Prologue: Lothar Tuppan brings his first memory of the Society! Replay of the Christmas Podcast A treat for the Society’s podcasting audience- a delayed Christmas present. In this special replacement podcast we travel to the past as your host reads three stories from Oscar Wilde. What makes this gift extra-special is the heartfelt motivation behind it. After, it’s Christmas in August as we travel to the future with the Robotz of the Company and their season finale, “Santicon Day”.

Retro Rockets returns with an original tale of the execution of a man whose only crime is he can’t fit in with the rest of the town, and the woman who loved him until the end! Starring Mel Rose, Pete Lutz and Lothar Tuppan. Produced by John Bell and written and directed by Jack J. Ward!
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
Lothar reconvenes the Amigos for another session of Sonic Echo and science fiction with the limited series “Beyond Tomorrow” and the episode “The Outer Limit“!
Jeff brings to the Amigos Lothar and Jack the classic Ray Bradbury story “Fahrenheit 451” produced by BBC Radio. A massive discussion about the nature of freedom, censorship, television and books occurs!

A space ranger take the final report of a scientist on the death of his colleague on a far-distant moon. But, was it an accident? This keen look at the Sonic Cinema Production Podcast inaugural episode of the Retro Rockets Anthology!
