Tiffanie Wen talks about our favourite subject- the appeal of the audio story and why it is so compelling in this lovely article. Notice how she begins with the single voice narrator and moves into the power of audio drama to tell the story commenting on John Deaver’s The Starling Project as an example of the power of the new form of radio drama. Great stuff!
Dakota Brown lends David Ault, and David Ault, and Jack Ward a hand with a quadruple serving of Horace Kentucky’s Chronal Detective Agency!
| Writer, storyteller, producer, and fantastic dream weaverChris Lester talks to us about his opus Metamor City, dynamic characters and the worlds of audio fiction, multi-cast recordings, and radio drama. |
| David Ault comes back to British OTR Showcase month with an episode that pokes fun at Hitler called “It’s that Man Again” and a rare episode of “The Will Hay Programme” for our second feature! |
| Misfits Audio’s “The Big Game” and WCRS’s Radio Stages “A Matter of Life and Death” are our twin features tonight for the Sonic Society as David and Jack make their way back for a final confrontation with the Videk and their U-Tube weapon. |
| Robyn Paterson pops into Sonic Speaks to chat with Jack about falling in and out of love with radio drama. We also look at what are some of the qualitative differences of fiction and dramatic writing, and what are the benefits and pitfalls of jumping into audio drama production. Rob’s AD project was Kung Fu Action Theatre (because “re” is how it’s spell with style)! |
If you’re a producer, writer, director, or actor of audio drama. It’s not unusual to see how much of your favourite medium takes up much of your time. For those of us who have many hats in the process, you can imagine thinking of new shows, writing, recording, and post-production takes up much of our waking lives.
But the things you love to do, never exhaust you like the drudgery of those tasks that are chores. You may get tired making radio plays, but you’ll be just as energized by the production. In the meantime, take some time this Easter weekend and spend time with your families, appreciate the coming Spring season, and rest because tomorrow there’s always more for you to listen from the world of modern audio theatre.
From all of us at the Sonic Society, to all of you, have a happy and safe holiday!
