Hurt’s So Good!

February 3, 2016 / / 0 Comments

johnhurtSo many great stars old and new keep coming back to Audio Drama. Now it’s the War Doctor himself, John Hurt, has a plea for many people out there. About radio drama, Mr. Hurt says:

 “I consider it a very important part of my life. I think one of the major weapons of an actor is the voice. And I think [radio] is a forgotten art. And it’s just wonderful to be someone who is celebrating that particular art.”

Mr. Hurt was honoured in the BBC Awards for his outstanding contribution to radio. Catch the rest of his thoughts on our “forgotten art” in The Stage.

Editor’s Note: Anyone out there who knows Mr. Hurt, I’d be happy to interview him for Sonic Speaks!- Jack

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!
