1 00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:14,359 And now Audio Theater Central. Hello, welcome to Audio Theater Central. This 2 00:00:14,519 --> 00:00:19,719 is the show that explores family friendly audio drama through news, reviews and interviews. 3 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,600 I'm your host, JD. Sutter, and this is episode one hundred 4 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:29,640 and ninety five. Welcome to twenty twenty four. It's looking to be an 5 00:00:29,679 --> 00:00:33,200 amazing year for family friendly audio drama, and that's what this episode is going 6 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:38,600 to be all about. So for the here's what I'm thinking monologue segment this 7 00:00:38,719 --> 00:00:45,840 time, rather than a particular subtopic or issue within the community, I'm just 8 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,960 going to be discussing what's coming up in twenty twenty four, looking at some 9 00:00:50,119 --> 00:00:56,840 of the independent productions and sharing what I'm most looking forward to. We'll also 10 00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:02,640 have some feedback from Christian as well as an Apple podcast review without a Name, 11 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:07,400 so we'll get to that and some audio drama updates here. So this 12 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,519 might be a bit of a shorter episode to kick off the year. But 13 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,159 if this topic that we're going to get into here shortly is any indication, 14 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,200 it's going to be a jam packed year, So let's get into it. 15 00:01:19,519 --> 00:01:23,359 We interrupt this program to bring you a special report and in other news tonight, 16 00:01:23,599 --> 00:01:27,439 a brief look at the headlines. Now they want exciting, fast piece 17 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:34,000 news that's relevant and entertaining, like this quick reminder that if you have a 18 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,480 news item you want to let us know about. There is now a banner 19 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,200 on our website right on the homepage. Actually I believe it displays on every 20 00:01:42,239 --> 00:01:45,480 page of the website, but in the sidebar on the right hand side, 21 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,519 there's a big banner that if you just click it, it'll take you to 22 00:01:49,519 --> 00:01:52,200 write to a form where you can submit a news item for us. If 23 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,239 you're an audio drama producer, or if you're a fan who has heard about 24 00:01:55,239 --> 00:01:57,400 some audio drama news that you want to let us know about, you can 25 00:01:57,439 --> 00:02:00,879 do it that way as well. Again, that is right in the sidebar, 26 00:02:00,159 --> 00:02:06,159 or you can save this link PFM dot link slash atc News and that'll 27 00:02:06,159 --> 00:02:09,240 take you right to the form as well. Our first item is one that 28 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:15,840 I completely forgot to include in the last episode, and that is the Audio 29 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:22,319 drama Alliance released an episode in December. On December fifth of twenty twenty three, 30 00:02:23,479 --> 00:02:29,840 they released chapter two of Springs Grow. This is a really interesting series 31 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:36,639 that was developed by Nate Kufal, and so this is the second chapter in 32 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,439 this series, and it's called a Home Unbroken. The summary is we return 33 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:45,919 to the world of Springs Grow and the young squirrel Chester Brushwood. This time 34 00:02:46,039 --> 00:02:49,879 we meet his mother and sister as we visit their poor stump home in the 35 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,439 middle of a frightful storm. But the weather is not the only storm Chester 36 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:58,159 is facing. He is in the midst of an internal tumult as well. 37 00:02:58,719 --> 00:03:04,000 Will he ever get the answer about his family history that he desires? So 38 00:03:04,039 --> 00:03:07,520 that is a really fun short audio drama. Again, it is part two, 39 00:03:07,719 --> 00:03:10,439 or chapter two of that series, so I would highly recommend you go 40 00:03:10,439 --> 00:03:15,919 and take a listen to chapter one first. But if you missed those audio 41 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:20,280 dramas, I definitely think they're worth listening to. And I really love what 42 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,919 this really interesting story world that Nate has created and it's really fun. So 43 00:03:25,039 --> 00:03:29,439 link is in the show notes or head over to audiodrama Alliance dot com. 44 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:35,879 It's a linked right there at the homepage as well. Also another audio drama 45 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,879 that has already been released and is out there for you to listen to. 46 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:44,479 It is the Lamb mini series from Witnesses. It is completed. The entire 47 00:03:44,599 --> 00:03:49,120 mini series has been released. It is split into two parts, so We 48 00:03:49,199 --> 00:03:54,719 have four episodes in each part and the summary is as follows. From shocking 49 00:03:54,800 --> 00:04:00,719 beginning to painful end, experience the arrest, try and death of Jesus Christ 50 00:04:01,039 --> 00:04:04,520 through the eyes of those who were there for each major event, from the 51 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:09,240 disciples in the garden of Gath Simone to Simon of Syreene on the road to 52 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:15,000 Galgatha, to Mary Magdalene at the empty tomb. The Lamb takes an unflinching 53 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,879 look at the story you thought you knew, told by the witnesses in their 54 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:25,480 own words. And I know we've talked about this show many times here in 55 00:04:25,519 --> 00:04:29,399 the past, but if you haven't heard witnesses, it is just that the 56 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,959 stories from the scriptures told by the witnesses in their own words. So it's 57 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:39,199 a very interesting way to tell Bible stories in the audio drama format. And 58 00:04:40,199 --> 00:04:44,959 the previous releases have been all wonderful, but this one is the first time 59 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,199 that Tracy the creator and writer of this show, Tracy Van Dolder, who 60 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:55,920 you may have heard in Phil Lawler's Iliot House, she has taken this story 61 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,480 and broken it down into multi a multi part miniseries and as I said, 62 00:05:00,519 --> 00:05:06,800 eight episodes total with a runtime of two hours and twenty one minutes. In 63 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:12,600 part one we have the following episodes The Servant, the Coward, the Governor, 64 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,319 and the Condemned, and in part two we have the Chosen, the 65 00:05:16,439 --> 00:05:21,120 Sun, the Teacher, and the Witness. And so the final episode there, 66 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:26,040 the Witness, was just released at the end of the year twenty twenty 67 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:30,000 three in December, and so that has concluded the entire series. The first 68 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,279 four episodes were released if I remember correctly, in twenty twenty two, and 69 00:05:33,319 --> 00:05:38,199 now the final four in twenty twenty three, so it is all concluded. 70 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,439 You can head over to Witnesses audio dot com or there is a link in 71 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,680 the show notes to the direct page on that website and you can stream them 72 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,920 for free. All the credits are listed there. Some amazing talent worked on 73 00:05:49,959 --> 00:05:56,199 this show. Many names you've probably heard of, Carol O'Brien, Andy Harvey, 74 00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:02,439 Jonathan Cook, Sean Condy, Jake Phillips, Daniel cross Mark, Henry 75 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:08,000 Cooney of course as the role of Jesus, who he has played in all 76 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:12,959 of the episodes thus far and just does a phenomenal job. But many of 77 00:06:12,959 --> 00:06:15,839 these actors you've probably heard in Jonathan Park and other shows like that. Nato 78 00:06:15,959 --> 00:06:24,519 Jacobson is in this, David Sanborn, Nathan Carlson, so it's just some 79 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,600 amazing talent and this is an audio drama you definitely want to listen to, 80 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,120 So head over there, give those a listen, and we will be talking 81 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:40,399 more about them the entire mini series on the show soon, so stay tuned 82 00:06:40,439 --> 00:06:43,439 for that, but in the meantime, go give those a listen. The 83 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:48,519 Lamb mini series from Witnesses all right, and a couple of items that are 84 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:54,439 coming up, And the first is twelve thirty two, the audio epic that 85 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,079 we have been talking about here for a little while on the show, and 86 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:03,759 also they spawned answered last year's Seneca Awards, is finally releasing to the public. 