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.”

Send the kids to bed early, because this week’s steamy offering of audio ear candy is a suspenseful story called “Can You Hear Me,” written by Thomas E. Fuller.

No voice intro for this show. Despite miscommunication and general behind the scenes random mayhem, this week’s podcast is NOT canceled.
There *was* a voice intro recorded. It was meant to sound off the cuff and laid back and funny, but it ended up sounding half-planned and disorganized. (It was.) Anyway, the show lineup has changed several times in the last few hours.
In no particular order:
We have 2 episodes of “Rory Rammer, Space Marshall:” written by Ron N. Butler. One is “The Island of Dr. Marceau” and the other is only ever talked about in hushed, furtive whispers: “The Lost Episode.”
And, an episode of “Mildly Exciting Tales of Astonishment,” by Jonathan Strickland: Ps and Q’s.
Also included are a pair of Public Service Announcements from the “Brotherhood of Damn Sassy Mutants,” by Sketch Quinn.
No time for credits. If you want to know, you’ll just have to ask nicely.

Hope everyone is having a happy new year. To start out 2007 we’re going to get back to our roots by presenting The Colour Out of Space by H. P. Lovecraft, adapted by Ron N. Butler, and performed live at Dragon*Con 2006. This was our only show at Dragon*Con this year, so if you missed it then this is your chance! We’ve performed at every Dragon*Con since the first, and Lovecraft has always been one of our mainstays.
