Radio Drama Revival

This month, Wil Williams and Matt Boudreau scare the crap out of David by forcing him to confront the thrills, the chills, the edge of your seat nail-biting joys of Halloween? Will he survive this week's presentation of the first two episodes of the eerie and haunting Palimpsest? Well, yes. Somebody had to read the credits. Listen in!http://www.thepalimpsestpodcast.com/

Can an apolitical story still have artistic value? Do stakes need to do be the driver of good storytelling? Ponder these questions and more as David interviews Jules and James creator, Jennifer Schwed on this week's episode of Radio Drama Revival.

David is ill! But that doesn't stop our intrepid hosting hero from bringing you a little romance with this week's feature, Jules and James from 4th Wall Productions.http://meetjulesandjames.com/

This week: we've got Dan and Erik, two of the three Amity Bros behind Marsfall on the show today to talk about inspiration, craft, performance, and SPACE.

Join me in the dread blackness of space, won’t you, friends, as we hurtle through the cosmos till we at last make land, till we at last… make MARSFALL.It's a science fiction dreadnought, this one: fantastic writing, heartwrenching acting, and absolutely stellar music and sound design. Pun not intended; it's legitimately all incredible.ENJOY!http://patreon.com/marsfallpodcast

Something’s afoot in Even Greater London, a nightmarish victorian metropolis that stretches from Wales all the way to the Isle of Man. Queen Victoria, having survived numerous assassination attempts, has been biotically welded to poor Prince Albert. And the great black Tower of London beams wireless electricity throughout the great city, providing everyone with limitless free energy but somehow in no way reducing their immiseration. If you enjoy Victoriocity as much as we do, consider supporting their work! Learn more about how to support Radio Drama Revival on our website

This week we received a mysterious submission from a mysterious stranger who only identified themselves as Icewater. Was it a dead-drop? Are we spies now? ARE YOU?!Who knows, and who cares! Utopia is a fascinating new project that takes place in an alternate timeline that diverged from ours shortly after the first World War; the entire planet is now unified under a single government, everyone speaks Esperanto, and there's money and services sufficient to give everyone plenty of leisure time.So why would anyone ever want out?Our protagonist, Glacio, explores an ineffable well of discontentment within himself as we play episode 1 of Utopia: "Gladness".

This week, David interviews Gannon Reedy about the origins of NeoScum, the '80s revival, and how long-form improv informs the show.

David plays NeoScum, the actual play podcast from The One Shot Podcast team.

This week, David talks all things Station to Station with Alex Yun and Andrea Klassen of the Procyon Podcast Network!

David is back! And he's married! And he's bringing you Station to Station, a fantastic new audio drama from the Procyon Podcast network, creators of The Strange Case of Starship Iris and Under Pressure.

Drunken first impressions and telling facts with fiction! Join David as he interviews Hostile Worlds creators Matthew McLean and Colin Gray!

Guest host James Oliva (Definitely James Oliva) sits in for David as we explore the universe with The Podcast Host's Hostile Worlds

This week, David speaks with Beth Eyre and Felix Trench about all things Wooden Overcoats! They discuss how they met, first memories of the show, the role of (and the search for a better name for) the "straight man", attitudes to death, and Beth's other projects.

Piffling's least favorite undertaker, Rudyard Funn, takes to the woods for an unorthodox funeral in this episode of the delightful British sitcom Wooden Overcoats. Their latest season digs deeper into the lives of their oddball characters, and it's even more hilarious—and more poignant—than ever. This week, we bring you Episode 3: "Rudyard Takes a Hike".And stay tuned: next week, David chats with Rudyard and Antigone themselves, Felix Trench and Beth Eyre!

David talks story evolution, social commentary and unreliable narrators with Gabriel Urbina and Sarah Shachat from Wolf 359.

This is one of my favorite episodes of any audio drama.It encompasses everything I love about Wolf 359: its pacing, its plotting, its deep humanism, and its fantastic writing, music, and performances. Like all great science fiction, it is about more than just its text—and I think that's what attracted me to this episode.I'll be talking to Gabriel Urbina and Sarah Shachat, the two main writers behind Wolf 359, next week -- and so to prep for that, I wanted to revisit an old favorite.This episode falls in Season 3 of Wolf 359, so while I think it's a successful standalone (and I provide more context in the episode itself), you should certainly feel free to dive into the series and start from the beginning. I promise it's worth it.What does "Memoria" represent to you? Let me know what you think; hit us up in the comments or talk at us on Twitter; we're @radiodrama.

I sat down with Matt Roi Berger, Jonathan Goldberg, and Marcus Bagala of The Fall of the House of Sunshine to discuss craft, prog rock albums, President Harding fighting a walrus, and, of course, teeth.

A struggle between flesh and fuzz. A mad emperor, cackling atop a grand pyramid of his own creation. A band of fleshy rebels with moxie, verve, and puffy-paint! It's an ass-kicking, name-taking space-age rock musical, back for more: this time it's even weirder.YUP oh man oh man it's The Fall of the House of Sunshine, Season II: DAYS OF FUTURE FUZZ.If you loved the previous utterly wackadoo sampling from this show, I think you're going to love Season 2 even more.You don't need to have listened to the first season to make sense of the second. Suffice it to say that there was a sinister plot to detonate the fuzzatronic bomb—an arcane weapon that turned everything into fuzzy puppets and stuffed animals. Well. Almost everything.There's a very fun guest star in this episode, to boot!ENJOY, and stick around for next week's show, an interview with some of the creative dynamos behind this project!
