But for now, 12 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:02,719 there is a whole lot happening in the audio drama space, So let's get 13 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,920 to the audio drama updates.

Head over there, get your tickets right now and we'll see you 41 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:19,080 there. And lastly, don't have a whole lot of information about this because 42 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:23,919 I found out about it right before we were recording this episode, so I 43 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:30,000 unfortunately did not have time to research too much. But the Family Central Christian 44 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:36,599 Bookstore in Holland, Michigan, which is a Christian bookstore owned by Focus on 45 00:03:36,639 --> 00:03:42,879 the Family, and they have had multiple Adventures Odyssey related events there over the 46 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,719 years since it opened. I think it's only been open for a couple of 47 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:51,919 years now if I remember correctly, But they are adding a wits end at 48 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:58,080 this bookstore location and there's going to be a grand opening at noon on Saturday, 49 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:03,280 November eleventh, So again don't have a whole ton of information about what 50 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,960 all is involved. Is this going to be a replica of the one in 51 00:04:08,039 --> 00:04:14,120 Colorado Springs, I don't know. But what I do know is they said 52 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,480 that a beautiful facade of wits End is going to be opening at the back 53 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:23,519 of the bookstore and will soon be home to bustling activity spaces for kids, 54 00:04:24,079 --> 00:04:29,560 WIT's garage, Eugene's science lab, the soda shop's quaint kitchen, and a 55 00:04:29,639 --> 00:04:33,800 garden playhouse with two slides. So I don't know if that means it's a 56 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:39,079 full kitchen where they're going to be serving food, I don't know, but 57 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,959 that's the information that I have. If you are anywhere in the area and 58 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,240 that sounds like something you want to look into, there is a link in 59 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,920 the show notes to their website which has all their contact information, you know, 60 00:04:48,959 --> 00:04:54,120 phone number, address, all of that to look into that if you 61 00:04:54,199 --> 00:04:57,839 are in that area. But again, this is taking place at Family Central 62 00:04:57,879 --> 00:05:04,040 in Holland, Michigan, on on November eleventh. Well, that brings us 63 00:05:04,079 --> 00:05:11,439 to our recent releases section, and first up is a brand new audio drama 64 00:05:11,519 --> 00:05:15,360 series, the first of a series, i should say, and it is 65 00:05:15,399 --> 00:05:21,240 called the Harry Moon Series. This first audio drama is called wand Paper Scissors, 66 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:28,560 and it is a seventy seven minute standalone audio drama. But it sets 67 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:33,439 up the world of this character, Harry Moon, and is the origin story 68 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:39,560 of this character. And it is the beginning of a multiple book series, 69 00:05:40,399 --> 00:05:43,879 and this is the first one that they are adapting as an audio drama. 70 00:05:45,319 --> 00:05:49,639 There are some familiar names involved in this production. Joshua Nicholson, who if 71 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:54,279 you were at either of the previous Sonic Con events then you would have heard 72 00:05:54,319 --> 00:05:57,720 of him. He is a voice talent and a voice coach, and he 73 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:04,680 did sessions at both of the previous events, and so he adapted this book 74 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:11,399 into an audio drama script and did much of the post production on this himself. 75 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,240 And also he plays a couple of characters in this show. And then 76 00:06:16,399 --> 00:06:20,680 on top of that, we also have John Fornoff playing one of the characters 77 00:06:20,759 --> 00:06:26,399 in this show, and he does a really great job with that. And 78 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,600 in fact, I would say that those two were some of the best acting 79 00:06:30,759 --> 00:06:39,040 in this production in my opinion. They both just nailed their roles and so 80 00:06:39,519 --> 00:06:45,279 it's a show that is a geared towards children seven to twelve years old, 81 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:50,600 and the series is aiming to provide engaging storylines with important messages such as anti 82 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:56,839 bullying, self acceptance, and responsibility, all while teaching young readers to be 83 00:06:56,959 --> 00:07:01,279 heroes in their own communities by celebrating the differences of others and cultivating kind behavior. 84 00:07:01,879 --> 00:07:05,079 So again it's called the Harry Moon Series. You can check them out 85 00:07:05,079 --> 00:07:12,199 at Harrymoon dot org. And in this first release called Wandpaper Scissors, we 86 00:07:12,279 --> 00:07:19,240 meet Harry and his sister Honey and his archenemy Titus Kilgore. And this whole 87 00:07:19,279 --> 00:07:27,920 story is all about Harry preparing to compete in a talent show and runs into 88 00:07:27,959 --> 00:07:32,120 all kinds of issues with this bully named Titus. Harry is a magician, 89 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:39,199 so he's going to perform magic at this talent show and he meets this magical 90 00:07:39,279 --> 00:07:44,199 rabbit who starts talking to him. So there's some fun magical elements to it, 91 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,279 and it was an overall very fun story. There were a few elements 92 00:07:48,319 --> 00:07:51,079 that were a little bit rough, but that is sort of to be expected 93 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:57,439 with a brand new production in a new series and just getting things rolling. 94 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,839 Overall, I thought it was quite a fun little story. You can find 95 00:08:01,879 --> 00:08:07,000 a full review by ATC contributor Robert Thacker on our website, and there's a 96 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,519 link to that post in the show notes of this episode. So if that 97 00:08:09,519 --> 00:08:13,079 sounds like something you might want to check out for your family, go read 98 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:20,519 that review and then check out Harry Moon Want Paper Scissors the next item. 99 00:08:20,839 --> 00:08:26,360 If you heard the last bonus episode, which we released on October thirtieth, 100 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,519 then you already know about this, but in case you missed that episode. 101 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,559 Audio Imagination seventy seven Productions released a brand new audio drama called Operator. It 102 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:41,399 is a ninety minute audio drama that provides a unique perspective on the classic tale 103 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,519 of the War of the Worlds as performed by Orson Wells and the Mercury Theater 104 00:08:46,039 --> 00:08:50,960 back in nineteen thirty eight. The story focuses on the experiences of Fay Rogers, 105 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,240 a young woman embarking on her first night as a telephone operator. As 106 00:08:54,279 --> 00:08:58,679 the drama unfolds, listeners are transported to a world on the brink of chaos. 107 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,279 Unbeknownst to Fay, an alien invasion is imminent, and the fate of 108 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:09,360 humanity hangs in the balance, so it is an exclusive to Drama FI. 109 00:09:09,519 --> 00:09:11,519 So there's a link in the show notes to go check that out over there. 110 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,399 And if you missed the last episode, then you want to go check 111 00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:20,519 that out because I had a great conversation talking about some of the behind the 112 00:09:20,519 --> 00:09:24,960 scenes and the inspiration of that script with the creator of it, Matthew P. 113 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,879 Warner. So link is in the show notes to check out that episode 114 00:09:26,879 --> 00:09:33,879 as well if you missed it. And our last recent release item is the 115 00:09:33,919 --> 00:09:39,600 Titanic WAF soundtrack from Legacy Radio Theater. It is out now as a digital 116 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:45,559 download exclusively from the LRT Media web store, which is also a new thing 117 00:09:45,759 --> 00:09:50,200 that they have just launched, and the soundtrack is sixteen tracks. It is 118 00:09:50,919 --> 00:09:54,519 just over half an hour at thirty one and a half minutes long, some 119 00:09:54,600 --> 00:10:01,639 great music by John Campbell from that audio drama, and it is very reasonably 120 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,840 priced only a few bucks and you can get that soundtrack in wave or MP 121 00:10:05,919 --> 00:10:13,679 three formats. And also at this new LRT Media store they have where you 122 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:20,240 can actually purchase high quality downloads of their homes audio dramas and scripts and some 123 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,039 other stuff there so you can start supporting them even if you have listened to 124 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,759 this stuff that they've put out for free, you can now support them by 125 00:10:26,799 --> 00:10:31,200 purchasing some downloads there. So all of that is linked in the show notes 126 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:35,279 as well. I've been listening to the soundtrack. It is really great music. 127 00:10:35,039 --> 00:10:39,679 We know John Campbell has been a mainstay in this industry for so many 128 00:10:39,759 --> 00:10:43,720 years and he always does great work. So if you were like me and 129 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:48,399 love listening to audio drama soundtracks, this is a no brainer for you, 130 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:54,120 So head over there and grab your copy today. And speaking of LRT Media, 131 00:10:54,200 --> 00:11:01,440 we also have an update on their upcoming American history show called Heritage. 132 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:07,360 We alluded to it a little bit in the conversation with Craig Hart a couple 133 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:13,200 of episodes back, but they did officially announce and revealed the cover art of 134 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:18,480 this new show and the first production. So the show is called Heritage, 135 00:11:18,759 --> 00:11:24,039 Stories of American Heroes and episode one is called Captain Molly and it will be 136 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:31,440 about Molly Pitcher. This was written by Ashley Banker and directed by Alicia Hanson, 137 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,519 produced by Craig Hart. So we don't have a whole lot of information 138 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,639 about it yet, but it is in the works coming soon. The cover 139 00:11:39,759 --> 00:11:43,879 art looks amazing on this and who knows what other cool stories they have in 140 00:11:43,919 --> 00:11:48,879 the works at this point. But I am really excited about this show, 141 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,559 and so this is something to look forward to very soon. And you know, 142 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,480 just as I was putting together this update segment, there is so much 143 00:11:58,519 --> 00:12:03,600 happening and I'm just so excited. A lot of great content is coming up 144 00:12:03,639 --> 00:12:11,960 soon, and this is just a wonderful time to be involved in this space. 