Welcome again!  This week we bring you tales of Heroes and Villains in the Big City.  We begin with Thomas E. Fuller’s “The Adventures of the Crimson Hawk: The Crimson and the Red” episode one  [EDIT 4-21: Whoops!  This episode was written by William Alan Ritch!].  This is a three part serial, so be sure to tell us how you like it at podcast@artc.org.  This was performed live at the coffeehouse in Little Five Points in Atlanta.  This is one of our older recordings, and we’re not exactly sure what year, but it was pre-1996.

Next up is Jonathan Strickland’s “Mildly Exciting Tales of Astonishment: Subterranean Subterfuge” recorded live at Sci Fi Summer in 2005.

Dr. Geoffry Stanhope, Investigator of Occult Phenomena: The Dweller in the Depths part 2 of 2

St. Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland (but not on a plane…unless you mean a 2-dimensional surface…nevermind).  But did he miss one?  Just what is the Loch Ness Monster?  Assuming it even exists.

Last week we brought you part one of The Dweller in the Depths, by Thomas E. Fuller, recorded live at Eddie’s Attic in Decatur, GA.  This week we bring you part two of the story, but this performance was recorded at Stone Mountain Park in 2005.

Ah, St. Patrick’s Day.  Leprechauns, shamrocks, pots o’ gold, and green things everywhere.  Well, everywhere except here.  We’ve just got lots of blarney because this week our podcast features a story set in that fabled land of…Scotland.

This week: Part one of The Dweller in the Depths, by Thomas E. Fuller.  This episode was recorded live at Eddie’s Attic in Decatur, GA back in 1997.  Next week we’ll bring you part two of the story, but the performers will be a lot different because it will have been recorded at Stone Mountain Park in 2005.  We hope you’ll hear how far we’ve come in those 8 years.

A Bridge to the Past

Duration: 18:46 Size 8.59 MB

[esplayer url = “http://traffic.libsyn.com/artc/ARTCShow26_-_A_Bridge_to_the_Past.mp3” width = “80” height = “20” title = “A Bridge to the Past”]

In the words of William Brown, “Due to technical problems beyond our control, we now join our regularly scheduled program.”

This week’s show is entitled “A Bridge into the Past.” Why? Because I needed a name and that’s what I came up with on short notice.

Bridge: Actually, one of the things you don’t usually get to hear in our podcasts, Dear Listener, is the “bridging material.” The short, often one-use scripts that ARTC producers insert into the live shows as buffers in between our more known stories. There is a small but healthy sampling included.

Past: This week’s features are a little older than our normal fare. And like the bridging material, they are also things we don’t usually podcast. ARTC has had many varied venues in its past. And veteran ARTC performers may (or may not) wax nostalgic about places such as “Eddie’s Attic,” or tip a mug of Collins Best Coffee in a remembrance of ARTC’s Coffee House Days. Or of Guerilla Radio Theater at Manuel’s Tavern.

Included: “The Adventures of Hercule Perot.” (Last name not a typo, any similarities to any Texas businessman are coincidental.) “UnResolved Mysteries Solved While You Wait: Phrenotherapy.” And “A Girl and Her Griffin.”
