Everything must come to an end. And so it goes with the serial we’ve been bringing you for the last three weeks, “The Adventures of the Crimson Hawk: The Crimson and the Red” by Thomas E. Fuller [EDIT 4-21: Whoops! This episode was written by William Alan Ritch!]. This is the third and final installment in this particular saga, but there’s plenty more where that came from. We currently have almost twenty adventures of the Crimson Hawk, so if you like them be sure to let us know!
Also this week we bring you an ARTC favorite, “Bumpers Crossroads: Hide, A Cow’s Outside” by Daniel Taylor. The last word on the end of a lot of bad jokes. This was recorded live at the Gwinnett History Center back in 1999.
And lest you forget that we have more recent work available, there’s also a short sample from our studio release of Robert A. Heinlein’s “The Menace From Earth”.

Hello again, and welcome to another ARTC podcast. This week I’ve chosen to call the episode “Continuity” for a couple of reasons. First, we’ll be continuing the episode of “The Crimson Hawk” that we began last week by playing part two of “The Crimson and the Red” by Thomas E. Fuller [EDIT 4-21: Whoops! This episode was written by William Alan Ritch!].
Next we’ll bring you “Unresolved Mysteries, Solved While U Wait: A Very Special Creation” by Ron N. Butler, which, without giving too much away, deals with the continuity of the universe.
[esplayer url = “http://traffic.libsyn.com/artc/ARTC31-Heroes.mp3” width = “80” height = “20” title = “Heroes and Villains in the Big City”]
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.

[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.”