87 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:10,319 There have been episodes go out to Kickstarter backers, and I've heard the 88 00:07:10,319 --> 00:07:13,639 first couple of episodes. I'm really liking what I've heard so far. It's 89 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:18,399 a really interesting take on the Arthurian legends, so it's mixing it in with 90 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:24,519 modern day stuff, so it's fascinating. I haven't heard the entire series yet, 91 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,839 of course, but they are dropping very very soon. So here's what's 92 00:07:28,879 --> 00:07:33,399 going on. They are doing our release party on January seventeenth, and so 93 00:07:33,519 --> 00:07:38,839 that's just a couple of days away, and you head over to their website 94 00:07:38,839 --> 00:07:43,040 audio dash epic dot com and there's a link to where you can sign up 95 00:07:43,079 --> 00:07:46,199 to get more information about the event and join that they're going to be dropping 96 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:51,319 the first five episodes on Wednesday the seventeenth, and if you want a taste 97 00:07:51,319 --> 00:07:57,120 of it before then, episode one is available on Drama five now. And 98 00:07:57,199 --> 00:08:00,920 so here's a little bit about the show. When the experience mental research of 99 00:08:00,959 --> 00:08:05,240 a physicist goes awry, his estranged twin children follow him to medieval whales, 100 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:11,040 where a shattered kingdom forces them to confront their broken relationship. So, again, 101 00:08:11,279 --> 00:08:16,720 this is a very interesting story, lots of things I don't It doesn't 102 00:08:16,759 --> 00:08:22,160 really fit into one category or genre, so it's hard. It's hard to 103 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:26,160 categorize it. But if you do like epic fantasy, I think that you 104 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:31,319 will enjoy this as well. But if you also just enjoy a good story, 105 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,600 you know there's there's something there I think for everybody. So that release 106 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,600 party is again on Wednesday the seventeenth, and the first five episodes will be 107 00:08:39,639 --> 00:08:43,919 dropping on that same day. At the event, there will be some behind 108 00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:48,720 the scenes content and some the producers will be there sharing some tidbits and sneak 109 00:08:48,759 --> 00:08:52,840 peeks at what's coming up later on in the season. So I think there's 110 00:08:52,919 --> 00:08:58,080 like thirty some episodes that are involved in this first season of the show. 111 00:08:58,639 --> 00:09:03,159 So this is going to be a long running series. And if I remember 112 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:09,399 correctly, there's already a season two planned. So this is going to be 113 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,080 a long haul and it's going to be a fun ride, I think so 114 00:09:11,519 --> 00:09:15,559 again. Link is in the show notes to head over there, check out 115 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:20,360 those episodes, and of course to hop in on that release party on January 116 00:09:20,399 --> 00:09:26,840 seventeenth. And lastly, tickets are now available for the Adventures of Odyssey. 117 00:09:26,919 --> 00:09:31,080 One grand party that focus on the family is hosting in Colorado Springs this coming 118 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:35,320 summer August second and third, twenty twenty four. In case you missed it, 119 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,919 this is a special event that will include a live audio drama recording with 120 00:09:39,039 --> 00:09:43,080 several of the AIO cast members. There's going to be an interactive display called 121 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,799 Experience Odyssey. There's going to be a you know, a wits End and 122 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,720 all kinds of stuff. I don't know exactly what that's all going to look 123 00:09:50,799 --> 00:09:52,200 like, but it sounds like it's going to be amazing, and there's going 124 00:09:52,279 --> 00:09:56,759 to be other stuff, chances to meet the actors, get autographs and things 125 00:09:56,799 --> 00:10:01,080 like that. So if you're interested in that it all, check out the 126 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,559 link in the show notes or head over to one Grand Party dot com and 127 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:09,919 that's one one spelled out one Grand Party dot com and you can grab your 128 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:16,159 tickets there and that will be coming up this summer in Colorado Springs testing one, 129 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,200 two three testing. That was just me talking. I do that a 130 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,559 lot. Where's my speech now long you're going to war up with it? 131 00:10:24,279 --> 00:10:28,559 That's what I want to talk about. So let's take a look at what's 132 00:10:28,639 --> 00:10:33,480 coming down the road here in twenty twenty four in the world of family friendly 133 00:10:33,519 --> 00:10:37,399 audio drama. Now, we published a post on the website here just a 134 00:10:37,399 --> 00:10:43,039 few days ago, and it really details everything we knew about at the time 135 00:10:43,279 --> 00:10:48,039 of what was coming in this year, and so I'm going to sort of 136 00:10:48,039 --> 00:10:52,480 go down this list and just share some of my thoughts about it for this 137 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,559 episode's So here's what I'm thinking segment, and I think this could be fun. 138 00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,679 Well, we'll just see where it goes. And they're going to be 139 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,000 you know, totally off the top of the head thoughts as I go down 140 00:11:05,039 --> 00:11:07,600 this list, and I'm going to share, you know, some of the 141 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,679 ones that I think I'm looking forward to the most. Now I'm not going 142 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,279 to go into the main stage like Adventures and Odyssey, The Advenum, Jonathan 143 00:11:13,279 --> 00:11:18,200 Park, lamp Lader Theater, and Nick Guy Private Eye. As far as 144 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,600 we know, all of those are going to be continuing to be produced as 145 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,360 normal. Those will be coming out this year. So those are the ones, 146 00:11:24,399 --> 00:11:28,840 you know, a lot of people are already familiar with and of course 147 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:33,159 always looking forward to what those shows have to offer. So I want to 148 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,159 look at some of the things that we may not have heard of before, 149 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:43,080 or the ones that are from independent producers or ones that are not have not 150 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,559 been in regular production in some time, you know, those kinds of things. 151 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,320 So if you want to see the full list, it is linked in 152 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,759 the show notes here for this episode, but I do recommend going to check 153 00:11:52,879 --> 00:11:56,480 that out and be sure to share your thoughts on what you're looking forward to. 154 00:11:56,519 --> 00:12:00,200 But let's kind of go down This first off on the list was from 155 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,799 Wise King Media. We've gotten word that they're going to be rebooting Macmeat's History 156 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,799 and now that I say that, I don't know if that's the right word 157 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,279 reboot, but it will be picking up. There will be some new episodes 158 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:16,799 coming, so we don't know exactly where this is going. But they did 159 00:12:16,799 --> 00:12:20,279 two episodes back in twenty twenty and then it just stopped, and I thought 160 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:26,399 they were off to a good start there, in my opinion, needed some 161 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:31,440 refinement. It was an interesting premise and I thought they had had some potential 162 00:12:31,759 --> 00:12:33,080 and I would have liked to have seen them continue back then, but for 163 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:37,320 some reason they didn't. So I'm very glad to hear that they will be 164 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:43,960 continuing this now. I don't know for certain, but it was originally released 165 00:12:43,039 --> 00:12:48,159 for free as a podcast, whereas everything else from ys King Media are premium 166 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:54,120 audio dramas that you must purchase, the Advenum and Jonathan Park, but this 167 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:58,039 one was released as a podcast, and so I'm hoping that they will continue 168 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:03,039 that and use this as a way to you know, reach a new audience 169 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:07,519 with wiskin media content and perhaps bring them over into the you know, the 170 00:13:07,519 --> 00:13:11,240 paid for content from Jonathan Park or the Advenum, you know, adding some 171 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:16,679 promos in to for those shows in these episodes. So I'm hoping that they 172 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,840 will do that, but that's about all we know about that, But I 173 00:13:20,879 --> 00:13:24,559 am looking forward to seeing what they do with that series. And next up 174 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:31,080 is from New Birth Audio Productions. This is Micah Touchet's audio production company. 