    The Asteroid of Love (written by Ron N Butler) originally contained a song of the same name, which was a parody of an Andrew Sisters song. Obviously, this was not podcast safe. For our February 2007 show, musician Alton Leonard composed a _new_ song to replace the parody. And he performed it here with the Android Sisters, and our guests for that show, the Radio Ramblers. Of which, he is a regular member.

    Announcer - Hal Wiedeman

  • The Brides of Dracula (Part 1 of 3)

    The Brides of Dracula, by Thomas E. Fuller.

    (presented in three parts.)

    Duration 21:27, File Size 14.9M

    Quite possibly one of the most ambitious ARTC projects, the February 2007 live performance at Stage Door Players required extra personnel: a stage/floor manager, 3 foley artists instead of the usual one or two, a second sound engineer and mixing board solely for the foley sound, and two people to manage the digital effects. Plus extra consideration for the Brides singing parts, and our guest musicians - another rare event.

    The outcome? Judge for yourself. Brides of Dracula was the featured story for this show, and comprised the entire post-intermission show.

    If you're really adventurous, try listening with headphonones...

  • The Passion of Frankenstein
    Length: 14:05  Size: 6.6M

    Hello again!

    This week, in honor of Fathers Day, we bring you selected scenes from The Passion of Frankenstein, by Thomas E. Fuller.  It's going to be a little different this week, though.  We're going to feature some scenes, but we're also going to highlight a little bit of what goes into creating the audio drama that we all know and love.  We'll take a few short clips from the raw voiceover and then transform them with music and sound effects into new old-time radio.  Whereas we normally bring you material from our live productions, the source for this material comes from the studio.

    Speaking of the studio, ARTC is supported entirely by people like you through the sale of our studio productions on CD.  Visit www.artc.org to see our wide selection of work by HP Lovecraft, Robert A. Heinlein, HG Wells, as well as original material by our own in-house writers, including The Passion of Frankenstein.

    Or just tell someone about us.  Supporting ARTC means spreading the word about New Old-Time Radio and it doesn't cost you a cent.  Just point them in the direction of our website or this podcast.  Nothing could be simpler or more helpful.

    Our next live appearance will be at the Heinlein Centennial convention in Kansas City, MO, on July 7 and 8, followed by a celebration of the release of the final Harry Potter book at the Barnes and Noble near Perimeter Mall right here in Atlanta on July 20.

    If you are enjoying these podcasts please remember that we need to hear from you so that we can improve.  Tell us what you like.  Tell us what you don't like.  Tell us your ideas.  We have a few of our own, but we want to bring you what you want to hear.  You can reach us at [email protected]

    As always, thank you for listening, and remember, There is Adventure in Sound!

  • Tales of Seduction. Or something.

    Duration: 15m53sec

    Size: 10.9M

    What can I say about this podcast? Well, it's the first sixteen minutes of a fairly recent live show: at StageDoor Players this past February (2007.) The underlying theme for this show was seduction. Originally it was supposed to have been Love, but due to scheduling difficulties, it wasn't performed in the theater until after St. Valentines Day.

    The opening music has been removed as it was not podcast safe, and there are a few other minor edits, but otherwise, the material presented is pretty much in the order that it was originally performed. Our host/announcer is Daniel Kiernan, who (upon reflection) *does* look a bit like Garrison Keillor.

  • Memorial Day part 2
    Length: 27:26  Size: 12.8M

    Last week we celebrated the upcoming Memorial Day holiday with a few timely pieces, and this week we conclude that celebration with a wonderful piece entitled Unaccustomed to Fear, written by Terry Quinn, performed at Stone Mountain Park's Memorial Hall on May 29, 2005.

    Unaccustomed to Fear was originally performed at the National Audio Theatre Festivals audio theatre workshop in June of 2002 and it made quite an impression on me.  When an opportunity for us to perform at Stone Mountain on the Memorial Day weekend, I knew this was the perfect piece for us to bring to our audience.  I contacted the author and was luckily able to negotiate the rights to perform it again.  Unfortunately I was not able to reprise my role as the narrator as my cousin was getting married in Boston at the time.  The story is based on true events and we hope you enjoy it.

    If you ARE enjoying these podcasts please remember two things.  First, we need to hear from you so that we can improve.  Tell us what you like.  Tell us what you don't like.  Tell us your ideas.  We have a few of our own, but we want to bring you what you want to hear.  You can reach us at [email protected]

    Second, ARTC is supported entirely by people like you through the sale of our studio productions on CD.  Visit www.artc.org to see our wide selection of work by HP Lovecraft, Robert A. Heinlein, HG Wells, as well as original material by our own in-house writers.  Or just tell someone about us.  Supporting ARTC means spreading the word about New Old-Time Radio and it doesn't cost you a cent.  Just point them in the direction of our website or this podcast.  Nothing could be simpler or more helpful.

  • Memorial Day
    Duration: 19:19 Size 9M

    On Sunday, May 29, 2005 ARTC performed a tribute to heroes at Stone Mountain Park's Memorial Hall.

    This week we bring you a portion of that show.  We begin with Bumpers Crossroads: Grandma's Diary by Daniel Taylor and proceed to Chief Burnley's History Lesson by Ron N. Butler.

    If you like this podcast and would like for it to continue, please remember that ARTC is supported entirely by people like you through the sale of our studio productions on CD.  Visit our website at www.artc.org and hear what we have to offer.

    But also remember that buying stuff isn't the only way to support us.  Doing something as simple as telling people about our podcast goes a long way towards helping us towards our goal of revitalizing New Old-Time Radio.

    Our next live performance will be at the Heinlein Centennial convention in Kansas City, MO, where we will bring you All You Zombies... and The Menace From Earth, both by Robert A. Heinlein, as well as a few other surprises.

    Thanks for listening.  If you have questions, comments, or concerns, please address them to [email protected] or just leave a comment on this blog.  We have exciting things planned for the podcast in the future, so stay tuned and remember...

About Centauri Express Audio Magazine

From the publisher's feed

Since 1984, the Atlanta Radio Theatre Company has been performing, recording, and broadcasting dramatic audio -- fully dramatized, fully sound-scaped audio drama. We like to think that what we do is classic "old-time radio", as it would sound with today's technology and dramatic techniques. From our archives, we proudly present the recordings of our live performances.
