Ayla Taylor, the director of Tides, convened a panel of audio dramatists during 2019's PodCon—but this EXCLUSIVE EVENT wasn't at PodCon itself; no, no!It was held at the marvelous Ada's Technical Books and Cafe in Seattle's Capitol Hill. Only about 40 people could squeeze into the space, so with everyone's permission, we are bringing YOU this super secret panel, because information deserves to be FREEEEEEEE.This event, entitled "An Evening with Audio Drama Creators", featured the following speakers:Ayla Taylor of Tides (https://www.tidespodcast.com/)Mischa Stanton of The Whisperforge (https://www.whisperforge.org/) and Levar Burton Reads (http://www.levarburtonpodcast.com/)Bridget "Bridge" Geene of Tides and Arden (https://ardenpodcast.com)Lisette Alvarez of Kalila Stormfire's Economical Magick Services (https://www.kalilastormfire.com/)Jordan Cobb of Here be Dragons (https://www.herebedragonsradio.com/) and Janus Descending (https://www.nosuchthingradio.com/listen)James Oliva of What's the Frequency (https://wtfrequency.com/), Greater Boston (https://greaterbostonshow.com/), and many more,and Jeffrey Gardner of Hartlife NFP (Our Fair City [http://www.ourfaircity.com/] , Unwell [https://www.unwellpodcast.com/] )Settle in for a fabulous longform conversation about audio fiction.Special thanks are due to Betsey Palmer of Hartlife, who recorded this entire dang thing.

Back in November, friend of the show Jeffrey Gardner convened a roundtable of critics and creators in the audio fiction space:Elena Fernández-Collins of Audiodramatic and the Bello CollectiveWil Williams of Wil Williams Reviews Prof. Sarah Montague of Stories on Stage Mischa Stanton of The Whisperforge Paul Bae of The Black Tapes and The Big Loop Jeffrey Gardner of the forthcoming podcast Unwell and me!Check out our conversation about the state of the industry! Also, a song about beef.

Topics include the genesis and central message of Flyest Fables, Black, trans, queer/nb voices in SF/fantasy, the role of music in Flyest Fables, the inspirations for Morgan's character voices, his experience at Transom, his time with the DC police and Just Detention International, hopepunk and hope in general.

As a note, this episode was recorded using Emily's previous name and pronouns. David brings us back from the Thanksgiving holiday as he interviews Arden creators Sara Ghaleb, Emily VanDerWerff, and Christopher Dole. They discuss the origins of the show, the different writing styles that each of them contributes, and the ethics of true crime media (and many other things besides.)https://www.patreon.com/ardenpod

This Thanksgiving, I'm thankful for Arden!Is it a true-crime parody? No, not exactly. It takes the crime very seriously. But it is funny, and it is also a show with a mystery: what happened to actress and heiress Julie Capsom, when she disappeared on Christmas a decade ago?The product of three writers—sketch comic Sara Ghaleb, entertainment critic Todd VanDerWerff, and Hollywood historian Christopher Dole—Arden is an engaging mystery hosted by two women—an ex-cop and a reporter—who fight over how they want to frame the show and contextualize Capsom's disappearance.

The 11th hour is upon us! And David peeks out from underneath the blankets to bring you two selections from this year's releases, To the Moon and Back, by Boom's Faith McQuinn, and Wolpertingers by Kessi Riliniki.Listen to more great horror and enchanting tales at 11th Hour Audio Productions http://11thhouraudio.comCW: gore, human trafficking, general spookiness

They've sent him to a private research base in Antarctica, to prep the facility for the arrival of the scientists later in the season. For now, though. he's alone with his thoughts—or IS HE?Content warnings for the first two episodes: Episode 1: Something not unlike an evisceration befalls a minor character.

David haunts us from Maine with this week's October scare, Lake Clarity!As their last summer together wanes, five Colorado teenagers trek out to Lake Clarity, a site laden with challenging hikes and mysterious secrets.