145 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:16,240 There's just so much good content. And one of those that is coming 146 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:20,480 up soon is a brand new show from a brand new company called Sound and 147 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:28,919 Fury Entertainment. And the show is called Root Sticks and that's Root as an 148 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:37,120 route like Root sixty six and sticks like the Band or the River Styx. 149 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:43,120 And I think there is a reason for that name. There. There's an 150 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:48,720 illusion there to classic rock and mythology, because I think both of those seem 151 00:12:48,799 --> 00:12:54,840 to be playing parts in this show. And this one is created by Colton 152 00:12:54,960 --> 00:13:00,480 Grellier, who I met at Sonicon and who is one of the key people 153 00:13:00,799 --> 00:13:07,360 responsible for Sonicicon's very existence. Super cool guy. I had a chance to 154 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,320 chat with him quite a bit at both of the events, and so I'm 155 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:16,720 excited that he is working on a brand new show and the sort of tagline 156 00:13:16,759 --> 00:13:20,960 for this show is where the Road goes on forever and all roads come to 157 00:13:20,039 --> 00:13:26,360 an end, and he said that root Sticks is basically the Twilight Zone meets 158 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:31,399 the Iconic American road Trip. They have six thirty minute episodes planned for the 159 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:37,000 first season, and the pilot will be performed live at Sonicicon in a couple 160 00:13:37,039 --> 00:13:43,879 of weeks, but the first six episodes are titled Wayfaring Stranger Like a Rolling 161 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:50,159 Stone, the Devil went down to Georgia, Ghostwriters in the Sky, in 162 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:54,120 the Hall of the Mountain King, and the House of the Rising Sun, 163 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,799 So you can see why I said that it seems like classic rock has some 164 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:05,279 sort of an influence here on the show in some way. But Culton told 165 00:14:05,279 --> 00:14:09,879 me that the show's target audience is young adult to college age, but rating 166 00:14:09,919 --> 00:14:13,679 wise, he says it's safe for kids to listen to as well. There's 167 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:18,360 no language or explicit content and there's only some mild violence. But he did 168 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,679 say that they do plan to address some thematically heavy things in the show. 169 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:28,639 At certain points, they're going to be touching on issues such as generational trauma, 170 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:33,480 mental health, broken families, failed friendships, and so that's why he 171 00:14:33,519 --> 00:14:37,000 says that he would recommend it to a slightly older age group. But he 172 00:14:37,039 --> 00:14:41,120 did continue and he said that despite much of the subject matter, there will 173 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:46,360 still be plenty of humor, especially in episode two, which he said quote 174 00:14:46,799 --> 00:14:52,360 turned into an almost misadventurous comedy of errors for the protagonist, exploring the often 175 00:14:52,879 --> 00:15:01,720 wonderland like logic of this supernatural road. So all of that to say, 176 00:15:01,759 --> 00:15:05,960 this sounds very interesting to me, he said. They do plan to go 177 00:15:07,519 --> 00:15:13,360 deeper, and there will be biblical themes that are sort of woven throughout some 178 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:18,600 of the plot points. So this is going to be very very interesting as 179 00:15:18,679 --> 00:15:22,720 they explore some heavier topics in a show that's meant for an older crowd, 180 00:15:22,759 --> 00:15:26,919 which is something that I've said for years. I would love to see more 181 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:33,720 of. This is being recorded at the studios of Liberty University, and so 182 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:39,759 we'll see where this one goes. But I'm ready to take this adventure down 183 00:15:39,759 --> 00:15:43,159 this road. A side note, I don't know if you're like me, 184 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:48,799 but whenever I speak of the road Route sixty six, I say route. 185 00:15:48,679 --> 00:15:56,039 But whenever I see that word just used in any other context, I always 186 00:15:56,080 --> 00:16:00,000 pronounce it as Route and I don't know why that is. Maybe it just 187 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:06,480 Route sixty six sounds weird. I don't know, that's a total tangent. 188 00:16:06,559 --> 00:16:11,440 Anyway, I'm looking forward to Rootsticks from Sound and Fury Entertainment and we will 189 00:16:11,519 --> 00:16:19,159 keep you updated on the progress of this show. And another show that is 190 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:26,639 coming soon is The Invicta Collective, and this one is from in Victim Digital. 191 00:16:26,519 --> 00:16:30,360 So the show is Invicta with an A at the end, and the 192 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:37,720 company is in Victim You am at the end there, so it is easy 193 00:16:37,759 --> 00:16:41,159 to confuse the two there. But the Invicta Collective is a brand new show 194 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:48,000 that is coming soon. Jonathan Winstead is the creative force behind in Victim Digital 195 00:16:48,799 --> 00:16:52,039 and we have heard some of his content in the past. He did the 196 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:56,960 Shadow remake several years ago, which was a lot of fun. And so 197 00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:00,320 the pilot episode of this brand new show is dropping on the twelfth of November 198 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,920 this year, and then they're going to be crowdfunding the rest of season one 199 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:08,920 and if I remember correctly, I think they have a total of five seasons 200 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:15,039 planned for this show. So here is a little summary of this upcoming show. 201 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:21,160 Our story taking place in the nineteen thirties, will follow Arthur Mohammad, 202 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:26,200 Lola Bashir, and a wide range of colorful characters as they seek to unearth 203 00:17:26,319 --> 00:17:33,279 the shocking truth behind this ancient Mesopotamian mystery, all while facing down a violent 204 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:38,200 foe who seems to want to stop their mission no matter the cost. And 205 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:42,519 so this one also seems like another show that is aimed toward an older demographic, 206 00:17:42,559 --> 00:17:47,519 which is great. And some of the talent that you'll hear in this 207 00:17:47,559 --> 00:17:51,839 one is Caleb Bresler, who has been a guest here on the podcast before, 208 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:56,799 Jonathan Cook, who I think most everybody is familiar with by this point, 209 00:17:56,599 --> 00:18:02,440 and Graham Rowett, who we heard in the aforementioned The Shadow remake that 210 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:06,599 Jonathan Winstead produced a few years ago, and he's also been in Six Minutes 211 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:10,799 from gen Z and a lot of other things. He's an on screen actor 212 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:15,160 as well, a very accomplished actor, and so he's going to be involved 213 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:21,480 in this show. So let's give a listen to the official trailer for the 214 00:18:21,559 --> 00:18:27,400 Invictor Collective assa. Are you sure this is a good idea? That's your 215 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:33,279 adventurous spirit, mash. The only spirit here is going to be yours when 216 00:18:33,279 --> 00:18:38,160 his pit collapses. Surviving for over four thousand years, the Epic of Gilgamesh 217 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:42,799 stands as the oldest surviving literary work. Your client believes this is the place 218 00:18:42,839 --> 00:18:48,039 Gilgamesh died. With this treasure, my men may find something. The mark 219 00:18:48,039 --> 00:18:52,359 of Gilgamesh was there after all. But what if the tale of Gilgamesh was 220 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:56,880 more than just simple fantasy? Have I told you the legend of the cave 221 00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:03,839 in the middle of the desert, so treacherous the reach only few have lean 222 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,720 it back? What of it was a story carefully constructed to hide an ancient 223 00:19:07,799 --> 00:19:11,839 secret that humanity was not meant to uncover. What thing taken for you doing? 224 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:18,880 You have no idea of the true significance of Ugash. Miss Morris join 225 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:22,359 Arthur, Mohammad, Lola, and Bashir on a dangerous journey as they seek 226 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:27,599 to on earth the truth behind this Mesopotamian mystery. The Gilgamesh legends are just 227 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:32,400 a mess. What matters is that someone thinks there's something to it. That's 228 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:37,200 we're killing for. Immerse yourself in the world of the Invictor Collective, where 229 00:19:37,319 --> 00:19:44,000 archaeology, romance, and action collide in a gripping audio drama experience. The 230 00:19:44,079 --> 00:19:49,279 adventure begins on November twelfth. Wherever you get your podcasts, visit in Victimdigital 231 00:19:49,319 --> 00:19:56,839 dot com for more. As I said, Jonathan Winstead is the producer and 232 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,759 the man behind in Victim Digital and he just reaent released a podcast behind the 233 00:20:00,799 --> 00:20:06,359 scenes chat with him and one of the writers of this show. So if 234 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:07,720 you want to dive into this one and learn a little bit more about it, 235 00:20:07,759 --> 00:20:11,119 you can check that out. There is a link in the show notes 236 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:15,519 to that podcast episode, and also in the show notes is a link to 237 00:20:15,839 --> 00:20:21,119 the page for this show on the in Victim Digital website which has more of 238 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:25,640 the cast members and the full crew listed and a little bit more information about 239 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:32,640 it, including a longer teaser audio. So more information is there. But 240 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,200 this is another show that is on the horizon and you're going to get your 241 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:42,079 first taste in just a couple of days now. Winstead has been very busy 242 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:48,079 because in Victim Digital has just recently also announced another show that they're working with. 243 00:20:48,279 --> 00:20:53,799 It is called Morona Grant and the Lost Tomb of Golgotha. So for 244 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:59,480 this new show, he is teaming up with author Brina Williamson to adapt her 245 00:20:59,559 --> 00:21:03,279 novel into audio drama. Now. The pilot episode for this show is scheduled 246 00:21:03,279 --> 00:21:08,119 to come out Spring twenty twenty four, and there will be a preview showcase 247 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:14,599 at Sonicon this year, and then after this pilot comes out next year, 248 00:21:15,079 --> 00:21:18,519 they will also be crowdfunding the remaining episodes, which will complete the story from 249 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:26,400 book one, and they do have plans to continue as the author Williamson continues 250 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,720 publishing the books in this series focusing on this character of Marona Grant, they 251 00:21:30,759 --> 00:21:37,079 will continue to adapt the novels into audio drama based on the funding and the 252 00:21:37,079 --> 00:21:42,640 reception I guess of this first one, but they posted some artwork. It 253 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:48,240 looks super cool. Don't really know too much about the cast in this one, 254 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:52,680 other than that Daniel Cross is going to be involved in this one. 255 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:56,680 I think that Graham Rowett is also going to be appearing in this show, 256 00:21:57,559 --> 00:22:03,799 and maybe some others that we are familiar with. But the official summary is 257 00:22:03,519 --> 00:22:08,359 after a job turns sour, a treasure hunting mercenary is left out of dough 258 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:12,720 and sporting a shiny black eye. In other words, just another day in 259 00:22:12,799 --> 00:22:18,920 the life of nineteen thirties adventurous Morona Grant. When Presented with an opportunity for 260 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:22,480 adventure and more importantly, cash, Morona takes up the offer to follow a 261 00:22:22,519 --> 00:22:29,119 coded map and hunt down Judas Escariots infamous thirty pieces of silver, the only 262 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:36,160 caveat babysitting the expedition's financier, an elderly thrill seeking aristocrat with a