Radio horror serial launching January 30
 |
January 30 marks the return of serialized radio drama to the Atlanta airwaves. Kennesaw State University radio (www.ksuradio.com) will begin airing Harry Strange, a radio serial stylized on the classic radio dramas of the 40s and 50s but playing against a contemporary backdrop. The season one teaser is available here.
The story, written by Tony Sarrecchia, centers on Harry Strange, a private investigator whose beat is the supernatural and paranormal. “If you’re a fan of Supernatural, Buffy/Angel or Doctor Who, you’ll enjoy Harry Strange,” Sarrecchia said.

| “We’re excited and thrilled to be bringing this style of radio back to the airwaves,” said Reggie Joseph, General Manager of the student run radio station. “This type of experimental programming is what people expect from college radio. We are happy to be the ones to give it to them.”
In addition to playing on KSU radio, the episodes will be available on iTunes as free downloads. At the end of Season 1, there will be a DVD release for sale featuring interviews with the actors and behind the scenes footage.
Featured in the cast are Kellen Stennett (1940’s Radio Show, The Hobbit) Sylvia Galan (The Fat Boy Chronicles, Mad Money), Tisch Cistrunk-Parmelee (Aether Age anthology, The Voice), Parisa Johnston (Everything's For Sale, Final Etiquette), Jason Tyler (Fast Fixes HGTV, The Signal) and others.

Audio Drama Rating System - Jack Ward of The Sonic Society explains the rational for establishing a voluntary rating system for audio:
Audio Drama on the Internet has become a renewed golden age of entertainment. So many new companies and individuals have created plays and stories and are distributing them through Internet Radio, Direct Downloads, Streaming and of course Podcasts. But as we become a larger and more robust community, it becomes more and more difficult to sort out which show is most appropriate for which audience. As an educator and a father, I know I would love to be able to point more families, teachers and students to a number of different audio play productions.