This month, Wil Williams and Matt Boudreau scare the crap out of David by forcing him to confront the thrills, the chills, the edge of your seat nail-biting joys of Halloween? Will he survive this week's presentation of the first two episodes of the eerie and haunting Palimpsest? Well, yes. Somebody had to read the credits. Listen in!http://www.thepalimpsestpodcast.com/

Can an apolitical story still have artistic value? Do stakes need to do be the driver of good storytelling? Ponder these questions and more as David interviews Jules and James creator, Jennifer Schwed on this week's episode of Radio Drama Revival.

David is ill! But that doesn't stop our intrepid hosting hero from bringing you a little romance with this week's feature, Jules and James from 4th Wall Productions.http://meetjulesandjames.com/

Queen Victoria, having survived numerous assassination attempts, has been biotically welded to poor Prince Albert.

This week we received a mysterious submission from a mysterious stranger who only identified themselves as Icewater. Was it a dead-drop? Are we spies now? ARE YOU?!Who knows, and who cares! Utopia is a fascinating new project that takes place in an alternate timeline that diverged from ours shortly after the first World War; the entire planet is now unified under a single government, everyone speaks Esperanto, and there's money and services sufficient to give everyone plenty of leisure time.So why would anyone ever want out?Our protagonist, Glacio, explores an ineffable well of discontentment within himself as we play episode 1 of Utopia: "Gladness".

This week, David interviews Gannon Reedy about the origins of NeoScum, the '80s revival, and how long-form improv informs the show.

This week, David speaks with Beth Eyre and Felix Trench about all things Wooden Overcoats! They discuss how they met, first memories of the show, the role of (and the search for a better name for) the "straight man", attitudes to death, and Beth's other projects.

Piffling's least favorite undertaker, Rudyard Funn, takes to the woods for an unorthodox funeral in this episode of the delightful British sitcom Wooden Overcoats. Their latest season digs deeper into the lives of their oddball characters, and it's even more hilarious—and more poignant—than ever. This week, we bring you Episode 3: "Rudyard Takes a Hike".And stay tuned: next week, David chats with Rudyard and Antigone themselves, Felix Trench and Beth Eyre!

David talks story evolution, social commentary and unreliable narrators with Gabriel Urbina and Sarah Shachat from Wolf 359.

This is one of my favorite episodes of any audio drama.It encompasses everything I love about Wolf 359: its pacing, its plotting, its deep humanism, and its fantastic writing, music, and performances. Like all great science fiction, it is about more than just its text—and I think that's what attracted me to this episode.I'll be talking to Gabriel Urbina and Sarah Shachat, the two main writers behind Wolf 359, next week -- and so to prep for that, I wanted to revisit an old favorite.This episode falls in Season 3 of Wolf 359, so while I think it's a successful standalone (and I provide more context in the episode itself), you should certainly feel free to dive into the series and start from the beginning. I promise it's worth it.What does "Memoria" represent to you? Let me know what you think; hit us up in the comments or talk at us on Twitter; we're @radiodrama.

I sat down with Matt Roi Berger, Jonathan Goldberg, and Marcus Bagala of The Fall of the House of Sunshine to discuss craft, prog rock albums, President Harding fighting a walrus, and, of course, teeth.

A struggle between flesh and fuzz. A mad emperor, cackling atop a grand pyramid of his own creation. A band of fleshy rebels with moxie, verve, and puffy-paint! It's an ass-kicking, name-taking space-age rock musical, back for more: this time it's even weirder.YUP oh man oh man it's The Fall of the House of Sunshine, Season II: DAYS OF FUTURE FUZZ.If you loved the previous utterly wackadoo sampling from this show, I think you're going to love Season 2 even more.You don't need to have listened to the first season to make sense of the second. Suffice it to say that there was a sinister plot to detonate the fuzzatronic bomb—an arcane weapon that turned everything into fuzzy puppets and stuffed animals. Well. Almost everything.There's a very fun guest star in this episode, to boot!ENJOY, and stick around for next week's show, an interview with some of the creative dynamos behind this project!

