Classic Sonic Society #3: In The Age Of High Kings

Prologue: Chris Moody brings his thoughts of the Sonic Society!
Episode 3 Aired: 9/20/2005From the Emerald Isle this tale brought to us by Kerric Harvey, professor and author, explores some of the lesser known yet nevertheless pivotal characters from the past. It is well known that history is written by the victors, however even the victors contain their own prejudices and preferences when it comes to chronicling what was. Witness how familiar the name Brian Boru is compared to that of Gormlaith. Brian has long been considered the last great high king to unite all of Ireland fighting back the Viking usurpers in the late 10th and early 11th centuries. So then who is this Gormlaith who held such political sway that she had either married, bed, or bore most of the great men and heroes of that age? What kind of power did she wield? And who would want to diminish her role in history- this enigmatic and ambitious woman of quality? But let us let Professor Harvey explain this mystery in her own radio drama entitled- “Gormlaith- Princess of Ireland.” Later we’ll have a conversation with Professor Harvey, listen to a sketch from the works of Bradley Thunderbird Phoenix, and of course continue our weekly serial from DreamRealm Enterprises- Robots of the Company Episode #3.

Classic Sonic Society #1: Premiere Episode

David Ault begins this episode with a conversation about the goals of Classic Sonic Society Podcast.
Episode #1 Aired: 9/06/2005 This week we kick off the festivities with a little soul searching. Are we alone? Or does God have control over everything? Shall we leave it in his hands, or take actions ourselves. In my own writings I’ve often considered exactly what part the celestial plays in the affairs of humanity. David Koenigsberg’s continuing series “The Soul Patrol” answers that question in a mixture of rye humour and dramatic tension. Later we’ll have a conversation with Mr. Koenigsberg about creating radio drama, and begin our weekly serial from DreamRealm Enterprises- Robots of the Company.

Sonic Summerstock Playhouse 16.4- Sergeant Preston of the Yukon!

Sonic Summerstock returns with the incredible Larry Groebe and Project Audio and a very special performance!
“Sergeant Preston of the Yukon” (actually called “The Challenge of the Yukon” for most of its 16 years on the radio) was one of the greatest juvenile adventure radio series ever – part of a trinity of kids’ shows that originated from Station WXYZ in Detroit. (The others were “The Green Hornet” and “The Lone Ranger”.) It chronicled the never-ending adventure of the noble Mountie and his wonder dog Yukon King, maintaining law and order in the wilds of the frozen Northwest.

While there are nearly 700 surviving recordings of this classic show, Project Audion located a MISSING episode’s script that originally aired on May 25, 1955 — just two weeks before show ended its run. What’s more, we are delighted to feature 94-year-old Chuck Daugherty, who was actually heard in some of the original Preston series episodes during his time at WXYZ over 70 years ago.  He’s part of a terrifically talented coast-to-coast cast for this exciting episode with original commercials for Quaker cereals.
