Paul Sating’s Diary of the Madman joins us for some more horror and John Bell’s Bell’s in the Batfry episode #155 Halloween edition for some horrific fun rounds off this week’s show. Jack hosts with David and explains why he’s been a little spotty as hosting the past couple months.
Long time listeners of the Sonic Society will know that I’m a fan of many writers, but specific writers have always driven me to be a better writer- Rod Serling, Robert E. Howard, J. Michael Straczynski, Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, David Milch, Chuck Dixon, Steven Moffat, Alan Dean Foster, Dash Hammett as just some that come to mind. I have to give props to The Truth podcast. Jonathan Mitchell keeps producing what I adore- anthology tales that are full audio dramas. In this article from The Sarah Awards he details the process of going through and taking a Phillip K. Dick public domain story “Upon the Dull Earth” and adapting it.
In a world of story, it’s wonderful to hear the masters speak again through new voices. There’s a reason why Ray Bradbury felt that Colonial Radio Theatre’s adaptations of his work were the BEST done in any medium. In short, Jerry Robbins has an excellent ear for audio on the page, and assembles an incredible team, but also, as Jonathan could attest, audio is the best place for story.
A stellar evening of post-Halloween audio drama as David introduces the remake of “Clay Pigeon Shooting” from Electric Vicuna Productions starring John Bell from Bells in the Batfry and Cayenne Chris Conroy from Teknikal Diffikulties, and two grand shorts from Richard Summers (AKA Captain Radio) with “The Weeping Tree” and “The Witch and the Air Traffic Controller”!
Tonight Jack and David present three shows beginning with the feature Kraken Mare from the good folks at YAP Audioand The Audio Drama Production Podcast. Ending with two shorts- Bells in the Batfry episode #149 and the remake of the classic Wavefront from EVP Name Please starring Erika Sanderson and David Ault.
It’s Audio Drama Time!
Wooden Overcoats comes back for a second round with “Tempting Fete” and we continue with our John Bell’s Bells in the Batfry extravaganza with episode 187! IT’S AUDIO DRAMA TIME!!!
This week in the Society another premiere with “The Bane of Rudyard” from Wooden Overcoats and more great classic laughs with John Bell’s Bells in the Batfry, episode #147. It’s Audio Drama Time!
Who doesn’t want to punch a Nazi? Certainly not Betsy McGuyver does not want to punch a Nazi…
While we sit back and try to figure out the above sentence, may we happily present Wide Eyed Audio with tonight’s feature “Betsy McGuyver- Nazi Puncher”. It’s Audio Drama Time!
Almost thirteen years ago now, Dani Cutler, a friend of the show, suggested that the Sonic Society should go from just being a live radio show to being disseminated through a new distribution process called podcasting, we’ve never been the same since! Podcasting has given the Sonic Society over two million direct downloads during that time, and brought audio drama far and wide.
So celebrate September 30th, INTERNATIONAL PODCAST DAY! How will we celebrate? Jack will be finishing off some audio acting tomorrow night and recording an interview for this season’s Sonic Speaks!