Sunny Moraine joins me to discuss their horror podcast, Gone, their stream-of-consciousness writing/performing style, their terrifying-but-fascinating doctoral dissertation, and so much more!We discuss:Sunny's origins in podcastingLARPing?The balance between mystery-box plots and Explaining EverythingFoucault's heterotopia, and spaces outside of normal rulesMental illness and apocalypse (where did they all go?!)Poetry!Sunny's other fiction, particularly eyes I dare not meet in dreams

It's morning, and something's different. Everything's different. Everyone's gone. No commotion, no explanation. Suddenly the world is emptied of people. Except for you.This is Sunny Moraine's GONE, a taut, claustrophobic horror podcast about waking up and realizing you're entirely alone in the world. It's kind of the horror-counterpart to Michelle Nickolaisen's UNPLACED, at least superficially -- but while those two shows twine around similar themes, their execution couldn't be more different.We play episode 1 of Gone, "Awakening". Stay tuned for next week's show, when show creator Sunny and I sit down for a chat about their creative process, their dissertation in sociology, and makin' scary fiction.

This week, I sit down with Faith McQuinn, the director and creator of Boom: A Serial Drama Podcast.And what a delight she is! We talk about Faith's history with radio drama, her filmmaker's background, Rovee the cleaning robot, and the long road to making Boom.Boom is a show about denial and fury, masculinity and repression. It's perpetually relevant, and very smart—and Faith herself is no different! I'm excited to see what else this creator has up her sleeves.

IT'S OUR 500TH EPISODE!And to ring it in, we're celebrating by playing a new old favorite, Faith McQuinn's BOOM.I talk about the I Love Lucy Show Syndrome, and how it plays into the way I feel about this excellent show.Hey: This episode contains major spoilers for Season 1 of Boom, so if you don't wanna get spoiled, head on back to the website and listen from the beginning before starting this episode. This is the first episode of Season Two, "Everything I Could".Stay tuned for next week, when you'll hear me interview Faith McQuinn, the director and creator of Boom.CW: murder, a loud explosion, trauma throughout

This week, we're playing the first episode of Onion Public Media's A Very Fatal Murder—it's a spot-on parody of all the true-crime programs you love to binge, from Serial to S-Town to The Staircase.I got to talk to series directors Ryan Natoli and Fran Hoepfner, and writers Louisa Kellogg and David Sidorov. Sidorov plays David Pascall, the host and protagonist of A Very Fatal Murder. We talk about the Onion pitching process, translating the techniques of short-form video to audio fiction, and Fran's Discarded Teens (a show I wish existed).Our Patreon is live! Throw us some dollars, please. a satirical news agency, for those of you outside the United States

We're playing Michelle Nickolaisen's Unplaced, a show about a woman who finds herself suddenly invisible. It's skilfully written and acted, and it's got a fantastic soundtrack. We play the first three episodes, and wonder—what's it like to be slowly but surely erased from your own life?Have a wonderful Passover and Easter, y'all!

This week on, we're playing The Bright Sessions, episode 50: "Rose", a surprise musical episode! Later, show creator Lauren Shippen joins me for a chat about the creative work that went into making this special episode -- it's a can't-miss for musical fans!

Linguist, critic, and Bello Collective reviewer Elana Fernández Collins joins me to present Love and Luck, a magical epistolary romance from Australia. It's here, it's queer; it's DELIGHTFUL, and nobody dies. So settle in to a warm and happy bubble bath of a show in which two people fall in love and slowly discover they have magic powers. Then they open a cafe. Like, c'mon! How sweet is that?!You can find Ely's writing on the Bello Collective, or at her new audio drama newsletter, Audiodramatic.

Do you want to hear a story? Of course you do! On this week's show, we're rejoined by Host-Alumnus Fred Greenhalgh to introduce his new show, The Mayan Crystal... a tale of adventure, sisterhood, anticolonialism, and magic, all taking place in modern-day Belize.Join us for an episode of the new show, and a chat with Fred wherein we discuss the mythic origins of this story, the need to expand representation in media, and the way in which we have redecorated our pretend RDR headquarters.

This week, I chat with Eric and Amanda, two of the minds behind Join the Party, an inclusive audio drama powered by roleplaying game mechanics. We played an episode of their show in Episode 492; join me as I chat with the two of them about:Making the hobby accessibleActual-play podcasts like The Adventure ZoneMaking space for queerness and women in nerd cultureTweaking game mechanics for storytelling purposesFleeting Carly Rae Jepsen referencesAaaaand more!

