Link to Tuesday's show: Get In The Squad Car
Yay! More Soul Patrol on the Society Tuesday, along with the continuation of the interview with the creator of this unique series. And LOOKIE- I found neat information from their website about the series!
Then of course, they carry on with my current favorite giggle-fest: Robots of the Company!
Hope you will all listen in with me... I'll have plenty of pizza. :-)
Drop a note if you listened in! I want to know who's out there!

Take To The Stars!
Just saw Jack has been posting around about the line-up for Tuesday's show, so he has made my job easy this week ;-) :
This week on the Sonic Society!
The Starship Arbiter makes its first voyage across the heavens in Episode
#1 "Mutiny Springs Eternal" from Prometheus Radio Theatre
Afterwards we'll have an interview with some of the actors and writers of
this award winning SciFi epic and of course continue
with the next installment in the hilarious serial Robots of the Company by
DreamRealm Enterprises.
The Sonic Society sets sail every Tuesday night on CKDU 97.5 FM or on the
web at www.ckdu.ca from 9- 10:30 Atlantic Time.
Join us, won't you?
Jack

Only two more weeks and I won't have to grab the archives anymore! Wooooot! Of course, soon the time zone will be a-changing for the rest of the world too, so it will bring my favorite show a little bit closer to me too. :-)

Awesome findings by fellow addicts
You have all probably wondered what the music is now when you hit the page. It's coming from my new button on the side there, sent to me by my dear Wicked friend. What more appropriate place to put it than on the Addict's blog?
Soundseeing Tours

Another great place- MashUpTown... song mixing gone wild!
And finally, more mix-and-mash of some classic Beatles... there is one mixed with The Cure that is pretty groovy... yes I just wrote groovy...
Thanks to Christopher Stewart for that one! I'm sending this link to my Dad- he'll get such a kick out of it!
This should keep y'all entertained for awhile- at least until The Society begins! ;-)

My Search For An Irish Princess
Oh the pains to find the perfect visual aide for Tuesday's show- it's quite interesting the things that come up on a Google search. When all you type in is "Princess", or "Red-Hair" (now THAT was an interesting one. I think Iwas blushing a few times- and I'm alone in the house!) But I wanted to find something that personified the heroine in the main story on the Society, "Gormlaith, Princess of Ireland".

I'm not so sure about this first one. I mean I think I hit it with the red hair, but since I haven't heard the show yet I don't know if she was really a warrior or not.

Then I came acoss this one. Not bad, but too much fantasy with the dragon flying around. And the poor woman will probably need more clothes, being in Ireland and all...

Then I found this- which I suppose portrays the royalty a bit more. I like the dark hair better myself too...

Somewhere in my search this guy came up, and then I wasn't interested in Irish Princesses anymore....
That was two hours ago....
Ahem. What was I talking about? Oh- tomorrow's show. So, I can't wait to hear the interview afterwards and get Prof. Harvey's take on her story. Also, they are finally doing some Montage Theatre- it's about time! They would play some clips on Shadowlands every now and then- LOVE it! Then of course I get to giggle some more with the next installment of Robot's of the Company. :-)))
So, everyone TUNE IN! I'm going back to Ewan- erm.. I mean work.... *blush*

Aye Matty, The Yankee Clipper
On this last Tuesday night with popcorn in hand I settled into the best seat in the house and gave a listen to, "Yankee Clipper". A fine ship with a strong wind at her back on the hunt for another, The Black Arrow.
We have in this tale some hair raising excitement, and the sound values give it to you in stereo. The canvas of the imagination fills in the rest.
The background sounds give you the impression of being there. And the actors, at least the ones that get to proceed, give you the emotion of the story.
There are artifacts that hint of life, only seen by victims and scared witnesses. "The eyes were red I tell ya". Great stuff, Yankee Clipper. If this is what is afoot with the lads and ladies of Colonial Radio then I do so yearn to hear their interpretation of "Sleepy Hollow".
I will surely return next Tuesday for the next installment of Yankee Clipper and as last Tuesday I hope to have the addict as my companion once again.

