Broken Sea High on the Waves!

Our good friends at Broken Sea have done it again!

This time they are the proud owners of the Sir Julius Vogel award in New Zealand where the company is based!

Sir Julius Vogel was the eighth Premier in New Zealand, and back in the 1800’s considered the first New Zealander to write science fiction. His book Anno Domini 2000- A Woman’s Destiny was first published after he retired from politics in 1889.

Broken Sea’s win was under Fan Production for The Doctor Who Podcast with Mark Kalita as the ever present Doctor.

CONGRATULATIONS to Mark, Paul Mannering, Stevie Farnaby, Robin Carlisle, Bill Hollweg and all the folks at Broken Sea!

Drama by Moonlight

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!?

What a Sight!

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!

Good Manors

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.
