In preparation for the 40th anniversary of the classic Old Time Radio series- Nightfall from the CBC, Jack sits down to talk to John Scott Ballentine and Kevin Hartnell of the amazing Campfire Radio Theater podcast!
Sonic Speaks 0501: Nightfall #1: Ballentine and Hartnell
Thanks for the last 2 shows. The Temp is great humor when we all need a little humor in our day.
Nightfall is as you said amazing and a series that confirms the comment that music is an actor.
I have been listening to Campfire since about 2012.
Your guests have brought up a an age old controversy. [Creating art-making a living-what the public wants]
Ballentine & Hartnell should write more if they want to write & produce more. In the end it is their art form. I will enjoy the stories years from now even if no more are written.
Thanks so much for your thoughts Gerida! I’m looking forward to your ideas as we continue the Nightfall interviews this Sonic Speaks Season. I know I always have fought to get out my shows even if they weren’t very well produced- because from my writer’s perspective I’d rather have more scripts completed than less, but John really made me rethink that philosophy.
