Fire at Will

A weekly science fiction cliffhanger
Produced by David Reed and the Radio of Clark University, XRCU
Sound provided by David Bernstein and Emily Kirchherr

David Reed's first foray into radio drama channels the spirit of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in this wacked-out science fiction comedy, which includes several non-corporeal protagonists, alien death rays that turn people into chocolate cake, and a space ship inhabited by a strange old man whose only purpose is to provide a running monologue of off-the-wall complaints. And a duck.

Featuring the voices of Jan Zukowski (90% of the time) as George Carpenter, Jeremy Goodman as Jupiter, Jennifer Kilbane as Destiny, Betsy Hopkins as the Evil Leader of the Wills, Elsa Berendes as Penelope and Carrie, Randy Mack as Corporal Punishment; with Sundrop Carter, Tom Guyette, Ken Danila, and Steve Siegmund. But honestly, the cast shifted from week to week.

First Light

Building a City on the Edge of History
Written by David Reed, Produced by Clark University Radio Theatre and SPOC
Sound effects courtesy of David Bernstein and Emily Kirchherr, David Reed, Alex Holmann, Sean Prager

It began in chaos, when the great spaceship callled the Kaylan fell from the sky. Half of those on board were killed; the other half, stranded on a strange and dangerous world. Held hostage by forces they cannot control, the people of Kaylan do not know how it will finally end, just before dawn, in a city on the edge of history. Listen to the words, for the words bring the pictures, and the story will tell itself.
