Author: Jack (Page 32 of 174)
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!
Captain Radio introduces our final new feature from Sonic Cinema Productions and the Wave Front Anthology- Market Crash In a near future, jobs are scarce and robotic cars are everywhere. As the world falls apart, Jerry and Brooklyn race against time to save the world. Written by Jack J. Ward. Produced by Richard Frohlich with rough editing by Austin Beach!
Steve Bellinger discusses the pros and mostly the cons of computer assistants and uses a sensitive and temperamental program, VICI, to demonstrate his point.
What do you do when the government you thought you knew turns out not to be everything you thought it was? A remembrance of Mark Bruzee and Night Terrors.
Captain Radio returns us to the past reflecting on our absent brother, Bill Hollweg. They say that all life came from the oceans But, as the residents of Aberdeen Massachusetts are about to discover, when a mysterious and beautiful woman arrives in the New England fishing town its not just hearts that will be broken and some fish should be thrown back.
Introduced by Captain Radio, Steve Bellinger’s affectionately updated commemoration of Orson Welle’s terrifyingly realistic 1939 Halloween modern media interpretation of H. G. Wells classic sci-fi horror novel, WAR OF THE WORLDS. Adios, Chicago!
Re-Imagined Radio has celebrated the anniversary of “The War of the Worlds” several times by re-telling the story. This year, on Devil’s Night and the occasion of its 84th anniversary, Jack and David play their explorations into the radio storytelling that may have influenced Orson Welles’s radio adaptation of the 1898 novel by H. G. Welles. In addition to samples from these earlier radio stories, interviews with Welles provide additional insight for this episode, “The War of the Worlds: Possible Influences.”
MADCON 2022 continues and this week we consider Non-English language and multilingual podcasts: what are the challenges and benefits?
Jack and David continue the horror this month with The Sheridan Tapes #1. In 2018, famed horror writer Anna Sheridan disappeared, leaving behind only a box of mysterious cassette tapes and for their second feature one of the anthology episodes from Wrong Station with “A Walk in the Park”. She was walking home on one of the snowiest nights of the year, she tells me. She kind of loses track of time, and eventually comes to this park. A place she’d never heard of, and one she was never able to find again. That big park, with that little house right in the middle of it.
MADCON 2022 continues with Larry Groebe from Project Audion as the topic this panel considers is asynchronous work and teamwork at a distance.
