The incredible team at Chatterbox Audio Theater presents their latest release, Part 1 of the powerful drama The Warriors. As explained the work was:
Written by Evan Linder and conceived by Mary Hollis Inboden, it’s the story of a school shooting survivor who reconnects with her classmates a decade later. Together they explore the resonance that terrible day has had in their lives. Some have done their best to put the event behind them; others live with reminders of it every day.
It’s a thoughtful, poignant, deeply humane show about resilience and togetherness, and it features beautiful writing and performances as well as stunning artwork by Cody Barnhill. Part 1 of The Warriors is now available for free streaming and download through iTunes and our website.
Chatterbox continues to prove the vibrancy of live production and innovative theater. Have a listen and subscribe if you haven’t already!

Visiting Vancouver for a couple of days? Just two left to catch the #2 on this Vancouver Courier article:
2. Billed as a “live graphic novel,” The Intergalactic Nemesis: Target Earth combines sci-fi, comic books and old radio drama. Three actors provide the voices, a Foley artist creates the sound effects and a pianist plays the soundtrack in front of a movie screen showing 1,250 comic book panels to tell a sci-fi adventure story set in the 1930s. The ambitious theatrical event takes off April 30 to May 1 at the York Theatre. Details at thecultch.com.
How cool is this? A live spacefaring graphic novel that would make Biff Straker proud!
Like a nervous groundhog peering into the early morning light from the darkness, Hindustan Times ask the perennial question: “Could podcasting possibly be the next big thing?”
When they ask that question, the early adopters of the new age of modern audio drama just sort of wave like they have been waving for the last ten years. OF COURSE, podcasting has infinite opportunities and appeal. But those who think radio has been dead for a long time forget that there are still plenty of radio stations out there. The difference is that with the breakdown of corporate structures in the new media, there’s a whole lot more choices. Someone asked me what podcasting was, the other day.
My new answer is, “As satellite channels are to the bunny-eared antenna of television reception, podcasting is to terrestrial radio.”
Welcome to the new age of entertainment. We’ve been here a while. 🙂
Art and Adventure in partnership with Renaissance FM has taken the winning formula of a Fringe Festival and applied the ideas to a series of Fringe Radio Dramas.
The Stage Article has more details:
A radio production company is launching the “audio drama equivalent of the fringe”, in a bid to widen the market beyond the BBC’s output.
Art and Adventure, working with London radio station Resonance FM, is looking for writers and performers with stage productions for a single voice – known as a monodrama – which can be adapted for radio. The company is keen to hear from new writers, writing on themes that reflect “the way we live today”.
Each adaptation will be broadcast on the station later this year, which Art and Adventure creative director Roger James Elsgood said would challenge the idea that the BBC is the only platform for audio drama.
“The idea is posited on the notion that broadcast audio drama had become, more or less, the sole province of the BBC and there is no audio drama equivalent of the fringe. It is becoming increasingly difficult for new writers to have work produced and broadcast,” he said.
He added that Resonance has a “large global online audience” which would give the writers exposure. Each writer will be given an adapter for the project, a producer, as well as facilities to produce the programme.
