The Man Who Was Thursday!

Today I begin The Man Who Was Thursday on the Athena Audio Book.  Check it out here. 

This book, a rip roaring adventure of suspense, illusion, and paradox from G.K. Chesterton, was used by Orson Welles in one my favorite radio plays. I'm so happy to share it with you over the coming weeks. 

This marks a milestone on the book show, it is the 100th episode.  I love doing the show, and I know there are at least a few people listening, so here I will proclaim my aspiration and intention to do another 100 episodes!

Athena Audio Theater January 2012 recordings now available!

About three weeks ago I was proud to share a studio with my wonderful "band of brothers".  This is what we did.  

This year's performance features a long play called "I Dream of the Stars" and several shorter works under the collective heading "All the Single Ladies".  

All material was written and performed by the cast except for "Requiem", a poem by Robert Louis Stevenson which was respectfully included in "I Dream of the Stars" and a couple of songs that were adapted for use in "All the single ladies."

The complete show can be found by clicking here or opening "recordings" above and opening "2012 01 14".
