An updated version of the Radio Drama entry in wikipedia, has a number of incredible radio drama groups and organizations. Included among the brethren and sisterhood is EVP and The Sonic Society.
You keep listening, we’ll keep happily making. An Audioverse for us all!
The incomparable Cayenne Chris Conroy from Tek Diff did some of his usual vocal magic the upcoming Torment: Tides of Numenera this past summer. How many of us will buy it, just to hear him?
Check out how awesome the game sounds in this PCGamesN Review:
The world of Torment may well be the most imaginative gaming has ever seen. ‘Any technology sufficiently advanced is indistinguishable from magic’ said Arthur C. Clarke, and it’s a law that developers inXile have run with. The Ninth World is neck-deep in ‘magic’, AKA technology from a billion years in the future, and you can tell that the writers have had a riot of a time creating it.

The Rise Of Audio Drama
My focus in the last week, has been increasing the amount of audio drama heard on the station. The first thing I did was ask the community, and they delivered. I was inundated with lots of companies wanting their productions and series played out on the station. It is important to know that we negotiate with every company, as each have their own conditions. I had a few issues during the talks, but they were quickly sorted out. Many companies are concerned that we might run ads on the stream, and thus earn money from their content. This is not the case, and I have explained this previously. We are run by a series of donations, funding and from my own pocket. After all of the conversations that have taken place this week, I am pleased to announce that we have secured a number of series and productions, all of which are listed below.
Although we have taken on a large variety of new programming, we are still open to welcoming more audio drama companies into the fold. If you’re a company or organisation that are interested in getting some extra exposure, then do not hesitate to contact us!

The ever-so-missed Kung Fu Action Theatre is back! Creator, writer, director, actor, and host, Rob Paterson announced the return of this beloved gem. While, KFAT has opened its doors beyond the audio drama realm, to read and written stories of all kinds, we’re grateful that maybe we’ll get more of the pulp audio dramatic form from the eclectic author. In the meantime, make sure you have your bookmark. As Mr. Paterson points out on his site:
What is this place?
Kung Fu Action Theatre (KFAT) is your gateway to swashbuckling action-adventure stories from across time and space. Whether your choice is written fiction, audio readings, or full-cast audio dramas, KFAT has you covered. So what are you waiting for? Click a link and explore!
Now to go make some D-Ranger fan fiction….
The library used to be a quiet place to read. Librarian’s cold death stares to the noisy have long been fodder for teen movies. But lately, they reflect more of a cross between an Internet and Starbucks cafe. Books are the least of your experience in a library today. For example, the Clark Library allowed their patrons to see and hear a performance of “The Wizard of Menlo Park” last Tuesday night from Ranconteur Radio.
All the details can be found in Tap Into Clark website. Now, how about organizing a radio drama night in your local library?
Tonight my eldest took me out to see The Legend of Tarzan. Tarzan’s been a favourite of my father’s, and it’s great to see the Edgar Rice Burroughs pulp star still having life after all these years. Inquirer.net has a nice summary on the Ape-Man’s resurrection in the theatres. The flick was pulpy fun. Solid performances. Hard to believe that there were many radio dramas done in the past. They are pretty out dated and could use a new fresh look. Anyone up to making Tarzan adventures in audio again? In the meantime, enjoy the show!
Christian audio drama has been around for a long time, and while many podcasters work hard at producing new work, great production talents are put into the full sounds of epic storylines in these religious tales. City of Destruction is one of these new series, and episode 29 is available to listen on Vimeo. If this could be your new jam, go download the whole series for free at JesusforSinners.com but be warned- 29 is the LAST chapter!
It’s January 2nd, 2007 and episode #49 of the Sonic Society is on the air. The feature that night? The pilot of Second Shift an original “podplay” that brought gamers and fantasy together in an audio drama series. It was fun. It was gripping. And it continued until 2011 on and off again.
And today we get a look at ten years of Second Shift from writer Brandon M. Crose. Ten years is a long time to be in love…
Bernard Cribbins, Adrian Lester, and Paterson Joseph are just a few names who will star in the next installment of Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere spin-off produced by the Maestro of Sound Production, Dirk Maggs. Check out the incredible Radio Times article on this grand new adventure!