175 00:13:31,799 --> 00:13:37,440 And so I know that Micah has been working on developing his own company for 176 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:41,639 for a long time, and he's had series in the works, but twenty 177 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:48,759 twenty four will be the first year where he's putting out content under this umbrella 178 00:13:48,879 --> 00:13:52,399 or this brand as far as I know. So the first one that is 179 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:58,320 coming is called Reckoning of Cowards and this is the first, potentially the first 180 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:05,600 installment in a new series called the Bayou Noir Series. And the script for 181 00:14:05,639 --> 00:14:11,039 this was written by Darby Kern and Micah, and so this is supposed to 182 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:15,240 come out very soon here in the early part of twenty twenty four. And 183 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:20,799 I love a good detective or mystery show. I mean, I grew up 184 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:28,440 reading hardy Boys and some Nancy Drew and all kinds of mystery series as a 185 00:14:28,519 --> 00:14:31,399 kid, and as I got older, I moved into, you know, 186 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:37,080 reading thriller novels and things like that, and so I've always loved a good 187 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:41,679 detective story, and so when I first heard about this one, I was 188 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:46,279 really excited about it, and I really can't wait to hear how this comes 189 00:14:46,279 --> 00:14:50,919 out. I know Darby's a great writer. I don't think I've ever heard 190 00:14:50,039 --> 00:14:56,559 anything that Micah has written, but I'm sure these guys teaming up it's going 191 00:14:56,639 --> 00:15:01,240 to be great. I've definitely heard Micah's audio production w post production is his 192 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,360 sound design stuff, and I've heard music that he's done, and so it's 193 00:15:05,399 --> 00:15:09,879 always great quality. So I have high hopes for this one. Really really 194 00:15:09,879 --> 00:15:15,080 looking forward to this. And then also Micah has teamed up with Tracy Van 195 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:20,120 Dolder, who I mentioned just a moment ago regarding Witnesses, and she wrote 196 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:24,559 a script that is a feature length Western and this one, oh man, 197 00:15:24,919 --> 00:15:28,080 I'm really excited about this too. It's called The Claim, and this is 198 00:15:28,159 --> 00:15:33,240 expected to come late twenty twenty four. And again I'm a huge sucker for 199 00:15:33,279 --> 00:15:39,120 a good Western story. Oh man. I've been a Louis Lamore fan for 200 00:15:39,399 --> 00:15:43,679 years. We've talked about his audio dramas on the show in the past, 201 00:15:43,759 --> 00:15:48,960 but I've read, I think nearly every one of the novels that he wrote, 202 00:15:48,519 --> 00:15:52,120 and many many of the short story collections. There's still a handful of 203 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:56,440 those that I haven't gotten around to. Many of those started to be collected 204 00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:02,159 posthumously and were published, you know, even is recently as a few years 205 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:06,519 ago, and so I don't think I've read all of those yet. But 206 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:12,320 I really do enjoy a good Western, and as much as his stuff was 207 00:16:14,279 --> 00:16:18,960 somewhat formulaic, you could say, I still love him. You know, 208 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:22,320 a good gunfight, and you know the history aspect and the geography, and 209 00:16:22,639 --> 00:16:26,519 now this is sort of turning into a Louis Lamore fan club here. But 210 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:32,320 all of that to say, I love Western stories, and so I'm really 211 00:16:32,399 --> 00:16:37,039 looking forward to this one. Tracy is a great writer. Again, I've 212 00:16:37,279 --> 00:16:44,960 heard her work in Witnesses and so I'm very very excited about this and can't 213 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:52,000 wait to hear how that comes out. Now, another one that has Micah's 214 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:57,200 fingerprints on it, and that is Jake Muller Adventures is returning Tanhauser Gate Entertainment. 215 00:16:57,759 --> 00:17:03,919 This is Darby Kerr, and I think the first installment of this show, 216 00:17:03,519 --> 00:17:08,240 Unidentified, was phenomenal. I've talked about this before on the show, 217 00:17:08,279 --> 00:17:15,200 that there is a lack of great high quality audio drama aimed at an older 218 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:21,200 audience. There is some great stuff out there for younger kids. We've had 219 00:17:21,799 --> 00:17:26,400 stuff aimed at that demographic for ages, I mean, for a very long 220 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:33,079 time. That also seems to be generally the audience that most clean, family 221 00:17:33,079 --> 00:17:37,400 friendly audio drama targets is children. Nothing wrong with that, of course, 222 00:17:37,599 --> 00:17:42,640 but I'm not a child anymore, and even though I still enjoy many of 223 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:48,680 those shows, I want to hear stuff that's aimed at an old audience, 224 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:53,160 or at the least an older audience, a teen and college age or something, 225 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:59,519 if not necessarily for you know, targeted directly at you know, a 226 00:17:59,519 --> 00:18:03,119 middle age, you know, something like that. But and that's what Jake 227 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:11,559 Muller is. It's a great thriller, action adventure story with some really interesting 228 00:18:11,599 --> 00:18:15,160 topics. So they're you know, in the first one they tackled the idea 229 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:22,160 of UFOs. And the second one is entitled Blood and it will be released 230 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:26,960 mid twenty twenty four. From what I understand, the script's already finished on 231 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:32,799 that they will be going into production soon and it's called Blood and that's going 232 00:18:32,839 --> 00:18:38,920 to be a dressing the phenomenon of vampires. And the third one called Undead, 233 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:44,799 which is supposed to come out later in twenty twenty four, will be 234 00:18:45,519 --> 00:18:52,599 addressing zombies. So these are pop culture topics and they're looking at them through 235 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:59,000 a lens of scripture, and I think it's great, and so I'm really 236 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:03,640 really looking forward to the Just the character of Jake as well is just interesting 237 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:08,400 to me because there's obviously a lot going on. He's got a very interesting 238 00:19:08,519 --> 00:19:15,039 past, and as I allude to earlier, I have read a lot of 239 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:22,759 thriller novels and you know a lot of those are espionage or government cover ups 240 00:19:22,839 --> 00:19:27,559 and you know, big, grand scale plots, and that's what the world 241 00:19:27,599 --> 00:19:32,839 of Jacob Muller feels like to me. And so that we're going to be 242 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:37,319 able to get more of that series is really really exciting. And Darby played 243 00:19:37,319 --> 00:19:44,920 an extended clip at Sonic Con during one of his classes, and man, 244 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:52,000 I'm really really excited about this series. So really looking forward to this now. 245 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,160 This one is one that we were hoping to get last year but that 246 00:19:55,200 --> 00:20:00,319 did not materialize, and that is new episodes of Pause and Tales. Now 247 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:06,039 we know that they recorded them and had at least begun on the post production 248 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:11,240 of at least four new episodes they did not get released, but they are 249 00:20:11,279 --> 00:20:17,359 coming this year, and thanks to ATC listener Carlton, who let us know 250 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:23,000 that he saw a post on social media that the team responded to a question 251 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:27,319 there and said that they will be coming in March of twenty twenty four. 252 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:32,039 So now I don't know if all four episodes are coming in March or if 253 00:20:32,079 --> 00:20:34,400 there's going to be more than four. We'll find out as soon as we 254 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,400 can, but thank you to Carlton for letting us know about that. But 255 00:20:38,079 --> 00:20:41,960 in any event, there will be new episodes of Pause and Tales. They've 256 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:47,720 refreshed all of the artwork for the showy, they gave the website a facelift, 257 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:52,880 and so they are really it seems like they're really going all in on 258 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:59,680 trying to introduce this show to a new audience