Introducing… ZBS: Audio Adventure At Its Finest
Today, Friday September 17th, sees the start of a new set of radio drama series from our friends at ZBS Foundation. Beginning as a commune of radio producers in an island studio farm in upstate New York, the “Zeebers” started by creating radio commercials and other projects including albums for DJs to promote new record company releases.
In 1972 they created their first radio drama series, The Fourth Tower of Inverness, about an intrepid and unintentional adventurer, Jack Flanders, who sets about discovering the mysteries inside a hidden tower in an old Victorian mansion. We’ll be broadcasting The Fourth Tower starting next week, Friday 24th.
This week, we are bringing you a special 80-minute introduction to the work of ZBS Foundation, at 12 noon and 4pm Pacific / 8pm or midnight in the UK.
The Black Mass 30: Flies by Anthony Vercoe
Join us on Friday, September 10th, at a little after 12 noon or 4pm Pacific time / 8pm or midnight in the UK, for the final episode in the landmark radio drama series The Black Mass, created by the late Erik Bauersfeld and his colleagues at the Pacifica radio station KPFA in Berkeley, California, over fifty years ago. In 30 chilling tales of mystery, imagination and the human mind, The Black Mass has brought you some of literature’s most haunting stories, by masters of the craft — many of whom are best-known in other fields. Our thanks as always to John Whiting, producer of many of these recordings, and of course to Erik Bauersfeld himself.
