Radio Drama Podcast - Modern Audio Theater Stories

We continue with Crazy Dog Audio Theater’s series The Last Harbinger, the chilling and darkly satirical story of Moloch by Roger Gregg.

Clickety-clack, no going back – is the sound of a train headed nowhere at a ferocious speed.  The Harbinger brings a message of hope to the people of Moloch… but the people would rather have fat reductions and televised healings.  The government closes in to reach the only verdict they can even as it becomes clear there’s not much time left.

Part 4 of 5.

Hey would-be sound designers! Educational – and quite funny – video on creating dragon sound effects by Paeter of Spirit Blade Productions (who we featured last January)

This is great stuff, if you’ve heard Spirit Blade you know he always has top notch sounds, and as you can tell from the pics of his recording setup, he’s one of us working in a well supplied home studio (no ProTools HD rigs here!)

This week we’re back in the Crazy Dog saddle with a double headed from the series The Last Harbinger, the chilling and darkly satirical story of Moloch by Roger Gregg.

In the land of Moloch, an outsider comes from another dimension bringing the hope of saving a dying world… Which the Molochians respond to by trying to kill the guy. Luckily, the old beggar Beng is on this guy’s side, even as it becomes clear that there’s not much time left. Parts 2 and 3 of 5.

Eek! Friday the 13th here on the show and zombies have laid siege on our previously scheduled programming…

Yep, it’s a feature of We’re Alive: A Story of Survival again – this time with a mega episode with the full hour+ finale from season one and teasers from the forthcoming season two. We speak with director/writer Kc Wayland and then get right into the mad zombie action.

Enjoy!

Via Jeff Adams at Sound Stages Radio:

Sounds for Soldiers, the project by audio theater producers all over the world to send 10,000 MP3 CD’s to men and women serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, continues to inch upward on the Pepsi Refresh project.

To remind everyone, that’s a grant Pepsi pays out to worthy causes IF they are voted in the top-ten of their category in an online poll. Everyone can vote once a day, either on the Pepsi Refresh site or by texting the number 101175 to the text number 73774.

Early in the week, we were at 184th. Then we jumped to 87th. Yesterday, we were 79th, and today we’ve climbed to 75th. That means were heading in the right direction, but going pretty slowly. The voting continues until August 31st.

Remember, this is not a “I’ll get there next week and vote,” thing – it’s a “I’ll go their EVERY DAY and vote thing.” Do it at breakfast, do it at dinner, do it as you sit down to surf the web in the evening, just do it! And the other thing? Tell your friends. Forward this message to your email list. Let everyone know.

This idea was originally put forth by veterans who told us men and women serving in forward areas depend on iPods to relax in the middle of the impossibility of combat. That’s the idea, helping the people who are helping us in a very small way.

Now you can donate from your own pocket at http://www.sounds4soldiers.org, but if you don’t want to give money, just vote daily in the Pepsi refresh project. Thanks for your time.

This is a very worthy cause, so cast your votes now!

This week we feature two more delicious bits of audio – a new original five-minute audio short by FinalRune Productions called “The War on Poverty.” After so many successful wars on ideologies, America decides to fight its most entrenched evil – poverty.

Followed by a redux of The Last Harbinger, the chilling and darkly satirical story of Moloch by Roger Gregg. In light of all the madness in our world today, it seemed about time to feature the show again. Part 1 of 5.
