Who’s ready for more adventures in some out-of-this world locales? In Victoriocity, writers Chris and Jen Sugden share a story that reaches back to 2010 in its production.  The tale of Even Greater London instills the Victorian Era with a significant advance in science and technology, while keeping a strong sense of imagination and tongue-in-cheek humor, especially in our good detective Inspector Fleet.  Victoriocity is a wonderful romp of noir, mystery and comedy that’s sure to amuse. On the other side of the galaxy, the story of Lone Star Planet is a Ron N. Butler adaption of the novel, written by H. Beam Piper. It’s a story of true WesternRead More →

Can’t get enough of theseRead More →

Too many audio dramas!  No time to talk!  We couldn’t fit it in! For better or worse, you don’t have to hear any babbling from our host this show – these installments of “Starship Iris” and “Lone Star Planet” are so close, we barely got the story credits in. So we’ll keep this post short and sweet too – enjoy Starship Iris, Episode 4: “Phone Home” from Jessica Best and Procyon Podcasts,  and Lone Star Planet,  Episode 3: “Malum Prohibitum” from Atlanta Radio Theatre Company.   Don’t Forget to Check Out: – The Strange Case of Starship Iris – The Atlanta Radio Theatre Company – LoneRead More →

We hardly had anything to say this show!  This show was so packed with story time that we hardly got a few sentences in.  But what is there to know other than the exciting tales that lie ahead?  We begin our hour with Episode 3 of Starship Iris, entitled “In The Deep”, followed by the second chapter of the saga of Ambassador Silk in “Lone Star Planet” from Atlanta Radio Theatre Company. Unfortunately next week is the last night for sharing Starship Iris on our show, so be sure to check out their webpage for more information or support them through Patreon as they continueRead More →

Hi folks!  This show we shared a full hour of the Atlanta Radio Theatre Company in a special-crafted full hour of “ARTC Presents”, which they made available through PRX.  There’s a great variety of stories here from their series Into the Labyrinth, which include “Time for Station Identification”, “Our Fair City”, “Philip Meow-Lowe, PI” and “Wiki-history”, all recorded from live performances of the pieces.  And I do mean a full hour – which is good for this sinus-infection-weary host.  It’s a night of the unknown, with time travel with and without a time machine in “The More Things Change“.  Enjoy!   Don’t Forget to Check Out:Read More →
