How Do We Look?

September 8, 2009 / Jack / 1 Comment

Thanks to Sean McGaughey who through Twitter pointed us to an honour we didn’t know we received.

I guess its a big thing to hit the big 100 Episode mark, and while we did so a while back (we’re currently on 167 and I think that doesn’t include a couple of summer seasons), it’s still good to take stock and pause and consider that a lot of other podcasts don’t get up to he big three digits before they podfade.

So who knows, as we consider the future, maybe we’ll see the Sonic Society top 300… (200 is looming I’m sure).

And once again, its all thanks to you folks who are listening, and you folks who are donating your works. Congratulations all!

Coming from Colonial Radio Theatre another adventure masterpiece- Zorro and the Pirate Raiders!

Colonial Radio consistently presents us lovers of audio drama with powerful stories. I remember when I was a child, my Grandparents had a Disney picture book of the story of Zorro. I would read it again and again when I visited, and hear the whip cracks and the whistle of the Fox’s sword as he tore his initial “Z” where ever he went.

Now, at long last, you can hear it too… with the adaptation by the award winning Jerry Robbins, you know this version of Zorro will get right into the action and be a story that will simply thunder off your earbuds.

But don’t take my word for it… have a listen to the promo yourself- here!

Podcast Directorate

July 24, 2009 / Jack / 0 Comments

Every once in a while I’m reminded that there are podcast directories out there and that they are introducing people to the wild world of Audio Drama.

While looking for another show’s feed I came across the Podcasting Directory link for our show.

Now this is very interesting, as I don’t remember ever being here. It’s possible I was, and set up the feed link, but more probable, one of our esteemed members did it for us. If so, a belated thank-you is due!

300 Released Shows for Colonial Radio Theatre

May 10, 2009 / Jack / 1 Comment

A milestone in audio production often goes unheralded, but here’s one that we can all cheer about. Recently, in a conversation Jerry Robbins mentioned to me that with their latest releases of Moonfleet and Perry Mason, Colonial Radio Theatre has put out 300 shows for purchase in its fourteen years of existence. That’s an amazing production rate by any standard.

So cheers to you Jerry Robbins, Mark Vanderberg, and all the great folks in Colonial Radio. May the next 300 be as fantastic as the first!

Perry’s On Our Side

May 7, 2009 / Jack / 1 Comment

Another great coup for Sonic Gold! Perry Mason and the Case of the Velvet Claws will be playing at the end of May for Sonic Gold Special #2!

While old time radio ran the Perry Mason series for almost a decade, only Colonial Radio Theatre has been creating audio drama based on the great thrillers by Mason’s author Erle Stanley Gardner.

With Jerry Robbins himself solidly playing everyone’s favourite Attorney, and backed up by the fabulous Diane Capen and J.T. Turner, Sonic Gold is fortunate enough to be playing Perry and “The Case of the Velvet Claws” one of these great original stories.

Hold tight for the end of May for pure gold!

More Barrymore

April 30, 2009 / Jack / 4 Comments

To say that I love “Barrymore” produced by Colonial Radio Theatre, written by William Luce and starring Jerry Robbins, is like saying kids appreciate Halloween. There’s just not enough adjectives in the English language to describe this theatrical experience. One gets the feeling that you’re not listening to an audio drama, but you’re experiencing a night out to a Broadway Stage.

The production is crisp, and captures enough sound to support Robbin’s portrayal of John Barrymore. A portrayal which expertly sifts through the many moods and madnesses of the late master.

If, like me, you’re building your audio library this is a must buy. And even if, you’re not considering making a large collection, this is the show you’ll want to hear time and time again- and remember when Hollywood and the American Stage held court with Kings.
