Episode 246 – Hamelin Haus

Thanks for joining us for another new show of audio drama!  This time, we take a look at some traditional tales with a twist from the family-friendly collection of audio dramas produced by Aural Traditions.

Based in Charleston, SC, Aural Traditions has a strong focus on being a platform for writers, voice actors and audio editors/sound designers to share their skills.  The strong local theatre and performance presence makes for a great avenue for local involvement in all aspects of their productions.  Their anthology format allows for flexability for both writers and actors, and they recently held a Writer’s Workshop for Audio Drama in Charleston as part of their mission.  A great example of that local connection is in one of the two stories you’ll hear this episode, in “Candy Haus“.  The second, “Pied Piper of Hamelin“, reaches into the world of satellite audio drama, with story ideas and casting coming from across the great wide internet.

Aural Traditions also has two miniseries to choose from as well if the anthology approach doesn’t appeal to you – they include “Crosswired” and “Candle Store Mysteries”, with plans for a retelling of Robin Hood as a miniseries sometime in 2018.  Their storytelling is unique, and their retelling of traditional fairytales, stories and fables are charming and a joy to listen to.  We hope you like these stories as much as we did!
