Some fantastic news from David Farquhar, Executive Producer of Voices In The Wind Audio Theatre. Audio Drama is going to have yet another fantastic stream to reach out people like it’s never done before:
On Tuesday December 7th 2010 a new and innovative way of delivering audio dramas to a mobile audience was launched on the Blackberry Smart Phone. The Moonlight Audio Theatre Podcast APP on the Blackberry features the best in modern audio drama programming covering all genres. With some 40 million Blackberry users across North America there is potentially a huge audience to tap into. Audio dramas can now be easily listened to while riding on the bus, waiting for your next flight at the airport, on long drives, while waiting at the Doctor’s office or at work. The Blackberry MOONLIGHT AUDIO THEATRE PODCAST is available instantly, anywhere, anyplace at anytime, no PC required.
What that means of course is that those folks who are good with their blackberries but lousy with subscriptions to podcasts and the like can listen any time, anywhere, on demand to audio drama.
How is this not good FANTASTIC news!?
We can’t help ourselves. We love Movies for the Blind.
These good folks take all kinds of great and schlocky movies from the past and make ’em so you can do all the work in your brain.
We’ve mentioned this before, but visuals as much as we like them, are really not very good for exercising the imagination- certainly reading is better- but Audio Drama is just the best. After all, how much better is it to recreate a scene with a little dialogue, a little narration, or a few well-placed sound effects?
Go check out MftB today! May we recommend as a beginning The Last Man on Earth?
Or better yet.. go subscribe so you don’t miss a thing!
Looking at stage productions in Sonic Summerstock Playhouse it’s hard not to reminisce about our first audio drama stage play.
Some time ago (way back in 2004) we attempted our first and only live show. It was mostly a sound quality nightmare. The venue, although a wonderful restaurant, was lousy for sound with waiters and orders and poor visibility to the stage and even our live feed to CKDU was plagued with a horrendous buzz and attenuation that killed the fantastic vigour from our actors.
So after our show, I asked the company to show up in CKDU to record “Live in Studio” the Hill Manors Show for posterity and clarity’s sake.
I love Fawlty Towers, so when I thought about writing a tribute show set in Nova Scotia, this is what I came up with. Apologies to John Cleese and Connie Booth. No Architeuthidae were hurt in this performance.
HILL MANORS – EPISODE #1 “More Action Than a Burma Railway” with
Elana Zatzman as Mrs Buckman #1
Jen Robbins as Mrs Buckman #2
Alicia Polonski as Mrs Tweedmere
Joseph Mauricio as Chef
Jocelyn White as Eugenia Hill
David Connellan as Rene
and Nico Lorenzutti as Jonah Hill
The awesome new trailer from Nova Star Hunters is a must see! Go check out the latest and greatest from the folks at Vexation Audio!
Some months ago, Tim Heffernan from the newly revamped Dramapod asked me to be involved in his latest fun project “Off the Cuff”. It’s a great ad lib show in which the contestants are mailed an audio file and you’re to give off the cuff answers to the questions.
Long time listeners know I am hopeless at improv so I invited the amazing John Bell from Bell’s in the Batfry to come for support.
Keeping the “Off the Cuff” feel, I recorded my lines, and passed both to John who filled in the gaps.
I feel extremely badly as I know Tim wanted to start his show off with me and I held him back. I hoped the response was worth the wait..
Let us know what you think! Have a listen to Off the Cuff Episode 2 with Jack Ward and John Bell.
