The Long Road: Red Butte Run

podcast@artc.org — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT

Welcome back! The hiatus is over! ...sort of.

After over six months of being off the air the Atlanta Radio Theatre Company is bringing its podcast back on a monthly schedule. Why monthly? Because we're still not done with the archiving, but we couldn't bear to be away any longer. How long will the monthly updating last? We'll have to see.

Thanks so much to everyone who has hung in there. For now we're going to shoot for the second Thursday of every month by 8pm and in between I'll try to report any news that may be of note.

Remember, ARTC is supported by people like you through the sale of our studio productions. Order by mail through www.artc.org or make it easy on yourself and us by downloading from audible.com or iTunes.

A quick note about iTunes: For some reason you can't search for us by our name, you have to search by title or author. So make www.artc.org your first stop to make your selection, then scoot on over to iTunes for the download. You'll also find audio samples and trailers there, so it's well worth your visit.

New podcast tomorrow!

Podcasting update

podcast@artc.org — Tue, 3 Jun 2008 20:43:00 GMT

Hello, everyone in podcastland!

The hiatus, unfortunately, continues unabated. But progress is being made. If you remember from the last post, part of the process we're going through is editing the raw tracks from the DAT to make them sound as good as possible. We've recruited an additional editor to help us with that, so that should speed things up a little.

By the way, if anybody knows anybody else who would like to work with something like this, just let us know at podcast@artc.org. We can send you all the information about the recordings and what we'd like done to them and we'd very much appreciate the help.

We appreciate everyone's patience while we continue this process. I check the stats here on the podcast periodically and it's always gratifying to see the numbers still going up...even when we're not updating, we're still finding new people who enjoy New Old-Time Radio. And don't forget that we still like to hear from you. Let us know what you liked and didn't like in the old podcast and we'll be sure to keep those things in mind when we roll out the new one.

In the meantime, keep checking the website and don't forget about Audible.com. Great ways to make sure that the audio drama you love keeps coming.

There is Adventure in Sound!

Podcast update

Sun, 4 May 2008 23:55:00 GMT

Greetings, all.

First I'd like to thank you all for your patience as we continue the process of bringing the ARTC podcast back.

Second I'd like to ask you to be patient a little longer.

The archival process is complete...sort of. We've captured all the recordings from the original DAT files that we have on hand. There are a number of shows missing, but I'm not going to let that stand in the way of the podcast returning. Those shows can be found and dealt with as a separate project.

What we're doing now is a two-step process.
1) We're taking the raw DAT files and editing them. What typically happens with our live shows is that someone starts the recorder early so we don't forget and then it runs through the mic check and sometimes longer. We're cutting all that out. We're also removing intermissions and other dead air. And we're trying to fix other technical glitches when possible.
2) We're filling in the blanks on all the administrative information to do with these shows. Dates performed, times, cast and crew, scripts performed, authors, musicians, Foley artists, etc. Luckily most of this is included with the recorded credits.

Once we have both of those things then we'll be able to bring the podcast back in full force. Why didn't we do all that before we started? Good question...I think the answer is that we were too eager to get started and thought we could do both at the same time.

Thanks again everybody...we promise we haven't forgotten about you.

In the meantime, keep checking the website and don't forget about Audible.com. Great ways to make sure that the audio drama you love keeps coming.

ARTC Podcast update

Tue, 4 Mar 2008 14:51:00 GMT

Hey, folks, we're now entering the third month of the hiatus and I have no idea if anybody is still reading this, but I thought I'd give you an update on how things are going.

The archival process is proceeding as quickly as possible. This process involves taking DAT recordings and transferring them to the computer hard drive, which must be done in real time, and then those recordings can be evaluated and cleaned up a little. We are also making careful notes about which scripts were performed, who wrote them, whose voices were featured, and who the tech crew was. I just finished the recordings from 1993 and have started on 1994. Which should give you some idea of the scale of this project.

