Welcome to episode 500 in which David Ault and Jack Ward have a retrospective on the last 12 1/2 years of the Sonic Society. Stay tuned for the second part as a bonus episode tomorrow! (We just hate to take away from new audio drama on Tuesday nights!) Thanks to everyone who called in!
Jack and David complete the special promotional episode of “SURVIVORS!” from Big Finish and finish with episode #2 of Paul Sating and Fatecrafters “Subject: Found!” podfict! It’s Audio Drama Time!
I’ve been a listener of CBC Radio all my life. I miss the heady days of Peter Gzowski, Vicki Gabereau, Michael Enright and Alan Maitland duo and Lister Sinclair‘s dulcet voice and gentle hand on the wheel.
CBC has gone through a lot of changes, some of them great, some not so. The not so great has been the loss of radio drama which has been stellar through out the years. But maybe some forms of podficts are coming back. Thanks to NPR’s famous Serial, CBC has started a couple more innovative story telling shows. The latest is Someone Knows Something. This documentary first person style series- like Serial- follows a tale all season about a missing person- unsolved cases. The first season it was Adrien McNaughton. Season two it’s the story of the disappearance Sheryl Sheppard.
The episodes are compelling like only crime mysteries can be. That they are true, brings out the very iciness in the veins. Let’s hope that someone does know something and these mysteries can be solved.
Starting of this New Year of 2017 we’re proud to present another promotional release from Big Finish with SURVIVORS! (Special thanks again to Michael Hudson!)

Whether you’re a fan of Moonlight Audio or Audioflix one thing is certain, audio plays and stories are on the rise. In this article from The Conversation, BBC has declared its intention to target the world as the new “netflix” of audio. The question is, who will eventually reign as king?
BBC Radio has declared its intention of targeting an international audience with a “Netflix of the spoken word” with the intention of finding ways to better exploit it’s vast archive of professionally produced audio.
Brian Bacon provides us with the very best from the hilarious Radio People as tonight’s Sonic Society feature.
IT’S AUDIO DRAMA TIME!
I’ve been telling many actors that audio acting is pretty unique. Unless you’re acting for comic effect, you’re not playing large like you would on the stage. I remember Grace Lee Whitney talking about her cameo on Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. She explained how Leonard Nimoy was describing to her what was happening on the blue screen so he could get her initial reactions. When he explained how badly beaten up the Enterprise was after the battle with Khan her response was as large as she would have used on the stage. She needed another take to pull back the emotion. Audio Drama is like that. You can hear someone smile over the microphone. Don’t believe me? Go try it yourself sometime. I don’t understand quite what the difference is in the facial features, but it’s true.
This article by Christopher Hooton and the Independent does a good job of looking at Academy Award winning actors and their approaches to acting. Good audio actors are precious gems. I can only think of about a score that I consider stand outs in the public domain field. Who are your favourites and why?
Happy Yule Tide to everyone this year and Merry Christmas! Jack and David are thrilled to present Voices in the Wind Theatre from David Farquhar and our feature holiday presentation: Snow White.
