The Sonic Society

In the long lineup of fictional hard-boiled detectives, Philip Marlowe stands out as one of the earliest and best. Raymond Chandler’s creation first reached print in the early 1930s, then went on to memorable adaptations in film, television, and of course radio. “The Adventures of Philip Marlowe” had a solid four-year run of well over 100 episodes on CBS. Still, a handful of recordings are lost today. 
Now Project Audion recreates one of these missing episodes – “The Quiet Number” – directly from the original script, exactly seventy-five years after it was broadcast. “The Quiet Number” wasn’t penned by Chandler, but we meet the son of the man who wrote this and most of Marlowe’s other radio adventures. Then our transcontinental voice cast performs this gritty story of lost love in a hot Los Angeles summer via a live transcription that sounds just like 1949. Our versatile voice actors were:
Andy Hartson-bowyer in Virginia
Richard Durrington in Idaho
Gary Layton in Texas
Lothar Tuppan in California
Kristen James in Nevada
Holly Adams in New York
Kyle Bonn in Oregon
Larry Groebe produced and directed from Texas