and get you know, build 259 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:03,200 up the following for it in the build up to this release of these new 260 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:08,279 episodes. And so I'm excited about this one as well. It's a great 261 00:21:08,319 --> 00:21:11,240 show. It really is a great show. They did sixty nine episodes over 262 00:21:11,319 --> 00:21:15,119 a span of several years, but it's been quite some time since new episodes 263 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,960 have come out, so really, really excited about this and I can't wait 264 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:26,759 to give those a listen now. Shadows in Daylight concluded its first season last 265 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:34,000 year and released the first episode of its second season as well, so that 266 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:38,759 is exciting. Don't know exactly how many episodes from the rest of the season 267 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:44,480 will be coming this year, but this is a show that I'm looking forward 268 00:21:44,519 --> 00:21:47,400 to. And if you've been around here for any length of time, you 269 00:21:47,519 --> 00:21:52,640 know that Christopher Green is the creative behind that show, and he is also 270 00:21:52,559 --> 00:21:57,039 the head writer for the comedy show that he and I make together called Greenhorn 271 00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:02,279 Tales. And so I know Chris Green pretty well, I guess as well 272 00:22:02,319 --> 00:22:07,920 as one can for a colleague that you've never met in person and every interaction 273 00:22:08,039 --> 00:22:12,480 has been online or via phone. So I do have a sort of personal 274 00:22:12,559 --> 00:22:19,160 connection to this series and was privileged to be able to voice a character in 275 00:22:19,839 --> 00:22:25,799 season one of this show, and I was invited to come back for season 276 00:22:25,839 --> 00:22:29,960 two. I can't believe that, and it was fun. I can't say 277 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:36,279 anything more about any of that, but I am looking forward to this series. 278 00:22:36,839 --> 00:22:41,799 Christopher has really retooled his approach to this show and is trying to do 279 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:48,000 some new things with it, and I'm really excited to hear where it goes. 280 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,240 We'll be hearing more about season one. If you haven't heard that show, 281 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,279 we're going to. We're going to be talking about the entire twelve episode 282 00:22:56,319 --> 00:23:00,480 season one on the show very soon and we'll get a little bit more behind 283 00:23:00,519 --> 00:23:03,119 the scenes and hopefully have Christopher come on the show to talk about that. 284 00:23:03,279 --> 00:23:07,119 But looking forward to what is coming in season two of Shadows and Daylight, 285 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,920 I know that there will be some regular season episodes, and there is a 286 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:15,119 Christmas special that is planned, which he's told me a little bit about but 287 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:19,640 no spoilers, and I'm really looking forward to hearing that one as well. 288 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,119 It's going to be from what I understand the little bits that I've gotten from 289 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:29,119 him, it's going to be a very different Christmas special, so it sounds 290 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:33,839 intriguing. So I'm looking forward to this one as well. And we've talked 291 00:23:33,839 --> 00:23:37,039 about this before as well. Shadows and Daylight will be doing a crossover with 292 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:41,319 the Nick Guy Private Eye show, so some of the Shadows and Daylight characters 293 00:23:41,319 --> 00:23:45,880 will be appearing in that show that's going to be coming out this year as 294 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,880 well. So I know I said I wasn't going to go too deeply into 295 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,920 the Nick Guy series here, because you know, Frank, Youughley and his 296 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,400 team, they just keep cranking out episodes all the time. They have an 297 00:23:56,440 --> 00:24:04,119 amazing output putting out multi part arcs so frequently, and they release a lot 298 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:11,599 of great content. Fun show there, apologetics topics tackled in a very humorous 299 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:17,039 way from a bit of a bumbling detective Nick Guy who sort of stumbles across 300 00:24:17,039 --> 00:24:21,000 the answers. But there's always fun characters, and so this is going to 301 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:26,279 be interesting to sort of merge that comedy and that mystery and drama of Shadows 302 00:24:26,279 --> 00:24:30,480 on Daylight. So this will be interesting to hear as well. Well. 303 00:24:30,519 --> 00:24:36,039 If you have been watching this space, then you know that Glenn Haskell has 304 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:41,400 burst onto the scene here in twenty twenty three with a bunch of new releases 305 00:24:41,599 --> 00:24:45,920 under his brand First Acts Productions, and has just started cranking out audio dramas. 306 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,440 And again I was privileged to be able to be involved in some of 307 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:53,680 those and play some characters for him. But he's got a whole bunch of 308 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:59,240 stuff planned for twenty twenty four that's going to be coming more in the Dragnet 309 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:04,480 series. A holiday special for the on demand series, so those are great, 310 00:25:04,599 --> 00:25:11,039 but he's also developing some new series as well, and at least one 311 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:17,799 standalone Christmas story. He did one standalone Christmas story last year as well as 312 00:25:18,319 --> 00:25:25,279 a Christmas themed installment of his Dragnet series. So man, just some really 313 00:25:25,279 --> 00:25:29,200 cool stuff from him. And he's a writer who, also, like Frank 314 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:33,720 Hughley, has a really fun sense of humor. And there are always some 315 00:25:33,799 --> 00:25:40,119 really great zingers and one liners in these productions, and from a nick guy 316 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:45,279 as well. But they're fun to listen to because these guys just know how 317 00:25:45,279 --> 00:25:48,400 to write fun quips and I enjoy that aspect of them a lot. But 318 00:25:48,839 --> 00:25:55,720 one of the new shows he's developing is called Josiah Donovan Scientific Historian, and 319 00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:00,759 this is sort of a follow up or a spinoff of an show that he 320 00:26:00,839 --> 00:26:04,240 has done. If you heard that interview with him in the last episode, 321 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:08,519 I believe he talked about Dudley Junction, which was a show that he worked 322 00:26:08,519 --> 00:26:11,079 on many years ago, and this is sort of a spin off of that. 323 00:26:11,839 --> 00:26:17,920 And this character sounds very and I hate to say this because I don't 324 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,240 want it to sound like I'm saying that he's copying or anything. But it 325 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:26,240 just it carries similar vibes to me. This character of Josiah Donovan sounds sort 326 00:26:26,279 --> 00:26:33,240 of like a mister Whittaker kind of character, or maybe even a little bit 327 00:26:33,279 --> 00:26:38,759 closer to a Professor Phineas T. Boggs character from the Academy of Arts series, 328 00:26:40,759 --> 00:26:45,400 but sort of like a from my understanding, a you know, eccentric 329 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:51,039 inventor scientist kind of guy, but he focuses on history. So this will 330 00:26:51,079 --> 00:26:55,960 be interesting. There's there's scheduled to be at least three installments from that series 331 00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:02,440 in April, May and June of this year. So I mean that's really 332 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:06,319 all that I know about that. I have not heard Dudley Junction, which 333 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,920 is the show, the show that sort of inspired this one, so I 334 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:15,359 don't have much context other than what Glenn has shared. So this sounds interesting. 