A Midnight Review…

March 11, 2011 / / 0 Comments

Out of Columbus, Ohio can be heard WCBE 90.5 FM, the voice of NPR in the region, and now a great new advocate for the return of Radio Drama!

Midnight Audio Theatre is a weekly audio drama show that can be heard on the wireless  and through live streaming live on the web Friday nights at midnight (11PM CST) as well as through their podcast!

Currently, as well as Darker Project’s Five Minute Fears, Dreamcatcher, and The Leviathan Chronicles, you can also get to listen to EVP’s The Dead Line Anthology!

Check out their home page at Midnight Audio Theatre today and support another great foothold of bringing Radio Drama back to the airwaves!

 

CBC and Audio Drama Under Siege

December 16, 2010 / / 0 Comments

I grew up with the CBC. I can honestly say that much of my love of Audio Drama was ignited by this network. CBC Radio was on first thing in the morning, and I remember listening to shows on weekends, and in the evening. CBC kept me informed and grew my understanding of Canada, the United States, and the World. CBC is family to me. Nothing more and nothing less.

And because it is family, CBC has kept me comforted during long lonely drives, rides across the country where everything was unfamiliar- CBC was home.

So I’m asking, from me, Jack Ward, that you support this initiative. CBC STILL keeps me, many Canadians here and abroad, and citizens from all around the world informed, entertained, and connected- ESPECIALLY now through their podcasts. As a public broadcaster its been able through the generations to create some of the best new audio drama in the world, train some of the most exciting new talent, and annoy politicians and private businesses because their business has been reporting the truth.

Help protect one of these last bastions of the public, please?

Drama by Moonlight

December 7, 2010 / / 0 Comments

Some fantastic news from David Farquhar, Executive Producer of Voices In The Wind Audio Theatre. Audio Drama is going to have yet another fantastic stream to reach out people like it’s never done before:

On Tuesday December 7th 2010 a new and innovative way of delivering audio dramas to a mobile audience was launched on the Blackberry Smart Phone. The Moonlight Audio Theatre Podcast APP on the Blackberry features the best in modern audio drama programming covering all genres. With some 40 million Blackberry users across North America there is potentially a huge audience to tap into. Audio dramas can now be easily listened to while riding on the bus, waiting for your next flight at the airport, on long drives,  while waiting at the Doctor’s office or at work. The Blackberry MOONLIGHT AUDIO THEATRE PODCAST is available instantly, anywhere, anyplace at anytime, no PC required.

What that means of course is that those folks who are good with their blackberries but lousy with subscriptions to podcasts and the like can listen any time, anywhere, on demand to audio drama.

How is this not good FANTASTIC news!?

BB See Less

March 21, 2010 / / 3 Comments

In a recent article on The Daily Telegraph Gillian Reynolds despairs in the slow choking out of the BBC’s audio drama department. In fact, the department will now be merged with “documentaries”.

Does the BBC not realize what they are losing? Audio drama across the Internet has been steadily on the rise. It has not been diminishing, it has been gaining ground with old fans and a new generation of listeners.

Please join me and others who love the BBC on the Speak Up For Radio Drama Now! facebook group and have your voice heard!
