Episode 200 – Leonard Allen Wants to Have it Your Way

Mask of Innana Radio DramaHoly crap! It’s episode 200! After nearly 4 years of radio drama podcasting we hit another round of triple digits. A pretty cool milestone and a great program to share to celebrate.

We’re featuring another installment of The Mask of Innana, an original mystery series by the Post Meridian Players who you probably have heard about through their live shows in the Boston area.

The Mask of Innana, I’ve learned, was inspired in part but the uncompromisingly creepy Nightfall series which aired on the CBC (Innana series creator Neil Marsh, in fact, created the best online resource for the show out there).

Like a The show follows aging radio star Leonard Allen, whose series After Dark ended abruptly after a betrayal from a trusted friend. Now, years later, a stranger comes offering Allen a most unusual role.

Episode 182 – More Trolling and Fallen Angels

ZBS and FinalRune MashupFinalRune’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!

Episode 169 – Another Taste of Wormwood, Past the Crossroads

Wormwood Audio Serial MysteryWow, over 100 episodes ago we featured Wormwood, what was then a promising new audio suspense series set in the odd backwater town of Wormwood that had some weird taste of the occult.

Since that time, the creators of Wormwood have delivered with a stunning first and second season, and now a three-part third season that explores backwards, sideways, and finally forward through the Wormwood universe.

We revisit the epic audio serial Wormwood, by talking with creators David Accampo and Jeremy Rogers about their experience creating and marketing the series these years… and what might happen in their lives now that Wormwood will reach its climax after nearly four years in the making.

But first! An episode from Season 2 of the series, about the curious miscreant known as “Albatross.”
