Den of Geek brings us a Blogtor Who story of Ingrid Oliver joining the ranks with Jemma Redgrave to reprise her role and continue UNIT: Extinction, a Big Finish audio series focused on the Unified Intelligence Taskforce. The Unit was developed during the Moffat years of Doctor Who and we’re all excited to hear what this story will entail!
What keeps Jerry Robbins going? The very thought of being able to sustain a powerful series, let alone a fun action-oriented, grounded in history western such as Powder River for eleven seasons is mind blowing to us at the Sonic Society. But, we’re grateful he does and like many other fans, never want it to stop!
Here’s the latest wrap up news from the CRT Blog:
This week was a milestone for our POWDER RIVER series, as it wrapped production on its 11th season, and recorded it’s 150th episode! Not bad for a show that was a summer replacement program for THE NEW DIBBLE SHOW with a 15 episode run. However once it went on the air the listeners wanted to hear more, thanks in part to the three episode arc that concluded the first season, and several month later we were back recording RETURN TO POWDER RIVER – planning on ending after our 15th episode. But, that didn’t work out either, and here we are 11 years later still in production.
In celebration of our 150th episode, CRT would like to thank the cast and crew who have brought this show to life over the years.

Tiffanie Wen talks about our favourite subject- the appeal of the audio story and why it is so compelling in this lovely article. Notice how she begins with the single voice narrator and moves into the power of audio drama to tell the story commenting on John Deaver’s The Starling Project as an example of the power of the new form of radio drama. Great stuff!
