Missing my friend Bill Hollweg

 

RELEASED: Elixir

If this wasn’t a Jeff Niles/Viktor Aurelius production, this would sound strange. But…well..it is…

It’s the late 19th century in America and Utah seems to be experiencing a bit of a vampire problem. My character is a frontier-era Bible salesman with a foot fetish and dim prospects for making it into a sequel.

I’ll leave it at that. You can get more information and listen to the audio drama here:

RELEASED: The Oz Job

The characters from the Wizard of Oz, all modernized and set in Vegas and produced by the dark genius of The 4077th himself, Viktor Aurelius.

Yeah, you’re curious.

It’s gritty, so be warned. But if you can handle some of the strong stuff and really want to hear me whine like Rick Moranis getting waterboarded, check it out.

RELEASED: Walk-on role on Beneath the Planet of the Apes

My man Bill Hollweg has some issues when it comes to Planet of the Apes. He’s the kind of fan that writes fan fic to supplement the original story, and he couldn’t be more true to it if he were actually living in that universe. So when he asked me to be “Mutant Guard 1” I didn’t ask any details, I just said “Send me the script,” because I knew it would be well done.

If you’re interested at all, it’s worth going back through the archives to get the whole story. But if you’re on the fence, I think listening to this episode will satisfy you that it’s worth it to dig deeper.

In this episode: In Ape City Ursus has assembled his Gorilla Army for WAR with the MUTANTS… A discovery and it’s implications may well affect All futures and possibly ALL SIMIAN KIND!

It’s the bomb, as the kids said all those years ago.

Chatting about audio drama, podcasting, online marketing and more

Lat Friday I had the privilege of doing an interview with my friend Ayoub Khote about audio. It was a fun and interesting discussion where I got to discuss my hobby passion with some interesting people. If it’s in your line of interest, it’s a worthy view, and keep an eye on Ayoub and his colleagues because they’re moving and/or shaking.

It’s steampunk from gifted 4077th producer Viktor Aurelius. That’s probably enough for most people, but in this case you get the added pleasure of hearing me scramble in desperation and scream things like, “Five seconds to Mars!”

The synopsis for this epoisode…
The Britannia arrives on Mars and its passengers and crew have already made enemies. The Martian Queen must try to bring about peace while trying to thwart an impending war between the races of Mars. And in the end… sacrifices must be made… and someone will die!

Come on now…tell me that’s not intriguing.

Victoria! Empress of the Universe by 4077th Productions

4077th producer Viktor Aurelius pulled me into his production Lilith’s Children last year for some audio fun, as you may remember. It was such a pleasure to work with Viktor and his production work is of such a high caliber that when he has a spot to fill in a production and he shoots me a message asking if I’ll do it, I generally hit him back with my lines before I even finish reading his email. Victoria! is one of those cases, and with a description like this:

After several attempts on Sherlock Holmes’ life; Dr. John Watson and the Ship Steward help him uncover a plot of epic proportions. New enemies and new allies arrive on the scene while perils and mysteries increase as the Britannia speeds toward Mars!

…who could resist a little listen?

RELEASED: 2109: Black Sun Rising, the prequel logs, episode 7

This is the final prequel episode that sets up the opening scene of the main series which is going into production very soon!

2109: Black Sun Rising, the prequel logs

Episode 7 : Some Things Worse than Death

Pike is being sent where the secret truth about the Azimov  1 mission will never get out. But before he goes, there are a few questions to sort out and a revelation that will lead to Veers having Pike dragged out screaming.

These are all very short episodes, ranging from 8-15 minutes, so there’s no reason not to give it a try. It’s a little pulp sci-fi, a little space opera, and written by two guys who have appeared in Star Trek universe fan fic audio dramas and have a deep love for that original series.

I actually don’t appear in this one, but I co-wrote it so I’m damn well going to link it. Besides, Joe Stofko has performed brilliantly as Fleet Admiral Veers, and you don’t want to miss this performance either.

SIDE NOTE: I had the pleasure of appearing with Joe in another BrokenSea/Bill Hollweg production – The Strange Fate Of Matthew Hornblower – that you’re going to want to check out if you missed it the first time I posted about it. Me with a New England accent is worth a chuckle any day of the week.

2109: Black Sun Rising, the prequel logs

Episode 6 : The Coldness of Space

The Azimov 1 has returned to earth. All investigations have concluded. Tough decisions need to be made. Admiral Veers is a tough man.

These are all very short episodes, ranging from 8-15 minutes, so there’s no reason not to give it a try. It’s a little pulp sci-fi, a little space opera, and written by two guys who have appeared in Star Trek universe fan fic audio dramas and have a deep love for that original series.
