abVoices presents: Bat-Supe! Old Time Radio’s “Adventures of Superman” featuring Superman and the Dynamic Duo!

Having uncharacteristically taken a long nap, Clark Kent was awakened to a phone call from Bruce Wayne informing him of another bank robbery 50 minutes away in Groveton. Wasting no more time, Superman and Batman flew to the scene to learn what happened. A pair of eyewitnesses tell their story, but what they have to say isn’t exactly helpful. Will Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne be able to unravel it all before the next robbery? Plus, in today’s Important Message, Billy shows us just how challenging the Shell Game is!

Part 3 of “Is There Another Superman” was originally broadcast on January 31, 1946!

The air is thick with the scent of damp stone and the echoes of laughter from the fading carnival. But beneath the revelry lies a sinister plot. Step into the chilling darkness of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado." Betrayal, revenge, and a descent into the catacombs await. Join us in this Moonlight Audio Theatre exclusive as abVoices uncorks this classic tale of calculated horror, narrated by Andy Hartson-Bowyer.

Plus, in today’s Important Message, we begin the countdown to our next Swell Prize, and you’ll need to put on your thinking caps for this one!

NO SOAP RADIO -- Suspense: The Whole Town's Sleeping

Our 6th NO SOAP RADIO production, created in September, 2023. This is a recreation of the 1955 Suspense program - "The Whole Town's Sleeping". In this show our production values took a leap forward. This was our first time incorporating a green screen into the video production, allowing us to place our performers into our own graphic backgrounds, and simultaneously remove all microphones from the shot.

Listeners may be interested to know that No Soap’s Annette Bochenek (who plays Lavinia Nebbs) has her own website, Hometowns To Hollywood, where she takes deep dives into Hollywood characters, both famous and obscure. Check it out: https://hometownstohollywood.com/

This show was produced, directed and edited by Paul Kovit. Paul also recreated many of the original music cues in GarageBand using instrument samples from the app. These cues were surreptitiously blended with some of the original cues. In addition, Larry Groebe of Project Audion provided a bunch of foley work for this production. We hope you like the end result.