335 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:19,839 I'm really excited for this, and as I mentioned, more dragnet from 336 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:26,240 him as well. And then well, he'll have that standalone Christmas episode in 337 00:27:26,279 --> 00:27:30,039 either November or December, which is called Christmas at the Canteen, another one 338 00:27:30,039 --> 00:27:33,519 that I'm really looking forward to. It sounds like it's a historical piece, 339 00:27:33,759 --> 00:27:40,720 and so this sounds really interesting. I'm always excited to hear what Glenn is 340 00:27:40,799 --> 00:27:45,039 up to, and believe it or not, he's already working on a new 341 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:51,160 series for twenty twenty five, tentatively titled Range Drifters, and it's going to 342 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:56,240 feature a bunch of cute little critters in this mountain region and this story setting 343 00:27:56,279 --> 00:28:00,079 where they tell stories or something along those lines. One of the characters is 344 00:28:00,079 --> 00:28:06,200 called Silas, the Storytelling Gopher, and so this sounds really really fun. 345 00:28:06,559 --> 00:28:11,240 Six episodes are planned for twenty twenty five, and potentially more coming in twenty 346 00:28:11,279 --> 00:28:15,640 twenty six, depending on how those go or how those are received. But 347 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,599 this just sounds interesting. Again, this is not till twenty twenty five, 348 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:25,640 so this is not coming this year. But Glenn is just cranking out audio 349 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:30,920 dramas and I'm so glad to have him back and active in the space again, 350 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,559 you know, producing his own stuff again. So this is really really 351 00:28:33,599 --> 00:28:38,079 cool. I'm looking forward to that a lot. And another producer that is 352 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:42,839 just cranking out the content is LRT Media. Oh goodness, they've got a 353 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:48,200 lot coming up. The first season of robin Hood Rising to Honor has already 354 00:28:48,279 --> 00:28:52,319 started. Two episodes are out at this point, and I've heard both of 355 00:28:52,359 --> 00:28:56,599 them, and it's it's so good so far. I'm just I'm just so 356 00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:03,400 excited about that show. But the rest of season one will be coming out 357 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:07,640 this year along with the season two so man and this is a collaboration with 358 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:14,160 Eternal Future Productions. So that's one that it is coming from l RT Media. 359 00:29:14,519 --> 00:29:18,279 And then they're going to be premiering another series called Heritage Stories of American 360 00:29:18,319 --> 00:29:23,200 Heroes. Two episodes we know about so far, Captain Molly and Pony Bob. 361 00:29:23,799 --> 00:29:26,759 And this is going to be, as the title says, it's an 362 00:29:26,799 --> 00:29:33,119 American history show. So this is just really interesting. It's just a great 363 00:29:33,279 --> 00:29:40,400 opportunity to tell lesser known stories from American history. I mean, everybody knows 364 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:48,480 about the Civil War or the Pilgrims or you know, the War for Independence 365 00:29:48,559 --> 00:29:52,680 and those kind of things, but the big events. But these, from 366 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,799 what I understand from Craig Hart, who is the main man over there at 367 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:03,680 LRT Media, the these episodes will be telling stories that you might not know 368 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,640 too much about or ones that you might think you know, and they'll be, 369 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,839 you know, kind of giving the full story. And so this is 370 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:17,240 going to be really really fun. Also from LRT Media, is the third 371 00:30:17,279 --> 00:30:22,480 installment of their Shirlock Holmes series. This is their first original home story and 372 00:30:22,519 --> 00:30:26,599 it's called The Lost Legacy of Tilly Whim. I believe it's going to be 373 00:30:26,599 --> 00:30:30,359 coming out very very soon, and I'm really excited about this. You know, 374 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,480 I mentioned earlier. I'm a big detective fan. I've been reading the 375 00:30:33,519 --> 00:30:38,279 Shirtlock Holmes stories since i was a kid, and I've read all of them, 376 00:30:40,039 --> 00:30:42,440 and it's been a while since i've read them, so I could probably 377 00:30:42,519 --> 00:30:48,759 use another trip through Baker Street here. But I mean, there's a lot 378 00:30:48,759 --> 00:30:52,039 of Sherlock Holmes audio drama out there, and some of it is really really 379 00:30:52,079 --> 00:30:56,039 good, some of it not so great. There are some from the old 380 00:30:56,079 --> 00:31:02,119 time radio era and then some from more recent year. Big Finish has done 381 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:08,519 some. In fact, actor Caleb Bresler recently produced a standalone Sherlock Holmes original 382 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:14,000 not too long ago as well, so and we've talked about that here on 383 00:31:14,039 --> 00:31:18,960 an updates segment in the past. But the first two that LRT dead were 384 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:25,519 adaptations from the original Arthur Conan Doyle stories. Now this time he's taking some 385 00:31:25,599 --> 00:31:30,960 things that he's set up in those two adaptations and building out some original arcs 386 00:31:32,319 --> 00:31:36,000 with the Holmes character, so again it's called the Lost Legacy of Tilly Whim 387 00:31:36,359 --> 00:31:41,279 really really looking forward to this one as well. And then we are hopeful 388 00:31:41,279 --> 00:31:45,960 that we're going to get the final two parts of the Greek Church robbery arc 389 00:31:45,119 --> 00:31:49,880 from Chapel and Squeak, which is from Lart Media. And this is also 390 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:56,920 another show that has animals that talk, and this is about a rat and 391 00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:01,599 a mouse who are friends and they live in a church. So this is 392 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:06,559 this was really fun the first installment of that that was released quite some time 393 00:32:06,599 --> 00:32:10,000 ago, and I'm really really wanting to hear the conclusion of this. The 394 00:32:10,279 --> 00:32:15,880 character voices were so fun in this. Craig did several of them. Jonathan 395 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:20,039 Cook is in them, Amy Lilly is in things, and it's just a 396 00:32:20,039 --> 00:32:22,680 fun, fun show. And so I'm looking forward to hearing the conclusion of 397 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:29,119 that, and hopefully hopefully we'll get some more with Chapelin Squeak after this arc. 398 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:35,920 Now, another thing that Craig started is some micro audio dramas that he's 399 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:40,799 calling Nuggets, and the first one was released not long ago, and there's 400 00:32:40,839 --> 00:32:45,119 supposed to be coming a few more of those in that series. So that's 401 00:32:45,119 --> 00:32:52,440 going to be fun. This space of short form audio production is really interesting 402 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,680 to me. I was talking with Christopher Green about this just the other day, 403 00:32:55,359 --> 00:33:00,319 and I've been doing some stuff in that realm for a little bit now, 404 00:33:01,079 --> 00:33:06,519 and I did a little short form piece for Christmas, and I've done 405 00:33:06,519 --> 00:33:10,839 some other ones over the last year. But it's really interesting to me because 406 00:33:12,119 --> 00:33:16,839 working to make a cohesive story in a short form can be tough, but 407 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:22,359 it can also be really rewarding when you achieve it. And I think it's 408 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:29,359 also a really good gateway for people who aren't super into audio drama. Give 409 00:33:29,359 --> 00:33:32,960 them a short piece that's only a couple minutes to test out and see what 410 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,759 they think of this type of storytelling. You know, so many people are 411 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:42,359 visual these days and they want to see something on a screen. But I 412 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:46,599 love audio drama and just the medium of audio in general, and there's so 413 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:52,440 much you can do with audio, and so audio storytelling in a short form 414 00:33:52,519 --> 00:33:55,960 is so fascinating to me. So I'm looking forward to what Craig does with 415 00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,880 this. The first one was very experimental short form piece that tells a story 416 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:06,279 without any dialogue, and it's really interesting. So if you haven't heard that 417 00:34:06,759 --> 00:34:09,800 definitely want to give that a listen. But looking forward to more from this 418 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:15,800 Nuggets series from LRT Media. Well. I mentioned Eternal Future Productions a moment 419 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:20,440 ago, as they are working on the Robin Hood Show with LRT Media. 