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!

Kung Fu Action Reborn!

KFATNewThe 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:

Now to go make some D-Ranger fan fiction….

Listening Library

racontourThe 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?

Lord of the Audio

t0627tarzan-5-660x313Tonight 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!

Making Waves

Terry O’Rad-hoc05rb1+Terry+O'Reillyeilly has been a MUST LISTEN personality way back when he gave us O’Reilly on Advertising, and then The Age of Persuasion and now Under the Influence.

O’Reilly is a kingpin of advertising as owner and operator of Pirate Toronto and Pirate New York, his studio is the largest production studio that’s not from a major movie production company. O’Reilly simply knows his stuff. He knows how persuasion is made in advertising, and what’s more, he loves radio.

I had the opportunity to see Mr. O’Reilly when he was at his book signing in Halifax. I got to tell him about The Sonic Society and he was thrilled. Apparently, he’s a lover of radio drama. Who knew? Well, we do. Because those with taste always reach for the best in audio.

Speaking of the best, have a listen to this recent show about how Radio Still Makes Waves. It could give you some incredible ideas to market your own show. Then subscribe to Under the Influence for a ton more!