Gather round the table and get immersed in DM Eric's tale of the Concentric States. Inara, Johnny, and TR8C must be fleet of foot and quick of wit to catch up with the Red Throat gang, who have captured the beloved Prince Alonzo!Actual-play RPG podcasts have spiked in popularity recently, and I wanted to highlight a successful and compelling one.

In this episode, we play Kane and Feels, Paranormal Investigators, a new series from Skaði's Symphony. They're a production team out of the UK with a neo-noir that blends Jungian psychology with, in this case, Norse myth.In this week, Kane and Feels take on the case of "The Frozen Child".

Harry wanted to be alone, and so he was: as alone as a person can be, transmuted into tachyon particles and hurled into deepest space, with nothing but an artificial intelligence for company. He was alone, and then, gradually, he wasn't. Harry and his friend Cailyn, are commanders on distant power stations with nothing but their AIs and their correspondence for company. Harry and Cailyn receive an application that allows them to upload virtual surrogates of themselves so that they can communicate "in-person", and it's the connection forged via those surrogates that might just save the universe.

This week, we're featuring Earbud Theater's "The Sounds Below", a chilling tale about a man plagued by panic and sleeplessness. Chris, unable to shake the trauma of his brother's death in a car accident, is making no headway with his therapist, and one night he goes wandering into the city, stumbling upon a strange little shop. The shopkeeper claims she sells the cure for fear. Would you buy it?

This week, we're exploring Christopher Reynaga's Point Mystic, playing "White Rabbit, Parts I and II" from that show. Point Mystic is a fiction show done up in a narrative-nonfiction style, à la This American Life—it's about Christopher's family, and the spookiness of the town they inhabit. The White Rabbit cycle was created in collaboration with Christopher's wife, Marguerite Croft, and their son Fox—and all three of them act (quite ably) in the show.It's a fascinating mixture of nonfiction interviews and fiction segments, but presented in such a way that each supports the other, which isn't as common as you'd think.

It's our Christmas spectacula-a-a-a-a-ar! Settle in for a long winter's DELIGHT as we present Sassquach Radio's Deck The Halls (With Matrimony!), a Christmas romantic comedy.Then stick around, because I interview the writer/director, Ashley Quach, and the show's star and producer, Paula Deming.

Peri is a quiet woman who keeps to herself in a lighthouse overlooking the ocean, but one day, she wakes up somewhere totally unfamiliar; she's still in the lighthouse, but the lighthouse no longer overlooks the ocean...It's The Far Meridian by Eli Barraza, a writer and actor on ars PARADOXICA and a thoughtful, fascinating creator.Join us as we listen to the first two episodes of The Far Meridian's first season; then Eli herself joins me for a conversation about the origins of this show, magic realism, and dope space news.Donate to the paypal link on our website!

Northwestern University professor of Sound Studies Neil Verma joins me for a segment we call GOING DEEP. This week, we're exploring the classic horror of Arch Oboler's Lights Out, in a 1943 episode called "Murder in the Script Department". After the feature, Professor Verma teaches me about what was going on in this period of audio drama, I learn about how Oboler was a scriptomaniac man-about-town, and how voice actress Mercedes McCambridge (of EXORCIST fame) exerted absolute control over her instrument.Neil's book, Theater of the MindOur Paypal link (set up a sustaining donation today!)

What a suntabulous bicuspid of a day! It's time for the Sunshine Smile Hour, a dental hygiene-themed children's program! Oh golly, this is a good one, and ain't that the tooth.So this episode is utterly wackadoo: imagine a musical comedy along the lines of Book of Mormon, Avenue Q, or Reefer Madness, with a solid helping of noir pastiche and cosmic horror alongside. The Fall of the House of Sunshine is like if you put all of the above musicals into a high-powered blender along with a collection of H.P. Lovecraft short stories, a pint of ether and a handful of dexedrine. It is hilarious! It is offensive! It is stylistically all over the place! It is RELENTLESS!And I love it? You will too, I reckon.

