Episode #7 Aired: 10/18/2005 This week we enter into the back row of the movie house to watch two classic frightmares brought to life. Schlock Radio Theatre excels in taking classic B horrors from the screen and re-imagining them for the mind. Taking motion pictures and making audio cinema is nothing new, but the innovative method of rendering what is normally a visual stunt (and usually cheap looking) in a narrative comedic form is a brilliant way to give new life to old reels. We’re lucky enough to offer two of Schlock Theatre’s works as our features this week- The Attack of the Killer Leeches and The Collossus of New York. Later we’ll have a conversation with Mr. Charles Pratt head writer of Schlock Radio, listen to an experimental sketch from No Soap Radio, and continue our weekly serial Robots of the Company with Episode #7.
Prologue: Danielle Cutler, the first fan of the Sonic Society talks about coming into the audio drama world!
Episode #6 Aired: 10/11/2005 Orson Welles knew how to draw a crowd. Whether it was from his groundbreaking MacBeth with all black cast, or frightening middle America with the invasion of Martians in his recreation of H.G. Well’s “War of the Worlds”, Orson understood that radio drama- that audio cinema required one fundamental rule- make use of excellent material. This lesson wasn’t lost in Sound Mind Theater’s production of “The Curse of Dracula”. Drawing upon the classic Brahm Stoker tale, Lee Davis produces a modern audio horror sure to raise shivers. Later we’ll have a conversation with Mr. Davis from Sound Mind Theater, and continue our weekly serial from DreamRealm Enterprises with Robots of the Company Episode #6.
Prologue: Rachel Pulliam talks about her first forays into the Audio Drama world!
Episode #5 Aired: 10/04/2005 The Soul Patrol is back on duty this week in the Sonic Society. David Koenigsberg fantasy morality tale series continues with episodes 3 and 4. After the feature, we’ll continue our conversation with Mr. Koenigsberg and listen to our weekly serial from DreamRealm Enterprises with Robots of the Company Episode #5.
Prologue: Ruby Fink’s recollections of the Sonic Society!
Episode #4 Aired: 9/27/2005 From Asimov to Zelazny and every where in between science fiction has been the canvas for art work both wildly representational as well as highly realistic. Science Fiction has the potential to unveil powerful truths about humanity. Gene Roddenberry brought this to the forefront in his very popular “Star Trek” series, and decades later we’re still learning about who we are as a society, and as human beings. In Prometheus Radio Theatre’s award winning series- “The Arbiter Chronicles” great tales of the human spirit are the launching pad to adventure! Later we’ll have a conversation with the actors and producers of the Arbiter Chronicles, listen to another sketch from Bradley Phoenix, and continue our weekly serial from DreamRealm Enterprises with Robots of the Company Episode #4.
Prologue: Chris Moody brings his thoughts of the Sonic Society!
Episode 3 Aired: 9/20/2005From the Emerald Isle this tale brought to us by Kerric Harvey, professor and author, explores some of the lesser known yet nevertheless pivotal characters from the past. It is well known that history is written by the victors, however even the victors contain their own prejudices and preferences when it comes to chronicling what was. Witness how familiar the name Brian Boru is compared to that of Gormlaith. Brian has long been considered the last great high king to unite all of Ireland fighting back the Viking usurpers in the late 10th and early 11th centuries. So then who is this Gormlaith who held such political sway that she had either married, bed, or bore most of the great men and heroes of that age? What kind of power did she wield? And who would want to diminish her role in history- this enigmatic and ambitious woman of quality? But let us let Professor Harvey explain this mystery in her own radio drama entitled- “Gormlaith- Princess of Ireland.” Later we’ll have a conversation with Professor Harvey, listen to a sketch from the works of Bradley Thunderbird Phoenix, and of course continue our weekly serial from DreamRealm Enterprises- Robots of the Company Episode #3.
Prologue: Jack remembers how the Sonic Society began from the Shadowlands Theatre to the Society…
Episode 2 Aired: 9/13/2005 Welcome to our first podcasting meeting of the Sonic Society. For the most part, the Society can be heard from coast to coast across North America. At times, however, our podcasting license boxes with our regular affiliates license and loses. So instead of having holes in our podcasting shows, we would like to offer special release podcasting shows not available to our regular affiliates. Here is the first special edition podcast. This week, “And Low, Thou I Walk” from the Shadowlands Theatre Players. “And Low Thou I Walk” is the psychological tale of witch hunts and witchery. Torture and Torments, Faith and Lies, and is part of the Seven Deadly Sins Series I’ve written. Later we’ll have a conversation with Mr. Jerry Robbins from Colonial Radio Theater, and of course we’ll continue our weekly serial from DreamRealm Enterprises with Robots of the Company Episode #2.
David Ault begins this episode with a conversation about the goals of Classic Sonic Society Podcast.
Episode #1 Aired: 9/06/2005 This week we kick off the festivities with a little soul searching. Are we alone? Or does God have control over everything? Shall we leave it in his hands, or take actions ourselves. In my own writings I’ve often considered exactly what part the celestial plays in the affairs of humanity. David Koenigsberg’s continuing series “The Soul Patrol” answers that question in a mixture of rye humour and dramatic tension. Later we’ll have a conversation with Mr. Koenigsberg about creating radio drama, and begin our weekly serial from DreamRealm Enterprises- Robots of the Company.
In our grand finale for the sixteenth season of Sonic Summerstock, Jack Ward takes a relook at a classic episode of “I was a Communist for the F.B.I. and remakes it for the future and Retro Rockets with “I Was a Martian for the E.B.I.” and the thrilling Sci-Fi Electric Curtain thriller. Sonic Cinema Productions and the Amigos Collective bring us “The Sleeper!”
