I'm going to send out an invite to another forum who specializes in Audio Dramas to post ads for their shows here. That way during the time off others can discover more to listen to.
Are there any you listen to?Quote:

;)
I would suggest The Witchhunter Chronicle and Edict Zero. Also, One-Eighteen Migration (for a completely different take on a zombie apocalypse).
There's LOTS of great stuff out here.
[didn't take me long to jump on that invite - eh? Thanx much KC!!]
Someone already mentioned us earlier in the thread, but I thought I'd jump into the discussion since the invite went out.
I'm the executive producer of Pendant Productions, and we've got a whole pile of audio dramas for those looking for new content.
We have a shared comic universe we refer to as "Earth-P", which presently incorporates shows based on Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Catwoman and Green Arrow. Each of those shows releases one new episode a month, and most of them have been running on that schedule for years now (Green Arrow is a new addition, but give it time).
We've also got completed fan productions based on Star Wars, Indiana Jones and James Bond, as well as an ongoing Star Trek-based show that's been running for over five years (with, again, one new episode every month).
We've also got many original shows as well, including:
Dixie Stenberg and Brassy Battalion - a sci-fi action/comedy set during WWII done as an homage/spoof of old time radio
The Kingery - a sci-fi crime drama about a mob family, the resort they own and the people who try to take it from them
Genesis Avalon - an original superhero audio drama where personal demons are tougher to kill than literal demons
Red Sands Investigations - A woman inherits her uncle's detective agency after his death, which didn't at all happen the way she was told
The Line - A war between heaven and hell breaks out on earth, and a troubled girl is caught in the middle
Seminar - an anthology show in the grand "Twilight Zone" tradition, with no restrictions on genre
Of the above, "Dixie" has completed its story over the course of 50 episodes, but the rest are still permanently ongoing with new episodes every month.
We've had at least one show as a Parsec finalist every year for the last four years, and I certainly hope that trend continues in 2011. Stop by and check us out, and hopefully you'll find something you enjoy! :)
On a side note, you all might recognize Julie as one of the radio operators from the Colony :)Quote:

No comment...

I was recommended this a month back... sadly, I've not had time to get to it. However, with the season break looming, I'll be on the lookout for something new (which brings me to this thread once more). I've interest in hearing The Facts Concerning... what with being a Lovecraft fan and all.Quote:

Yup - Lovecraft fan here, too... can ya tell?

There seems to be a lot of good suggestions here. One site I enjoy is graphicaudio.net These are not free, but you get what you pay for. I've just listened to the DC titles they have done. I wasn't a huge Flash fan before, but The Flash: Stop Motion is really good. So is Batman Dead White and Inferno. I've listened to a lot of them and haven't been disappointed yet. They just did a huge Green Lantern series and in the Fall they are coming out with Batman: No Man's Land. They don't have just DC titles, they have others too. I just haven't listened to them yet.

Colonial Radio Theater has a bunch as well, but they aren't free-
6 episodes (or fits) per season. 5 seasons. 26 episodes of HHGTTG all up. Original 2 seasons were 12 eps, but then there were more.Quote:

There's a lot of good one-shot, or short run dramas out there too - often hard to find, and too numerous to mention.
A nexus for a lot of these is at audiodramatalk.com
another pace to find a lot of good links is theaudiodramadirectory.com
a company called big finnish do some very good doctor who audio plays
Coming next month from 19 Nocturne Boulevard - a new adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's The Dunwich Horror!

The Paranormalists (UK Podcast).
So far it seems good for a chuckle. Some pretty funny one-liners if you enjoy their sort of comedy. Listening to the early episodes now
http://www.paranormalists.co.uk/
The Red Panda Adventures (http://www.decoderringtheatre.com/) is a witty Canadian superhero fighing crime and Nazis with the help of his female driver
The Radio Adventures of Doctor Floyd (http://www.doctorfloyd.com/) is a fun kids program that takes a humorous look at history/literature.
1918 (http://www.1918show.com/) has a lot of fun with an absurd fusion of World War I and alien technology.
Almost anything by Roger Gregg at Crazy Dog Audio Theatre (http://www.crazydogaudiotheatre.com/), particularly The Stuff of Myth, The Salmon of Blackpool, and Brad's Book of Lies
really pleased the byron chronicles and the mask of inanna are back on - only thing keeping me sane
understand edict zero returns next month as well
nice to see a few new suggestions i'll be trying as well
Hey guys! We do a little show called Campfire Radio Theater dramatized with full cast, music and sound effects. It's a horror anthology that's still in its early stages but feel free to come visit us at... http://campfireradiotheater.podbean.com/ You can look us up on iTunes as well.
Currently we're working on a WW 2 era episode with Vampires and Nazis and I'm hoping to do a Christmas show later in the year featuring some of our zombie friends. :zombie:
I'm just getting into Lovecraft, but having a dickens of a time dealing with his Racism. I like the Mythos and the guys over at HPpodcast.com do a pretty good job.Quote:

