… all things must pass, and even the exciting third season of the Middlebury Radio Theater of Thrills and Suspense can’t go against the wisdom of history’s most underrated Beatle. This year we saw a massive influx of new talent into the group and produced some of our finest work. We also saw the culmination of some of our longest-running series, including Nazi Hunters and Brookshale, and planted the seeds for some exciting new pieces going forward. Among other things, you can expect Season Four to include:
- New installments of The Time Presidents and Chris Kringle: Soldier of Fortune, among others.
- Some thrilling new original pieces from our robust stable of writers.
- New and exciting genre experiments as we continue to push the boundaries of what is both possible and socially acceptable on radio.
- A weekly dramatic serial? It could happen!
- A dazzling cast and crew, featuring your old favorites and a variety of new and exciting voices!
- And, of course, the heaping helping of madness you’ve come to expect from us.
This summer we’ll be working hard to prepare for our September 2008 premiere, and will be making updates to this site. Until we return to the air, we encourage you to listen to our podcast and browse our archives for old material. We’d love to hear what you think of the show, so feel free to contact us as well. Season Four is coming, folks, and we hope to make it our best yet! Until then, on behalf of all of us here at the Middlebury Radio Theater of Thrills and Suspense, thanks for listening.
Be sure to tune in to WRMC 91.1 FM tonight to hear yet another exciting episode of the Middlebury Radio Theater of Thrills and Suspense! We’ve got an action-packed show tonight that we’re sure you’re all going to enjoy. First, Derek Long directs Nick Smith, Alex Revelas, and Kofi Appiah in The Man Who Wasn’t There, adapted from the Coen Brothers’ neo-noir classic. Then, Aviva Bannerman makes her writing and directing debut with the story of John, a musician struggling to choose between the woman he loves and the music he needs. And stay tuned for Stefan Claypool’s adaptation of Fin Fang Foom, starring Bill Noble as the heroic anti-Communist Chan Liu Chow. And of course, you’ll hear all of the drama and romance of Brookshale: A Soap Opera. The show starts at 7:00 Eastern Time. Don’t miss it!
That’s right, we’ve created a new holiday to commemorate Saturday’s performances! First, Dave Malinsky directs Bobby Joe Smith, Jessie Gurd, Derek Long, Lilli Stein, and Noah Mease in our adaptation of Cecil B. DeMille’s The Buccaneer, the rollicking tale of a pirate fighting for America and the woman he loves in the War of 1812. And then stay tuned for the debut of Noah Mease’s Victorian-horror-romance-mystery Penny Dreadful in “The Terror of London”, starring Heather Ward, Lilli Stein, Stefan Claypool, Bill Noble, and Derek Long. And we’ll have a surprise or two in store for you as well! You won’t want to miss this one, so be sure to tune in Saturday night at 7:oo PM eastern time!
It is with a heavy heart that we must announce that only one more adventure with Skip Murphy and Duke Fowler is planned. Alas, only one more run in with the “original Weimar baby”. Only one more ’speech’ by Winifred.
For you listening pleasure, episodes 1-4 (two is one of our “lost” episodes).
Skip Murphy and Duke Fowler in “Rendezvous with Oblivion”
Skip Murphy and Duke Fowler in “O Tannenbaum of Despair” (lost)
Skip Murphy and Duke Fowler in “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hitler”
Skip Murphy and Duke Fowler in “The Master Space Race”
Finally, a short poll to tide you over:
Loading ...Hi, folks. As we’re coming up on Middlebury’s Spring Break, we’d like to remind you all that we’ll be on hiatus for the next two weeks. We’ll return to our regular broadcasting schedule on Saturday, April 5. We promise an exciting second half of Season 3.5, but until then, enjoy our podcasts!
Such a statement must seem like hyperbole in the wake of extravagant productions like Escape From Robot Planet, Chris Kringle: Soldier of Fortune, and Gunsmoke: Cheap Labor, but we cannot overstate the epic nature of tonight’s broadcast. Yes, finally, after months of anticipation, we will be bringing you Derek Long’s adaptation of Alfred Hitchcock’s North by Northwest, starring Stefan Claypool, Jessie Gurd, and Bobby Joe Smith. We’re pulling out all the stops tonight, so be sure to tune into WRMC 91.1 FM at 7:00 PM EST to hear the most spectacular production radio has ever known!