What's Up With Gravity?
Teeheeee... oh this Robot's of the Company series just makes me giggle. And giggle. And giggle.
Oh it's so fun, and I was lucky enough to be able to ask the series creator, Jon Russell, about where he got the idea for the silly serial:
"ROTC came to me as one of those late night ideas you just get when you've been deprived of sleep and it just kinda hits you. We had had some major problems last year at about this time with a number of computer crashes which left DRE not being able to produce or release anything.
Once we got our systems back up and running, we couldn't really finish the projects we were working on until we got some back up copies of lines, as well as some retakes and such, so in the meantime, my hope was to do something quick, simple & reasonably funny to just put something out there so people knew we were, at least, still around. ROTC was the idea I came up with, and we ran with it. The first two episodes are the result of that.
This year we'd planned to go on with a short second season, but when Jack approached me to include something for Sonic Society, I decided to pitch ROTC at him, and he loved it! So, we settled on doing 13 episodes for our second season, and even now we're planning our third!"
Well I think it's great- and I certainly can't wait to hear more installments! I also am not surprised in the least that Jack loved it. :-)
(Did I mention that it was great to listen to the show at the appropriate time again? ) Yay!

Just like old times...
Look! Did you notice the time? It's halfway through the show- and I'M LISTENING!! Wooooot!
I even got my Tuesday night date Dave here. So it's alllllll good...
Oh my this Yankee Clipper story- how excellent! Ancient Egyptian curse and all... getting mauled by strange animals with glowing red eyes... OMG this is great!
More in a bit... still listening.... I miss listening this way.

Post-show recap so late it's PRE-show!
Hell I'm practically running over the next show I've gotten so behind! After spending much of this last week fund-raising for victims of hurricane Katrina, I sat down today and realized that although I listened to the show on Wednesday, I neglected to blog about it. Whoops!
So, quickly: last week's show rocked! A great beginning to the Society. The first two episodes of Soul Patrol were excellent. Very witty, certainly my kind of story. And remember how I said I was looking forward to Robots of the Company? Well, I found myself giggling through the entire thing.
But really, you need to listen for yourselves. Catch the archive of last week's show. The date- September 6. The time: 21:00-22:30.
Oh- and OMG did I mention the intro? AWESOME score! (See now you all just HAVE to listen!)
OK, so coming up on the next meeting of the Society, we get to take a trip across the seas in a tale from Colonial Radio Theatre. After the episode there is an interview with Jerry Robbins from Colonial Theatre, a sketch from Third Coast Live, then more of Robots of the Company!
All righty, that's it from here... see you all dancing on the airwaves Tuesday night!

The Big Day Arrives!
I swear, the only time I get this excited about something premiering is when the next season of "24" is about to begin! (January 9th, btw. Mark those calendars!)
It is finally time to unveil that new intro- because Sonic Society is beginning tonight! New intro, new music, new clean-cut format. And once again...
I have to catch the archive. Dammit. Would it be wrong to ask Arizona to switch to Atlantic time? LOL!
Well, it just means I will have to feel out the radio stations here, and help get these boys syndicated! Man, that would be something...

Anyway, I am very excited to hear the NEW and ORIGINAL shows lined up for this evening. Starting with The Soul Patrol, which is about a band of female "soul savers" who are out to create more good souls for heaven. A very intriguing story-line... I wonder if they could do anything with mine? ;-) After the first TWO episodes, there will be an interview with the series creator, David Koenigsberg.

Then comes the next series... from Dream-Relm Enterprises, we meet the Robots of the Company! I can hear Jack and Andrew giggling at me now, since they know I am not the world's biggest Robot-sci-fi-deep-space fan. (But do I dare mention to them that one of my favorite movies is "Galaxy Quest"?) So, being the eager huntress of a good story, and most definitely a new and original one, my ears are perked to hear what this series is about!
So... congratulations to my homies up in Halifax- it's been a long time coming. I know how hard they have worked to get this off the ground, and YAY that day is finally here! Hugs and Kisses to you both!
See you post-show!