propensity for 263 00:22:36,279 --> 00:22:41,039 attracting trouble. A ragtag team is assembled to complete with a loyal dog, 264 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:45,480 a stalwart pilot, a poised linguist, and a fusspot physician. But when 265 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:51,000 a hail of bullets threatens their quest before departure, it becomes blindingly clear that 266 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:56,720 ancient puzzles and booby traps will be the least of their worries. Man that 267 00:22:56,759 --> 00:23:03,400 one sounds like it's going to be a riot fighting adventure pack show. Interesting 268 00:23:03,599 --> 00:23:07,359 note that both this show and the previous one in Victor Collective are set in 269 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:12,279 the nineteen thirties, so that's an interesting little tidbit there. But more information 270 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:18,440 will be coming on that soon after the preview showcase at Soniccon than that audio 271 00:23:18,519 --> 00:23:22,200 will be released publicly, so that's something to look forward to if you're not 272 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:27,519 able to attend Sonicon. But again, these projects are both coming from in 273 00:23:27,759 --> 00:23:37,039 Victim Digital, so lots of great content on the horizon, and another one 274 00:23:37,079 --> 00:23:41,920 that is coming very soon is from the Academy of Arts. Their newest release 275 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:47,400 is The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse. No Professor Boggs again this year, 276 00:23:47,839 --> 00:23:52,599 but they are continuing with these adaptations of fables. This one is available 277 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:59,559 for pre sale right now and we'll be releasing on November fifteenth. Again, 278 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,200 it is The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse, which is adapted from the 279 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:07,440 well known Asop's fable as well as the story of the prodigal from the Book 280 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:11,880 of Luke and They said. This timeless children's tale follows one mouse's journey from 281 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:17,480 the simple, happy cornfields of the country to the fast paced opportunities of the 282 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:22,519 town as he learns that things are not always as they seem. Memorable characters, 283 00:24:22,599 --> 00:24:26,920 hilarious antics, and the valuable character lessons of contentment and sacrificial love are 284 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,759 brought to life in this original audio drama that your children will be listening to 285 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,880 and singing four years to come. So based on that, it sounds like 286 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,319 it's also going to be a musical. So this one is one that is 287 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:42,359 geared towards a younger demographic, just like their one from last year, The 288 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:48,759 Little Red hen But it's always great to see new content coming along. I 289 00:24:48,799 --> 00:24:52,880 have really appreciated all the content that the Academy of Arts has done so far, 290 00:24:52,279 --> 00:24:56,519 so I'm so glad they are continuing with the audio drama medium when they've 291 00:24:56,519 --> 00:25:00,680 got so many other projects that they are working on there. This is a 292 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,039 full fledged academy. There's all the educational aspect of what they do that is 293 00:25:04,079 --> 00:25:07,759 going on. But in case you don't know, the Academy of Arts is 294 00:25:07,799 --> 00:25:15,119 also part of the Loglass Theater, which does huge stage productions, and they 295 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,359 are the ones responsible for the stage adaptation of The Horse and His Boy, 296 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:25,079 which has been a huge hit here in recent months. And I think they're 297 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:29,359 actually touring that play right now, if I'm remembering correctly, but it was 298 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,240 in residence at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, d C. For 299 00:25:33,279 --> 00:25:34,720 a while. So anyway, they've got a lot of stuff going on, 300 00:25:34,799 --> 00:25:40,640 so I'm really glad that they are continuing to do audio drama every year as 301 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:45,240 well. So this is another one that is coming soon. And the benefit 302 00:25:45,319 --> 00:25:48,200 of purchasing during the pre sale is you do get a little bit of a 303 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:52,799 discount. I think it's five or six bucks off if you go ahead and 304 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:59,480 order it now before the release date of November fifteenth. Next up are just 305 00:25:59,599 --> 00:26:03,839 two updates on some upcoming projects which we don't have a ton of detail on. 306 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:10,599 But there is a new musical which I can't recall if I have mentioned 307 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:15,839 this in the past or not on the show, but John Fornoff and Kathy 308 00:26:15,839 --> 00:26:21,039 Buchanan worked on a musical audio drama on the life of Moses and it is 309 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:26,200 called Believing the Promise. Well, it was just recorded a few days ago 310 00:26:26,319 --> 00:26:30,480 at Salami Studios in Hollywood, if you don't know, that is where Adventures 311 00:26:30,559 --> 00:26:37,319 Odyssey is recorded and where many of the early Lamplighter Theater productions were recorded and 312 00:26:37,799 --> 00:26:42,119 some of the Extraordinary Adventures of Ga Hinty as well. But this one is 313 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:48,279 executive produced by Heidi Latreille and Betty Whitehead. It was written and directed by 314 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:53,920 Kathy Buchanan, and John Fornoff was casting director and assistant director if I have 315 00:26:55,079 --> 00:27:00,240 my information correct, And it was produced by Alan Hurley who is also doing 316 00:27:00,279 --> 00:27:06,640 sound design, with music by John Campbell. So I don't know anything about 317 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:11,359 the duration or anything any of the specifics on the script. They said it's 318 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,519 about the life of Moses, so I don't know, you know, how 319 00:27:15,559 --> 00:27:18,119 far back is it going, Is it, you know, his entire life, 320 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:19,960 all the way up to his death. I don't know for sure, 321 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:26,400 And I don't know very many of the cast members. Just a couple of 322 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:30,319 them. Few familiar names here, John Fournoff, I don't know. Maybe 323 00:27:30,319 --> 00:27:37,000 you've heard of him, He actually is voicing a few characters. Also Dominic 324 00:27:37,039 --> 00:27:41,319 Trice and Mackenzie Harris, both of whom have appeared in Lamplid's theater productions in 325 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:45,839 the past. And Tanya Joy, which is a new name to me. 326 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:51,400 I don't think I've heard of her before. But there are a couple of 327 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:56,400 others which I have heard participated in this, but I haven't seen any official 328 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,839 announcements, so I don't know if I'm supposed to say anything about their involvement 329 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,640 at this point. But that's really all we know about this production at this 330 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:07,960 point, but it is something that will be coming down the road at some 331 00:28:07,079 --> 00:28:11,759 point. Again, is called Believing the Promise, a musical audio drama on 332 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:18,519 the life of Moses. You know, I just thought of this. I've 333 00:28:18,519 --> 00:28:22,720 said for a while too, that I would love to see more musical audio 334 00:28:22,799 --> 00:28:26,519 dramas, not children's musical audio drama. There's a lot of that, and 335 00:28:26,559 --> 00:28:30,400 a lot of it is great, but you know, an audio drama that 336 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:37,039 is a musical that is aimed at an older demographic, because there are plenty 337 00:28:37,079 --> 00:28:42,279 of adults who like stage musicals. So let's see some more high quality audio 338 00:28:42,359 --> 00:28:48,039 drama musicals. So maybe this is it. I don't know the target age 339 00:28:48,079 --> 00:28:52,039 group for this show, but we will find out at some point. So 340 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:57,279 for now, we just have to wait and see. And just a couple 341 00:28:57,359 --> 00:29:03,400 of little notes on the upcoming season ten from The Brinkman Adventures. Again not 342 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,920 a whole lot of details, but just a couple of little tidbits here. 343 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:12,519 Season ten will be called Redemptive Velocity. It is fully written and some of 344 00:29:12,559 --> 00:29:18,440 the episodes have been recorded. Season ten will be featuring a ministry called Family 345 00:29:18,519 --> 00:29:26,119 Man, run by a man named Todd Wilson, and so the Wilson family 346 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:30,839 will be featured in season ten. And in the story, the Brinkman's and 347 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:37,440 the Wilsons are racing across the country and they're RVs visiting with key people along 348 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:42,599 the way, and we don't know exactly what the story is, what it 349 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:48,720 involves, but Todd Wilson plays himself in these shows and those were recorded in 350 00:29:48,839 --> 00:29:55,839 early October, and Ian said that this was the first time he's used the 351 00:29:55,839 --> 00:30:00,359 their RV as a recording studio because they do travel around the country to events 352 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:06,319 to promote the Brinkman Adventures and they travel in this RV, and he said 353 00:30:06,319 --> 00:30:10,119 it worked perfectly, so that'll be interesting to hear. He said, you 354 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:15,000 would never guess that these lines were recorded in an RV in the driveway of 355 00:30:15,079 --> 00:30:19,960 the Wilson family home, so that'll be interesting. I know that pat Roy 356 00:30:21,079 --> 00:30:26,039 did some car recording a while back for Time Chroniclers, so it can be 357 00:30:26,079 --> 00:30:30,839 done if you have the right equipment and the right sound treatment. But that'll 358 00:30:30,839 --> 00:30:36,039 be interesting to hear. And also kin Ham, the founder of the Creation 359 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:41,680 Museum and the arc Encounter, will be featured in season ten as well, 360 00:30:41,759 --> 00:30:49,599 so Ian went there to the Cincinnati area to record kin Ham on site in 361 00:30:51,039 --> 00:30:56,119 late October. So they will be recording the rest of the characters at their 362 00:30:56,160 --> 00:31:02,920 studio in Wisconsin in the coming weeks, as well as still using remote actors 363 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,759 around the country who record in their own studios. So a lot of production 364 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:12,519 time still coming on Brinkman Adventures Season ten. No release date at this point 365 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:18,519 because it still has to go through post production and everything. And of course, 366 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:25,680 speaking of post production, Josh Boltman is their primary editor and sound designer 367 00:31:25,839 --> 00:31:29,880 for the show. And just want to say real quickly, a congrats to 368 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:36,119 Josh. He recently got married this past summer. Congratulations to Josh Boldman and 369 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:44,319 his wife Tory on their wedding. Well, the last item is just more 370 00:31:44,319 --> 00:31:49,759 of a question, and that is are you interested in Greenhorn Tales CDs? 371 00:31:51,599 --> 00:31:55,720 This discussion came up a couple of people in the Audio Drama Alliance. We're 372 00:31:55,759 --> 00:32:00,920 talking about liking to have CD copies, physical copies of the audio dramas that 373 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:04,759 they enjoy. And I'm like that too. A lot of the audio dramas 374 00:32:04,799 --> 00:32:08,119 that I really like, even though I might have a digital copy or even 375 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:12,599 though I might have heard it on a podcast or something, I do like 376 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:19,480 to collect those CD copies for my collection. And so I don't recall who 377 00:32:19,519 --> 00:32:24,960 exactly it was, but asked about Greenhorn Tails CDs, and I said I 378 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:30,759 didn't know if there was any demand for them. So if you are interested 379 00:32:30,839 --> 00:32:34,759 in that, then let me know, and we can make that happen. 