Well, just because you exist in a place where human law is not even understood, does NOT mean that human activity doesn’t take place… as evidenced by the wild turns taken in the conclusion of this postmodern play.
Enjoy!
Welcome to the Weeks of Wireless! For a good month or so now, we’re going to be featuring the work of the Wireless Theatre Company whose work ranges from the comedic to the dramatic, poetic and a great deal of stories in between… This week, we kick off with “Bastion West on the Information Superhighway,” a story about humans caught in a non-human environment, and the behavior that comes from existing in a place with no moral compass, and no source of escape…
In another “Rabbit from the hat” episode, I pull out an amazingly clever and poignant tale from Roger Gregg’s Audio Gothic series — Brad’s Book of Lies. What IS it about advertising that makes THE BOOK so good?
Find out today…
‘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.

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.

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…
