Jack and David spend more time in the incredible world of “Tales from Beyond the Pale” with “Hidden Records.” When a troubled teen is haunted by the memory of his musician father and the vinyl record that speaks from beyond the grave. Written and directed by Douglas Buck. Featuring Kevin Cline, Tony Todd, Susan Corbett. Performed live July 27, 2015.
From Jack J. Ward’s “Retro Rockets” Anthology, John Barber of Reimagined Radio brings us a feature of two of those episodes including “A Chaste Kiss Good-bye” and “Chrysalis”.
From the site:
This the third time Re-Imagined Radio has featured Jack J. Ward, a Canadian award-winning writer, director, actor, and producer of audio dramas, as a Guest Writer/Producer. We sampled from his “Good Day for a War” for our 16 May 2022 production of Fall of the City. Our June 2023 episode Coast To Coast, featured four science fiction fantasy stories produced by Ward’s production collaborative, Sonic Cinema Productions for his Retro Rockets Anthology series. All were original radio dramas “from the Golden Age of Science Fiction to the undiscovered worlds of the future.”
Jack likes to call his works “audio dramas.” They’re his passion. “Audio Drama has a vibrant community of like-minded artists,” he says, “nothing quite matches the immediate response that can come from producing a story in the audio format.”
We agree, and would add, “Nothing quite matches listening to well-crafted radio stories.”
It’s good to hear Jack’s audio dramas again.

Or wait until Sunday on Mutual when the Sunday Showcase will release this feature!
Jack wakes but has a new insight in the mystery of Mr. Crow taking David to “Tales from Beyond the Pale” beginning with “Reappraisal” and “In the Wind” from Glenn McQuaid and Larry Fessenden!
Jack sleeps fitfully in the TORDIS but gains an idea as he dreams of Spectre from Stef Howerton with episodes “A Way Out” and “Stowed”! Space exploration is lawless, dirty, and inconvenient, but that doesn’t stop Rho from seeking to recover lost memories and find her place in a universe that seems hell-bent on destroying her. SPECTRE is a swashbuckling space opera about the dangers of technology and the loss of humanity as a result of its use. It’s Audio Drama Time!
Jack catches up with Jaci Szilagyi from Faustian Nonsense to see what’s new with Mutual’s sister network!
David finishes the work on the TORDIS while Jack rests up. Meanwhile the incredible Jerry Stearns from Great Northern Audio is back with a great new feature “Cubicles” and Tim Wicks brings a laugh out loud episode of “Big Fun Adventure Time with “Lighter Than Heavy”!
Jack and David get the old girl TORDIS moving to tie up the Audioverse again! This week it’s “Love for Menability” from Wireless Theatre Ltd. Love for Menabilly is an original audio play written by Jo-Ann Challis, exploring the relationship between Daphne Du Maurier and the house she loved. Menabilly is a house with a past, but seemingly no future. Hidden away from prying eyes on a Cornish peninsula, Mena’s been abandoned by its owners and left to rot. It’s hurting and lonely, and embarrassed by its shabby appearance.
Jack clicks another bucket list item as he speaks with some of his favourite audio drama writers and producers- Daniel French and Patricia Keiller from Chronosphere Fiction!
David’s back! And a recently recovered drug addict tries to start her new lease on life, Jade Madison Scott and Nathan Gabriel bring us “Small Victories“. A recently recovered drug addict tries to start her new lease on life, too bad life has it out for her. This dramatic comedy follows Marisol through the ups and downs of her life. Episodes 1-4! It’s Audio Drama Time!
Jack chats with Professor Leslie McMurtry from the University of Salford Manchester about their favourite medium, England, America, and educating the next generation.