We're also experimenting with a few mailing list programs so we can move the list off of YahooGroups and onto our own server. If anybody has any suggestions for something that might be good, send them to podcast@artc.org.

We've also begun posting pictures of our live performances to our website. This is still in beta phase, but you can check them out if you like at www.artc.org/gallery2.

We appreciate everyone's patience while we sort this out.

There is Adventure in Sound!

Change of plans

podcast@artc.org — Wed, 6 Feb 2008 14:50:00 GMT

Hey, everybody, just a quick note about the podcast.

First of all, it's NOT dead. It's merely resting. We're streamlining our archiving process, making a few tough decisions, and listening to your feedback.

When will it be back? That's tough to say. ARTC is an all-volunteer organization, and so when paying work calls we must all answer and that pushes back timelines like woah. Ballpark estimate is within six months. Sooner if we can manage it, later if we can't. Don't delete your bookmarks or your RSS feed, keep checking back.

You can also keep current on all things ARTC by subscribing to our public email list. You can do that at www.artc.org. Currently it's powered by Yahoo Groups, although we're working on having that hosted on our own site, too. Feel free to go ahead and subscribe to the email list, though, and we'll let you know when the new system is ready. It's low-volume, but packed with cool stuff about audio drama.

I also want to thank those of you who wrote in with your feedback regarding the reasons why we went on hiatus in the first place. Those comments are at the forefront of why I'm stepping up the schedule to come back and they're also influencing our production schedule for new studio releases as well as our podcast programming. If anybody else wishes to sound off you can leave your comment here or you can write to us at podcast@artc.org.

So fear not. Things change, we grow, audio drama isn't going anywhere, and it'll be back before you know it.

There is Adventure in Sound!

Indefinite Hiatus

podcast@artc.org — Sun, 20 Jan 2008 20:33:00 GMT

Folks, just a very quick word to let you know where we've been lately.

The ARTC podcast is on an indefinite hiatus. The reasons for this are as follows:

1) The time. The ARTC podcast has been taking time away from other projects. After much deliberation, it has been decided to give that time back to those projects for the time being.
2) The cost. The ARTC podcast had two purposes when we envisioned it. The first was to expose a wider audience to audio drama, letting people know that it was still going on and letting people who had never heard of it know it existed in the first place. The second reason was to try to encourage sales of our studio recordings on CD or by download at Audible.com. A recent survey of our sales records has indicated that this second purpose is not being met. As much as we'd love to be able to give away our stuff for free all the time, it's just not possible right now.
3) The audience. You folks are great, but...well, I hate to say it, but there's not enough of you. If our weekly hits were triple what they are now I'd probably keep it going despite the time and expense, but they aren't.

Now the good news.
1) We do have plans to come back. Expect artcpodcast.org to disappear in the coming months and expect podcast.artc.org to redirect to our main website. This blog page will go away to be replaced by something completely different.
2) We are selecting a variety of our best recordings to allow folks to continue to find them on artc.org. Look for that soon.
3) We do have plans for new podcast content. We want to include the live performances, which we are very proud of since we're one of the only radio theatre groups in America who perform live at all, but we also want to have some podcast-only material. We have some serialized adventures we'd love to bring you and we also have another idea that I'm going to keep under wraps so someone else doesn't steal it...but it's really cool if I do say so myself. ;)

You can write to us at podcast AT artc DOT org if you have any comments about the hiatus, our previous work, or audio drama in general.

So anyway, thanks everybody for listening for this last year-plus. Remember, ARTC isn't going away. You can still buy our CDs at www.artc.org or download our material from Audible.com. You can also come see us live...our next show will be at the Stage Door Players in Dunwoody and we'll be bringing you The Man Who Traveled in Elephants by Robert A. Heinlein. That's going to be on Saturday, April 26 at 8:00pm and we'll have our special musical guest Juliana Finch!

