The BBC has made arrangements to carry the famous Twilight Zone Radio Dramas from producer Carl Amari. For those of us familiar, Stacy Keach’s rich voice fills the role of narrator once held by the iconic Rod Serling for the original television series. In an io9 article, we discover that ten episodes will be released featuring the voice work of such well known actors as Jane Seymour, Jim Caviezel, Michael York, Malcolm McDowel and many others.
Curiously, the first episode An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge was originally a silent French short film that Rod purchased the rights for and modified for the Twilight Zone. So fascinating to see how the voiceless is given voice in a new generation. But that’s the power of the Twilight Zone, and the power of radio drama. Look for the episodes on BBC 4 coming soon!
We’re back to Sandbox Radio Live to complete our “Spring Fling” with their live performance. How goes your work in NADSWRIM? Have you completed your writing quest this year? Only 2 weeks more to go!
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?
In the doldrums of winter, it’s time for a little Spring Fling or rather Spring Fever! Part one is here fromSandbox Radio Live. Where are you in NADSWRIM? Jack and David chat up the benefits and challenges of writing mystery fiction and it all begins here on the Sonic Society.
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!
Jack and David are out celebrating Jack’s birthday, but Jeffrey Adams and the Icebox Theater crew bring us episode one of Radio Icebox!
Matthew MacLean one of the dyad of the Audio Drama Production Podcast team recently wrote an article in The Podcast Host blog detailing his picks for the best and brightest of the audio drama world.
Your show, The Sonic Society, met with the Scottish sign of approval for one of the best compilations, and we’re grateful to Matt for his recommendation.
For other recommendations of awesome audio (most of which you can hear on the Society of course) check out his article.
