Prologue: Ruby Fink’s recollections of the Sonic Society! Episode #4 Aired: 9/27/2005 From Asimov to Zelazny and every where in between science fiction has been the canvas for art work both wildly representational as well as highly realistic. Science Fiction has the potential to unveil powerful truths about humanity. Gene Roddenberry brought this to the forefront in his very popular “Star Trek” series, and decades later we’re still learning about who we are as a society, and as human beings. In Prometheus Radio Theatre’s award winning series- “The Arbiter Chronicles” great tales of the human spirit are the launching pad to adventure! Later we’ll have a conversation with the actors and producers of the Arbiter Chronicles, listen to another sketch from Bradley Phoenix, and continue our weekly serial from DreamRealm Enterprises with Robots of the Company Episode #4.
Prologue: Chris Moody brings his thoughts of the Sonic Society! Episode 3 Aired: 9/20/2005From the Emerald Isle this tale brought to us by Kerric Harvey, professor and author, explores some of the lesser known yet nevertheless pivotal characters from the past. It is well known that history is written by the victors, however even the victors contain their own prejudices and preferences when it comes to chronicling what was. Witness how familiar the name Brian Boru is compared to that of Gormlaith. Brian has long been considered the last great high king to unite all of Ireland fighting back the Viking usurpers in the late 10th and early 11th centuries. So then who is this Gormlaith who held such political sway that she had either married, bed, or bore most of the great men and heroes of that age? What kind of power did she wield? And who would want to diminish her role in history- this enigmatic and ambitious woman of quality? But let us let Professor Harvey explain this mystery in her own radio drama entitled- “Gormlaith- Princess of Ireland.” Later we’ll have a conversation with Professor Harvey, listen to a sketch from the works of Bradley Thunderbird Phoenix, and of course continue our weekly serial from DreamRealm Enterprises- Robots of the Company Episode #3.
Prologue: Jack remembers how the Sonic Society began from the Shadowlands Theatre to the Society… Episode 2 Aired: 9/13/2005 Welcome to our first podcasting meeting of the Sonic Society. For the most part, the Society can be heard from coast to coast across North America. At times, however, our podcasting license boxes with our regular affiliates license and loses. So instead of having holes in our podcasting shows, we would like to offer special release podcasting shows not available to our regular affiliates. Here is the first special edition podcast. This week, “And Low, Thou I Walk” from the Shadowlands Theatre Players. “And Low Thou I Walk” is the psychological tale of witch hunts and witchery. Torture and Torments, Faith and Lies, and is part of the Seven Deadly Sins Series I’ve written. Later we’ll have a conversation with Mr. Jerry Robbins from Colonial Radio Theater, and of course we’ll continue our weekly serial from DreamRealm Enterprises with Robots of the Company Episode #2.
David Ault begins this episode with a conversation about the goals of Classic Sonic Society Podcast. Episode #1 Aired: 9/06/2005 This week we kick off the festivities with a little soul searching. Are we alone? Or does God have control over everything? Shall we leave it in his hands, or take actions ourselves. In my own writings I’ve often considered exactly what part the celestial plays in the affairs of humanity. David Koenigsberg’s continuing series “The Soul Patrol” answers that question in a mixture of rye humour and dramatic tension. Later we’ll have a conversation with Mr. Koenigsberg about creating radio drama, and begin our weekly serial from DreamRealm Enterprises- Robots of the Company.
In our grand finale for the sixteenth season of Sonic Summerstock, Jack Ward takes a relook at a classic episode of “I was a Communist for the F.B.I. and remakes it for the future and Retro Rockets with “I Was a Martian for the E.B.I.” and the thrilling Sci-Fi Electric Curtain thriller. Sonic Cinema Productions and the Amigos Collective bring us “The Sleeper!”
The Narada Radio Company, a significant contributor to Sonic Summerstock Playhouse over the past decade, is back again this year with a major effort. Producer Pete Lutz is proud to bring you his adaptation of the Orson Welles film, THE STRANGER! Loosely attributed to the lost Old-Time Radio series, “This is Hollywood”, from the late 1940s, Narada presents a re-imagining of what their radio adaptation of the tense, thrilling film, about a Nazi hunter and his prey, might have been like. With a huge cast of Narada favorites!
We’re back with Mutual Presents and more misadventures with Adventures with Maisie double-feature who brings in our summer with “Maisie & The Dueling Actors” and “Maisie Sells Restoro Skin-Rejuvenator”!
In our encore performance from Project Audion this season, Larry Groebe returns again to ask what do you do if you grew up listening the classic dramatic series on the radio, then found a career writing TV comedy for Bob Hope, and now, decades later, you still harbor fond feelings about those radio shows of your youth? Well, if you’re Robert L. Mills, you write shows like the one you’re about to hear. It’s a takeoff of a certain famous detective whose name sounds awfully similar to OUR show’s hero, named Stan Slade. The original “Adventures of Sam Spade” was broadcast in the late 1940s and early ’50s. It starred Howard Duff as the detective created by Dashiell Hammett. It was a fun show that never took itself entirely seriously. Mr Mills has nudged his tribute a little further into the tongue-in-cheek — or should I say tongue in beak? -territory, reuniting the detective with his old adversaries from the Maltese Falcon movie, Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre. Everyone in our cast gets to have some fun with this adventure of Stan Slade, Detective, entitled “The Burmese Penguin Caper”.
There are few people in this world that Jack admires as equally as the incredible Robert Arnold from “Spoken Signal Podcast“. He checks in with the latest offering with his “Black Dog” series.