420 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,639 But of course we're going to be hearing more from the Pirateers series from them. 421 00:34:24,559 --> 00:34:30,159 Season three is going to be wrapping up with the last two episodes very 422 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:34,559 soon, and so that is something to look forward to. Love that show, 423 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,800 privileged to be a part of that. Getting to play Smitty on that 424 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:43,360 show is just a blast for me. I really enjoy working with them. 425 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:47,880 But brand new coming from them is their Star Trek parody show called Venture, 426 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,679 which is a show that we talked about pretty extensively in the interview that I 427 00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:59,559 did with Jonathan Cook and Alisha Hanson over there at EFP in a past episode 428 00:34:59,559 --> 00:35:05,920 here on. And so that one is coming very soon and I'm looking forward 429 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,400 to that one. Even though I'm not a Star Trek fan, I do 430 00:35:08,559 --> 00:35:15,079 like comedy and so I'm looking forward to hearing where they go with this show, 431 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,360 and I'm always up for something that will give me a laugh, So 432 00:35:17,599 --> 00:35:22,519 looking forward to that, and of course the continuation of Pirateeers. But also 433 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:29,400 they have a standalone production that they'll be producing called Resurgence, and it's a 434 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:34,679 period romance piece and that's slated to come out in April of this year, 435 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,159 and it was written by Glenn Haskell. So they teamed up with Glynn as 436 00:35:37,199 --> 00:35:40,800 they did on Venture, and so I didn't mention that a moment ago, 437 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:45,760 but yes, Glynn was the writer for the Venture episodes as well. But 438 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:54,159 again Resurgence is a standalone production. I do enjoy period audio dramas or any 439 00:35:54,199 --> 00:35:58,880 I mean, I've read a lot of historical fiction as well, and I 440 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:04,159 listened to a lot of BBC adaptations of classic literature, and so I do 441 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:13,679 love learning about people and stories from history and so these different eras of world 442 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,559 history. Obviously, the BBC does a lot of stuff set in England, 443 00:36:17,039 --> 00:36:22,559 and I really enjoy those kind of stories. You know, there's not many 444 00:36:22,559 --> 00:36:28,159 types of stories that I don't like. I do like listening to great stories, 445 00:36:28,199 --> 00:36:30,960 and so this sounds like it's going to be interesting. They shared the 446 00:36:31,079 --> 00:36:36,239 artwork a while back, and it's intriguing. It looks like a scene on 447 00:36:36,559 --> 00:36:40,599 a cruise ship or well, I guess it wouldn't be the modern day sort 448 00:36:40,599 --> 00:36:45,119 of cruise ship experience, but it looks like a yacht or something along those 449 00:36:45,159 --> 00:36:51,320 lines in the artwork there for Resurgence. But in any case, I'm looking 450 00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:57,880 forward to hearing that. Having heard the audio quality that Eternal Future Productions puts 451 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,840 out, I know it's going to be great. They are, as I 452 00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:07,559 said, teaming up with LRT on Robin Hood and they are working on post 453 00:37:07,559 --> 00:37:13,159 production on this show and so and of course they have on Pirateers as well. 454 00:37:13,199 --> 00:37:15,519 But you know, just getting to hear the quality that is coming out 455 00:37:15,519 --> 00:37:22,719 from especially these two producers in recent years is really exciting. It's really exciting 456 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:27,480 to me, and I just can't wait to hear more from these guys. 457 00:37:27,519 --> 00:37:34,199 So really looking forward to Resurgence and Venture. And finally, the last one 458 00:37:34,199 --> 00:37:37,000 that I want to talk about is one that we're going to be getting into 459 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:42,360 in more depth, hopefully in the next episode of the podcast. And this 460 00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:47,760 is a new entrant into the audio drama production space, and Oklahoma based Christian 461 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:53,239 nonprofit called Heart Matters is going to be launching an app and it will have 462 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:58,320 a bunch of content on there from what I understand, but they are specifically 463 00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:04,679 producing audio drama for kids, teenagers, and young adults that tackle a variety 464 00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:08,440 of issues that those age groups in particular are facing in this modern culture. 465 00:38:09,079 --> 00:38:14,400 And so this is something that's really really cool now. I know, as 466 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:19,320 I said earlier, there are lots of audio dramas aimed at kids, you 467 00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:22,920 know, adventures Odyssey of Course has been around for thirty six years, you 468 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,599 know, making audio drama aimed at kids, but or as they like to 469 00:38:25,639 --> 00:38:30,440 say, it's written for families. You know, but they do have a 470 00:38:30,519 --> 00:38:35,039 specific target age group. But you know, we know from Odyssey and and 471 00:38:35,079 --> 00:38:39,280 even other shows Your Story Hour and some of these other ones, they're not 472 00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:45,320 necessarily focused on specific issues all the time. I guess Jonathan Park sort of 473 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:52,519 was. They were originally all about the creationists point of view and apologetics from 474 00:38:52,519 --> 00:38:57,079 that point of view, how to defend creationism and that kind of thing, 475 00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,280 intelligent design and all of that. But as the case with all of these 476 00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:06,199 other shows that I've mentioned, they sort of have other things going on, 477 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,599 you know there. Odyssey of Course has lots of Slice of life episodes and 478 00:39:09,639 --> 00:39:15,880 some that are just straight up comedy, and Jonathan Park has it's primarily an 479 00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:22,719 action and adventure show that could sort of just sprinkle in scientific information, but 480 00:39:22,559 --> 00:39:27,639 this is a very different approach. These are actually going to be tackling tough 481 00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,280 topics and so we're going to get into this a little bit more, as 482 00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:35,760 I said in our next episode, but I'm really looking forward to hearing what 483 00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,320 they come up with. They have six episodes that will be coming in the 484 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:43,920 app at its launch, and then there will be more coming throughout the rest 485 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,920 of this year of twenty twenty four, and so that is definitely something to 486 00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:52,679 watch. And if you're a parent listening right now, this is definitely something 487 00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,920 you want to keep an eye out for and possibly even use this in your 488 00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:00,360 family to let your kids here some of the topics that they're going to be 489 00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:07,199 covering in these stories. So that is one I'm really really looking forward to 490 00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,480 as well. So you know, I've said that with all of them, 491 00:40:09,519 --> 00:40:13,960 I am looking forward to all of these, and I said earlier that I 492 00:40:14,079 --> 00:40:15,800 was going to share a little bit about, you know, maybe some of 493 00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:19,920 the ones that I'm looking forward to the most. And I want to make 494 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:23,119 it clear there isn't a single audio drama on this list that I'm not looking 495 00:40:23,199 --> 00:40:28,039 forward to or that I feel w hum about I'm looking forward to all of 496 00:40:28,079 --> 00:40:34,000 these. I know the work of all of these producers from previous productions, 497 00:40:34,199 --> 00:40:36,559 and so I know that all of these are going to be really good. 498 00:40:37,679 --> 00:40:40,880 But if I had to pick one that I'm really really excited about the most, 499 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:45,400 I think it probably would have to be Jacob Muller Adventures. And that 500 00:40:45,559 --> 00:40:49,960 is for the reason that I said before. They came out of the gate 501 00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:53,079 with that first installment, and it was top notch stuff. It was amazing 502 00:40:53,639 --> 00:41:00,400 the acting, production values, the music from Jerry de Pascual was just awesome, 503 00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:06,480 and the story setting and the characters were so cool. I loved it, 504 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,760 and I wanted more, you know. And so that there is going 505 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:15,320 to be at least two more coming this year and hopefully more next year. 506 00:41:15,159 --> 00:41:20,679 I'm really really excited about that one. That one is just really really intriguing 507 00:41:20,679 --> 00:41:25,639 to me because it is again aimed at an older demographic. So, Okay, 508 00:41:25,679 --> 00:41:29,360 as I said before, this is all off the top of the head, 509 00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:32,960 So let me see, I'm kind of scanning through the list here. 510 00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,760 What would I choose as my next I'm going to go ahead and mention my 511 00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:43,599 top three that I'm looking forward to the most, and now that I'm thinking 512 00:41:43,599 --> 00:41:45,760 about. This probably should have done in reverse order, because that's kind of 513 00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:51,239 the way you're supposed to do top lists. But okay, whatever I already 514 00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,559 said the one I'm looking forward to the most, So let's go to number 515 00:41:53,599 --> 00:41:59,800 two. Let's see here, what would