Interview with Julie Hoverson of 19 Nocturne Boulevard

Best when listened to with a crackling fire in the fireplace, wood stove, or other FDA-approved fire burning apparatus. Thanks to Kevin MacLeod for wonderful holiday music.

It was not a pretty day in Portland, Maine. And though I trolled around looking for Wifi connection in the middle of a severe ice storm, there was no internet to be found (just snapped tree limbs and downed powerlines, which, after we’d driven across a couple, we were told still might be dangerous and hold residual power… oops).

Power outages still persist, luckily I live off-grid and was happily generating my own power yesterday. Nothing better than to hole up in the house and listen to the gift of audio drama while cranking a fire in the wood stove, and it is my pleasure now to share with you another chunk of Shadow of the Bear.

Things are getting interesting with our two young maidens and their bear, though an annoying dwarf and a mystery the two heroines have yet to understand threaten them in ways they have yet to understand.

Here’s to episode 100!

Radio Drama Revival Episode One-Fricken-Hundred

This week we move from the world of the macabre to that of the fantastic, with a contemporary fairy-tale retelling by Chesterton Productions – The Shadow of the Bear.

Based on Regina Doman’s novel of the same name, this epic audio adventure follows two cultured sisters living in New York City as they encounter a mysterious stranger named “Bear” who becomes their friend, and unwitting entry into a dark mystery which they may not survive.

As ominous as that sounds, this is appropriate for all ages and MUCH lighter than the fare we’ve been covering since October.

Enjoy the first hour of about four-and-a-half. If you like it, do check out the affordably priced MP3 Download.

P.S. Episode 99 already? Holy Cow! Wish the cold meds didn’t have me sounded quite as dazed and confused for this one…