Show Archive & Stuff
Yay! Got a chance to finish listening to last night's show. It didn't feel like an ending, and that is good. Catch the archive HERE. They ran a bit over, so I would grab it from 21:00 until 22:40. :-) Happy Listening, and it will be because they give plenty of teasers on what is up-and-coming for the Society! Yippeee!!
As I was pimping the show and this blog on my Ryze network, Jack had this to say about the dawn coming to Shadowlands:
"I'm really touched by those words thank-you so much both of you! I am also really excited about the Sonic Society starting up next week and I'm trying not to think about never listening to the Shadowlands theme for a show or doing the Shadowlands intro again. *L* I'm working on a new introduction and I received the final edit of the new theme last night from Sharon Bee www.sharonbee.com (my friend and music maker for our original works). The Sonic Society is going to be a pretty unique show. Each week brand new shows for the most part have not been heard on radio stations anywhere (definitely in Canada and in the case of many not even in the United States). These represent the work of people who have the same love of Radio Drama that Topper, Dani and I have and have an eclectic group of stories from comedic silliness "Schlock Theatre" to epic stories "Colonial Radio Theatre" to episodic Science Fiction "Prometheus Theatre" and around again! Andrew and I have sat in the recording both and had half hour interviews with at least 6 of these writer/director/actors and we're cutting those interviews into ten minute slices between our Features and the continuing serial we're doing called "Robots of the Company." Gone, for the most part, is the off the cuff banter as we make this show much tighter, and we'll miss that, but what's going to be more prevalent is the show, making radio drama, loving radio drama, and showcasing radio drama. What's also new and exciting is that in contacting 40 odd stations two days ago, more than half said outright they wanted to be our affiliate. So, I'm busily cutting and splicing the shows into ACTS and putting them on our server for distribution. A prof from Missouri State even contacted us, and since our distribution is for Canada AND the U.S. that means we're able to bring the series to a radio station near you. I think when you're intents are pure, things fall into place. People can feel that. First and foremost I want people everywhere to have great radio drama to listen to. That's why running the show in your radio station is absolutely free. And I've babbled on enough about my passion. Sorry for taking up your time! Back to the subjects at hand." ~J
Ever humble, isn't he? They also had another guest for the evening, the bubbly Elana Zatzman, who has had roles in a couple of the Shadowlands original stories. I found a link to her website through the voice-acting alliance, but currently it is down. I will update when it's available, cause it's a cool site. :-)
Anywho- so that is that. Onward to bigger things... I cannot wait to hear the premier of Sonic Society next week!

The Final Performance..

So I'm reading the notes for Tuesday's show, and it all sounds so... final.
I guess the sun has to rise sometime.
It only makes sense that they would end their mini-era of Shadowlands with the host's biggest inspiration.
Really, you could look at this changing and moving on to Sonic Society as one might look at life. You can't live in the past forever. Yet the memories live on in your heart and mind for eternity. And thanks to technology, in the archives...
So you move forward, and on to bigger and better things, with all the hope and promise of anything new. I for one am excited about what the future holds for my friends and their new endeavors. Hell it's not like they are GOING anywhere, next week they will carry on, just emerging from their cocoon completely transformed!
Though, I also know I am not so good with goodbyes. Which is why before I rush off to pick up my daughter from her class, I will be listening to the intro that has awakened my senses for almost two years now. Live and not through the archive.
Because that has always been the best way to listen. :-)