This week, we're presenting writer, director, and film professor Faith McQuinn's Boom, a story of loss, recovery, secrets, and murder. Porter, the protagonist, must deal with the murder of his best friend—and the police consider him the prime suspect. We get inside Porter's head as he struggles to come to grips with the crime and reassemble his life.Faith gave us episodes 1 and 2 of Boom for you.

Bronzeville is a story of the Great Migration: it follows Jimmy Tillman (Larenz Tate), a papermill worker from Arkansas who kills a strikebreaker and flees to Chicago to find a new life for himself, tracing the steps of millions of Black Americans who migrated from the rural South to the urban North in the mid-20th century.Jimmy makes his way to Bronzeville, the legendary Black neighborhood on Chicago's South Side, where he falls in with the Copeland family, the operators of a policy racket—an underground lottery—that functioned like a bank when white-owned banks wouldn't lend to Black people. Everett Copeland (Wood Harris) is doing a spell in federal prison for tax evasion, so he asks his old lieutenant Curtis "Eyeball" Randolph (Laurence Fishburne) to get back into the game.(Yeah for real this is a star-studded episode! I can scarcely believe it myself.)We play episode 1 of Bronzeville, and then I talk to two of the producers, LaRon and Lahmard Tate, about the show's origins, productions that are too Black for TV, and the Tate family's Chicago history.CW: violence, racist languageHEY ALSO we have a PayPal button that I forgot about? Give us dollars, please.Credits inspired by Zev Chevat.

We're celebrating AUDIO DRAMA DAY by featuring some works from 11th Hour Productions, the once-a-year marathon audio drama production festival where dramatists from all the world over come together to create magnificently creepy fiction.We're featuring two pieces this year: Shadows of Halloween, written by Neil Gustin and created by 11th Hour US East, and Ivory Towers, written by Richard Brooks and created by 11th Hour UK.Stick around for the credits for the thrilling conclusion of Radio Drama Revival and the Ham of Mallorca.

New York playwright and audio dramatist Mac Rogers joins me for a discussion about craft, aliens, and influences as we excerpt some of his new thriller, Steal The Stars, a co-production between Tor Books and his own production company, Gideon Media.Steal the Stars is the story of Dakota "Dak" Prentiss, the security chief at Quill Marine, a secretive private military contractor. Quill Marine is built around the biggest secret of all time, and new recruits have to be taken down to see the secret—to see if they can handle it. But a new recruit, Matt Salem, turns out to be more than Dak herself can handle. In the sexy love-type way, I mean.This is a story of forbidden love, aliens, and a big old friggin' heist, baby.#SPOOPTOBER continues!

It wouldn't be a monster episode without MONSTERS, would it?! Awww yeah it's zombie time!American podcast legend KC Wayland joins me for a chat about craft, zombies, and Force Multipliers of Art.We're gonna play an episode of We're Alive: Lockdown, the miniseries that combines a jailbreak with horror-survival adventure.

It's a spine-tingler this week, as we dive into the twisted world of Darkest Night with a little story called "Horns Limo Service".Darkest Night is a horror anthology series from the Paragon Collective, and what makes it special is its binaural recording setup. It's similar to what Campfire Radio does: it puts you inside the action. Not a lot of audio drama companies do this, and it's really neat!After the feature, I have a chat with Alex Aldea, the director and producer of Darkest Night. We talk origins, horror, sound design, and all kinds of spoopy junk.Enjoy!

Why do we climb? Why do people look at the tallest mountains in the world -- vast, inhospitable places -- and say, "I want to climb to its summit"? When you're up there, what do you become?

