the world, we celebrate our very first WORLD AUDIO DRAMA DAY!
Thanks so much to Sibby Wieland, David Jarvis, Sonia James from Sound Stages Radio who came up with the original idea and have worked so hard to get the word out. And special thanks to Pete Lutz from Narada Radio Company and Fiona Thraille from Cooperantem Radio for all their work and interest in promoting this celebration on Facebook and through the rest of social media.
How can you celebrate?
Here’s some things to consider:
1. Share a radio drama with your family tonight. Turn off all the cell phones, other technology and extraneous lights and enjoy a drama.
2. Share an audio play at dinner with a loved one.
3. Find your favourite audio theatre episode and listen while you drive to work.
4. Download some shows you’ve always wanted to listen to, but never had the chance for your workout session today.
5. Send around a link to your friends with the twitter tag #HappyWorldADD of your favourite shows from modern audio theatre
6. Talk to people about your favourite shows.
7. Clean the house or dishes old school with an audio drama playing.
8. Go for a nice long walk timed to an audio pulp production!
9. Bake some holiday food while listening to an audio show.
10. Burn some CD’s of some awesome audio drama and leave it randomly for people to find.
In whatever way you intend to celebrate today, have fun doing it and let us know!
Find the World Audio Drama Facebook Community and Twitter and we’ll see you- out in the world!
Whoever you are, where ever you live, from all of us here at the Society a very happy Canada Day tomorrow! May you have a relaxing and joyful time with friends and family, and hear the siren’s call of audio drama playing late in the evening over the waters.
If you’re like me, and have a hankering for some grand western magic.
Go grab some POWDER RIVER from Colonial Radio Theatre!!
Seven seasons and two specials that have kept this ol’ cowpoke warm in the cold wintery nights.
Go back to a simpler age!
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!
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!
