Dick Dynamo the 5th Dimensional Music Experience From the minds of Jon Baker and the other good folks at Dick Dynamo comes “Dick Dynamo, the 5th Dimensional Music Experience”.

There are many types of modern audio drama companies out there. Many companies offer a variety of fair, and some precious few focus on one or two ideas to put all their efforts in a concept.

The good folks at Dick Dynamo are in the latter camp, and it shows. The episodes of Dick Dynamo are cleverly written, lovingly acted, and produced with such panache and style that you could set your watch to their accuracy.

In fact, the one complaint that could be made against Dick Dynamo, is that there’s simply not enough shows to sate the hunger for more!

Enter in Dick’s Musical Experience, that once again mirrors the affection the team has for this series. This fun album is filled with great beats, hilarious lyrics, and many more reasons for everyone to download and enjoy these tunes before they are no longer offered free and snatched up by some record label!

Jerry Robbins from Colonial Radio Theatre rounds up the incredible output out of CRT in the year of 2008.

Robbins has been doing audio drama with CRT for well over a decade, that’s before the Internet and certainly before the idea of RSS and Podcasting was even an inkling in the minds of technology gurus. While folks were bemoaning the loss of audio drama from the Golden and Silver days, Mr. Robbins was hiking cassette tapes of his own productions to different companies.

There’s been an ugly rumour that those who sell their wares don’t make Audio Drama out of love. Many of us owe a thanks to those companies and individuals that kept the candle flickering before our recent renaissance.

And if there’s any question about passion in Audio Drama today, consider the list that Colonial Theatre worked on this year past… and let it inspire all of us to do more for 2009!
