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.

Dr. Mark Dreisonstok posted another stunning review in MD Theatre Guide focusing again on Rachel Pulliam’s significant works in this year’s Sonic Summerstock Playhouse!
Many of us travel to vacation destinations during the summer months. Audio plays are a wonderful way to pass the time, and two excellent, full-cast audio dramas from Sole Twin Audios fit the bill. “Short Order” is an exciting drama, somewhat in the style of film noir, and “2462” is a dystopian view of the world’s future. Both are recreations of classic radio plays from the long-running classic series, “Suspense.”
”Short Order” includes brilliant re-creations of the sounds of a fast food, casual restaurant in the 1940s, complete with bells which ring when customers enter, small paper ketchup containers on the tables, and a talkative short order cook. A customer with a severely disfigured face (expertly portrayed by Robin Robbins, who even imbues lines like “lots of ketchup” with menace) suddenly becomes a regular. The man exudes such a malevolent presence that business at the restaurant drops off considerably. Meanwhile, bad luck intrudes more and more in the home life of the restaurant’s owner, Mr. Bailey (convincingly acted by Joe Stofko). Is the worrisome customer somehow connected with Mr. Bailey’s troubles at home? If so, how?
