Recorded at Camp Will-A-Way inside Ft Yargo State Park. This was one of my favorite shows, because the audience was especially appreciative, and I think that adds to a performance as much as anything else. Also, we performed outside and it didn't rain, which is always a plus.

We also got a nice introduction from Annie Maxwell, which I have included.

This week's shows:

Rory Rammer, Space Marshall in "The Lance of Justice."

and

Time for Station Identification.

Ah, the ever-popular technical difficulties, how we do love thee.

So if you read the post that was previously in this spot you are expecting another episode of "Rory Rammer, Space Marshal".  Unfortunately we're having to push that back a bit, so look for it next week.  Sorry.

In the meantime, we bring you this.

In May of 2004 we were invited to perform at Stone Mountain Park's Frontier Days Festival.  We eagerly accepted the opportunity...and then learned that the theme was Georgia between the Revolutionary War and the Civil War.  With our specialties being in the area of science fiction, fantasy, and horror...well, our selection of available material was a bit thin.

But our writers rose to the challenge and wrote us 11 new scripts, including rehearsals and rewrites, in about three months.  It was an exciting time and we got some great new material out of it.  Today we bring you a bit of historical bridging, "A Sage Conversation" by Augustus Baldwin Longstreet, "A Feast at Sycamore Grove" by Bill Arp, and we finish with "The Triumph of Natural Justice" by Ron N. Butler.

Oh, and we performed it outdoors on the Plantation Grounds, which just goes to prove that we can do a show just about anywhere.

This program was recorded live at the Sandy Springs Public Library on Saturday, November 9, 2002 at 2:00pm.  Four years ago today we presented a selection of short subjects including Rory Rammer: The Last Vampire, Philip Meow-Lowe, PI, both by Ron N. Butler, and An Arkham Home Companion by Brad Strickland.  We also included a taste of the history of radio drama and a short sound effects demonstration.

In previous podcasts we presented fragments of shows, but this episode features the entire performance just as it exists in our archives.  We hope you enjoy it.

You say you can't get enough Trick or Treating? You say that you spent most of October looking for TV special with the "Round-Headed Kid" on DVD? You say haven't slept for 48 hours because of the insane sugar rush? Is that's what's troubling you, Pilgrim? 

Seriously though. We have two shows from Into the Labyrinth 2005: Farm Report of the Worlds by Brad Strickland and Penny Dreadful, by Kelly Swilley

Farm Report of the Worlds: Imagine you're waking up to AM Radio... the morning *after* the night that H.G. Wells' Martians attacked.

Penny Dreadful: And what happens when a lost book by an unknown author suddenly and mysteriously appears on a library shelf?

 

 

Time: 28:19 File size: 12.97M

Performed live at Sci Fi Summer 2005, so controversial that it had its own late night time slot, and so funny that we just couldn't keep it to ourselves.

ARTC presents the Brotherhood of Damn Sassy Mutants, episode 2: Miss Rorschach if You're Nasty by "Sketch" Quinn.

I hope you're enjoying the podcasts so far. Keep checking back for news on upcoming shows. There's some interesting developments in the works. We're just negotiating with the authors for the rights....

 

Anyway, if you like the shows but don't know where to look for more like them, may I suggest www.dramapod.com? This is a directory for podcasts that feature audio dramas only.   

I hope you find something you like, but also, please come back to us. While you're surfing, why not go to your podcather's website (be it iTunes, podcast pickle, podcast alley... the list goes on) and vote for us. We'd appreciate the show of support, and any comments you'd like to leave.

Thanks again,

"Guerrilla Radio Theater" was commissioned by the Fellowship of Reason (www.fellowshipofreason.com) and perfomed at Manuel's Tavern in Atlanta on March 19, 2003.  "Guerrilla" could (but oddly enough doesn't) refer to ARTC's ability to set up a live studio complete with foley, amplifiers, BIG speakers, a dozen microphones, mixers, samplers, keyboards and digital recording equipment anywhere in under two hours, perform and then tear down in another hour.  ARTC has performed in coffee houses, churches, outdoor pavilions, hotel ballrooms, stages and bars.  If there's empty space and room for an audience, ARTC has probably performed in it. It reminds some people of either the Normandy Landing or dozens of clowns emerging from the little car at the circus....

The entire "Guerrilla Radio Theater" program is one hour and includes many other pieces.  We have limited our selections for this podcast to twenty minutes and, therefore, much of the original program is not included.

The pieces are comic satire and include:

"SWATting the Books" by Ron N. Butler - "Sovereign Immunity and Your local public library...."
"NOSINET" by Daniel Taylor - "What your banker knows about you......"
"Inhuman Rights" by Ron N. Butler - "Dodos is good eatin......"
"The Shape of Things to Come" by Daniel Taylor - "Technology and the single girl...."

A few years ago ARTC had an opportunity to perform a Halloween show for the public.  We try to perform in October whenever possible as it is a month especially suited to our horror and science fiction roots.  Our forte has always been conventions and other semi-private events where our time slot was somewhat limited and so we usually only had time for one feature piece, or maybe a series of shorts.  We always performed them just once.

But when you perform for the public you sometimes have the opportunity to repeat a show or even...dare I say it...have a run of a show.  Furthermore, we were able to expand the time slot to include the series of shorts and the feature piece.  Faced with the prospect of having more material to work with than usual and the fact that very few people had heard of any of our work at the time (outside of our loyal fans...hi, everybody) we felt the need to choose a marketable title for the overall show.  We found one in our own catalog.

Into the Labyrinth was (and is) our in-house imprint for original horror and dark fantasy.  It was one of our first, along with the audio magazine The Centauri Express, and the introduction about the "simple garden maze", masterfully presented by William Brown, appears on a number of our studio productions.  It seemed appropriate to use the title to help promote our live show of similar material.

As our podcast continues, you will hear many excerpts from various Into the Labyrinth shows.  We hope you enjoy them all.  This week features Mildly Exciting Tales of Astonishment: Sweet Revenge and Nikki's Place: The Collectors.

There is Adventure in Sound!

ARTC presents:

1. Bumper's Crossroads: Bradbury's Funeral Home, Ron N. Butler

Welcome, everyone, to the Atlanta Radio Theatre Company podcast.  It's been a long time coming, but we're finally ready to get this show on the road.

Since 1984 ARTC has been producing quality audio drama.  I don't recall when our first live performance was, but we've been doing them for a nice long time now and we've got a fairly substantial backlog of recordings.  Some of the older ones don't have the best sound quality, but we were just learning after all, and we've gotten a lot better.

You can find us here at podcast.artc.org. Be sure to tell all your friends.

So sit back, relax, and prepare to enter the world of your own imagination through the Magic of Radio.
