Have a wonderful day and a joyous season
from David and Jack!
With Christmas just days away, my Dad is about to get his present for the Early Ward Christmas, and I’m not holding back what. POWDER RIVER.
That’s right. What better gift can you give, than fantastic audio? Instead of wondering what to give, pop over to Colonial and grab your favourite bundle. Whether its historical or hysterical, mysterious or monstrous, contemporary or cowboy. Get some rare and wonderful radio drama today!
Summer!
If you’ve been noticing the lonely sound of emptiness in the feed lately its been because a series of catastrophes occurred all at once- well catastrophes and one joyous occasion.
But in the middle of it all, we lost the EVP server for two months. It’s now- thankfully- back up again, and we’re itching to get the shows we’ve had in the hopper so long out to you, our faithful and wondrous listeners!
David and I would like to begin with Six Days of Summer. Beginning on this day of Falling Back with our clocks, be prepared to Spring Forward as we offer a show a day for the entire run of the Sonic Summerstock 2013 Season!
That’s right, a new show every day! And after that… we’ll begin a similar raucous pace for Sonic Season 9.
In the meantime, look for some past backlogging on the RSS Feed!
Right here, on the Sonic Society…
Oh! And do give Huey a call. The poor guy feels positively lamentable in the past three months. 🙂
It’s been 75 years today that radio took America by storm. That King of Radio Theatre, Orson Welles had convinced those who were glued to their sets that the Martians had invaded, and the rest was history.
No one questioned the power of the audio story again, nor the way it could rivet a listener and paint pictures in the mind that left an indelible mark.
And to mark the three quarter of a century mark, who else, but the modern day equivalent of Mercury Theatre on the Air, the award winning, ever freshly sounding Colonial Radio Theatre takes on a shiny new story of this timeless tale of H.G. Wells’ invasion from the Red Planet.
Veteran writer M.J. Elliott brings back the feel of 19th century England, and with the dulcet tones of our own enormously talented David Ault in the main role along with the expert and clear direction of Jerry Robbins at the helm this story is instantly a classic.
I had thought all versions of the Martian attack had been seen almost endlessly, but instead of reprising Orson Welles’ inventive modern day style, the CRT gang goes back to the roots.
This is why Colonial Radio has been so popular through the years, in my opinion. They are one of the very few companies that captivate the joy of radio plays from the past with the skills of modern storytelling.
If you’re a fan of history, a fan of science fiction, or aching to pull out your steampunk attire, don’t hesitate. Get yourself a copy of “War of the Worlds” from either Amazon or Audible today! At $6.95 it’s a steal!
Rachel Cavic from Scattered Sound Productions and “While Whispers Wait” brings us all “Back to Christmas” for this episode of Sonic Summerstock! 
The Library always seems to be open for special hours during the Christmas season. Jack brings us the current collection of the Ward Father Christmas Letters. Through the years, the Ward children (Aedan, Colm, and Rory) have found a letter waiting for them with their stockings and half eaten cookies and carrots.
With their permission, Jack presents the collected Ward Father Christmas Letters with a few absent years- from 1999-2010.
