Radio plays, old & new, are close to my heart.In the Golden Age, radio gave Americans all over the chance to hear live theater, performed by the greatest stars of their day, for free! Today, it gives us the chance to *make* theater at low cost, which opens the door to new voices & stories not yet heard in the mainstr...

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
May 28, 2020 | -- | -- | 33:07s | Zapping between mission control and outreach, NIGHTNIGHT follows the mounting tension, jealousy, and paranoia aboard a spaceship as one of its astronauts struggles to fall asleep. I love the rhythm and pacing in this, and think the straightforw | |||||||||
March 15, 2017 | -- | -- | 29:10s | Every episode of Sunshine finds a way to out-crazy its predecessors, but this one's my fave. It begins with a ~9 minute long musical history pageant for a cult of molar-obsessed dentists. Awe-inspiringly bonkers, and laugh-out-loud funny. | |||||||||
July 14, 2019 | -- | -- | 51:02s | Vincent Price gives a chilling performance in this Victorian horror. More importantly, the writer is Lucille Fletcher, an absolute legend among suspense writers whose work literally never missed -- and this time, she comes out swinging particul | |||||||||
February 28, 2019 | -- | 22:01s | Every minute shines, but for me it's the narrator of this piece -- a cross-faded burnout at her high school reunion, accidentally revealing her old friend's terrible secrets -- giving *the* best radio performance this side of Agnes Moorehead in | ||||||||||
June 24, 2020 | -- | -- | 34:12s | This is where The Harrowing's back-and-forth narrative structure really pays off. Here, they're presenting Jackie as both the questioner and the questioned, pivoting between her tense interrogation of The Stranger and her clinical debrief after | |||||||||
November 16, 2016 | -- | 24:23s | Tbh, I could've taken any Homecoming episode and had tons to say about it. But I love the pilot in particular, because each actor establishes their performance so quickly, and *so* excellently. The busboys dialogue between David Schwimmer and C | ||||||||||
November 18, 2020 | -- | -- | 9:46s | Yeah, I wrote it. So what? It slaps. | |||||||||
May 4, 2021 | -- | -- | 23:22s | The Traverse Theatre produces some of the best plays on Earth. One problem: it’s this quirky, literally-underground joint in Scotland, which is... a quick swim from NYC.Nonetheless, by the magic of radio, they’re serving fringey realness to e | |||||||||
October 8, 2020 | -- | -- | 16:14s | Tracee Chimo Pallero’s winning performance as Delores, an up-and-coming Follies girl, makes me smile; as does the charming nostalgia for 1920s New York. | |||||||||
March 9, 2015 | -- | -- | 15:02s | Ok, ok! This is cheating. ‘Sure Thing’ is an old play written for the stage. Nonetheless, this radio production feels definitive. Peep the stealth Joe Rogan reference in the ‘politics’ scene. | |||||||||
