Radio Theater
Before television there was radio. Radio, in those days (I'm told
- I'm not that old) had regular dramatic programs. Television programs
such as The Lone Ranger, for example, began as radio. Orson Welles' War
of the Worlds was, and is, a classic example of just how effective radio
drama could be. As an element of drama (melodrama) quicksand is obviously
something that lends itself to visual formats. However, with good acting
and convincing sound effects, I am certain that some of the more creative
people out there in the Interswamp can produce some effective radio productions.
I will designate this page as for two types of material. First, scripts
for radio drama. Such scripts should provide rich dialogue and directions
for sound effects. Second, actual sound files. The latter may consist of
dramatizations or simply dramatic readings of such material as short stories.
For that latter, please try to rehearse a little and read you're story
like you were on stage and getting paid for it. If you're voice sounds
like Orson Welles you may have a bit of an advantage here. Obviously, if
you're story has dialogue it would be best to use different people for
each part. Let's see what we can produce.
If there are people out there who want to get together to produce
something with multiple parts, let me know. It will be very difficult but
perhaps something can be set up
.

Nothing so far
Sound Files
What appears below is an experiment. I would very much appreciate
feedback concerning problems in downloading, the audio-story format,
and, of course, the story itself. I have tried downloading these files
using Netscape and have been successful. I have Netscape set up to play
this file format using Real Player, although Windows Media Player also
works on my system. The files are in the .WAV format. I have not tried
to compress the files in any way.
Because of the large size of these files I cannot leave the entire
story on the web site without risking an overflow of my allotted memory.
Further, it is my intention to make a number of stories available in this
format over time. Therefore, what I plan to do is leave these files here
for about a week. Then I will replace them with another set of recordings.
The whole story will take three or four download cycles. I will then post
another story. Eventually, I will repeat the cycle so anyone who misses
an episode can get caught up.
All of the stories that appear here are protected by copyright
(Copyright 2000 by Name Withheld but known to this web site owner). However,
interested persons are allowed and encouraged to download and save these
files for personal use only. If anyone is interested I may eventually consider
making a CD available with the complete collection of audio stories, but
I do not really want to get into trying to sell things here.