An Atlanta Christmas - Episode 7

podcast@artc.org — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 02:00:00 GMT

Size: 6.7M Duration: 14:20

Welcome everyone to the last Christmas podcast of the year. We conclude the season with another very recent show, Sunday, December 23 to be exact. And we are proud to bring you a segment of An Atlanta Christmas that has never been presented before. "Civil War Triptych", written by Thomas E. Fuller, follows the Christmas stories of three characters, each with an entirely different situation and take on the season.

Again, technical reasons prevented me from including the performer's names in the audio, but they are Clair W. Kiernan, Veronica Byrd, and Jeff Montgomery. Assisting with the song at the end are Dawn Marie and Sarah Taylor. Special thanks to our performance coach, Doug Kaye.

We hope you've enjoyed our annual presentation of An Atlanta Christmas. We look forward to doing it again next year.

You can help make next year possible with your purchase of one of our CDs through www.artc.org or by download at Audible.com!

Let us know what you think at podcast@artc.org.

And, as we close the show, allow us to wish you Merry Christmas to all, and to y'all a good night.

There is Adventure in Sound!

A change in commenting

Sat, 22 Dec 2007 05:23:00 GMT

Hey, just to let everyone know, I've been forced to go to 'moderated comments' which means that if anyone posts a comment I have to approve it before it will be made visible to the public. Not a lot of folks are using the comments feature so far, but I hope they'll start.

You can blame your friendly neighborhood comment spammer for this change. Sixteen messages all at once tipped the balance.

Welcome, welcome one and all to our family Christmas! To every family Christmas that ever was or ever will be! Behold the traditional Christmas tree weighted down with ornaments and decorations! Every five year old's Christmas morning writ large and come true!

Welcome also to another repeat in our podcasting series. Some things are worth hearing again and this is a busy time of the year.

For one day a year, the Theater of the Mind gives way to a warm hearth and a bowl of gingerbread -- and when from the roof there arises a clatter, it's neither a faceless monster nor a Martian.

It's Christmas.

Christmas is memories. For the next 4 podcasts, ARTC will be bringing you some of our favorite memories from our holiday programming, drawing heavily from Thomas E. Fuller's An Atlanta Christmas, but with a few other surprises along the way.

Solution Unsatisfactory part 1

Duration: 18:57 Size: 8.8M

Back in 2001 we performed an adaptation of Robert A. Heinlein's Solution Unsatisfactory. As you might expect, we were very proud and excited to present a work by such a well-regarded author. And since it was written in 1941 we were already aware that Mr. Heinlein had seemingly seen the future of world events by predicting the use of atomic weapons, although in a different form.

Little did we realize how memorable this performance would become. Performed live on August 31, we planned studio time for September 12, 2001. Needless to say we moved this production up in the queue.

Guest starring in this production are Peter David and Lisa Getto.

Guards! Guards! part three

Size: 12M Duration: 25:56

Welcome to part three, the final chapter of our 2001 Dragon*Con performance of Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett, adapted for audio by David Benedict, featuring John Rhys-Davies as Lupine Wonse.

I hope everyone has been enjoying hearing this as much as I enjoyed adapting it. Being able to share it with a mass audience has brought back a lot of the enthusiasm I had when I was working on the project originally. I occasionally felt as though I were summoning dragons myself as I constructed them out of pure sound.

As part of this production, ARTC made a donation to the Orangutan Foundation International, an organization dedicated to the preservation of the orangutan and its natural habitat.

But the magic doesn't stop here, oh, no. Next week we'll be bringing you part one of Robert A. Heinlein's Solution Unsatisfactory, adapted for audio by Daniel Taylor, a story which has only gotten creepier in light of events over the past few years.

Guards! Guards! part 2

podcast@artc.org — Fri, 7 Sep 2007 00:00:00 GMT

Size: 11.5M Duration: 24:33

Welcome to part two of our 2001 Dragon*Con performance of Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett, adapted for audio by David Benedict, featuring John Rhys-Davies as Lupine Wonse.