The episode so good they had to play it twice!
As previously mentioned, I once again had to grab the archive of last night's show and play catch-up. This certainly has its advantages. One thing, I'm not chained to my computer listening, and free to roam around talking to myself as I work through the story. (Which gets me looks, which I thought at first were because I'm such a hottie, then I realized I was wearing earphones and talking to myself. Whatever.)
Second- I can fast forward through commercials! Woot-woot!
Thirdly, I have proven that I am indeed an addict because as I uploaded this week's episode to the Evil Pod of Pleasure, I noticed I have like 10 episodes in there. The sky is the limit guys when you make it to someone's iPod! ;-)
Listening to "Deep, Deep is My Love", all I kept thinking was about the movie "Airplane". Seriously, I could SO hear Steve McCrosky at the end when he realized what he had done:
"Looks like I picked the wrong week to start deep sea diving."
This wonderful and very useful tool known as fast-forward also came in handy as I was listening to the second story, "Drive-In", and realized I was listening to the SAME EPISODE OF SUSPENSE AGAIN! Was this an archival mistake? Hmm....
What's REALLLLY funny (well to me) is that I was actually waiting in a drive-through line for a diet coke with vanilla slush-like drink while listening to this story!
So, although most of the readers have closed their browser or gone elsewhere by now, I will continue. While waiting for my daughter to finish up a class, I was able to listen to the remainder of the show. "Attack of the Giant Leeches"- OMFG you want to talk about looks from others! My other daughter kept shushing me.
"Mom!" she would hiss. "You're embarrassing me!!!"
I couldn't help it. "Dammit!"
"Janet!"
"I'll go make coffee"
I was sent to a corner to finish out the show where I wouldn't be an embarrassment to anyone under 10.
I do need to clear up one small mis-understanding. It is assumed that my favorite Shadowlands story is Biff Straker. To those who have come to know and love my blog, you will see this is not the case.
Biff is fellow addict Dave's favorite. I am in agreement with your friend and guest for the evening, Mr. Jeff Brown. "The Hitchhiker" is indeed my favorite, though not at all my favorite sin.
And I'm not just saying that because I'm a sucker for a guy who will figuratively throw roses my way over the airwaves....

Ending The Suspense
What an appropriate name for tonight's show! As the suspense builds for the official premier of Sonic Society, we are going to be entertained tonight with a triple-dose of Suspense!
Good things seem to happen in threes... and I sneeze in threes. (I don't know, I'm winging it here.)
Apparently they are playing something for funzies afterward, and it has to do with leeches. Ew.
I am sure the humble hosts will be teasing us with more info on what is to come when they make the switch to Sonic as well, so be sure to tune in!
Me, I am stuck in a meeting (the curse of the 4-hour time zone difference), so once again the addict must grab the archive... but on the upside, I just throw it on the iPod and listen wherever and whenever I want! :-)
I'd be lost without technology!
Have a good show tonight guys! ;-)

The Black Room
I am still trying to get rid of the creepy feeling. I'm a tad claustrophobic, so when they threw him into the black room and he's screaming "No!!! Heeelllpppp!!!!" as they are forcing him in I'm cringing.
Then he's talking to himself, trying to get his heart under control. A rat keeps scurrying by him. I'm squirming in my seat at this point, rubbing at my arms because I just broke out in goose-bumps.
And as I listen I KNOW this is just the poor man's distorted reality... it's not real... I know what the others are doing to him... but I still feel his panic...as he's now talking himself INTO his reality. Justifying everything in his mind so he doesn't go insane... AAhhh I just got goosebumps again.
I'm thinking at the same time, "this would be so awesome to listen to in the dark."
I love a good scary story. Grab the archive, and listen for yourself. (21:00- 22:30)
In the dark.
Or at least the shadows...

Tuesday's lineup miraculously appears...
Though the humble host assures us it has been up since last Thursday... hmmm.... yet I didn't see it, and now it's there like it has been there all along....
But who am I to argue? Wow, it's like our very own Mystery!
So, as we move on into the final three episodes of Shadowlands, the anticipation builds for the switch to Sonic Society! I hear they are getting tons of interest from plenty of other addicts who want their stories to be heard- and I for one can't wait to hear them! :-)

The addict's playlist over the weekend
I was out of town this weekend, one last hurrah with the family before the kiddos go back to school TOMORROW! Up to a little cabin in the woods, that has been in Mr. Addict's family for 25 years now.
So, away from civilization we went, so I made sure to make sure I had the 'ol iPod with me (affectionately named "The Evil Pod Of Pleasure"), to keep me company during the two nights that I knew I would not be sleeping, and not able to read because of sharing close quarters with my squirmy mini-addicts-in-training. :-)
I found a couple of Suspense episodes from an episode of Shadowlands WAYYY back in January. Then I remembered I saved one from May because they played an old Abbot and Costello bit with my favorite screwy wabbit (like I have many rabbits I call favorite or something? Yes that is me, rabbit whore.) I picked that gif because that is exactly how I feel after a fairly sleepless weekend. Blah.
Of course I had to top it off with my absolute FAVORITE deadly sin... though only in the Shadowlands.. as I have a much better time with other sins to be worried about that particular one. ;-) Oh it was SO much fun to listen in the pitch black cabin with absolutely no other sounds in the background and not knowing what might be lurking outside my window... I know I know, I read too many scary stories!
So, what is in store for us this Tuesday? Well, I have NO IDEA!!! (There is the official cyber-kick in the butt to the host).
Now off to sleep in my nice, un-lumpy bed, with the comforting hum of electricity buzzing around me... I'm so not a country-girl!