that be? Okay? So I 516 00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:10,239 think probably my second most anticipated one would be the Claim the Western from New 517 00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:15,599 Birth Audio Productions. As I said before, love love Westerns, So I 518 00:42:15,599 --> 00:42:21,760 think that might be my number two. And let's see, let's see what 519 00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:25,039 would be my third. Probably Sherlock Holmes, The Lost Legacy of Tillywhim, 520 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:30,320 huge Sherlock Holmes fan, so that would be my number three. I think, 521 00:42:31,519 --> 00:42:35,039 hmmm, you know what, let's let's let's keep going. Let's keep 522 00:42:35,079 --> 00:42:42,519 going. Number four would probably be Reckoning of Cowards. That Bayou Noir setting 523 00:42:42,639 --> 00:42:45,800 just sounds so fascinating to me, So I think that would be my number 524 00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:53,159 four. And number five, let's see what would that be. Probably the 525 00:42:53,199 --> 00:42:58,360 continuation of the robin Hood Rising to Honor series. As I said, I've 526 00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:02,000 heard the first two episodes of that already and it's already pulled me in really 527 00:43:02,119 --> 00:43:06,840 enjoying it. They had a last minute change of composer. I know we 528 00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:09,760 had announced in the episode where I talked with Craig Hert about that show that 529 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:15,760 John Campbell was planning to be the composer for that show. Something happened they 530 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:21,760 had to switch and Dominic Trice came in and is writing some really fun music 531 00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:24,519 for that show. So I'm really really looking forward to that one. So 532 00:43:24,559 --> 00:43:29,119 I think those would be my top five and the rest would probably kind of 533 00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:34,760 come in at a tie at number six, because again, I'm really excited 534 00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:38,119 about all of these, and I think Man twenty twenty four is going to 535 00:43:38,159 --> 00:43:44,320 be a great year for family friendly audio drama. Really really excited about what's 536 00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:52,400 coming. So what do you think of the show? Please leave your message 537 00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,800 after the zone.

First of all, it's an Apple podcast review 552 00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:59,920 and the user name is Odissey Fan. Now this is not Odyssey Fan, 553 00:45:00,119 --> 00:45:07,559 who has been a longtime fan in the odisse fandom odisseyfan dot com, the 554 00:45:07,559 --> 00:45:10,920 one who has sponsored the Seneca Awards for several years. Now, this is 555 00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:17,440 not him. This is somebody who's using the Apple ID or Apple username Odyssey 556 00:45:17,599 --> 00:45:22,719 space fan all lower case and it's spelled O d y s e y, 557 00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:29,840 so not the capital O d y double s e y capital fa N no 558 00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:35,320 space as Dan the Odyssey fan uses. So this is somebody else, but 559 00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:38,119 that's their username. So I don't know who this is, but they gave 560 00:45:38,199 --> 00:45:44,639 us a five star review and said awesome in the title love the behind the 561 00:45:44,639 --> 00:45:47,519 scenes of audio drama stuff. I have learned of so many great audio dramas 562 00:45:47,599 --> 00:45:52,840 I had never heard of from ATC, great interviews, news and interviews from 563 00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:58,920 the audio drama world. So this was again from Apple Podcasts in late November. 564 00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,480 So thank you very much for the review and the feedback. Really really 565 00:46:01,559 --> 00:46:06,400 appreciate that. If you would like to give us a review on Apple Podcasts 566 00:46:06,559 --> 00:46:12,079 or Spotify or wherever you're listening, whatever platform you're using their podchaser, that 567 00:46:12,119 --> 00:46:15,440 would be amazing. I would love to have you do that as well. 568 00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:19,880 So thank you again to whoever you are who left this review for us. 569 00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:24,199 Really appreciate it now. So we did get a message from Christian in our 570 00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:29,880 Throne Room, which is a platform where you can chat directly with us and 571 00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:35,239 comment on episodes and things like that. But Christian said, I was having 572 00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:37,760 a discussion with a friend of mine and she asked an interesting question, what 573 00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:43,039 exactly is a family friendly audio drama. She brought up the focus on the 574 00:46:43,039 --> 00:46:46,039 family radio theater adaptation of Corey Tin Booms The Hiding Place, as well as 575 00:46:46,039 --> 00:46:50,599 the amazing Grace series from Focus on the Family radio theater and some of the 576 00:46:50,599 --> 00:46:54,079 Father Gilbert mysteries and the Screwtape letters. I would argue that just because something 577 00:46:54,119 --> 00:47:00,239 touches on mature themes doesn't make it non family friendly as long as it is 578 00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:04,519 done a certain way. But what do you think what makes an audio drama 579 00:47:04,559 --> 00:47:09,159 family friendly versus non family friendly? It sure made an interesting conversation on where 580 00:47:09,159 --> 00:47:14,559 exactly the line was. My question to Heather was, and I'm assuming Heather 581 00:47:14,679 --> 00:47:16,960 is the friend, which of them would you let your twelve year old son 582 00:47:17,039 --> 00:47:21,480 listen to? And that stumped her? So what are your thoughts, dear 583 00:47:21,519 --> 00:47:24,400 ATC community? And he added, I also think it's important to make a 584 00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:29,960 distinction between faith based audio drama and family friendly audio drama, because not all 585 00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,519 faith based audio drama will be family friendly, just as not all family friendly 586 00:47:32,559 --> 00:47:36,679 audio drama has to be faith based. Right. I hope I got this 587 00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:40,159 right? Okay, So want to unpack there, and I think it is 588 00:47:40,199 --> 00:47:45,000 an important discussion to have. So I want to zero in on one thing 589 00:47:45,039 --> 00:47:49,840 that Christian said here. And he said that this conversation that he had had 590 00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:53,679 with a friend was an interesting conversation on where exactly the line is, and 591 00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:59,719 that's exactly the way to look at it, I think, because family friendly 592 00:48:00,119 --> 00:48:04,920 sort of means something different to everybody. Every family has their own sort of 593 00:48:05,119 --> 00:48:09,719 standard of what they tolerate or what they consider appropriate for their kids, so 594 00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:15,960 it is a little bit tough to say definitively there is one definition of family 595 00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:21,039 friendly, because I don't necessarily think that's the case. So here's how I've 596 00:48:21,039 --> 00:48:24,400 always approached it and looked at it. Family Friendly to me just means that 597 00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:32,880 it's clean of sexual content, profanity, and cursing, and doesn't focus on 598 00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:38,559 things that are not edifying I guess, or at least doesn't show those things 599 00:48:38,599 --> 00:48:44,840 in a positive light. It's hard to nail down exactly, because again, 600 00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:47,639 everybody has their own tolerance level. But I do agree that there is a 601 00:48:47,639 --> 00:48:53,239 distinction between faith based or Christian audio drama and family friendly audio drama, though 602 00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:58,519 I would I would push back a little bit because I think that all faith 603 00:48:58,559 --> 00:49:04,400 based audio drama should be family friendly. That's that's my opinion, but not 604 00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:07,920 all family friendly audio drama has to be faith based. I do agree with 605 00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:13,599 that. I don't think family friendly is synonymous with Christian audio drama. It 606 00:49:13,599 --> 00:49:19,039 can be clean and not have an overt Christian or religious message in it. 607 00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:24,000 I think that's that's totally fine. Greenhorn Tails is a comedy show. It's 608 00:49:24,039 --> 00:49:31,320 not trying to tell or espouse any particular Christian message. It's just to make 609 00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:37,400 people laugh. But it's still family friendly. It's clean, and so I 610 00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:43,760 think that's that is a distinction there. But I also think family friendly does 611 00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:51,000 not mean necessarily that it is appropriate for all ages. So yes, sometimes 612 00:49:51,039 --> 00:49:57,239 an audio drama may address a more mature topic. Father Gilbert is an example. 613 00:49:57,360 --> 00:50:01,679 Yes, there is some stuff in there that is not super savory. 