Talk/Radio Theater
With Jerry Stearns
Where "radio play" is the important part of the phrase. Hosted by Jerry Stearns.
A showcase of audio theater, featuring the best of contemporary audio theater, snippets from Old Time Radio drama, spoken word comedy, and talk about and with some of the skillful practitioners of the Theater of the Mind, we'll bring the best there is from around the world to your ears.
You can find more about the program and a weekly schedule of what's on the show at the Sound Affects website.
War of the Worlds 75th Anniversary Contest
The Audio Theater community held a contest in 2013, the 75th Anniversary War of the Worlds Audio Contest, celebrating the famous Orson Welles broadcast of 1938. These are four of the entrants in that contest. Not necessarily the winners, as I wanted to present a broad spectrum of the kinds of things that could be done with a few rules and a lot of imagination.
Itβs also, by the way, KFAIβs Fall Pledge Drive, so please take a moment to make a contribution to this important radio station, and show your support for Sound Affects as well. Thank you very much. β Jerry