This week, it's the Stories of Mahabharata, retold by Sudipta Bhawmik, a multitalented playwright, storyteller, and engineer. With music and immersive sound design by Avi Ziv, Bhawmik animates this ancient Indian epic, rendering it in English to delight those that have never heard it before as well as those who were raised on the stories.The Mahabharata is thousands of years old, and originally in Sanskrit. It tells the story of two groups of warring cousins -- the Pandava brothers and the Kaurava brothers -- who fight over the throne. But it's more than just a war story; it's a story of love and curses, righteousness and evil, tricksters, poisons, and monkeys.We're featuring episodes 30 and 31 of Bhawmik's retold Mahabharata: first, Bheema (a Pandava brother with enormous strength) encounters Hanuman. Then, a story of Arjuna (another Pandava, and the greatest archer in the world).Stories of Mahabharata@MahabharatAudio

This week, we dive into the fabulous world of The Axe and Crown -- (our very own) Eli McIlveen's spinoff miniseries from Alba Salix, Royal Physician. It's a fantasy world where the most immediate dangers aren't dragons or wizards, but yuppies threatening to gentrify your neighborhood.Gubbin is a salty old troll who runs a tavern called The Axe and Crown. It's a dive bar on the bad side of the river. Stan is a human, and the naive new landlord who thinks he can renovate the place.What we've got today is a little sampler that Eli threw together of episodes 2, 3, and 4: it'll be enough to whet your appetite, I reckon!The Axe and CrownAlba SalixCheck out the interview I did with Eli when we first ran Alba Salix on RDR.

This week, we play an episode of an experimental podcast called PODCAST MEANDER, which kind of skirts the border between autobiography and fiction. Dan Leone plays/is a character, also named Dan, who has thrown away his old life (or attempted to). After secretly saving for years, Dan quits his job in Connecticut and heads west, unsure of what he wants to do with his life.In the episode you'll hear today, Dan comes to suddenly on a train, unaware of where it's going, why he's aboard, or where he left his car.It's an intriguing mix of documentary, interview, and fiction, and I think you'll like it.CW: mental illness, substance abuse, politicshttp://www.podcastmeander.com/episodes-1/

Today RDR from the Vault launches a series of episodes highlighting Roger Gregg, playwright master of Dublin, Ireland.Roger pioneered his own audio sound, a wacky blend of Captain Beefheart sonic assault and an intimate, fine theatre sensibility. He produced for RTE - that’s the public radio of Ireland- for the better part of a decade and since parting ways with them has continued on mostly on stage but ocacsionally gracing us with an audio piece. What we’ll hear today is one of the latter types, from the post-RTE era of Roger’s work, done during his work as a theatre instructor at the Gaiety school of Acting in Ireland.This is “Heart of Morphine”Morgan O’Brien hangs in limbo between life and death, and finds the afterlife a much wilder place than he imagined. Confused, frustrated, and alone, he is forced to confront the reality of his actions made while alive. But is there still time to go back and change things?

This week, things are going to get spooky at Radio Drama Revival as we delve into the world of horror audio fiction. David talks to Marc Sollinger and Dan Powell, the evil minds behind Archive 81 and The Deep Vault.

We’ll also take a listen to the first episode of their show Archive 81, which is about a young man with a new job, recordings from an uncanny apartment building, and the dangers of listening.

I'm all about the growth mindset: the idea that you can always improve yourself and your work, and to me, nothing embodies that more than JIM ROBBIE AND THE WANDERERS, a constantly-evolving production that puts fun, ingenuity, and optimism where you'd never expect it: the apocalypse.The world is different, scorched, sunk, and changed, but that doesn't really seem to bother our heroes, a wacky traveling band composed of two humans and a tin-can robot.

This week, we get SILLY with a little Starlight Radio Dreams – a live variety show recorded in Chicago by veterans of Chicago's theater scene. Starlight Radio Dreams is hosted by Devin Showtime (Anna Gaetke), a media-savvy Millenial, and her old-timey uncle Burlington Showtime (Ansel Burch), a film star of days gone by. It's all oh so very goofy; mouth foley and bad puns abound.This week, you'll hear a little snippet of SRD, including not just the show's frame narrative of Burlington and Devin Showtime, but one of their four radio serials as well: The Merry Wench Wendy, a steampunk adventure about pirates, revenge, and collectible card games.

This week, we take a dip into the chilly methane seas of Titan with "Kraken Mare", an atmospheric sci-fi horror thriller from friends of the show Matthew McLean and Robert Cudmore of the Audio Production Podcast.When plucky British astronauts descend into Kraken Mare, the largest sea of Saturn's strangest moon, they don't know just what they'll find. And they certainly aren't expecting what's about to find THEM.Enjoy!The post Episode 433 – Yap Audio’s KRAKEN MARE appeared first on Radio Drama Revival.

