I challenge anyone to come up with an anthology series on television that was more influential, creative, and important than Rod Serling‘s Twilight Zone.
Personally, no writer has ever influenced my scripts than Mr. Serling’s clever tales of suspense and social commentary.
So it was with an absolute thrill when I was able to speak with Mr. Carl Amari about his passion for producing Audio Drama. I’ve been listening to Mr. Amari’s clever and faithful retelling’s of the Twilight Zone in the Twilight Zone Radio Drama series for years now. I’ve collected quite a few of them when I purchased the original series on DVD.
But what really surprised me was that Mr. Amari was a fan of our work at the Society, and wanted to be involved. So the upshot is, for Sonic Gold Season 2, expect the Twilight Zone and much more!
From all of us, thanks so much Carl!
Coming from Colonial Radio Theatre another adventure masterpiece- Zorro and the Pirate Raiders!
Colonial Radio consistently presents us lovers of audio drama with powerful stories. I remember when I was a child, my Grandparents had a Disney picture book of the story of Zorro. I would read it again and again when I visited, and hear the whip cracks and the whistle of the Fox’s sword as he tore his initial “Z” where ever he went.
Now, at long last, you can hear it too… with the adaptation by the award winning Jerry Robbins, you know this version of Zorro will get right into the action and be a story that will simply thunder off your earbuds.
But don’t take my word for it… have a listen to the promo yourself- here!
It’s HERE! It’s HERE! It’s FINALLY HERE!

Bring back the great memories of the first Firefly Audio Drama with Sharon Bee’s inspiring ode to Browncoats everywhere!
A milestone in audio production often goes unheralded, but here’s one that we can all cheer about. Recently, in a conversation Jerry Robbins mentioned to me that with their latest releases of Moonfleet and Perry Mason, Colonial Radio Theatre has put out 300 shows for purchase in its fourteen years of existence. That’s an amazing production rate by any standard.
So cheers to you Jerry Robbins, Mark Vanderberg, and all the great folks in Colonial Radio. May the next 300 be as fantastic as the first!
To say that I love “Barrymore” produced by Colonial Radio Theatre, written by William Luce and starring Jerry Robbins, is like saying kids appreciate Halloween. There’s just not enough adjectives in the English language to describe this theatrical experience. One gets the feeling that you’re not listening to an audio drama, but you’re experiencing a night out to a Broadway Stage.
The production is crisp, and captures enough sound to support Robbin’s portrayal of John Barrymore. A portrayal which expertly sifts through the many moods and madnesses of the late master.
If, like me, you’re building your audio library this is a must buy. And even if, you’re not considering making a large collection, this is the show you’ll want to hear time and time again- and remember when Hollywood and the American Stage held court with Kings.
Jerry Robbins from Colonial Radio Theatre rounds up the incredible output out of CRT in the year of 2008.
Robbins has been doing audio drama with CRT for well over a decade, that’s before the Internet and certainly before the idea of RSS and Podcasting was even an inkling in the minds of technology gurus. While folks were bemoaning the loss of audio drama from the Golden and Silver days, Mr. Robbins was hiking cassette tapes of his own productions to different companies.
There’s been an ugly rumour that those who sell their wares don’t make Audio Drama out of love. Many of us owe a thanks to those companies and individuals that kept the candle flickering before our recent renaissance.
And if there’s any question about passion in Audio Drama today, consider the list that Colonial Theatre worked on this year past… and let it inspire all of us to do more for 2009!