As I mentioned last week, the adaptation for this production was particularly difficult. It is a full-length novel, rich with character development, humor, plots and subplots, and is considered by many to be a fine starting point for those wishing to get into the Discworld series. When compressing it down into an hour, most of that stuff had to go out the window. When we read the first draft it took over two hours and we didn't finish. That's when I knew I had my work cut out for me.

For those of you who have read the original book, I agonized over the scene with the prospective dragon hunters who were all complaining about how you don't get respect from monsters anymore and how one monster's mother actually came round to complain after he was killed and his head put up over the door. For those of you who haven't, don't think this adaptation even begins to cover the depth of this book. Read it.

Guards! Guards! part 1

podcast@artc.org — Fri, 31 Aug 2007 01:00:00 GMT

Size: 11.2M Duration: 23:57

Wow. It's hard to believe we've been podcasting now for one full year. Fifty two podcasts have come and gone and now we're starting on year two, and we're starting it with a really special one.

Back in 2001 we received permission to perform Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett at Dragon*Con. Furthermore, we were very priveleged to have John Rhys-Davies play the role of Lupine Wonse When the performance was over we thought that was it...a copy of the recording was sent to Mr. Pratchett, but other than that we thought it would remain locked in the vast, cavernous ARTC archive vault.

But then we started podcasting. And so I wrote to Mr. Pratchett and asked permission to distribute the recording and happily he agreed.

What you are about to hear, in three parts, is something I will always be proud of. I worked very hard on the adaptation, and believe me, cutting a novel-length book down to an hour is hard work, especially when you have an attachment to the material like I did.

I'd like to thank Mr. Terry Pratchett for permission to do the adaptation, performance, and the podcast. I'd also like to thank the late Thomas E. Fuller for his assistance with the adaptation. And I'd like to thank all of you for helping us reach one full year of podcasting, with hopefully many more to come.

First up, The Brotherhood of Damn Sassy Mutants in Episode One - "Flame Out", by "Sketch" MacQuinor.

Then, hold onto your dry-erase markers, as we bring you Mildly Exciting Tales of Astonishment - "A Consultation with Eeeeevil" by Jonathan Strickland.

Both of these were performed live at Sci-Fi Summer 2005.

The Brides of Dracula (Part 1 of 3)

Fri, 22 Jun 2007 00:29:00 GMT

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.

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.

Tales of Seduction. Or something.

Thu, 7 Jun 2007 14:00:00 GMT

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

podcast@artc.org — Fri, 1 Jun 2007 01:00:00 GMT

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.

The Turn Out

podcast@artc.org — Fri, 4 May 2007 01:00:00 GMT

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 podcast@artc.org.

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

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.

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 podcast@artc.org.

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!

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!

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 podcast@artc.org. 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

podcast@artc.org — Fri, 23 Mar 2007 01:00:00 GMT

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 podcast@artc.org and let us know!

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.

ARTCShow26 - A Bridge into the Past

Fri, 23 Feb 2007 02:37:00 GMT

Duration: 18:46 Size 8.59 MB

In the words of William Brown, "Due to technical problems beyond our control, we now join our regularly scheduled program."

This week's show is entitled "A Bridge into the Past." Why? Because I needed a name and that's what I came up with on short notice.

Bridge: Actually, one of the things you don't usually get to hear in our podcasts, Dear Listener, is the "bridging material." The short, often one-use scripts that ARTC producers insert into the live shows as buffers in between our more known stories. There is a small but healthy sampling included.

Past: This week's features are a little older than our normal fare. And like the bridging material, they are also things we don't usually podcast. ARTC has had many varied venues in its past. And veteran ARTC performers may (or may not) wax nostalgic about places such as "Eddie's Attic," or tip a mug of Collins Best Coffee in a remembrance of ARTC's Coffee House Days. Or of Guerilla Radio Theater at Manuel's Tavern.

Included: "The Adventures of Hercule Perot." (Last name not a typo, any similarities to any Texas businessman are coincidental.) "UnResolved Mysteries Solved While You Wait: Phrenotherapy." And "A Girl and Her Griffon."
