Kenneth Jarman has written a good introduction about, well, introductions to Audio Drama in the Examiner.
After six years of Audio Drama trumpeting, we sometimes wonder if there’s still a street in a city, a pasture in the farmlands, or a grove in the hinterland that doesn’t know about the amazing re-genesis of modern Audio Drama, but it’s amazing how many people:
a. Don’t know about it.
b. Think it’s just reposting Old Time Radio
or
c. Don’t think that Audio Drama would be any good to listen to as an alternative to music.
To them, I always ask. “How great would it be to watch movies in your car without having to stop looking at the road?” or “Wouldn’t cleaning the house or the dishes go a lot faster if you had a movie to watch without actually watching it?” or “How many times have you said you need to go for a walk or work out, but you just have no way to look forward to doing it?”
I know this Fall, I’ve made walking a daily (usually twice daily) practice, and I’ve listened to so much more. Sometimes I’m in the middle of a story, so I go for a longer walk just to finish it up.
Could Audio Drama actually promote healthy bodies as WELL as healthy minds?
We’ll get our scientists on that right away. In the meantime, have a read of Jarman’s piece. It’s a great primer!

Bill Hollweg from Broken Sea Audio has done it again! It wasn’t long ago, when the superstar producer was looking at taking some of his favourite Old Time Radio shows and “cleaning up” the sound quality to return and improve the audio experience for a new generation to enjoy.
He had so much fun, and received such positive responses from those who knew about this little project that he went ahead and began his own podcasting series on it!
The OTR Swag Cast got off to a great start with music by the multi-talented Stevie K. Farnaby presenting Lux Radio Theatre’s Secret of the Incas starring Charlton Heston! A great OTR for those who have a love for pulp movies like Indiana Jones!
Start downloading now! This is going to be fun!
