You can also get a visual on this performance at our YouTube site so you can see what everybody is laughing about 10 or 11 minutes into the piece. (That is to say, about two minutes into part two below.)

107 - Whatever happened to be lying around...

This month we bring you a collection of random material. A hodgepodge of bridging, commercials, random comments, and other bits of flair that give each of our shows its personality but don't make much sense out of context. Some of them are fake, some of them are ad libbed, but the ones about us needing help are totally true.

ARTC is growing. we're still an all-volunteer organization, but our message of quality audio drama is spreading and we want you to be a part of it. we welcome virtually everybody, but we're particularly looking for the following:

• Musicians interested in learning how to score for audio drama!
• Grantwriters!
• Marketing assistance!
• Producers and Directors!
• Painters and Illustrators (for posters and product covers)!
• Audio engineers for live performance, studio mixing, and archiving!
• and, of course, we love writers and actors! The more the merrier!

So if you're looking for a unique outlet for your creative energies in a fun, relaxed atmosphere, drop us a line at volunteer AT artc DOT org. Many of these roles don't require you to be in the Atlanta area thanks to the magic of the internet, so no matter where you live you can help create Adventures in Sound!

101 - A Tribute to Brad Weage

In this episode of the podcast, we pay tribute to the memory of Brad Weage, longtime composer and friend to ARTC and its members, who passed away on August 22, 2010 from complications of double pneumonia.

Brad composed many of the themes for our serials including Rory Rammer, Space Marshal, The Brotherhood of Damn Sassy Mutants, Mildly Exciting Tales of Astonishment, and The Jane Handley-Page Show. He also lent his talents to our feature-length studio works including The Passion of Frankenstein, The Menace From Earth, The Doom of the Mummy, and Solution Unsatisfactory to name but a few.

He performed live with us often. If you ever heard ARTC live, there's an excellent chance you heard Brad. If you heard us live more than once, it's a virtual certainty.

100th Podcast Episode!

We made it! 100 episodes of ARTC's Podcast. Y'know, we really need a catchier name for this thing. If you have an idea for a great new name, send it on to podcast@artc.org.

But we digress.

For the 100th episode, we knew we had to bring out all the stops, come up with something so spectacular that it would blow everyone away and leave everyone talking about how we could possibly top it. Unfortunately, we didn't get permission to use it, so we went for the next best thing (and set ourselves up for an awesome episode 200) and went with our Dragon*Con 2000 performance of Rory Rammer, Space Marshal: Queen of the Spaceways.

Not only is Rory Rammer one of our most popular and requested series, but in this episode the role of Rory Rammer is played by none other than Ted Raimi! Joining him in this star-studded cast are Alexandra Tydings and Claire Stansfield!

If you're enjoying the podcast, be sure to tell your friends. And tell us, too. We're your friends, right? So tell us you like it so we'll want to keep doing it!