Vikings, Fiddles and Sex
Haha. Just finished listening to the show.
The Mystery Theater story was great! Those crazy women and their give-it-all-up-for -love-and-a-viking fantasies...
Apparently there was sex on the boys' brains last night. And THEN, for some odd, unknown reason, during the PSA's suddenly it was on my brain too....
Good show, as always! Though I must correct one minor thing. The launch of Society is September 6th, not the 8th as was said on the air last night.
What would they do without me looking out for them?
Lastly, to answer a very important question asked-- yes, they do have a G-string... but watch out for the f-holes. ;-)
I leave you with fiddle-porn:

Shame on me...

Perhaps it's the guilt of not catching the show that has me up late this evening. Oh the guilt! The humble host back after two weeks of vacation, and I miss it. The shame, the utter shame of it! *insert tragic pose here* I could easily blame the weather, after all as I said in the previous posting we've had storms the past few days, and today was no exception. Alas, I went to my mother-in-laws this evening instead to swim.
And did I get to swim? Nooooo... I lost out on that too- because of the WEATHER! Pretty bad too, I thought for sure I'd get stranded in a wash and me and the children would be on the news sitting on top of the car. I did get a free meal though. :-)
Anywho... enough rambling about me- like that is why people read this thing? So I have now pulled the archive, and will ramble about more important things, like how the show was, later!
It's a good thing Sonic Society hasn't officially started yet- that is not something I want to hear any other way the first time than LIVE!
OK, now that I've confessed, I will try and sleep again. ;-)

An ending or a beginning?
I'm looking at the link to tomorrow night's show. My poor little brain is confused. I'm not sure if it's the end of Shadowlands, or the beginning of Sonic Society.
Either way, it looks like it will be a good show. Jack is back in the big chair, and there is more Mystery Theatre coming our way!
Though I hope I get to listen- there are crazy monsoon storms going on this side of North America, today I've had to shut down the computer 3 times in case there were power outages. Yeesh.
Yeah, I could (and most likely will anyway) grab the archive, but it's SO much more fun listening to them live.... ;-)

Wow- official recognition!
So I'm listening to the show last night... minding my own business... thinking about how interesting it was that Mystery Theater made such a fuss over Buddhism, like it was almost taboo and unheard of. Amazing what 20 or 30 years can change...
Then the mid show banter comes... I'm wandering in and out of the office making sure the children aren't killing each other... and I hear it as I'm wandering out-
"Audio Addicts".
Hey- that sounds familiar! I poked my head back in.
"Head cheese... Danielle..."
Hey- they know someone else named Danielle with a blog about Sonic Society? Oh wait- they are talking about ME!!!
Teeheee... you made my night Andrew- and my older daughter's too. She walked in and heard my name. Now she thinks I'm famous! ;-)
Archive Link
I've just realized, that was the end of Shadowlands. But with each door that closes, a new one opens, filled with anticipation, excitement, and endless possibility. If I didn't see all the possibility this new adventure has, I certainly wouldn't be blogging about it.

Besides, when they make the big time I fully expect to be flown out for a REAL vacation! I'm dying to ride that Theodore Tugboat!
(one of my four pictures from my 20 hours in Halifax.. a year ago this month! Yeesh... I'm overdue for a return visit!)

Mystery Theatre Continues..

...on this Tuesday's Shadowlands. Being the curious person that I am, I did a little research on RMT's host, EG Marshall. He never told anyone what the EG stood for. He had suggested that initials might, or might not, stand for "Edda Gunnar" or "Enigma Gregarius", and in one interview, when asked about his initials, he stated it meant "Everybody's Guess."
Another little tidbit: Though he was the host/narrator for the RMT from 1974 to 1981, he performed in only one episode of the show as Ebeneezer Scrooge in its version of "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens in 1975 (which was repeated at Christmas time every year until the show's demise).
Andrew at the console again, so I do hope people will tune in and give him a holla! Perhaps even that other host will listen in... what was his name...??

