  • The Turn Out
    Duration: 12:12 Size: 5.7M

    Back in 2004 we did a show at Stone Mountain Park called "Frontier Days".  We got a lot of great new material out of it because the theme of the festival was Georgia between the Revolutionary War and the Civil War...not exactly a haven for our usual SF and Fantasy stuff.  We also performed it outdoors...predictably, it rained.  But we still got a good show, and we're bringing it to you in installments.

    This time we bring you The Turn Out by Augustus Baldwin Longstreet, adapted for audio by Daniel Taylor.  It takes place at Easter, which we missed by about a month, but it also deals with school, and with school about to let out for summer, we thought this would still be a good time to trot this out.

    Don't live in Atlanta but want to see us live?  ARTC will next appear at the Heinlein Centennial in Kansas City, MO, where we will present All You Zombies... and The Menace From Earth, both by Robert A. Heinlein, as well as a few other surprises yet to be determined.

    If you're enjoying this weekly foray into the soundscape, please remember that ARTC is supported entirely by people like you through the sale of our studio work on CD.  Stop by www.artc.org and round out your collection, or just let us know what you think by emailing us at [email protected].

    Thanks for listening, we'll be back next week, and remember...

  • Country of the Blind, Part One

    Duration 18m 18s

    File Size: 12.5 M

    This is the first installment of The Country of the Blind, by H.G. Wells, adapted for audio by Daniel Taylor.

    Visit us at www.artc.org to learn about our live shows, and browse our product catalog.

     

    Correction:

    The original show notes credited Victor Koman for the audio adaptation of "Country of the Blind." In actuality, Daniel Taylor gets the credit. Victor Koman did the adaptation of Heinlein's "All you Zombies," which is previewed in this episode. Sorry, Daniel.

  • Conclusions
    Duration: 18:40, Size: 8.7M

    Everything must come to an end.  And so it goes with the serial we've been bringing you for the last three weeks, "The Adventures of the Crimson Hawk: The Crimson and the Red" by Thomas E. Fuller [EDIT 4-21: Whoops!  This episode was written by William Alan Ritch!].  This is the third and final installment in this particular saga, but there's plenty more where that came from.  We currently have almost twenty adventures of the Crimson Hawk, so if you like them be sure to let us know!  You can reach us at [email protected].

    Also this week we bring you an ARTC favorite, "Bumpers Crossroads: Hide, A Cow's Outside" by Daniel Taylor.  The last word on the end of a lot of bad jokes.  This was recorded live at the Gwinnett History Center back in 1999.

    And lest you forget that we have more recent work available, there's also a short sample from our studio release of Robert A. Heinlein's "The Menace From Earth".

    Want to be in on the recording of the source material for these podcasts?  Come on by to one of our live shows!  The next one will be April 28 and 29 at the Stage Door Players in Dunwoody.  Full details and directions at www.artc.org.  We'll be bringing you Robert A. Heinlein's "All You Zombies..." adapted by Victor Koman.

    Remember, we're supported entirely by people like you through the sale of our studio CDs, but you can also support us just by telling someone else about us.  Help us get the word out, because we can't do it without you!

  • Continuity
    Duration: 18:03  Size: 8.5M

    Hello again, and welcome to another ARTC podcast.  This week I've chosen to call the episode "Continuity" for a couple of reasons.  First, we'll be continuing the episode of "The Crimson Hawk" that we began last week by playing part two of "The Crimson and the Red" by Thomas E. Fuller [EDIT 4-21: Whoops!  This episode was written by William Alan Ritch!].  Next we'll bring you "Unresolved Mysteries, Solved While U Wait: A Very Special Creation" by Ron N. Butler, which, without giving too much away, deals with the continuity of the universe.

    Our next live show will be on April 28 at 8:00pm and April 29 at 2:30pm at the Stage Door Players in Dunwoody.  We will bring you Robert A. Heinlein's "All You Zombies..." adapted for audio by Victor Koman.  Come be a part of the live recording of this science fiction classic!

  • Heroes and Villains in the Big City
    Length: 18:52 Size: 9M

    Welcome again!  This week we bring you tales of Heroes and Villains in the Big City.  We begin with Thomas E. Fuller's "The Adventures of the Crimson Hawk: The Crimson and the Red" episode one  [EDIT 4-21: Whoops!  This episode was written by William Alan Ritch!].  This is a three part serial, so be sure to tell us how you like it at [email protected].  This was performed live at the coffeehouse in Little Five Points in Atlanta.  This is one of our older recordings, and we're not exactly sure what year, but it was pre-1996.

    Next up is Jonathan Strickland's "Mildly Exciting Tales of Astonishment: Subterranean Subterfuge" recorded live at Sci Fi Summer in 2005.

  • Dweller in the Depths - Part 2
    Duration: 17:32 Size: 8.25M

    St. Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland (but not on a plane...unless you mean a 2-dimensional surface...nevermind).  But did he miss one?  Just what is the Loch Ness Monster?  Assuming it even exists.

    Last week we brought you part one of The Dweller in the Depths, by Thomas E. Fuller, recorded live at Eddie's Attic in Decatur, GA.  This week we bring you part two of the story, but this performance was recorded at Stone Mountain Park in 2005.

    Did you like hearing the story broken up over two performances?  Would you like to hear more of the evolution of ARTC?  Or not?  Write to us at [email protected] and let us know!

  • Dweller in the Depths - Part 1
    Duration: 16:43 Size: 8M

    Ah, St. Patrick's Day.  Leprechauns, shamrocks, pots o' gold, and green things everywhere.  Well, everywhere except here.  We've just got lots of blarney because this week our podcast features a story set in that fabled land of...Scotland.

    This week: Part one of The Dweller in the Depths, by Thomas E. Fuller.  This episode was recorded live at Eddie's Attic in Decatur, GA back in 1997.  Next week we'll bring you part two of the story, but the performers will be a lot different because it will have been recorded at Stone Mountain Park in 2005.  We hope you'll hear how far we've come in those 8 years.

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.
