SPERDVAC Special!

As Martin Gram’s Blog explains, “The Society to Preserve and Encourage Radio Drama, Variet and Comedy traces its beginnings back to May of 1974.” This fantastic group makes a point of scanning and collecting radio plays that they offer their members to read and explore for a very small fee.

This Saturday, October 16th, at 4 PM Eastern Standard Time, our Jack Ward will be the guest at this month’s SPERDVAC’s live conference. Join Jack as he talks about the Modern Audio Drama movement and how this offspring of the Golden Age of Radio Drama has started to really bring back interest in the medium!

Project Audion Episode 20: Bob and Rae

It’s another visit with our favourite recreation regulars- Larry Groebe and Project Audion with “”Bob and Rae”! Not too many stars from the OTR era have also hosted Saturday Night Live and a Broadway show, but comic geniuses Bob & Ray did it – and so Project Audion salutes them with a recreation of the offbeat, deadpan humor that aired on radio networks across the country for years starting in the early 1950s. John Bell in Alabama, and Pete Lutz in Texas take on the many characters created by Bob Elliott and Ray Goulding in an assemblage of sketches – both familiar and obscure – designed to replicate the kind of free flowing absurdity they did so well. You’ll recognize a couple of Mutual’s finest from our United Artists of Audio doing their amazing work!