380 00:32:34,799 --> 00:32:38,559 If there's enough people who say they would like to have Greenhorn Tails Season one 381 00:32:38,599 --> 00:32:45,200 on CD, then we can make that happen. Well, I know that 382 00:32:45,319 --> 00:32:49,200 was a whole lot of information to get through, but I hope it was 383 00:32:49,319 --> 00:32:52,279 as exciting to you as it was to me. Seeing all that is happening 384 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:57,000 in this space. There's just some great stuff to look forward to, and 385 00:32:57,039 --> 00:33:00,720 I, for one, am really excited. But I'm also excited to bring 386 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:06,839 in our guests. Let's move into the interview segment and let's talk with Jonathan 387 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:10,920 and Alisha from Eternal Future Productions. I have some very important information and I 388 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:15,119 thought i'd be getting it into the hands of a real reporter. Sir, 389 00:33:15,599 --> 00:33:17,480 Sir, can I speak to a moment? Oh, well, there's nothing 390 00:33:17,519 --> 00:33:21,519 to it. I just ask you the questions and you answered them in the 391 00:33:21,519 --> 00:33:25,759 tape recorder. Here play the interviewer. Well. Alisha Hanson and Jonathan Cook 392 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:31,759 are the creative geniuses behind Eternal Future Productions. They're no stranger to Audio Theater 393 00:33:31,839 --> 00:33:37,720 Central. We have had them on the show in the past at our live 394 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:43,599 show from Sonic Con. But we've talked about pirateers and all of their other 395 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:49,400 projects multiple times on the podcast, so I know you are familiar with their 396 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:53,119 content, but they have a very special announcement that they wanted to make, 397 00:33:53,359 --> 00:33:58,440 and so I said, Hey, instead of me just sharing this information, 398 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:00,599 why don't you guys hop on a call. Let's let's share it at the 399 00:34:00,599 --> 00:34:04,799 same time with the audience. So, Alsia, Jonathan, thank you for 400 00:34:04,839 --> 00:34:07,519 coming on the podcast. Oh, thank you for having us. This is 401 00:34:07,559 --> 00:34:09,360 awesome. Yes, thank you so much. Excited to be here because they're 402 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:13,079 making the rounds. I mean, you were just on Audio Drama Insiders now 403 00:34:13,119 --> 00:34:19,639 atc What's next, NBC News. No, I don't know. We're open 404 00:34:19,679 --> 00:34:23,320 to anything. Hey, why wouldn't you, Yeah, just get the word 405 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:28,400 out, tell the world about audio drama and good audio drama because that's what 406 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:32,079 you guys are creating. And we're here to talk about your new show Venture 407 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:37,239 that's coming out soon. But before we get to that, I wanted to 408 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:39,400 just ask a couple of questions about some of the other stuff that you guys 409 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:45,519 have been doing. You're probably most known for Pirateers, and you guys have 410 00:34:45,599 --> 00:34:50,239 also been doing writing and acting for a lot of other shows lately. My 411 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:54,639 goodness, how do you guys keep up with all of this stuff that we 412 00:34:54,679 --> 00:34:59,039 ask ourselves that every day. Actually we're just talking about that earlier. It's 413 00:34:59,119 --> 00:35:01,639 like we have a lot going on. I think part of it helps that 414 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:08,119 this is my personally, my full time gig, so I stay home when 415 00:35:08,119 --> 00:35:12,559 my son goes to school. I began at as to stay at home mom, 416 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:19,880 and then progressively just throughout the years, specifically when my son started going 417 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:23,159 back to school in kindergarten, I began what I call my internship years, 418 00:35:24,119 --> 00:35:29,840 and I was gaining a lot of experience during that time and just self teaching, 419 00:35:30,119 --> 00:35:32,920 and also I had a couple of mentors as well, and so over 420 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,159 time, this has just become a career for me. Even back when I 421 00:35:37,199 --> 00:35:42,639 wasn't making any kind of money at all, I just had faith that this 422 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:46,079 is what God wanted me to do. And so even when it was a 423 00:35:46,119 --> 00:35:51,519 little discouraging at times, just because I was putting in so many hours during 424 00:35:51,519 --> 00:35:54,480 the day when when Eric was in school, but not you know, seeing 425 00:35:55,199 --> 00:36:00,400 a whole lot coming back from it, I just kept pressing on and and 426 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:05,719 now I'm at a point where it's getting a lot more successful, and I 427 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:07,880 just feel like this is a calling, so I have to answer your question. 428 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:12,079 I have time during the day to work on this, and so I 429 00:36:12,119 --> 00:36:16,840 guess that's how I keep up. Yeah, and it helps to that we 430 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:20,079 you know, we like what we do. It makes it fun to work 431 00:36:20,119 --> 00:36:22,320 on, so we're very passionate about it. Yeah, it's a lot of 432 00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,159 fun to work on, so we enjoy doing it. Yeah. Yeah, 433 00:36:25,199 --> 00:36:30,239 and you guys, I've been working on robin Hood and of course continuing with 434 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:35,719 Pirateiers. So we're three seasons into Pirateeers now, about halfway through or getting 435 00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:39,039 close to the end of season three here, What has been the most challenging 436 00:36:39,079 --> 00:36:43,599 part of running an ongoing series like this? I mean, this has been 437 00:36:43,639 --> 00:36:47,840 going for several years now for each of you, because you all or you 438 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:52,079 both wear multiple hats. You're not just acting or not just writing. You're 439 00:36:52,079 --> 00:36:55,159 doing everything. You know, sound design and you know all kinds of post 440 00:36:55,199 --> 00:36:59,840 production and everything. So what do you think for each of you has been 441 00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:04,519 the most challenging part of keeping this thing going? I think for me, 442 00:37:04,599 --> 00:37:07,800 it's like the writing process has been like the biggest challenge, you know, 443 00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:08,679 coming up with where do we want to go next? What do we want 444 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:10,639 these characters to do, Where do we want them to go, who do 445 00:37:10,679 --> 00:37:15,039 we want them to meet? And writing has always been kind of my biggest 446 00:37:15,119 --> 00:37:20,000 challenge, so I think that is what it is for me. I've never 447 00:37:20,519 --> 00:37:24,800 ever ventured into a series before, trying to keep a story going on and 448 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:30,360 having the characters develop and go through different experiences and have a character arc and 449 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:34,719 things. So that's definitely been a learning process for me and probably the biggest 450 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,360 challenge. Like I love the voice acting part of it. That's always the 451 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,280 blast, and I've been learning a lot with the directing and the sound design 452 00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,519 and all that, and that's a lot of fun for me. But yeah, 453 00:37:43,519 --> 00:37:47,519 the writing is where I really feel like I'm kind of like behind for 454 00:37:47,639 --> 00:37:53,159 me. I really enjoy writing, but like Jonathan, that's probably what takes 455 00:37:53,199 --> 00:37:59,760 the longest. And I think the greatest challenge for me is knowing what God 456 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:04,440 wants months over what you want to do. So just to give you an 457 00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:08,280 example of that, in season one, the final episode where we do share 458 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:15,719 the Gospel, Jonathan and I had written episode seven and got to the very 459 00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:22,519 end of it, and this is not what is actually been released. Our 460 00:38:22,679 --> 00:38:29,320 original episode or version of episode seven was completely different, and it was what 461 00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:34,159 we were writing, and we realized by the end of it it wasn't at 462 00:38:34,199 --> 00:38:39,639 all what it should be, and so we scrabbed it and I remember, 463 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:46,440 you know, really praying about it and just taking like a seven day break. 464 00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:50,800 And this actually happened mid season where we took our seven day break. 465 00:38:51,519 --> 00:38:54,199 But it all comes together with episode seven. And this was very hard for 466 00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:59,199 me because I work all the time. I'm so passionate about what I do 467 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,960 that I don't feel like it's work. And so I've had Jonathan tell me 468 00:39:04,079 --> 00:39:06,159 before, He's like, you know, you got to slow down sometimes, 469 00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:13,119 and rightfully so wise words. And so taking seven days off was very, 470 00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:16,400 very challenging for me. But what I did was I put Pirateers into a 471 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:24,400 folder called under His Wings and didn't work on it at all, and by 472 00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:31,960 day seven I suddenly felt inspired again. And this led to episode seven and 473 00:39:32,039 --> 00:39:37,079 us scrapping episode seven what we had originally and going back and rewriting it to 474 00:39:37,159 --> 00:39:43,320 what God wanted and it felt so right. So what was released is what 475 00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:49,519 we truly believe was inspiration from God. Wow. And so that's my greatest 476 00:39:49,599 --> 00:39:55,360 challenge is trying not to force what I want in there and trying to just 477 00:39:55,400 --> 00:40:00,360 sit back and let God take over. And it's challenging, but it's so 478 00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:06,400 rewarding. Yeah. Yeah, because you're not just telling a great adventure story. 479 00:40:06,679 --> 00:40:09,280 There's a deeper side to what you're doing. And yeah, that makes 480 00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:15,800 a lot of sense. Well, I'm loving the show, and the listener 481 00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:20,119 knows, of course that I've been privileged to be involved in the last couple 482 00:40:20,199 --> 00:40:23,719 of seasons and I've had a blast doing it. I think I think I 483 00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:29,800 told you, Alicia that I think it was the last episode that my character 484 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:34,880 was in in this season, that was one of the funnest audio drama parts 485 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,559 that I've ever done. I mean, there was just a great energy when 486 00:40:37,559 --> 00:40:44,920 we were recording, and it was that scene between you and I and then 487 00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:47,960 I don't know, it was a great, great moment for me, and 488 00:40:49,039 --> 00:40:52,239 I really enjoyed it. So I just want to publicly say thank you for 489 00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:53,800 allowing me to be part of the show. Oh, thank you so much. 490 00:40:54,039 --> 00:40:59,519 You have been just amazing. And that scene you were talking about, 491 00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:04,239 you blew us away with it because I just remember we were reading back and 492 00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:09,360 forth and you had said one line where what was it? There was one 493 00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:13,079 line you said, why not take control of it, I think, is 494 00:41:13,079 --> 00:41:17,360 what Smithy says. And it gave me chills, it really did. And 495 00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:22,480 so I'm not only just honored to have you involved, but I'm so proud 496 00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:27,559 of you because to see you bring this character to life has been just incredible. 