This week on Radio Drama Revival, it’s the comic sci-fi thriller Wolf 359. This genre-bending show, by turns endearing, intense, terrifying, and hilarious, is a delight to listen to - and its stars are a delight to talk to!Wolf 359 is the story of a lonely little space station orbiting a red dwarf star, and the four personalities aboard it: Commander Renée Minkowski, a badass astronaut who has literally memorized the book on deep-space survival; Alexander Hilbert, a scientist who may or may not be utterly nuts; Hera, one of the most sardonic artificial intelligences in audio fiction; and Doug Eiffel, the lazy-but-lovable communications officer (and narrator).Join me as I play Episode 10 of Wolf 359 - “Extreme Danger Bug” - and then sit down with Emma Sherr-Ziarko and Zach Valenti, two of the show’s stars. It’s sure to be a wild ride.

This week, we take a trip to the drizzly English village of Piffling Vale, where undertaker Rudyard Funn discovers he's no longer the only mortician in town in Episode 1 of the fabulous indie sitcom WOODEN OVERCOATS.Later in the show, I talk with David K. Barnes and Andy Goddard, the head writer and co-producer of WOODEN OVERCOATS. Fun is had, velvet is worn, and we all learn a valuable lesson about Sitcom Theory.The post Episode 431 – Wooden Overcoats – David K. Barnes and Andy Goddard appeared first on Radio Drama Revival.

This week:It's a non-stop carnival of freaky tiki madness as I chat with Rich Wentworth, the co-creator of Hadron Gospel Hour.Rich and I talk about glam rock, how he and co-creator Michael McQuilkin got started in audio drama, and whether or not everything is going to be okay (spoiler alert: it is going to be okay).Our feature this week is Season 1, Episode 8 of Hadron Gospel Hour: "HeadHatz and Horror Hosts".Mike brings a stylish new hat into the Hadron Bunker, but Oppenheimer is far too busy with his continuing education class to notice the sinister nature of his pal's new chapeau. Will Oppenheimer, A.S.H. LE and Cyrus be able to stop this menace in time? Or will the crew find themselves bowlered over? (S'aright? S'okay.)Enjoy, folks!-DavidThe post Episode 430 – Rich Wentworth and Hadron Gospel Hour! appeared first on Radio Drama Revival.

This week:Witchcraft!Charlatans!A Canadian plot to annex the United States?(!)David begins with a brief bit of history on John R. Brinkley, the notorious Goat Gland Doctor of Milford, Kansas. A bit of quackery seemed relevant given today's episode, which features an episode of Alba Salix, Royal Physician, a fantasy hospital comedy. The episode we're playing features an ethically dubious patent medicine.After the feature, David has a chat with Alba Salix show creator Eli McIlveen.Enjoy!Download Radio Drama Revival - Episode 428The post Episode 428 – An Appointment with Alba Salix, Royal Physician appeared first on Radio Drama Revival.

Well, how to say this.After 9 years, long-time RDR host Fred Greenhalgh passes the torch to incoming host David Rheinstrom. We take a moment to reflect on the amazing journey - 450 hours of entertainment! - in RDR's first nine years, and focus on the great state of current audio drama, and the future ahead of it.Why David? Well, David is a writer and game maker who was living in Chicago before the cool salt air of the Pacific was too alluring and he came out to Mountain View, CA, home of Google and their army of Schwinn bikes. He first got into radio theater in 2007, when he and two friends produced three original shows – Sky Pirates!, The Human Chord, and Simon Colt – with the KWUR Theater of the Air, their college radio theater company. For his day job, David works as a grammarian at an education nonprofit in the San Francisco Bay area. Prior to coming on board with Radio Drama Revival, David was assistant sound editor, writer, and producer with the cult-hit post-apocalyptic podcast Our Fair City.What's Fred off to next? All sorts of things, some of which are revealed in this podcast. This is definitely not the end!Download Radio Drama Revival - Episode 427The post Episode 427 – Changing of the Guard appeared first on Radio Drama Revival.
