactions to the recent DRT change in broadcast release announcement. Remember Sonicateers, don’t ever drive angry.
What a fantastic project! Free Firearm sound effects!
From the Free Firearm Sound Effects Library website:
The firearm sound library was the brainchild of a team of college students with a mutual passion for the audio and visual arts. In November, 2013 we launched a Kickstarter campaign to develop an extensive open source firearm sound effects library, and on December 7, 2013 our project was funded by an incredible group of backers and we went into full tilt production. This website serves to connect our backers with our two libraries, as well as to give credit to the backers who made it all possible.
Along with the availability of these sounds comes the need to understand their proper application. The metadata included in the sound files along with some instructional videos will help make these sounds serve you to their full potential.
Our team holds CC0 NO RIGHTS RESERVED for this library. It may be used without royalty or credit (though we would love to hear how you’ve used our sounds) for any application, personal or professional. Have at it!
Grab the raw files, or refined ones. Select which sound effects you want or grab the whole bunch!
On top of that help them complete their Medieval Weapons Sound Effects Library by donating to kickstarter!
With the a cloud of dust and the burning acrid smell of GUNSMOKE. The premiere of Sonic Echo has Jack introduce William Conrad as Marshall Matt Dillon in the classic series with “Billy the Kid” and “Jaliscoe” from archive.org! 
Jack sits down with Barbra Dillon, Managing Editor of Fanboy Comics to talk about his favourite subject- AUDIO DRAMA AND THE SONIC SOCIETY of course!
Spread the word… Pass it on… Let’s make this season, beyond all the other seasons the year of AD!
