Tonight Matt Leong Productions presents X-Minus One’s classically chilling science fiction thriller “Cold Equation”!
I think I’ve been saying this for some years now, and most recently in the Bill Hollweg Retrospective but Dirk Maggs is to the audio drama medium as Steven Spielberg is to movies. Master of the Film Source of the modern audio drama movement, Mr. Maggs has been working tirelessly producing action adventure audio for many years now.
So naturally Audible Range asked the question Who is this Dirk Maggs and why does he rule so hard? Because one of the wonderful things about Audio Drama is it keeps getting rediscovered again and again!
Dirk speaks about his experiences with audio drama and his new X-Files release. Check out the interview, and if you want to hear the man himself as he abides, check out our interview Maggsnifiscent Audio.
Tonight on the Bill Hollweg Retrospect we present Jake Sampson- Monster Hunter and “The Gods of War” with a special interview with Mark (Mak) Kalita. Sit back and relax to three hours of pulp pounding action from Bill and the rest of the Broken Sea Audio Productions gang!
Just watched Dunkirk with my colleague and I was interested in how this tension was developed through the ticking clock. According to nofilmschool this is all about a Shepard Tone.
Do you use Shepard Tones in your audio drama? Maybe it’s time to start ratcheting up the tension!
Tonight the incredible Rich Frohlich and Texas Radio Theatre returns with Alex Raymond’s incredible “Flash Gordon!”
While not exactly electronic or even electric, the Mystery of Greek Amphitheater’s Amazing Sound Finally Solved according to live science. Every good audiomaturge (yes, it’s now a word) understands the importance of making the best opportunity of your sound waves. The Greeks weren’t just experts in warfare, but also sonic tactics through the use of “audio traps”. The corrugations of the seats are part of the key. We always knew that we have created our audio works on the backs of giants, it’s not often that we’re reminded that they were some of the greatest myth makers too!
Tonight broadswords and battle axes are mandatory as our Amigos introduce Bill’s action-packed sword and sorcery series The Grog and Gryphon. Make sure you get to the tavern and download the rest of this ten episode unfinished epic!
Tonight in a special feature, Pete Lutz and the Narada Radio Company return to grace the Playhouse Theatre stage with a super presentation of the classic drama with Meridian 7-1212!
Wired recently wrote an article entitled: Where is Hollywood Looking for its Next Hit? Podcasts.
From the article:
Like books, podcasts prove that a story works, that listeners like it and will keep coming back to follow it. More importantly, podcasts can prove an idea’s viability at a fraction of the cost of producing a TV pilot. “It’s essentially a prototype of a produced franchise,” says Chris Giliberti, the head of multi-platform efforts at podcast company Gimlet Media. “In Silicon Valley terms, this is an MVP.” And in the past year, TV producers have started to recognize podcasts’ value. Amazon announced last fall that Gale Anne Hurd, who helped transform The Walking Dead from a beloved comics series into a beloved TV series, would be adapting the horror show Lore for the streaming service. ABC is already working on Zach Braff’s Alex, Inc., an adaptation of tech industry podcast StartUp. And now, Mr. Robot creator Sam Esmail is adapting Gimlet’s Homecoming for Amazon, starring Julia Roberts.
For a long time now we’ve been arguing that a good audio drama is a great idea to sell to Hollywood. It’s a fraction of the cost with the entire story in tact. Nice to see that others are getting the same idea.
