It’s our finale for season 17 and Jack and David are feeling a little “Unwell” from the long year! It’s “Unwell-a Midwest Gothic” episodes one and two “Homecoming” and “The Diner”! Lillian Harper moves to the small town of Mt. Absalom, Ohio, to care for her estranged mother Dorothy after an injury. Living in the town’s boarding house which has been run by her family for generations, she discovers conspiracies, ghosts, and a new family in the house’s strange assortment of residents.
This week Jack and David go out in deep space where biologist Violet Liu is floating through the void, trapped in a doomed research ship. She’s the sole survivor of a devastating explosion, and frankly, her odds aren’t looking great, either. But when she is contacted by the charming—and woefully inexperienced—Captain Kay Grisham, Violet learns she might have one last shot at making it out alive. Unfortunately, it’s a real longshot. Our feature show is “The Strange Case of Starship Iris” and episode 1- “Violet Lui” by Jessica Best!
This week Jack and David visit a Dystopian world in which Money, State, and God becomes fused into a single entity called “The Program“. Each episode is a self-contained story focusing on ordinary people inhabiting this extraordinary world. And for them, it is not this future that is terrifying – it is our present. This week we present: ‘You had me at “Hello World”‘.
This week David and Jack get science fictiony with the atmospheric “Beyond the Dark” from author and musician Mark R. Healy. Each episode is a new world to explore. You might find yourself in the heart of a cyberpunk metropolis, a post-apocalyptic wasteland, or an alien world. Each story features its own original music score for a truly immersive experience. This week we have a double-feature with “The Machine” and “The Dark of the City”
This week we start our campfire series with the anthology series by playwright Jonathan Cook “Gather by Ghostlight“. Think of the Ghost Light as your campfire. Gather around and listen to stories from a variety of genres that have been produced in theatres around the world. Short play festivals have become wildly popular in recent years and they have given emerging playwrights a platform for their work. Our campfire ghost light begins with “Settle and Reach”, “Memento Mori”, and “Transferring Kyle”.
“Berlin, 1921. Democracy teeters. Zealots battle in the streets as the Bechsteins, Europe’s famed piano makers, host an elegant soiree. A surprise guest arrives – a combat veteran – unknown and seemingly unremarkable. He unveils powers of seduction, manipulation and demagogy that will soon change the course of history.” This week history MARCH takes the Sonic stage thanks to writer and director James Isaiah Gabbe (pronounced as GABE)! Part 2 next week continues!
This week Jack and David visit their friends at Re-Imagined Radio for their Women’s History Month, women in radio, and specifically Lucille Fletcher, one of our favourite writers of all time and RR picks the cream of the crop reprising a double feature of “The Hitch-Hiker” and “Sorry, Wrong Number”!
