As I mentioned back in August, one of my recent audio fiction roles was playing a slice of upper Midwestern wholesomeness in the form of Deputy Ray Lester. It was all the more fun considering the distinct unwholesomeness of what goes down in and around this little American town (like many horror podcasts, this is not broadcast-friendly). So, feel free to check out the trailer below, check out the rest of the fabulous cast and…
I’m happy to say I’m in another interesting audio fiction project that’s going into production. “Havana Syndrome” is being written and directed by award-winning storyteller Lisette Alvarez and promises to be audio spy-fi on a global scale. “But wait,” you say. “Isn’t ‘Havana Syndrome’ the name of something that really exists?” Yes! If you vaguely remember there being an attack on American personnel in Cuba by some heretofore unknown sonic weapon (or… something), that’s where…
I’m working on a few more audio fiction productions this year… even as I’ve been working on the next installment of my own. But I recently finished recording a character I really enjoyed playing. Those of you who’ve been around the upper Midwest have probably run into someone like Deputy Ray Lester… and if you like like some audio horror, then you’ll like Partial Veil… though I will say it’s way more “TV-MA” than what…
I’m very happy to announce an audio fiction gig I did some moons back, Clutch, is coming to the podwaves… today! I am part of a huge and very talented cast — and the mini-series all comes from the mind of Kennedy Phillips, whom some of you may know from Magus Elgar. But you don’t have to take my word for it! Listen (and take a look at) the many wonderful and wonderfully silly characters…
I’ve been fortunate enough to record parts for several audio fiction pieces this year and the first one to drop hits me right in the vintage radio feels. It’s a great reworking of a episode of Escape starring perennial Gunsmoke voice actor and the iconic Paladin of Have Gun, Will Travel, John Dehner. Escape is one of my favorites of those old shows and is similar to the more long-running, better known anthology show Suspense.…
I swear it was just last year that I has a couple small parts in a thoughtful science fiction, but I checked and season one of Apollyon came out in 2021. Well, season two just premiered last week and you’ll me as Riley a few times in the season… but really, you’ll want to tune in to find out what main character Theo Ramsey will do after the revelations of season one. Also, I have…
Based on the news I read this weekend, there was absolutely no reason I was not going to share the glorious discovery of the original recording session that gave the work The Wilhelm Scream. You can learn a great background of the Wilhelm Scream on Mental Floss from 2018, recently updated with this latest news. Jim Vorel has a good article on the news for Paste, an article also referenced by Luke Plunkett for Kotaku…
I may have overlooked it, but I don’t think I’ve previously done a blog post about a little known holiday today. Sure, you knew it was William Shatner’s birthday today. Sure, you knew that, at age 92, he’s still making movies and even being blasted into space. But you might not know that today is International Talk Like William Shatner Day, a minor holiday started over 10 years ago, but really deserves to be a…
What with starting the year off with a Public Domain post, I’ll continue in the intellectual property realm with a topic currently being discussed and debated mightily amongst indie artists and writers I know: how artificial intelligence (aka “A.I.”) is starting to do creative jobs. Author Chuck Wendig has some choice NSFW words on this matter. I especially appreciate him tackling the fact that the existence of technology neither means its inevitability nor that it…
I’ve mentioned previously I have a couple roles in Apollyon, a drama about dealing with a pandemic in a world 150 years from now. I can be heard in the first episode and, now, this one. If you’re a fan of thoughtful sci-fi, you may well enjoy this. I’m very happy to have been a part of it. This role was rewarding in a special way because, when I mention I’ve had to deal with…
