This week we go a little far afield and right onto the pitch.  This is the IDS World Cup Preview show with a fellow actor that is as soccer (football) crazy as I am.  This week’s guest prognosticator is affectionately known to all IDSers as Narcoleptic Fits of Rage but more commonly known as Eric D. Pasto-Crosby.  Enjoy!

Happy Memorial Day!  It’s that time of year again!  The second summer of IDS’s Summer Repertory Theatre on the Intrawebs!!  The IDS starts this summer’s venture with an episode of  Escape: The Time Machine.  Enjoy!

From Generic Radio Workshop:

“We Promise You…Escape!” makes a suitable counterpoint to those tales “Well-Calculated to Keep You in…Suspense!” — an anthology of high adventure to contrast with Suspense’s low cunning. Some stories could adapt to either program (and several were) , but Escape emphasized the thrills to Suspense’s chills. Three Skeleton Key may be Escape’s best-remembered episode, and creating the sound of hundreds of rats is still a challenge for any audio effects artist today.

Paul Frees and William Conrad were two of the brilliant late-era radio talents who added a dose of testosterone to the exiting adventures for listeners who “tired of the everyday grind.”

This IDS Episode Features…

Brad Oxnam as Filby and Wena

John Mauldin as Dudley.

This is the fourth and  last installment of IDS’s coverage of the 38th Humana Festival of New American Plays hosted by Actors Theatre of Louisville.  Helping the IDS round out its coverage are the Ten Minute Playwrights:  Rachel Bonds [Winter Games], Jason Gray Platt [Some Prepared Remarks (A History in Speech)], Gregory Hischak [Poor Shem].

One of the mics died while our conversation takes place which tragically affects the audio quality of this episode…The IDS apologizes for this inconvenience.  The IDS also apologizes to Rachel Bonds who is very hard to hear in this episode due to the failing microphone but we swear that she was; in fact, in the room. 

This episode is heavily edited to make something out of nothing in regards to the poor audio quality.  The editing choices should not and were not meant to reflect poorly on the content or this episode’s guests.  Once again the IDS feels terrible about this and has summarily shot the offending microphone.
