This month we go all the way back to 1993 and the Little Five Points community coffeehouse where our listeners enjoyed monthly performances from ARTC. Many of our most memorable series were born here as the writers frantically tried to keep up with this breakneck pace in live performance, including the Adventures of the Crimson Hawk, Rory Rammer Space Marshal, and Bumpers Crossroads. We bring you now two episodes of Daniel Taylor's gripping serial of the little town that time forgot, beginning with The Traffic Light and concluding with The Developer.

Podcast 80 - Christmas Rose
Size: 7M Duration: 14:54
Well, here we are. The end of another year of podcasting for ARTC. Ok, fine, we didn't exactly podcast for the whole year, but the point is that we took some needed time off and came back with a better situation than we had before. We're looking forward to podcasting at least monthly and more often when we can.
This week we bring you Christmas Rose by Kelley S. Ceccato, performed live at the Academy Theatre in Avondale Estates, GA, on December 6 and 7, 2008.
This story is one of my personal favorites of Kelley's. She's written lots of stuff for us and continues to improve in her craft and we are very lucky to have her. We hope you enjoy it.
As we move into the New Year we at ARTC hope that all of you enjoy all of the magic that your imaginations can provide. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone and we'll see you next year!

72 - The Long Road: Red Butte Run
After over six months of being off the air the Atlanta Radio Theatre Company is bringing its podcast back on a monthly schedule. Why monthly? Because we're still not done with the archiving, but we couldn't bear to be away any longer. How long will the monthly updating last? We'll have to see.
Thanks so much to everyone who has hung in there. For now we're going to shoot for the second Thursday of every month by 8pm and in between I'll try to report any news that may be of note.
Remember, ARTC is supported by people like you through the sale of our studio productions. Order by mail through www.artc.org or make it easy on yourself and us by downloading from audible.com or iTunes.
A quick note about iTunes: For some reason you can't search for us by our name, you have to search by title or author. So make www.artc.org your first stop to make your selection, then scoot on over to iTunes for the download. You'll also find audio samples and trailers there, so it's well worth your visit.

Cthulhu Tuesday - The Wrong Medium
Every now and again, I do a web search for "Lovecraft news", just to see what comes up. Among the finds this time were these DVD reviews:
H. P. Lovecraft's From Beyond
Regina Leader-Post
Sporting cheap and often laughable special effects, this film presumably expected to horrify people with its alien-like creature bursting through a skull and other "scary" special effects. But even by 1986 standards, the effects are fake-looking, as are the blood and guts that are scattered liberally through the film, and it's considerably less scary than it is funny.
...Entirely forgettable, From Beyond has little to offer other than laughs at its campiness, and a reminder of how low-budget filmmaking by those with higher aspirations looked, back in the day.

H.P. Lovecraft's the Tomb
REEL ADVICE
I resolve to never again knowingly write about anything that Ulli Lommel does.
Lommel's The Tomb defies explanation. He's locked a bunch of people in that all-too-familiar warehouse set of his and let them run around in a vaguely Saw kind of atmosphere as they try to accomplish the ludicrous task of figuring out why they're there in the first place and the much more rational task of trying to get out alive.
I'd like to recommend that you forego these gems and try an audio-drama adaptation of H. P. Lovecraft's works. The special effects in your own mind are much better than anything Hollywood can build.
Modesty forbids me from pointing out that one popular source makes its latest live production, The Colour Out of Space, available for free download.
And if that one satisfies, there's a five-part adaptation of The Shadow Over Innsmouth featuring author (and gifted actor) Harlan Ellison, also for free.
For now...

Cthulhu Tuesday - The Nameless Dread

The woman who originally mashed-up The Family Circus and H. P. Lovecraft has taken the images down, reportedly to avoid fame for the wrong reasons. One or two of them can still be found, though, and I have no such reservations. Beer & Meat had this one.

Welcome everyone to the last Christmas podcast of the year. We conclude the season with another very recent show, Sunday, December 23 to be exact. And we are proud to bring you a segment of An Atlanta Christmas that has never been presented before. "Civil War Triptych", written by Thomas E. Fuller, follows the Christmas stories of three characters, each with an entirely different situation and take on the season.
Again, technical reasons prevented me from including the performer's names in the audio, but they are Clair W. Kiernan, Veronica Byrd, and Jeff Montgomery. Assisting with the song at the end are Dawn Marie and Sarah Taylor. Special thanks to our performance coach, Doug Kaye.

Back in 2004 ARTC performed an outdoor show at Stone Mountain Park for their Frontier Days festival. We've brought you some of that material here in the podcast before and today we revisit it with Mike Langford's Blazing the Trail of Tears in two parts. The timing of this story for this podcast is not lost on us. It is not a proud part of Georgia or American history, but it is an important one. We hope you enjoy the presentation.