614 00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:09,000 You know, it's not great. They're not displaying certain circumstances as this is 615 00:50:09,039 --> 00:50:13,719 the ideal way to live your life. But they do show some things or 616 00:50:14,039 --> 00:50:21,000 portray some things in those stories to show how dark and how deep some person 617 00:50:21,039 --> 00:50:27,239 can get in the wrong side of things. I don't know if I'm articulating 618 00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:30,440 this properly, but so I still think that that is family friendly or that 619 00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:35,199 it is clean stories because they're not saying, oh, this is the way 620 00:50:35,199 --> 00:50:37,239 you should go live your life. They're just saying, hey, this character 621 00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:42,320 has made some choices that are not pretty, and we're showing you this as 622 00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:45,760 part of this story, but we're not saying this is the way you should 623 00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:51,039 act, and so that might not be appropriate for a five year old. 624 00:50:51,639 --> 00:50:53,519 You know, they may not even enjoy it at all. They might be 625 00:50:53,679 --> 00:50:58,960 bored by it anyway, but it might not be something that you, a 626 00:50:59,079 --> 00:51:04,239 parent would want a very young child to hear. They might not understand the 627 00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:07,800 nuance of what's being shown in this story. Same with the Hiding Place. 628 00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:14,239 There are some very intense scenes. I mean there's torture, there's death, 629 00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:17,679 So yeah, that might not be something that's applicable for a very young child. 630 00:51:19,079 --> 00:51:23,000 But I don't think that that makes that production not family friendly or not 631 00:51:23,159 --> 00:51:28,360 clean. So yeah, I wish there were a better way to describe this, 632 00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:31,559 another term that we could use. If you Christian or somebody else has 633 00:51:31,599 --> 00:51:36,480 an idea of what that might be, I would be open to hearing that, 634 00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:39,719 But family friendly is sort of the one that sort of works, the 635 00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:44,519 most one that has. There is a sort of similar term that comes over 636 00:51:44,559 --> 00:51:49,519 from publishing, which is I think primarily used in the case of like comics 637 00:51:49,599 --> 00:51:52,760 or graphic novels, and that's just all ages. So you know that that's 638 00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:57,000 going to be clean. There's not going to be any sexual content in those 639 00:51:57,079 --> 00:52:01,159 kind of stories generally. I mean, I guess you can never say one 640 00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:06,119 hundred percent certain on any of these kind of things, but that is a 641 00:52:06,199 --> 00:52:08,960 label that has been used in that world, and it's close, you know. 642 00:52:09,199 --> 00:52:14,639 I think, generally speaking, most family friendly or clean audio drama is 643 00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:20,280 appropriate for all ages to hear. But there are some of those examples, 644 00:52:20,639 --> 00:52:23,360 like The Hiding Place that has some very intense things that may not be appropriate 645 00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:29,039 for very young children. So yeah, there is a bit of a tightrope 646 00:52:29,079 --> 00:52:31,599 walk that you have to make here, and it's something that I've thought about 647 00:52:31,599 --> 00:52:37,920 a lot. But I just know that I don't want a bunch of garbage 648 00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:39,599 in my stories. That's just not what I want to hear, what I 649 00:52:39,599 --> 00:52:45,159 want to read. So I just want something that's clean. It does not 650 00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:49,679 have to be explicitly Christian, but I just want something that's not going to 651 00:52:49,679 --> 00:52:54,320 be filling my mind with garbage, you know. So yeah, that's probably 652 00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:59,280 an unsatisfactory answer, but that's sort of the way that I've approached it and 653 00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:05,760 the productions that we've talked about here over the last decade plus. Generally, 654 00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:10,239 we don't talk about shows that have any swearing, but there are some that 655 00:53:10,639 --> 00:53:15,400 we've referenced, like some of the Louis Lamore has some mild swearing in it 656 00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:19,280 occasionally some of the BBC stuff does as well. Those are ones that I 657 00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:23,400 would say is, you know, use your own discretion to go in with 658 00:53:23,559 --> 00:53:27,320 your eyes wide open. That's why if we do talk about something on the 659 00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:30,840 blog that might have something like that, we will be sure to reference that 660 00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:32,920 so you can make that decision. If you don't want to hear anything like 661 00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:37,360 that, then then skip that one. Generally, we don't do reviews and 662 00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:43,679 promote productions that have that kind of content at all, and those sorts of 663 00:53:43,679 --> 00:53:47,039 productions are not allowed at all in the Seneca Awards. But you know, 664 00:53:47,119 --> 00:53:52,039 there are some shows that I will listen to that might have some mild language 665 00:53:52,039 --> 00:53:54,440 in them, and it's not my favorite. It's not that I want that 666 00:53:54,559 --> 00:54:00,679 in there, but the overall story still has some to me personally that I 667 00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:04,920 can overlook it a little bit. Now, if it's just gratuitous and that's 668 00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:10,039 all throughout, then I'm just going to pass on that entirely. But there 669 00:54:10,079 --> 00:54:16,400 are some that I'll give I will still listen to same goes with violence. 670 00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:20,760 You know, that is something that some people draw an absolute line. They 671 00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:24,360 don't want to hear anything that's violent. And one example that comes to mind 672 00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:28,119 right now, off the top of my head is they focus on the family 673 00:54:28,199 --> 00:54:30,079 Radio Theater production of Oliver Twist. Now, there is a particular scene in 674 00:54:30,119 --> 00:54:37,719 there that is very violent and very tough to hear, some domestic abuse that 675 00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:42,880 is happening, and it's ugly. It's very ugly, but it's part of 676 00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:46,480 the story. And while it is tough to hear, I still think that 677 00:54:46,599 --> 00:54:52,639 is a phenomenal audio drama production. The performances in that were just amazing and 678 00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:57,039 the production values. Of course, it's focused on the family radio theater. 679 00:54:57,079 --> 00:55:00,400 They always do amazing on those. But so I still I think it's a 680 00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:02,400 worthwhile and I think it's a great audio drama. It's worth listening to. 681 00:55:04,159 --> 00:55:07,400 Now. Another one that comes to mind just now is the productions that River 682 00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:14,320 Cross are doing. They are tackling some very very dark subjects, child exploitation 683 00:55:14,519 --> 00:55:19,519 and child soldiers, very very dark things, but they do it in a 684 00:55:19,679 --> 00:55:23,760 very tasteful manner, and that also plays into it. You said, Christian, 685 00:55:24,199 --> 00:55:27,280 As long as it's done in a certain way, and I think that 686 00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:31,440 is key. You can still approach some of these heavy topics and do it 687 00:55:31,519 --> 00:55:37,960 in a manner that is not crossing that line of showing too much or saying 688 00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:43,760 too much, and that just makes the listener feel grimy or uncomfortable too much. 689 00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:49,360 Now, the topic of exploitation of children, that's an uncomfortable topic, 690 00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:54,760 and so you're gonna feel uncomfortable to hear those stories. But it's part of 691 00:55:55,840 --> 00:56:00,800 their mission to bring awareness to what's happening in all so to help people who 692 00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:06,320 have suffered from that experience to heal. And so it's a very interesting different 693 00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:09,960 approach that they're taking to audio drama. And I would say that those are 694 00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:15,960 their family friendly audio dramas, but they may not be appropriate for all ages, 695 00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:22,639 for young young children. So that's the line for me. And so 696 00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:25,880 again, if you have any ideas on a better term or a better way 697 00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:30,920 to phrase this, I'm definitely open to hearing that. Well, I'm going 698 00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:34,960 to head out the door. Thank you so much for joining me for this 699 00:56:35,039 --> 00:56:38,119 first episode of twenty twenty four.
