‘Nuff said. I had the incredible honor and pleasure of talking to Tom Lopez of ZBS about his days of audio collecting and producing, his latest efforts with short-form audio and the future of the form. Plus a few nuggets of “2 Minute Film Noir” tossed in for flavor.
Enjoy.
The crooning, jazzy journey of Jack Flanders wraps up this week in the riveting conclusion to “Do That in Real Life?” What will come of Jack’s bewitched lover? What happens to Petite Lafitte and the streetcar of skeletons? And, gosh darnit, what about them zombies?
Radio Drama Revival! Episode 68
Up for one week only! This will go offline May 9 so get it while it’s hot.
Jack’s adventures in New Orleans continue this week with a talk about zombies, and visits to a Voodoo Queen — a friend, not a foe… or at least so we think. Plus, Louis Lafitte goes on the ride of his life!
In the second part of the ZBS Foundation’s “Do That in Real Life,” Jack Flanders is taken deeper into the spooky and energy-ridden world of New Orleans’ back streets and the Voodoo queens who roam the city today. Plus, Louis Lafitte the littlest pirate begins a crazy journey!
Come on down, the gumbo’s good.
This week, Radio Drama Revival has the incredible honor of welcoming the ZBS Foundation to the show with a stellar adventure from the Traveling Jack series, Do That in Real Life?
Things get odd for cosmic tourist Jack Flanders as crazy zombie dreams haunt him and his friend Mojo Sam the Yoodoo Man invites him to the Big Easy, which, as we know, ain’t so big and sure ain’t easy… But beignets, piano players, Voodoo queens and zombies all give this land an energy like nowhere else.
Radio Drama Revival! Episode 65
Limited availability: This podcast will only be up until May 9, so get it while you can!
This week we beg for money, visit an eerie future and sit down for a chat with Sam Mowry of the Willamette Radio Workshop.
This week we take classic fairy tales and turn them on their heads with a compelling piece produced as part of the Willamette Radio Workshop’s Writer’s on the Air radio writing workshop help every summer. “Next Year’s Girl” tells about a small village held under the thumb of a beast which requires a yearly sacrifice of their young girls. But as one daring young girl finds out, there is beauty in the beast, and more beasts than one easily sees…
Alright, my friends, it’s time to zap into the future again, in a bizarre alternative world let’s pray to god doesn’t exist. Today Dick Dynamo is on the hunt for the killer of a trusted friend and his search takes him to the bowels of criminal animal fighting rings… and ends up with Dick himself sacrificing life, liberty, and several pints of blood to enact vengeance on the killer.
Sandwiched between two, er, “knock-out” episodes is an interview with the warped creators of the show.
Enjoy!
Well partner, it’s a sad story of that Seany Boy, but when Audio Gothic arrived in the mail a few weeks back thanks to the generosity of Roger Gregg, I couldn’t help but put my ears on it and reschedule everything to get it out on the show.
This tale, referred to cleverly in “The Salmon of Blackpool,” tells about an old Irish farmer who takes his dreams of being a cowboy a little too far.
Radio Drama Revival! Episode 61
And in other news, Henry Howard passed along this link to an interview with Roger on RTE1 — he gets to talk about the legacy of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and the latest dramatic reading of the show in memory of Douglas Adams.
The crazy world of Dick Dynamo enters this placid podcast with man-eating vegetarians and ham-fisted multi-dimensional goodness in a bizarre world of this podcast described by the inimitable Gregg Taylor as “Matt Helm and Roger Ramjet … meld[ed] into a single, slightly confused but cool being”
Enjoy.
