Wow.  It’s hard to believe we’ve been podcasting now for one full year.  Fifty two podcasts have come and gone and now we’re starting on year two, and we’re starting it with a really special one.

Back in 2001 we received permission to perform Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett at Dragon*Con.  Furthermore, we were very priveleged to have John Rhys-Davies play the role of Lupine Wonse  When the performance was over we thought that was it…a copy of the recording was sent to Mr. Pratchett, but other than that we thought it would remain locked in the vast, cavernous ARTC archive vault.

But then we started podcasting.  And so I wrote to Mr. Pratchett and asked permission to distribute the recording and happily he agreed.

What you are about to hear, in three parts, is something I will always be proud of.  I worked very hard on the adaptation, and believe me, cutting a novel-length book down to an hour is hard work, especially when you have an attachment to the material like I did.

I’d like to thank Mr. Terry Pratchett for permission to do the adaptation, performance, and the podcast.  I’d also like to thank the late Thomas E. Fuller for his assistance with the adaptation.  And I’d like to thank all of you for helping us reach one full year of podcasting, with hopefully many more to come.

Rory Rammer, Space Marshal: The Asteroid of Love

[esplayer url = “http://traffic.libsyn.com/artc/ARTCPodcast_46-AoL-01.mp3” width = “80” height = “20” title = “Rory Rammer: Asteroid of Love”]

The Asteroid of Love (written by Ron N Butler) originally contained a song of the same name, which was a parody of an Andrew Sisters song. Obviously, this was not podcast safe. For our February 2007 show, musician Alton Leonard composed a _new_ song to replace the parody. And he performed it here with the Android Sisters, and our guests for that show, the Radio Ramblers. Of which, he is a regular member.

The cast: Announcer – Hal Wiedeman Rory Rammer – David Benedict. “Skip” Sagan – (and show host) – Daniel Whitworth Kiernan. Lavernw – Ariel Stewart. Maxine – Sarah Taylor. Patty – Clair W. Kiernan. Molly Pohl (Womanist) – Trudy Leonard. Space Marines Lieutenant – Al Przygocki. Live Foley by Lili, Sonya & Deanna Ameri. Recorded sound effects performed by Thomas Berry & Rachel Boman, provided by Henry Howard / Audio Craft Studio.

Tales of seduction. Or something.

Duration: 15m53sec Size: 10.9M

[esplayer url = “http://traffic.libsyn.com/artc/Podcast.mp3” width = “80” height = “20” title = “Tales of seduction. Or something.”]

What can I say about this podcast? Well, it’s the first sixteen minutes of a fairly recent live show: at StageDoor Players this past February (2007.) The underlying theme for this show was seduction. Originally it was supposed to have been Love, but due to scheduling difficulties, it wasn’t performed in the theater until after St. Valentines Day.

The opening music has been removed as it was not podcast safe, and there are a few other minor edits, but otherwise, the material presented is pretty much in the order that it was originally performed. Our host/announcer is Daniel Kiernan, who (upon reflection) *does* look a bit like Garrison Keillor.
