Episode 090: The One With A Radio Play

Published: Aug. 12, 2020, 12:23 a.m.

Welcome to a very special episode of the Coffee Sprudgecast. For this show we\u2019re trying something a little different, so get a little snack or beverage ready\u2014maybe a nice cup of coffee\u2014and settle in. Here at Sprudge, we are lifelong fans of the radio play \u2014 a lost art that enjoyed its golden era in the 1920s and 1930s, before the popular adoption of television. In some ways, today\u2019s podcast boom is reminiscent of these radio days, where shows like The Shadow, Dragnet, and Dimension X captured the national imagination. This week\u2019s episode of The Coffee Sprudgecast is inspired by this era of radio, but with a thoroughly modern twist. What you\u2019re about to hear is an audio reimagining of an original piece of horror fiction that first appeared on Sprudge in the fall of 2018. Authored by Sprudge Editor At Large Michelle Johnson, the piece is called \u201cThe Panel\u201d \u2014 and it\u2019s performed on this episode of the Coffee Sprudgecast by audio actor Nova Omega.