497 00:41:29,039 --> 00:41:31,159 I and this is another thing that I think I may have told you, 498 00:41:31,159 --> 00:41:37,199 but I don't know for sure, but my maternal grandfather his last name 499 00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:42,559 was Smith and he went by Smitty. And so that I got to play 500 00:41:42,559 --> 00:41:47,400 this character has has really been really a cool thing for me. That I 501 00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:53,760 remember you're telling us that that was such a Well, you guys have a 502 00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:58,519 lot of stuff still yet to come this year. So we've got you know, 503 00:41:58,599 --> 00:42:00,239 Robin Hood's going to be coming out. Got you guys are working on 504 00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:06,039 Resurgence and Venture. We don't have time to go into Resurgence and everything right 505 00:42:06,079 --> 00:42:07,239 now, and I don't even know if you guys are willing to share anything 506 00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:13,039 about that, but let's let's talk about Venture. So this is a comedy 507 00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:21,480 sci fi. I mean, tell me what this show is. It's really 508 00:42:21,559 --> 00:42:28,960 a parody of the original series star Trek and I loved that show growing up, 509 00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,840 and more specifically, the New Generation was my favorite. But after the 510 00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:36,639 reboot movies of Star Trek came out, I actually began to just really appreciate 511 00:42:36,639 --> 00:42:40,199 the original series even more than the next generation Star Trek, and I just 512 00:42:40,199 --> 00:42:45,760 loved how those actors brought the story to life. And it's very sentimental to 513 00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:47,400 me because I grew up watching it with my mom. But that's what this 514 00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:52,719 series is kind of a parody of, and in the funnest way possible. 515 00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:57,559 Well, we hope. So anyway, well, yeah, we've already had 516 00:42:57,559 --> 00:42:59,360 a lot of fun already, so we hope it's gonna be fun for the 517 00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:01,199 listeners right now. Yeah, we're having a blast with it for sure. 518 00:43:01,519 --> 00:43:05,360 That's kind of how it came about too. It was just, I mean, 519 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,840 at least it's like she said, is been a big Star Trek fan, 520 00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:09,880 and we were talking about that and I was kind of doing a, 521 00:43:10,599 --> 00:43:15,000 you know, a goofy Captain Kirk impression, and she loved it and was 522 00:43:15,039 --> 00:43:16,880 like, Oh, we have to like do something with that. We should 523 00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:20,599 do a Star Trek thing, And so we started working on it, and 524 00:43:21,599 --> 00:43:24,280 it was so funny because we had come up with some ideas for it and 525 00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:29,199 even come up with the name of Captain Kurt. And right about that time, 526 00:43:29,599 --> 00:43:32,079 Glenn Haskell released his on demand series and had a very short episode in 527 00:43:32,119 --> 00:43:36,559 there that was a Star Trek parody in itself with a Captain Kurt, and 528 00:43:36,599 --> 00:43:40,000 he cast me as that character. So we were like, okay, what 529 00:43:40,079 --> 00:43:44,599 is that all about. So that led us to reach out to Glenn since 530 00:43:44,599 --> 00:43:45,920 he already had a connection with it. Well, yeah, he had a 531 00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:52,599 connection. He was reading your emails here. Knew that clearly apparently. Yeah, 532 00:43:52,639 --> 00:43:55,920 it was so fascinating to us because he had no idea. We had 533 00:43:55,960 --> 00:44:00,400 been planning venture for months, We had the graph ready, we had we 534 00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:05,400 had already begun working on the first script, and it was just taking us 535 00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:08,159 a long time to write it. And Glenn whips these scripts out like there's 536 00:44:08,199 --> 00:44:15,519 no tomorrow. He is so talented and so proficient and prolific, and so 537 00:44:15,559 --> 00:44:19,280 we just kind of took it as a sign that maybe we're meant to work 538 00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:24,719 together. And he's been just incredible to work with. So he's our series 539 00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:30,159 writer and we cannot wait to, you know, for him to write more 540 00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:36,280 scripts. Yeah, I know the feeling because working on Greenhorn Tales, you 541 00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:39,199 know, there's times where you're either going over a script or when you're recording 542 00:44:39,199 --> 00:44:42,400 it, you know you're laughing and you're like, man, this is so 543 00:44:42,519 --> 00:44:45,480 funny to me. I really hope it's funny to the people when they listen 544 00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:52,039 to it, too, Right, So let's go over the synopsis, the 545 00:44:52,079 --> 00:44:58,760 official show summary, and that is follow the us V Venture and her crew 546 00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:01,920 as they explore the Gallic See and find adventure along the way in this comedy 547 00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:07,679 space parody that boldly goes where no audio drama, or at least most audio 548 00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:13,079 dramas, have ventured before. I love that it's hilarious, and I'm hoping 549 00:45:13,119 --> 00:45:17,599 that that's a taste of what we're going to get throughout this show. Hopefully 550 00:45:17,639 --> 00:45:23,079 it is. Yes, So I guess the big question is can non Trekkies 551 00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:29,679 enjoy this show? Is it so dependent on the source material that it's parodying 552 00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:32,119 that people who are not familiar with it will will not get the jokes. 553 00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:38,719 I think people who've never even maybe seen an episode of Star Trek in their 554 00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:44,280 life, I think they can appreciate it because the humor it'll be like Easter 555 00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:45,599 aches. For people who have seen Star Trek will be like, oh, 556 00:45:45,639 --> 00:45:51,840 okay, I I recognize that, you know, Kirk's slow speech pattern. 557 00:45:52,639 --> 00:45:57,440 He's a bit notorious for William Shatner is, and so I do think a 558 00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:00,960 lot of the jokes, just the humor is lighthearted enough in general enough that 559 00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:06,119 people can appreciate it at surface value. And then we also have other surprises 560 00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:09,679 in the mix, like surprise characters that we won't even be listing today because 561 00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:14,599 we want to keep them a surprise. And there are people outside of the 562 00:46:14,639 --> 00:46:19,679 star Trek genre that I could probably appreciate those ones. Oh interesting. Yeah. 563 00:46:19,679 --> 00:46:22,079 We tried to keep each script, which Glenn did a great job of, 564 00:46:22,159 --> 00:46:25,599 like Alicia said, humorous and funny that anybody can enjoy it. It'll 565 00:46:25,639 --> 00:46:29,440 just be sort of an added layer of humor. I think if you're familiar 566 00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:31,280 with the series at all and familiar with the characters. So, how many 567 00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:37,079 episodes are we talking about and is this going to be a multi season show 568 00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:42,400 like Pirateers or is this just a finite number of episodes that you have planned 569 00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:47,199 So far we have ten written and their standalone episodes, so really a listener 570 00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:52,960 could come in at just about any point and listen to them. However they 571 00:46:52,039 --> 00:47:00,079 do. Glenn did a really good job making references to previous episodes and so 572 00:47:00,119 --> 00:47:04,840 if you do begin listening to them, there's that connection. We do hope 573 00:47:05,039 --> 00:47:08,079 that after these first ten episodes that will just continue as long as we'll kind 574 00:47:08,079 --> 00:47:13,960 of see how it's received and after these first ten episodes and if people are 575 00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:15,679 really enjoying it, then we've already talked to Glenn and said we would love 576 00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:19,679 for him to write some more if he's interested, and so we'll go from 577 00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:22,559 there. But it can kind of, you know, has potential to go 578 00:47:22,599 --> 00:47:28,519 on indefinitely, just because there's so much potential to cover multi universes, different 579 00:47:28,559 --> 00:47:31,159 dimensions and all that. Yeah, but you know, we could always stick 580 00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:35,480 to ten if people don't like it. So if it turns out to be 581 00:47:35,519 --> 00:47:40,880 that scenario where we think it's really funny and everybody else is going, yeah, 582 00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:45,920 well cool. So you guys shared the list of actors not long ago, 583 00:47:46,639 --> 00:47:51,079 and there are some great names on there. Daniel Cross, you got 584 00:47:51,119 --> 00:47:58,519 Caro O'Brien, Stacy Bradshaw, a lot of names that people are very familiar 585 00:47:58,559 --> 00:48:02,599 with. Yeah, and of course you guys are both playing characters as well, 586 00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:09,440 but we still don't know who is playing which characters and which characters are 587 00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:16,000 series regulars and which might be bit parts or supporting characters. So that's what 588 00:48:16,079 --> 00:48:21,639 we're here for, so take it away. Let's go over this cast list 589 00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:25,480 and share with the listener all about the amazing talent you have on this show. 590 00:48:27,119 --> 00:48:30,159 Yeah, that's an understatement. We were incredibly blessed with the cast that 591 00:48:30,199 --> 00:48:34,559 we rounded up and actually came to us. We had a bunch of people 592 00:48:34,639 --> 00:48:37,280 saying, you know, they would love to work with us and be interested 593 00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:40,519 with it, so we are incredibly lucky to have this super talented cast. 594 00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:45,119 I guess we'll just go alphabetically here on this list, starting with Bethany Baldwin. 595 00:48:45,639 --> 00:48:50,960 She's going to play a species called the Barkhisians, so that she'll be 596 00:48:51,199 --> 00:48:55,719 Barkisian one and Crewman three and then also women one, So those are kind 597 00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:59,079 of some smaller roles bit parts that she'll be playing, but she's also going 598 00:48:59,119 --> 00:49:02,960 to be playing a larger character named Wanda, who the crew will encounter along 599 00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:07,639 the way. We'll also have Rebecca Bradford, who many of you know from 600 00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:12,679 the Nick Guys series, working with Frank Cooley, and she's going to be 601 00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:19,840 a crewman and a character Comedian one and also an officer named Dixon. Awesome. 