Radio Drama Revival episodes

  • Love and Luck - Episodes 1 to 3, with Co-Host Elena Fernández Collins
    Linguist, critic, and Bello Collective reviewer Elana Fernández Collins joins me to present Love and Luck, a magical epistolary romance from Australia. It's here, it's queer; it's DELIGHTFUL, and nobody dies. So settle in to a warm and happy bubble bath of a show in which two people fall in love and slowly discover they have magic powers. Then they open a cafe. Like, c'mon! How sweet is that?!

    You can find Ely's writing on the Bello Collective, or at her new audio drama newsletter, Audiodramatic. Check it out at Tinyletter.com/audiodramatic

  • The Mayan Crystal - 'The Crystal Keeper' & Interview with Fred Greenhalgh
    Do you want to hear a story? Of course you do! On this week's show, we're rejoined by Host-Alumnus Fred Greenhalgh to introduce his new show, The Mayan Crystal... a tale of adventure, sisterhood, anticolonialism, and magic, all taking place in modern-day Belize.

    Join us for an episode of the new show, and a chat with Fred wherein we discuss the mythic origins of this story, the need to expand representation in media, and the way in which we have redecorated our pretend RDR headquarters.

  • Join The Party! - 'Wedding Party VI'

    This week, we're playing an episode of the roleplaying podcast Join the Party, a hybrid actual-play and audio drama by some talented producers and performers out of New York. Gather round the table and get immersed in DM Eric's tale of the Concentric States. Inara, Johnny, and TR8C must be fleet of foot and quick of wit to catch up with the Red Throat gang, who have captured the beloved Prince Alonzo!

    Actual-play RPG podcasts have spiked in popularity recently, and I wanted to highlight a successful and compelling one. Join the Party uses collaborative storytelling and imaginative game mechanics to help produce something new, interesting, and exciting.

  • Bob Koester - 'Companions'
    Harry wanted to be alone, and so he was: as alone as a person can be, transmuted into tachyon particles and hurled into deepest space, with nothing but an artificial intelligence for company. He was alone, and then, gradually, he wasn't. Harry and his friend Cailyn, are commanders on distant power stations with nothing but their AIs and their correspondence for company. Harry and Cailyn receive an application that allows them to upload virtual surrogates of themselves so that they can communicate "in-person", and it's the connection forged via those surrogates that might just save the universe.

  • Earbud Theater - 'The Sounds Below'
    This week, we're featuring Earbud Theater's "The Sounds Below", a chilling tale about a man plagued by panic and sleeplessness. Chris, unable to shake the trauma of his brother's death in a car accident, is making no headway with his therapist, and one night he goes wandering into the city, stumbling upon a strange little shop. The shopkeeper claims she sells the cure for fear. Would you buy it?

  • Point Mystic - 'White Rabbit', Parts I and II
    This week, we're exploring Christopher Reynaga's Point Mystic, playing "White Rabbit, Parts I and II" from that show. Point Mystic is a fiction show done up in a narrative-nonfiction style, à la This American Life—it's about Christopher's family, and the spookiness of the town they inhabit. The White Rabbit cycle was created in collaboration with Christopher's wife, Marguerite Croft, and their son Fox—and all three of them act (quite ably) in the show.

    It's a fascinating mixture of nonfiction interviews and fiction segments, but presented in such a way that each supports the other, which isn't as common as you'd think.
