Other Audio Dramas?

[scbubba]

Look, fellas... I'm the last guy you need to be defending 'We're Alive' from. I absolutely think that WA is the premier audio drama being published nowadays, and is unquestionably atop the heap of the other audio dramas out there.

I also agree with you insofar as the narrative effect that Kc achieves by withholding some information...

SPOILER 

...such as when we don't initially know who the murderer of Pippin is because we only hear the shot but don't get to 'see' the shooter

But I don't think there is anything wrong with a bit more narration...especially with parts like

SPOILER 

the CJ and Scratch swrod/knife fight scene

which were a bit hard to visualize because of the absence of narration.

I have to disagree with you on the second spoiler tag events. The confusion surrounding the events led to one of the most talked about cliff hangers of that whole season... Narration wouldn't have evoked the same sort of thing there, IMO.

I need to start the search for a new audio drama while I wait for season 4! I'll keep you guys posted!

The thing is there is no middle point. Picking the middle road would worsen the show as there would be little consistency

Ok, maybe someone here can help. What I'd like to listen to is a zombie apocalypse type podcast or audiobook, but told from a zombies perspective. Been reading Warm Bodies, since the movie is coming out soon, but haven't been able to find any podcast that would be similar. Oh, and it needs to be free.

Edict Zero FIS is a brilliant audio drama, totally avoids any narration (nothing wrong with narration but some listeners prefer not to have any) and there must be about 20 hours or more of content now so those looking for something long term should dive in.

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!

Whoa...gotta check some of those out

Just started on Feditus, interesting and different. Also listening to Wormwood, and even though it's called a murder mystery, it's kinda odd too.

There are many..I'm an audio junkie..
Besides Wormwood, and Leviathan Chronicles mentioned above..You can try "Fetidus-the foundation for the unethical treatment of the undead"-
"19 Nocturne Blvd"-
"Darker Projects"
or tryhttp://theaudiodramadirectory.com/ ..it has a huge directory with synopsis by genre.
Lots of horror..sci fi etc..

I loved FETIDUS! I listened to it at work, every time I cringed my co-workers looked at me funny, of course they couldn't hear it.