602 00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:22,840 Yeah. And then we have Stacey Bradshaw you mentioned, and she's another 603 00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:29,000 Barkisian. She'll be Barkisian two and another role of woman to woman too. 604 00:49:29,079 --> 00:49:35,639 Yeah. And then she'll have a more significant character named May who will be 605 00:49:35,679 --> 00:49:39,039 a primary character in one episode. And then the next guy on this list 606 00:49:39,039 --> 00:49:44,880 we don't really have to talk about. His name is Jonathan Cook. He's 607 00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:49,119 kind of a kind of a diva, real difficult to work with, completely 608 00:49:49,119 --> 00:49:54,320 the opposite of a diva. He's too humble U. But yeah, I'll 609 00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:59,559 be voicing Captain Kurt, who is of course a parody of Captain Kirk that 610 00:49:59,559 --> 00:50:02,880 everybody or most people are familiar with, at least even if they're not overly 611 00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:07,599 familiar with the series like myself. I didn't watch a whole lot of it 612 00:50:07,639 --> 00:50:09,880 growing up, but you know, I have seen several other parodies to know 613 00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:15,440 of it, and also be voicing Lieutenant you who who is a parody of 614 00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:22,360 Zulu from the original series. And another character named Billy who's kind of a 615 00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:25,039 one off in an episode. And then we come to Daniel Cross, who 616 00:50:25,079 --> 00:50:30,440 you mentioned. Amazing talent, and he is going to be a character named 617 00:50:30,519 --> 00:50:35,760 Cain, he's one of our villains. And also he's going to be doctor 618 00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:38,400 mcshi who is a parody of doctor McCoy. We thought it would be funny 619 00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:45,039 to go coy shy ha ha ha little bit. And he'll also be playing 620 00:50:45,079 --> 00:50:51,639 Engineer Scotch, which is of course after mister Scott. We always heard the 621 00:50:51,679 --> 00:50:55,320 joke about. I think it's Mike Myers who always said people are Scott. 622 00:50:55,800 --> 00:51:02,000 Scotch is a drink and a sticky tape. We went with that. That's 623 00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:07,559 kind of a launch pad for that was like, let's make it confusing in 624 00:51:07,599 --> 00:51:12,320 Colin Scotch. And then we have Christopher Green, who I think you know 625 00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:16,159 pretty well from your own work, and he'll be voicing a character named Rodney, 626 00:51:16,559 --> 00:51:21,239 which she did a fun job with that one. That's a comedian yep. 627 00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:25,639 And then we have oh yeah, and then we have another name, 628 00:51:25,679 --> 00:51:31,719 Alicia Hanson who you may have may not have heard of, and she's going 629 00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:37,239 to be voicing a character named Cambium who is in a significant part in one 630 00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:43,119 episode of an alien species that they encounter and we'll have to, you know, 631 00:51:43,519 --> 00:51:46,960 figure out. And then we have Elizabeth Hanson, who many know from 632 00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:52,199 several series and stuff, but she's also of course the person behind drama FI 633 00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:55,960 and runs all that. She's going to be playing a character named Commander Burns. 634 00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:00,039 It's a very strong character and she did a really great job with that 635 00:52:00,079 --> 00:52:04,599 one. Yeah, she's perfect for the character. Yeah, someone who comes 636 00:52:04,639 --> 00:52:07,840 in and choose out the captain and you know, has to go through all 637 00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:13,199 that stuff. So she was perfect. And then we have Craig Hart, 638 00:52:13,519 --> 00:52:17,920 who was another familiar name through his own legacy radio theater productions and who we 639 00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:22,000 are working with on Robin Hood. But he's going to be our mister Spock. 640 00:52:22,039 --> 00:52:28,639 He's going to be playing Commander Sock in our series. And then we 641 00:52:28,679 --> 00:52:30,800 have Glenn Haskell, who we have mentioned already multiple times as the writer. 642 00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:36,840 He's going to be a character named Grandpa one, which is another species that 643 00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:40,159 they run into. It's not literally a grandpa's and a grandfather. The name 644 00:52:40,199 --> 00:52:45,239 of the species is Grandpa and we also he's going to be Grandpa one. 645 00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:47,280 And then we have a Grandpa two, who is a female that kiro O'Brian 646 00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:50,840 will be playing. We'll get to that minute. So anyway, it's the 647 00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:54,760 species, not a grandfather. And then we have an actress named Rose Hunt 648 00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:59,079 person. This is the first time we've ever worked with her. She is 649 00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:05,079 mostly a TV film actress but is branching out into voiceover and was really really 650 00:53:05,079 --> 00:53:07,840 excited to work with us on this and kind of, you know, get 651 00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:12,559 a jump start on her voice acting. And so we've been working with her 652 00:53:12,559 --> 00:53:15,280 and she's going to be Lieutenant I Hear You, which is a parody of 653 00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:20,960 Lieutenant Uhura from the main Crew, and we're really excited to work with her. 654 00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:25,400 She her audition was was really really good, and she's been upgrading her 655 00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:30,599 her sound equipment and getting a whole voice acting booth set up and everything just 656 00:53:30,639 --> 00:53:34,679 for this, which is great fun. Wow, yeah, really so fun 657 00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:37,440 to hear her in this. And then we have Jody Krankle, who was 658 00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:42,719 an actress and a friend of Alicia's who she's worked the times. Yeah, 659 00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:46,440 she's very talented. She does a lot of audiobooks and narration work, and 660 00:53:46,679 --> 00:53:51,639 she's trying to branch out more into character stuff and was really really excited. 661 00:53:51,679 --> 00:53:53,840 She's also another Star Trek fan, and she was a Star Trek fan. 662 00:53:54,079 --> 00:53:58,039 She was very eager to jump on board, and so she's going to be 663 00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:00,440 a nurse Bethel, who was a parody of Nurse Chapel, who was a 664 00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:05,880 pretty prominent character in the original series, and she did a great job with 665 00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:09,800 that. And then we have Cracked. I had way too much fun with 666 00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:16,280 these what can we find? That's kind of well, we both did, 667 00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:22,400 but yeah, I'm all about puns and silly humors, so this was right 668 00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:30,800 up my alley. And then we have Nathan Marlette who has been working with 669 00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:34,559 Glenn Haskell on his Dragnet series and I know he's working on some other audio 670 00:54:34,639 --> 00:54:37,079 dramas as well, and he's going to be playing a couple of characters, 671 00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:42,159 one being Carter, who's kind of an ensign, a new recruit character on 672 00:54:42,199 --> 00:54:45,159 the crew. And then he's also going to be playing a character named Wonk, 673 00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:50,079 which is our our version of a kling On character. So he gets 674 00:54:50,079 --> 00:54:53,000 to be all growley and cranky with the crew and do all those you know, 675 00:54:53,159 --> 00:54:57,800 deep main voices. But he had a lot of fun with that. 676 00:54:57,920 --> 00:54:59,960 Yeah, he had a lot of fun with the audition and we loved it. 677 00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:04,920 And we have Betsy Nicholson who is getting started with the voice acting too, 678 00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:08,360 and she is a really good actors. She's got so much energy and 679 00:55:08,599 --> 00:55:12,480 we're really excited to see hear her in this. And she's going to be 680 00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:15,960 playing two characters, one named Amy and one named Serena, and they are 681 00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:22,239 kind of puller opposites. Amy's a super cheery, energetic, go get him 682 00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:27,440 and then Serena is a much more serious, almost villainous role, and she 683 00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:30,679 did a great job with both of them. Then we have Kira O'Brien, 684 00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:32,599 who I mentioned earlier. She's going to be our grandpa too, which again 685 00:55:32,679 --> 00:55:37,639 is the species, so she's not actually grandfather. And she's also going to 686 00:55:37,679 --> 00:55:40,519 be the voice of our ship's computer. I don't know if you've ever heard 687 00:55:40,559 --> 00:55:45,920 Kira do a computer voice, but it's pretty mind blowing. Yeah. So 688 00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:49,159 didn't she do the voice of the car and undercover engagement. She did, 689 00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:53,280 Yes, Yeah, and she sounds just like you know, a Siri or 690 00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:59,280 any of those AI voices, and she nails it with the delivery, so 691 00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:04,519 we're excited to have her. We've got Dominic Trace as our insign check out, 692 00:56:04,519 --> 00:56:07,400 who is a parody of Chekhov from the original one. So he gets 693 00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:12,039 to Flex's Russian accent, which was fun. He just got done doing that 694 00:56:12,079 --> 00:56:15,599 with a lamp lighter production, so I think Betsy was in that one too 695 00:56:15,679 --> 00:56:16,840 with him, wasn't she. Yeah, you're right, you're right, she 696 00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:20,960 was. I forget about that. And she was in the eighty eight production 697 00:56:21,079 --> 00:56:24,519 of The Most Important Passover earlier this year. She was, I forgot all 698 00:56:24,559 --> 00:56:29,880 these credits. She's so talented. But yeah, so we're excited to have 699 00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:31,079 Dominic. He did a great job with it. We've already heard some of 700 00:56:31,119 --> 00:56:35,679 his lines that he's been sending in and he's he's so great. It's a 701 00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:38,519 very good Russian accent. Yes. And then we have Frank Yuley, who, 702 00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:44,280 again many of you know from Nick Guy and several other productions. He's 703 00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:46,679 been character He does character work all over the place. He did some with 704 00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:51,679 Glenn Haskell and hit the on demand stuff as well. And he's going to 705 00:56:51,719 --> 00:56:55,039 be a couple of smaller characters Alien one, Pilot one and Pilot two, 706 00:56:55,119 --> 00:56:59,960 and a jazz musician. He did a great job with all of them, 707 00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:04,119 and he you know, he's got a lot of range, and so it's 708 00:57:04,119 --> 00:57:07,840 fun to hear him a lot of different voice for each character. And he's 709 00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:14,800 also producing some of the music for Venture and then whatever he can't produce because 710 00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:17,280 of time constraints. Yeah, he's got his own show or something. Yeah, 711 00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:21,719 he's got on his own show, you know, but he's happy to 712 00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:24,119 help us out with some music. And then we're just going to supplement with 713 00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:29,559 licensed music where he's not able to do it, but we're so excited to 714 00:57:29,599 --> 00:57:31,119 have him on board for that too. Yeah. Cool, that'd be really 715 00:57:31,159 --> 00:57:36,119 good. Always fun to work with him. And next up we have Jonathan 716 00:57:36,159 --> 00:57:39,559 Winstead, who is another audio drama producer in his own right working on a 717 00:57:39,639 --> 00:57:45,599 couple of audio yeah, and also very talented voice actor. He was. 718 00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:47,679 We were so happy to have him aboard and he did such a great job 719 00:57:47,719 --> 00:57:52,159 with these. He's going to be playing a character alien to and then a 720 00:57:52,199 --> 00:57:57,119 minor character named Tanseling who appears in one episode, and then a more significant 721 00:57:57,159 --> 00:58:00,480 character named William, who's also in one episode, but it's a bigger role 722 00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:07,960 and he did an amazing Jobathan. Jonathan mentioned May earlier and Stacy Bradshaw's playing 723 00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:12,360 May Well. Jonathan Winstead is William who is the husband of May. Just 724 00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:15,480 so well understand what that connection is. Cool? Cool? Yeah, So 725 00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:22,119 I met Jonathan at Soniccon and saw him perform live at the New Works Festival. 