We were thinking of posting this before the news of the Late Show’s cancellation, and certainly it will be missed for some of its topical satire, but we also like it for combining some interesting interviews with abject silliness. Case in point, Colbert interviewing the cast of Slow Horses, who are stacked with some powerhouses……

We’re always up for looking for interesting public domain works we might adapt for Jabberwocky Audio Theater, which folks may have noticed with our series Through the Looking Glass and Through a Glass, Darkly. So currently, we’ve been looking at various science fiction, fantasy, and horror from the 1920s. But apparently, we haven’t been looking…

We felt a great disturbance in the Force yesterday. It turns out that’s because actor James Earl Jones had died at the age of 93. You can read obituaries and remembrances from: Jones was a phenomenal actor, full stop. And his presence in the American theater (touched on in several of the pieces above), deserve…

Read MoreIf you’re one of our patrons on Patreon, you’ll know all the different influences that go into making our shows, many of which come from vintage radio and film. Bjorn Munson also has a frankly disturbing zeal for Star Trek, so he made sure to share this mash-up of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and…
Read MoreWhat with the casting going on for our show Quorum, we have secret societies on our mind, but what about the actual ones? As Jackie Mansky writes for Smithsonian magazine, actual secret societies are often centered around good causes (certainly as far as the members are concerned). Not only that, but these days, they’re not…
Read MoreA lot of us here in Deepest Springfield are obsessed with accents. How do we do a good Scouse accent so no one will think it’s Geordie? But with that obsession is also learning about the history of accents and how things shift. So we’re doing some research for some scripts that raise the question…