Besides "We're Alive," some memorable contemporary audio dramas that I have heard include:
- Chatterbox Audio Theater's "The Dead Girl": More of an OTR feel to it, but a compelling story and good acting. Chatterbox puts out good stuff; check their website.
- Darker Projects Byron Chronicles: Lots of fans already for this one; compelling main character.
- Decorated Air Theater's "This Thing of Ours": Great story of a wiseguy in a NY mob family.
- Final Rune Production's "Three Skeleton Key" and "Intensive Care": If you haven't checked out Fred and Final Rune, do so. He is a Maine-based producer who also hosts the Radio Drama Revival website, who has interviewed Kc in the past, I believe.
- Icebox Radio Theater: Lots of good stuff here, like the spy thriller "Borderline"
- Keeg's Quest: Rich Matheson's hilarious comedy fancast for Elder Scrolls.
- Private Ear Audio Theater's "The Smoker": Usually I don't go in for the traditional hero-villain serial, but this one cracks me up.
- "Tales from the Museum"- Creepy paranormal stories based in a mysterious museum...
- Teknikal Diffikulties: Not an audio drama, but if you like Monty Python, then check out this hilarious one man show.
- "1918": This one does have a production quality that rivals "We're Alive". A fun blend of sci-fi and WWI era Red Baron stuff. The death scene with Xavier Xanders always cracks me up.
Other great ones already mentioned include "Wormwood," Julie's '19 Nocturne Blvd' and Christof's "Leviathan Chronicles". And listen to anything by Roger Gregg and Crazy Dog Audio Theater... I especially liked "The Salmon of Blackpool" and "Infidel".
One more that you should check out is Audio Epic's "Witch Hunter Chronicles." This one has a very high production quality, a great self-contained story about an Inquisition-era witch hunter and his quest for revenge and redemption. Fantastic music, too. Their website is at:
http://whchronicles.wordpress.com/
Geekshow's "Geek By Night" was excellent, although they stopped it mid season... It's what inspired me to get into writing scripts for audio drama's.
There really isn't anything as good as We're Alive. So keep the expectations low. There is Batman The Ace of Detectives and a bunch of others under Pendant Productions I believe. They are ok if you like comics. Some Doctor Who and Star Wars as well. It is really hard to listen to any others after listening to WA. That is why we have all listened to We're Alive like a bazillion times, right?
I've tried a bunch over the last bit but mostly duds...KC and his sunshine band have just spoiled us...perhaps they can try for an alternate series (preferably in another city/country)
Here is my opinion on audiodramas.
Good
Were alive
Leviathan (this might end up in bad pile if season 1 doesn't get better)
Undecided:
Age of zombies- story line has potential (1yr postzombie apocalypse) but the background music is louder then the vocals many times, and the levels hurt my eardrums. Many story lines = ambitious or destined to fail
Brave men run- kids with super powers, sound quality is better then most. But kinda teenage drama/maturity
The failed cities - post apocalypse religious/gang wars.*Interesting concept*
Byron chronicles - sometimes really good but many times really bad. Technically solid but story doesn't really suck you in.*
Earthcore- ehh...not great but I'm only 1 episode in...quality is worth a try
The sparkling dead- about to try it
Bad
Zombie nights
Dead Mech- really good start but zombies that use ironman like mechs...really?
Unleashed-*
The takeover
Fetdius
Infected
Contagion
Fried green zombies
You have dead on you- lame jokes with a lamer story lines*
Hopefully this is helpful
aaaaahhhhh no, sparkling monsters = bad. real vampires/zombies don't sparkle, real men don't wear pink.Quote:

Warp'd Space (more sci-fi, part of Julie Hoverson's podcast)
just discovered and rather enjoying Mike Bennett's 'Underwood & Flinch' vampire novel, great dry british black humour, find myself laughing out loud all the time - i normally prefer full cast audio dramas, although have subscibed to 'Fetidus' and 'The Antithesis Progression' in the past, which i've stuck with and quite happy to listen to - some other author read podcasts can be terrible though
but 'Underwood & Flinch' is very good, and and his voices/acting are/is excellent! russian, british, irish, spanish, german, male and female, young and old alike - brilliant!
i'm even strangely attracted to his german girlfriend :0 (hope she returns - i'm up to chapter 19 so far) and yes, pickled eggs, well i quite like 'em (but i'm a brit), but strangely Mike Bennett doesn't!
on the edge of darkness is very good