726 00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:25,239 Dude is a great actor. He's really good. We met him there 727 00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:30,079 for the first time as well, and the super nice guy awesome. Yeah. 728 00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:31,840 Yeah, yeah, So we're really excited to work on this with him 729 00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:37,719 and hopefully we can kind of build that relationship some more. Yeah. And 730 00:58:37,199 --> 00:58:40,519 last, but not least, we have Matthew Warner, who is also another 731 00:58:40,559 --> 00:58:45,039 audio drama producer. You know, you work on some other people's projects and 732 00:58:45,039 --> 00:58:47,079 get to know him, and then they come and work on your project, 733 00:58:47,119 --> 00:58:50,840 so it's kind of a give and take, and that's exactly what happened here. 734 00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:53,880 He's going to be another Barkhisian, which is the species I mentioned earlier. 735 00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:58,559 He's Barkisian three, and he's going to be crewman number two. And 736 00:58:58,599 --> 00:59:01,000 then he has a more significant in one episode with a character named Paul, 737 00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:06,920 who is a guy they run into on a planet and have to connect. 738 00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:09,159 Yeah. Well, he's not really a comedian, We don't very much away. 739 00:59:09,199 --> 00:59:12,440 He's trying to be. He's trying real hard to be a comedians so 740 00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:14,960 he's got some pretty lame jokes in there, but yeah, Math does a 741 00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:17,679 great job with it. Yeah, and that's the list. That's everybody. 742 00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:22,280 So that's a long list of characters we had a lot to keep up with. 743 00:59:22,559 --> 00:59:27,039 Yeah, man, so great, great people in there, and they're 744 00:59:27,039 --> 00:59:30,320 all good actors and it's and they're just fun people too. I mean, 745 00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:36,079 I know many of these people, and actually I think I might know all 746 00:59:36,119 --> 00:59:38,199 of them. Well, no, I don't. I don't know Jody. 747 00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:42,280 We've communicated a little bit, but I don't really know her all that much. 748 00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:46,440 But pretty much everybody else I know. And it's always fun to work 749 00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:52,519 on stuff with people that you like and they're just fun to be around, 750 00:59:52,559 --> 00:59:55,000 and so it just makes the whole process even more fun. Yeah, it 751 00:59:55,039 --> 00:59:59,639 absolutely doesn't. It inspires creativity too, because you can share ideas with people 752 00:59:59,639 --> 01:00:02,880 that you know a lot more comfortably and and it just it ends up being 753 01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:07,119 a lot of fun. Yeah. And it's wonderful when you when you can 754 01:00:07,159 --> 01:00:10,440 meet new voice actors that you know become a part of our circle, our 755 01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:15,599 community, and people like Jodi, who I've worked with just for years now 756 01:00:15,639 --> 01:00:17,880 on my projects. I'm so glad that she gets to be a part of 757 01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:22,039 this. And just a little fun, little fat a little fun fact I 758 01:00:22,039 --> 01:00:24,840 want to share, since we are on the subject of Star Trek is I'm 759 01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:30,719 actually going to have an opportunity to meet William Shatner. Not me personally, 760 01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:34,679 but it's at like an event and they're going to be playing the Wrath of 761 01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:37,519 Kahn movie and then afterwards he's supposed to come up on the stage. And 762 01:00:38,199 --> 01:00:44,199 I bit the bullet and I said, I this was on my bucket list, 763 01:00:44,239 --> 01:00:47,119 and so I am going to get a picture with him. And there's 764 01:00:47,119 --> 01:00:50,559 going to be a PEXI one of what do they call those those little thin 765 01:00:50,639 --> 01:00:54,559 glasses. They have a plexiglass shield to make the COVID restrictions. And because 766 01:00:54,559 --> 01:00:59,239 he's in his nineties now, and I thought about it, I was like, 767 01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:01,360 that's okay, because I'm just gonna do the Rathacon moment on that glass 768 01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:05,679 and see if he'll, like, you know, do that with me where 769 01:01:06,039 --> 01:01:09,519 there's that scene with Spock and Kirk and it's a it's actually a heartbreaking scene 770 01:01:09,719 --> 01:01:15,119 where Spock, you know, he saved everybody, but now he's got radiation 771 01:01:15,199 --> 01:01:19,039 poisoning and they put their hands on the glass and so some people may not 772 01:01:19,079 --> 01:01:28,920 have seen that movie spoiler, sorry, but I am going to try to 773 01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:32,760 imitate that moment. Since we've got the glass between William Shatner and myself, 774 01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:36,440 there you go. At least I wasn't a spoiler alert for our series. 775 01:01:36,519 --> 01:01:38,519 We don't have that plotline going somewhere. No, yeah, we do not 776 01:01:38,559 --> 01:01:45,559 have that plotline. Oh that's fun. Well, so you guys said you're 777 01:01:45,599 --> 01:01:50,079 about halfway through a recording of the of the ten episodes. Is that correct? 778 01:01:50,840 --> 01:01:54,840 Yes, we got about half of the recordings in and just what we've 779 01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:59,280 heard so far is just outstanding. So we're just going to keep, you 780 01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:02,000 know, for more of those to come in, and we're trying to get 781 01:02:02,039 --> 01:02:06,840 all the recording done for the ten episodes and then we're going to start like 782 01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:09,079 producing it. Yeah. I kind of work on multiple episodes at once. 783 01:02:09,119 --> 01:02:14,960 So yeah, we have a lot of the minor characters already in. People 784 01:02:15,039 --> 01:02:17,320 have been recording those like crazy. So we're excited. I think, get 785 01:02:17,320 --> 01:02:22,119 to work on it now. If I remember correctly, you said you're going 786 01:02:22,199 --> 01:02:28,280 to or the goal is to drop the first episode on a particular Star Trek 787 01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:32,239 anniversary date or something, is correct. Yes, I believe it was September 788 01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:36,159 eighth. Was it September eighth, Jonathan? I believe so, I believe 789 01:02:36,199 --> 01:02:39,159 that was the original date. Yeah, because that's the first Yeah, the 790 01:02:39,159 --> 01:02:45,079 anniversary day of when the first episode of the original series was released. So, 791 01:02:45,559 --> 01:02:47,719 as you may have surmised, we are a bit behind schedule. Oh, 792 01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:52,079 I was thinking we're going to have to wait another year or something before 793 01:02:52,079 --> 01:02:58,639 that, I think, yeah, you know, it just it took us 794 01:02:58,679 --> 01:03:01,000 a long time to find just the right pace and to you know, when 795 01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:05,400 we had a bunch of other projects pop up too, or working on Robin 796 01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:07,360 Hood, so I just you know, started piling up and we're like, 797 01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:10,800 we can't quite get this going as fast as we would like. So I'm 798 01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:15,440 sure you're familiar with that story. Oh yeah, yeah, yep. So 799 01:03:15,639 --> 01:03:19,360 it will it be next year or will it be later this year? Do 800 01:03:19,400 --> 01:03:22,840 you have any idea at this point or no? At this point, I'm 801 01:03:22,039 --> 01:03:25,639 hopeful and you know that we can at least release one episode and since they 802 01:03:25,639 --> 01:03:30,880 are standalone episodes, but I would be okay if we got them produced and 803 01:03:30,159 --> 01:03:34,880 just began releasing it in January. Yeah, and that might be the best 804 01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:37,920 way to go. So we're working very hard on it, and even if 805 01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:39,960 we don't release it till January, just know that we'll at least probably have 806 01:03:40,159 --> 01:03:44,280 a couple episodes in the queue before we start releasing it. Is it is 807 01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:49,400 coming, It is making progress, we promise. Oh, this is exciting. 808 01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:52,480 I'm looking forward to it. But I've said on the show before, 809 01:03:52,519 --> 01:03:54,719 I'm not familiar with Star Trek. I mean, I know of the show. 810 01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:58,800 I've heard people talk about it. It's you know, it has permeated 811 01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:02,440 pop culture, but I've never I've never seen it. But I'm looking forward 812 01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:06,320 to because I always love comedies and I know that you guys have put a 813 01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:11,960 lot of work into this and Glenn Wright's great comedy, so I know it's 814 01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:15,400 going to be a lot of fun. And I'm assuming that it'll all be 815 01:04:15,559 --> 01:04:20,360 at the website Eternal Future Productions dot com. It will be yes, excellent, 816 01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:24,760 excellent. And I like that they're going to be standalone episodes, so 817 01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:29,880 even if there's there's gaps between episodes, you can still just go back and 818 01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:33,800 relisten to that one and enjoy the story all over again. Yeah, yep, 819 01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:36,719 for sure. And it makes it easier for the listener too. If 820 01:04:36,719 --> 01:04:39,719 they, you know, happen to miss a couple episodes, you know, 821 01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:43,760 you don't, you don't. You're not left wondering like what happened? How 822 01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:45,960 did they get there? You know, everything's all every each episode is its 823 01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:50,559 own little adventure. So that's great. I think it's a smart choice for 824 01:04:50,559 --> 01:04:56,400 for marketing to try to get some new people introduced to audio drama. So 825 01:04:56,679 --> 01:05:00,559 great job there, thank you. Yeah, and that was a big idea 826 01:05:00,559 --> 01:05:03,159 of Alicius too, was to try and do something that had a pretty solid 827 01:05:03,199 --> 01:05:06,679 fan base already. You know, we might pull some people in and get 828 01:05:06,719 --> 01:05:11,760 them to listen to hopefully some of our other stuff as well. You know, 829 01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:14,880 we're keeping this one family friendly, but it's not necessarily faith based, 830 01:05:15,159 --> 01:05:16,519 but we thought, you know, put something out there that people might be 831 01:05:16,519 --> 01:05:19,840 interested in that would lure them in and maybe they'll listen to pirateers as well 832 01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:24,039 and hear the gospel, so that would be a win win, Yeah, 833 01:05:24,039 --> 01:05:28,639 exactly. It's actually that's really our purpose behind venture is that it's more of 834 01:05:28,679 --> 01:05:32,880 an outreach project. So even if it's not faith based, it's very intentional 835 01:05:33,159 --> 01:05:36,599 in trying to bring in more listeners to pirateers where they can hear the gospel 836 01:05:36,760 --> 01:05:41,079 or even marry holiday because that the gospel is so clear in that one too. 837 01:05:41,639 --> 01:05:44,360 So yeah, there's a purpose behind this one too. It's a sneaky 838 01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:48,320 purpose, but it's a purpose. Well, I'm looking forward to it, 839 01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:53,440 and I really appreciate you guys coming on the show to tell the ATC community 840 01:05:53,480 --> 01:05:57,199 about what's going on. And I said it already, but I'm looking forward 841 01:05:57,199 --> 01:06:00,760 to it. I really am excited about this. So thanks again. Oh, 842 01:06:00,840 --> 01:06:03,079 thank you. We appreciate you having so much for everything that you do 843 01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:05,960 for this community. We appreciate you so much. Yes, you are an 844 01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:14,400 amazing individual. Oh stop it, well, you come on. We like 845 01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:18,280 dushing over you. All the listeners can't see it, but I think Jad's 846 01:06:18,280 --> 01:06:28,320 turning red. I think we'll just stop right now. That's a good place 847 01:06:28,320 --> 01:06:38,039 to stop. So what are you thinking of the show? Please leave your 848 01:06:38,079 --> 01:06:42,360 message after the show. Hi Central, Hey guys, this is awesome. 