Beyond The Rim RELAUNCH Coming

Finally, the Long-awaited re-launching of Beyond The Rim, the dark sci-fi anthology show by A Flame in the Dark Studios is coming back!

After a false start in 2016, new shows are being written, cast, and edited. The First story (The 3-part "Shoo, Fly") is being re-edited, finally finished, and will serve as the first three episodes of the new Beyond The Rim!

And don't worry -- P.E.G. is still our go-to roboGal.

Beyond The Rim: What's Happening? 8/16/16

Hey, BtR fans. We're thrilled you enjoyed our first episode of Beyond The Rim. Or at least that you liked it enough to come back here to find out more. In any event, we're nearing the end of August, which means voice tracks for Episode 2 are rolling in and edits are underway!

We're continuing to make changes and improvements to the show as well -- the most noticeable in the coming episode being PEG 5.1's voice processing. PEG, if you aren't familiar yet with Beyond The Rim, is our robotic show host, who introduces each episode and takes you, the audience right through the end each month. (By the way, if you have a question or comment for PEG, I want to invite you personally to email her at BeyondTheRimPodcast@gmail.com.)

Final touches are also being put on the script for Episode 3, which will conclude the current story, "Shoo, Fly." Episode 4 has already been written (by the wonderful Jeffrey Conolly), and will be a standalone supernatural thriller -- just in time for Halloween!

November will feature a more traditionally sci-fi episode, and we're planning something special for Christmas!

Thank you again for joining us for this adventure. We hope you enjoy the show!

Zombie Awareness Month: Some Personal Favorites For Your Listening Pleasure

As we mentioned earlier, May is Zombie Awareness Month. To celebrate, we're sharing some of our favorite audio dramas. From classic local radio to modern podcasts, these have inspired and entertained us, moaning and clawing their way into our hearts.

The Peoria Plague (1972) - In the tradition of the infamous Mercury Radio Theatre production of "War of the Worlds," this apocalyptic tale from WUHN in Peoria, IL presented a shocking tale of terror through a series of breaking news reports and in-studio performances.


Download it from archive.org

Dreaming of a Dead Christmas (2015) - A Christmas Episode of Campfire Radio Theater. Two coeds travel a back road on their way home... and quickly wish they hadn't.

Download it from Campfire Radio!

We're Alive and We're Alive: Lockdown (2009-current)- A small group of Army Reservists pull together survivors when, out of nowhere, the dead begin animated and eating flesh. This is a great, and very professionally done series. Get it direct from the We're Alive website.

And don't forget to keep an eye out for this month's MonsterCast, where we'll revisit yet another personal favorite, from the archives of old time radio.
