Posterous theme by Cory Watilo

Radiotheater and audiodramas...

When I was a child, Denmarks Radio (DR) broadcasted what they called radiotheater. It was usually a story, like "The Hound of Baskerville", performed by actors in a theaterlike way - except that the only had voices and sound to express what happened in the story.

I've always been addicted to good storys, and those radiotheater episodes really caught me. I was glued to the chair, with either the volume cranked up on my parents loudspeakers, or a pair of headphones on. And I really miss them, after DR discontinued them.

Shortly after the podcasting wave rolled in all over the Internet, I jumped on the bandwaggon, and have listened to podcasts ever since. I rarely listen to the radio anymore. A couple of years ago, I discovered that some podcasters had used the platform to put out - tada! - audiodramas, the equivalent to the radiotheater I used to know and love.

After some searching I found a really awsome one, that I highly recommend. The Leviathan Chronicles (http://theleviathanchronicles.com/). It's so professionally performed and edited, and the storyline is awsome. And as a bonus, the storyteller has this really sexy voice! :-)

The author of The Leviathan Chronicles is Christof Laputka (awsome name), a man who is really devoted to the project. Apart from the episodes of the story itself, I've enjoyed the soapboxes that they've released between episodes, almost as much as the story itself. And the kickass music is performed by Daniel Jakubovic.

Anyways, I highly recommend you to check it out. Season 1 is out in it's full length, (25 episodes), so you can listen to it in a more coherent way than I did, as I had to wait (sometimes in a very long time) between episodes. The next season will come out in a much more coherent way too, as they will only release it, when all episodes has gone through postproduction and are ready to release. So if you like audiodramas (or as I, radiotheater) and Sci-Fi, head over to the website and subscribe to the podcast!