849 01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:46,519 He about J d Roy Andrew Minum is Victoria Now. Yesterday I received a 850 01:06:46,599 --> 01:06:51,199 letter from a big band. No time to I've got an emails another package 851 01:06:51,199 --> 01:06:58,159 for me today actly just your mail. Yes, it is time to hear 852 01:06:58,559 --> 01:07:01,519 from you, the listener. I always appreciate when you take the time to 853 01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:04,760 send in feedback on the show. If you get a question, or if 854 01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:09,639 you just want to share some information about an audio drama, whatever it might 855 01:07:09,679 --> 01:07:13,280 be. I love to hear from you, and today we have a question 856 01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:17,440 from Blake, he said, taking it back to Heirloom Audio's Captain Bailey's Heir 857 01:07:17,519 --> 01:07:23,199 from twenty sixteen. There is a scene on the first disc, fifth track 858 01:07:23,800 --> 01:07:27,400 where Frank and the boys go to a tavern where people are speaking against the 859 01:07:27,480 --> 01:07:30,559 government. I listened to this production with some friends and their kids, and 860 01:07:30,639 --> 01:07:33,840 quite a few people had a hard time understanding some of the dialogue during the 861 01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:39,920 scene after Frank shouts rubbish, I can almost make out the part where a 862 01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:45,119 character played by Andrew Harrison says it appears there's a spy. My friends and 863 01:07:45,159 --> 01:07:49,360 the kids said they couldn't understand it because the Andrew Harrison character was too quiet. 864 01:07:50,079 --> 01:07:54,239 It sounded as if Andrew Harrison went over to the other side of the 865 01:07:54,320 --> 01:07:58,199 room and started shouting. What do you think of the way they handled the 866 01:07:58,239 --> 01:08:03,079 scene? How would you have done the tracks differently? So it had been 867 01:08:03,159 --> 01:08:05,880 quite some time since I listened to this audio drama, so I pulled it 868 01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:11,880 up and went back and listened to this scene, and I also did have 869 01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:15,640 some trouble understanding some of the dialogue in this area. Now, he said 870 01:08:15,640 --> 01:08:19,159 that it sounded like Andrew Harrison the actor went over to the other side of 871 01:08:19,199 --> 01:08:25,239 the room. Now, I do know that the sound designer Rob Jorgensen did 872 01:08:25,479 --> 01:08:30,800 do some binurmal audio recordings for this audio drama. I do not know if 873 01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:34,520 this particular scene was one of them, but I know that they did experiment 874 01:08:34,560 --> 01:08:39,640 with some of that in this audio drama. So maybe that's what you're hearing, 875 01:08:40,279 --> 01:08:45,680 that they had the actor panned to one side or something in this scene. 876 01:08:45,119 --> 01:08:49,039 But let's actually give a listen to a clip from this scene so we 877 01:08:49,079 --> 01:08:54,880 can chat about it a little bit more and everyone can hear what we are 878 01:08:54,920 --> 01:09:02,800 referring to mine at the hideous slavery by which we are condemned by a tyrannical 879 01:09:03,119 --> 01:09:19,399 as the time has come right trains to be broken shell times that bloodstained WILLI 880 01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:31,039 known as the British constitution, to be rich and templed under Fuch being so 881 01:09:31,399 --> 01:09:39,880 rubbish rank elish mind women turn him out, you're not him down. He's 882 01:09:39,920 --> 01:09:49,720 a smart line on this tottery. Government has included upon our assembly, are 883 01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:59,760 you not mine? An? So I don't know if you're like me, 884 01:10:00,119 --> 01:10:03,840 but some of that was a little bit hard to catch. Now you said 885 01:10:03,880 --> 01:10:10,119 that after Frank shouts rubbish that you thought the line was it appears there's a 886 01:10:10,159 --> 01:10:13,880 spy. I was able to make out that he says, it appears a 887 01:10:13,920 --> 01:10:18,479 spy from this tottering government has intruded upon our assembly. Well, I tell 888 01:10:18,520 --> 01:10:24,800 you now, intruder, I fear you not. And then there are some 889 01:10:24,840 --> 01:10:28,479 more shouting and things like that, get rid of him or something like that. 890 01:10:29,039 --> 01:10:33,439 But it did take me a couple listens to pick out that entire line 891 01:10:33,479 --> 01:10:40,279 there, and some of the other ones. The murmuring I couldn't understand at 892 01:10:40,319 --> 01:10:45,319 all. And I did think that this character is mixed down a little bit 893 01:10:45,399 --> 01:10:50,880 low. Now, some of the other lines in the background maybe were not 894 01:10:51,039 --> 01:10:56,439 intended for you to actually decipher what is being said. It's more meant just 895 01:10:56,560 --> 01:11:00,760 for just murmuring of voices and background and stuff like that. Obviously they are 896 01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:05,319 saying things, but it may not have been intended to be heard. But 897 01:11:05,399 --> 01:11:13,199 some of those lines you can tell that they are full scripted lines that were 898 01:11:13,359 --> 01:11:16,600 supposed to be part of the scene. And I couldn't make it all out 899 01:11:17,239 --> 01:11:23,159 at the first part of this before Frank shouts rubbish, So some of that 900 01:11:23,399 --> 01:11:26,319 I didn't pick up either. So what do I think of the way they 901 01:11:26,359 --> 01:11:31,920 handled that scene. I honestly don't recall picking up on that issue at all 902 01:11:32,039 --> 01:11:36,119 back when I first heard it or when we reviewed it. But when you 903 01:11:36,199 --> 01:11:39,399 brought it up and I listened back, I'm like, you know what, 904 01:11:40,159 --> 01:11:44,439 that was a little bit hard to understand. Now. I don't know if 905 01:11:44,479 --> 01:11:49,199 any of the words that are missed there are vital to the plot. Probably 906 01:11:49,239 --> 01:11:54,399 not, because again I don't even remember having this come up as an issue 907 01:11:54,399 --> 01:12:00,159 before and not understanding what was going on. But maybe there could have and 908 01:12:00,239 --> 01:12:04,600 some changes on this one a little bit to have those voices a little clearer. 909 01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:09,520 And you asked, how would I have done the voice tracks differently, 910 01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:13,520 Well, maybe that's what I would have done, is mixed that up a 911 01:12:13,560 --> 01:12:16,600 little bit higher so that it was a little clearer. And you know, 912 01:12:17,039 --> 01:12:21,199 when you are working on a project, whether you are the writer or director 913 01:12:21,319 --> 01:12:26,800 or sound designer, you're working with the script, so you know what is 914 01:12:26,840 --> 01:12:32,720 being said, and it doesn't always register to a person who is working on 915 01:12:32,760 --> 01:12:39,159 this repeatedly. You know, they're not just breezing through and spending a few 916 01:12:39,159 --> 01:12:46,159 minutes on these scenes. They're spending hours working on these audio dramas, and 917 01:12:46,199 --> 01:12:51,720 so they are hearing these lines over and over and over as they're tweaking things 918 01:12:51,760 --> 01:13:00,239 and moving sound effects around and adding vocal effects to the actors' voices and all 919 01:13:00,239 --> 01:13:02,279 of this stuff. They're hearing this stuff over and over and over, so 920 01:13:02,359 --> 01:13:05,039 they get to the point where they know what is happening in the scene, 921 01:13:05,359 --> 01:13:11,119 They know the script, they haven't memorized almost. I know this because this 922 01:13:11,239 --> 01:13:15,119 happens to me when I'm working on something as well. So when you finally 923 01:13:15,119 --> 01:13:17,880 get the mix done and you listen back to it and you're like, Okay, 924 01:13:17,880 --> 01:13:24,000 cool, that sounds good, you don't always think about it from the 925 01:13:24,039 --> 01:13:29,000 perspective of somebody who doesn't know this material and is hearing it for the very 926 01:13:29,039 --> 01:13:33,560 first time. And so maybe that is what happened here. Some of the 927 01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:39,319 dialogue is a little muddy and gets lost in the scene and a lot of 928 01:13:39,319 --> 01:13:44,199 other sound effects going on, and so somebody like us, the first time 929 01:13:44,279 --> 01:13:48,840 listener comes in might not catch everything. So is it a bad thing? 930 01:13:49,359 --> 01:13:54,960 I don't really know. I guess that is up to us as listeners to 931 01:13:55,039 --> 01:13:59,000 decide. To me, as I said before, I didn't pick up on 932 01:13:59,039 --> 01:14:01,399 this as being an issue when I first heard the show. I still very 933 01:14:01,479 --> 01:14:06,239 much enjoyed this audio drama, so it didn't detract for me. But as 934 01:14:06,279 --> 01:14:11,119 you mentioned, Blake, for you and your friends and their kids who couldn't 935 01:14:11,199 --> 01:14:15,039 understand that section, maybe it did detract from the enjoyment of this audiodrama for 936 01:14:15,079 --> 01:14:18,399 them. So I guess you're the one that has to make the call of 937 01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:21,479 is it still a high quality audio drama for you? Does it still? 938 01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:28,920 Is it still enjoyable to listen to this story? Is that one scene there 939 01:14:29,640 --> 01:14:34,560 and the losing of some of the context perhaps does that detract enough from the 940 01:14:34,600 --> 01:14:39,319 rest of the show for you so that you don't enjoy it. You know, 941 01:14:39,399 --> 01:14:44,119 you have to make that call. But it is a good point that 942 01:14:44,359 --> 01:14:48,239 I think people who are audio drama creators, whether again whether you're the sound 943 01:14:48,239 --> 01:14:53,920 designer or the producer or the director, you do have to be aware of 944 01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:59,680 these things that you can't get so lost in your own material that you forget 945 01:15:00,079 --> 01:15:04,560 how it's going to sound to the listener and the person who hasn't read the 946 01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:09,359 script and does not have that context of seeing the words on the page. 947 01:15:10,239 --> 01:15:13,439 So I thought it was a very interesting point that Blake brought up, and 948 01:15:13,479 --> 01:15:16,760 I thought it was worth addressing here on the show, So I would like 949 01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:19,279 to hear from you. Let me know what you thought of this, were 950 01:15:19,279 --> 01:15:24,680 you able to understand it all? And if not, did that detract from 951 01:15:24,720 --> 01:15:28,920 the experience of hearing that scene for you? Let me know what you think. 952 01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:31,600 You'd love to hear your thoughts on this issue or anything else related to 953 01:15:31,600 --> 01:15:34,000 family friendly audio drama.

Our website is audio Theatercentral dot com. So 968 01:16:57,479 --> 01:17:00,600 do you hear about those two cowboys, Slim and Showy who were going to 969 01:17:00,600 --> 01:17:06,239 be riding the range out on the ranch and staying in one of the line 970 01:17:06,279 --> 01:17:13,880 cabins and having to put their both of their horses in this same little corral. 971 01:17:14,239 --> 01:17:18,000 So to help them tell them apart, Slim tied a red ribbon to 972 01:17:18,039 --> 01:17:24,680 his horse's tail and Shorty tied a blue ribbon to his horse's tail. Well, 973 01:17:24,720 --> 01:17:27,199 the next morning, when they went out to check on their horses, 974 01:17:27,279 --> 01:17:31,600 they noticed that the ribbons had fallen off the horse's tails. And so Slim 975 01:17:31,680 --> 01:17:34,479 was like, man, now, how are we going to tell our horses 976 01:17:34,479 --> 01:17:39,760 apart? And so Shorty thought about it for a few minutes, and then 977 01:17:40,359 --> 01:17:44,319 he got this idea, and he said, I know, how about if 978 01:17:44,359 --> 01:17:48,239 you take the brown one and I'll take the gray one.
