A Valentine’s Present from You!

February 14, 2016 / Jack / 0 Comments

valentine-heart1 Dear Sonic Society Members,

You rock! David and I know you rock. For over a decade you’ve been the most patient, dedicated, and growing fans sharing the explosion of modern audio drama or radio drama, or pulp audio or sonic cinema whatever you’ve wanted to call it to people you love.

And you’ve done it again. We rarely look at our stats. We’re not interested in how much we’re growing, but rather that we keep bringing you the best that is out there. However, this past show, we noticed a massive spike. How much of a spike? After a pretty low January over all, we’ve had over a hundred thousand downloads from our podcast in in less than a week all surrounding Valentine’s Day.

So with apologies to a murdered saint, we love you too. Thanks so very much!

Jack and David

Last month we shared that EVP we purchased a new R24 Zoom Recorder for in-house and live recording mixing. This week we have 2 new 415B Apex three pattern wide diaphragm studio condenser microphones and a brand new set of studio headphones to help complete the upgrade of the studio system.

We’re very excited to give the new mikes a whirl! What are you using today?

thekeep As we continue in the NADSWRIM challenge for the year of Audio Scripts, we at the Society would like to highlight some projects that are worth supporting. As we move into getting more folks into experiencing the wonder of the Audio World, consider The Keep Official Audio Drama from the novel by F. Paul Wilson.

From the Gofundme project:

What is The Keep?
In 1981 author F Paul Wilson released his novel The Keep. The Keep tells the story of a platoon of German soldiers during WWII occupying a small fortress in the Romanian mountains. Unknown to them, they have released an ancient evil from deep within its walls, the only few who may be able to solve the mystery and stop the slaughter of the soldiers are a crippled Jewish professor, his daughter and a mysterious stranger.

Now go out there and help get another great project off the ground!

Folks who remember Twin Stars, Little Gou, and Team Iron Angel among others will remember Kung Fu Action Theatre, a beloved fan-favourite audio drama series from the mind of Rob Paterson. Well have no fear, the amazingly prolific writer hasn’t fallen off the face of the Earth. Beyond working as a teacher in his Clark Kent job, Robyn has also been working hard as an editor and writer of his own fiction since putting aside audio drama.

But the audio itch is hard not to scratch, and now talkie podcaster is added to his impressive credentials as Rob and long time best friend Don Chisholm host the new series The Department of Nerdly Affairs (aka The DNA).

Of course, we were instant fans, and most recently, Jack was invited to partake of the glorious geekery. Obey the DNA yourself and subscribe.

Excelsior!
