Sonic Society #697- Midsummer Sonic

This week, Fairies wreak havoc on the lives of their favorite human podcasters during 2020 lockdown. This modern adaptation of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, set during 2020 NYC with bickering fae, flirtatious mortals, and a podcast within a podcast, must be the work of none other than The Faustian Nonsense Network. This phenomenal group has a beautiful collection of audio drama, fiction, and live play shows and much, much more. But we begin with their first outing with “A Midsummer Quarantine, episode 1- An Honest Puck“! It’s Audio Drama time!

Sonic Society #696- Cross Park

We’re back with Season 17! Jack and David welcome one and all to the world’s largest and longest-running showcase of modern audio drama!
For our premiere, we have a dynamite double-feature beginning with James O’Neill’s “The Scarlet Cross“.

  1. The Great Plague has reached Cambridge.
    Man of learning Francis Mortymer describes the blight and it’s tightening grip.
    Sitting alone, in a stifling chamber with the plague closing around him, his thoughts circling smaller and smaller and darker and darker.
    And the regular visits of his haunting, spectral doctor.
    An atmospheric account of dread and fear.
    And death.
    Performed by Anton Lesser (Wolf Hall, The Crown, Game of Thrones)
    Sound Design by Paul Freeman
    Written by James O’Neill

And Residents of Proserpina Park from Angela Yih! The park is a beautiful and wonderful place with no screaming children, crowded spaces, or trash littered everywhere. The catch? The park residents might not be so welcoming. Welcome back, it’s Audio Drama time!

Sonic Summerstock Playhouse 12.9: Escape- The Derelict

And finally in our season finale for Sonic Summerstock 12 we have Pete Lutz with The Narada Radio Company Presenting: “The Derelict”. An episode of the hit radio series “Escape”, originally Aired In 1953. Producer Pete chose to put a sci-fi spin on this tale of shipwrecked castaways. Other than that, it’s the same story Of treachery, deceit and murder that went out over the airwaves 68 years ago!
Jack Ward sits in with David Ault for this final performance.

Sonic Summerstock Playhouse 12.7: Double Feature: The Shadow- The Bells of St. Peters and The Shadow’s Revenge

Another fantastic creation from the Mutual Broadcasting System was “The Shadow”. And the Shadow Recreation Society on youtube has been hard at work to recreate these grand episodes! “Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!” The opening lines of the “Detective Story” program captivated listeners and are instantly recognizable even today. Originally the narrator of the series of macabre tales, the eerie voice known as The Shadow became so popular to listeners that “Detective Story” was soon renamed “The Shadow,” and the narrator became the star of the old-time mystery radio series, which ran until 1954. This week the Recreation Society recreates “The Bells of St. Peters” and “The Shadows Revenge” in a special Playhouse double feature!
