There are multiple ways to listen at RadioDork.com Somehow I missed this one last year. Maybe this is the first year he’s been listed in Shoutcast. Last year was lazy – I didn’t do in-depth research, mainly stuck to searching Shoutcast, Live365, etc.. This station is the project of one man – namely Clay Roe. He…
Read More Dead Air 98.3 FMI have listened to 20 episodes of this – then again with my wife – and haven’t jotted down a single note about it. But I can’t. stop. listening. It’s great. It’s endless fun. No serious story here – just lots and lots of fun. I won’t even say it’s hilarious, though it is certainly…
Read More King Falls AM | 2015, Ongoing | Make Believe Picture CompanyNote – I’ve been trying to have people’s names in the title but try Googling this production and you’ll find all kinds of somewhat conflicting information about who exactly was behind it. Adapted by John Reeves? Or is his name John Reed? Karl or Carl Schmidt directed. But all sources I read agreed that it…
Read More A Canticle for Leibowitz | 1981 | WHA Radio/Wisconsin Public RadioI’ve spent the last month listening to this, in its entirety, for the second time. This is one of my favorite long-form audio productions I’ve ever heard, alongside Earthsearch, A Canticle for Leibowitz, and We’re Alive. The story, characters, and acting help me see past the production design and quality issues, most of which are…
Read More Second Shift | 2006-2011 | Andrea Shubert, Blue Sky Red EntertainmentWow, this one is tough. I adored it but its faults are obvious. Though, its failings are only due to the limitations of what I assume was a practically nonexistent budget and lack of experience of the creators. I’ll say first that the writing is excellent. I loved every minute in the hour of this…
Read More Batman – Breakdown | 2012 | Gonzo Planet | Alex Shaw & David HartrickEpic, beautiful, brilliant – this is audio theater. I listened to the twenty episodes – the original ten and the sequel series. The BBC of yesteryear can apparently do no wrong. The production was minimal, well acted, well written, nearly perfect sound design (uh, why no footsteps when people walk?), flawless pacing, huge scope of…
Read More EarthsearchI finally finished We’re Alive (werealive.com) and I can say unequivocally it’s the best long-form‪ audio theater I’ve ever heard. It’s more like a novel than a TV show. It assumes you’re invested and takes its time developing characters and such, rather than trying to thrill you every episode. This is no Walking Dead – this…