Han Solo or Indiana Jones?

Only 5 people voted on this all-important question on tonight's show? Does no one realize the impact this could have on the universe as we know it? Who would win in a fight- Han or Indiana?
So send an email- sonicsociety@gmail.com. My vote is the guy with the blaster- but after all I am an American. ;-) You can't take a guy in a hat like that seriously either- yeesh.

Great job tonight Andrew! And Ed, not bad for your first time... you have that radio voice... :-)
For those who missed it, grab the archive here.
2100- 2230 (times to enter)
Night all,

You can find the details of tonights show here. They have MORE Mystery Theater and Re-Animator- double yay!

Do you have a superhero?
I do! I do! But I never knew how to bring this superhero(ine) to life.
Now I do- with the help of Consortuim Comics! Here's a little more info about it from Sonic Society:
What is Consortium Comics?
Its the worlds first collective Audio Comic book!
That's right YOU can send us your script of your very own superhero.
Our Shadowlands Players will take the best four scripts each month and
we'll produce a new Audio Comic issue of Consortium Comics each and
every month for you to download from our site.
And yes! That means podcasting too!
Hurry and see what all the excitement is! Leap into the world of
Consortium Comics and lets see what kind of hero tales YOU have to
tell!
Life's an Audio Cinema with pictures!
Jack
So now I'm off to see if I am actually any good at this writing/creating a character thing... and if I am you will all eventually find out! :-) Check the link above or at the right!

EEK! The show starts in less than an hour!

Why is it when you start a new project, for instance, say... a fan blog, that all of a sudden every other aspect of your life gets busy and you don't have time to play? Oy...
Though I could blame it on Jack, after all he's been so busy getting everything together for the launch of Sonic Society that he neglected to tell their fans what was coming up on the show!
So- I hope everyone is tuning in as Mystery Theatre continues this month with a show I could reeeaallly get into... "Black Widow".
Ok, gotta order the pizza...

Dani's Post-Show Ramblings
The only thing better than listening to Shadowlands on Tuesday night, is listening to the show with a friend. Dave, my fellow audio addict, was able to join me for most of it this evening. This is one of the many many things I truly love about the internet, because he lives in Minnesota. So we sit in our respective caves and listen while chatting online together. What it usually turns into is something along the lines of "Mystery Science Theatre", making comments and (in tonight's case) try to figure out whodunnit before it's revealed. It was a regular Tuesday night date for awhile, until his day job started screwing with his schedule and taking him away from me. Don't they realize that the universe does indeed revolve around me and my addiction, and any and all schedule changes must be pre-approved with said audio addict?
But I digress...
I was convinced in tonight's Mystery Theatre show "The Time Box", that the daughter did it. I don't know why I always assume the woman is the evil one, but honestly the female is always overlooked. Women need more evil exposure! I remained completely convinced up until the end, when it was revealed that-
well.... I ain't telling. You can listen for yourself by grabbing the archive here.
Mid-show banter with Andrew and Jack is always fun to listen to. The weather forcast however, has been so- so- NORMAL lately. What is up with that? We heard another GREAT promo for their show- though it's a toss up to which one I like more, the mysterious caller tonight or Biff from last week. I have to admit, however, knowing them both just makes me enjoy listening to them even more. Hell they even make the PSA's fun to listen to! They complement each other well. Again, you'll just have to listen to the show to understand what I'm talking about. It's always funny to hear things being thrown at Jack. I don't know why. It just is.
(BTW... the time of the show if you grab the archive is 9- 10:30 p.m.)
Anywho... another Tuesday Pizza Night well-spent. If you listened to the show, leave a comment and tell us what you thought! Come back often for updates as to what is coming up next week, in the "final throes" of the Shadowlands. (Hey I can say it and mean it, unlike some in higher positions of power) :-)
Night all...

PS- What? No mention of the fan blog on-air? What am I doing here, talking to myself???? ;-)
