From the shadows of the jungle comes a mystery older than civilization itself! Temple of Vampires is a cooperative recreation of the classic adventure from Carlton E. Morse’s legendary radio series I Love a Mystery, newly produced for the Mutual Audio Network by Sonic Cinema Productions and The Amigos Collective. In this thrilling opening double-feature, Jack, Doc, and Reggie travel deep into South America in search of a mysterious stone temple rumored to hold an ancient terror—one whispered about in fearful tones by the locals: vampires. As danger closes in from the jungle and the secrets of the temple begin to emerge, our heroes must decide whether the legend is merely superstition… or something far more deadly.
The production stars Jeff Billard as Jack, Lothar Tuppan as Reggie, Jack Ward as Doc, and Angela Young as Sunny, with John Bell, Jan Didur, and introducing Austin Mosher as Hermie. David Ault is your Announcer, with Sharon Bee on the organ. Post-production by Michael Messner, with script updates and direction by Jack J. Ward.

Prologue: John Bell of the Batfry remembers the Sonic Society!
This week we return once again to the next exciting installment of the Arbiter Chronicles from Prometheus Theater. One of the enduring ideas of space that has been explored so readily in television shows like Star Trek, Firefly, Space Above and Beyond, and Babylon 5 among others is the concept of isolation. Like great adventurers of the past, heroes in space will not have the opportunity to turn to the powerful resources of a city, country, or empire to solve problems that arise. This leaves room for the ingenious, the clever, and the wiley. Surviving in space requires a quick understanding of a situation when it arises and the best solution with the least amount of depleted resources in the task. The best Captains in space are those who inspire courage in their fellows and answers to the most complex solutions. Whether they are Kirk, Adama, Reynolds or Atal.
After our feature in this meeting we’ll listen to a segment from Crazy Dog Audio on the process of writing radio drama, and of course end with the second last episode of Dream Realm Enterprise’s Robots of the Company.
