Radio Drama Podcast - Modern Audio Theater Stories

In the action-packed climax of FinalRune’s tall tale, the Troll of Stony Brook, the troll and Jamie are on the run, desperately searching for a way out of civilization before dawn breaks. But the police are fast, houses are everywhere, and someone dammed up the brook.

Meanwhile, we hear some more installments from Tom Lopez’s excellent Fallen Angels that Bounce. What will happen when Little Leroy is set on the trail of Flo? Will Eddie be enough to save her? And what the heck is going to happen in New York with Flo’s evil alter ego?

FinalRune’s third installment of the Troll of Stony Brook introduces us to the troll – a fearless, man-eating creature for sure, but, um, not without a soft stop.

Sadly, humans just won’t leave him alone and the rough exterior shows up again.

After this next dose of audio delight we move on to Fallen Angels that Bounce, a serialized audio noir tale by ZBS featuring lush soundscapes of Rio de Janeiro and New York City.

Flo has a recurring dream of Rio that never goes anywhere – so Joe and Moe take it upon themselves to cook up a tale of a devilish twin sister, crooked gangsters, and dreams of Rio.

Meet a crazy kooky cast in a program which is unabashedly aware of its art form, showing off the wondrously imaginative and dreamlike possibilities of audio!

We follow up with two parts of ZBS’ steamy new show, Lady Windermere’s Brass Fantabulous, which you saw earlier in the YouTube form and with a really bad ass mug.

What utter joy this morning to open my mailbox and find a little gift from ZBS, one of their new, heavy-duty, industrial strength steampunk state of mind mugs:

Mm… delicious, organic green tea goodness.

This make seem passed the point of utter geekiness, but in my house we are serious mug fanatics and most of the hot-beverage vessels that pass through the door end up on their way to goodwill because they fail to meet the important criteria of superior lip feel, heat retention, heft and general sense of zen when sipping your morning brew.

My report is that the ZBS mug meets and exceeds all criteria and will have a honored space on my writing desk for years to come (no, I was not paid to say that, and you can buy the mug yourself here).

I also just ordered one of their spankin’ new Jack Flanders tees.  What can we say?  Things are steamy:

To whet your appetite for steaminess, here’s Landy Windemere’s Brass Fantabulous, episode 5, courtesy of YouTube. We’ll be featuring this production on the ‘pod soon:
