COOL! Fred Greenhalgh, of Radio Drama Revival, was inspired by my post called “The Most Dangerous Meme” to re-adapt Richard Connell’s short story, The Most Dangerous Game, as a new audio drama! Sez Fred:
“Closing the month of September is a production I’m thrilled to share with you. It’s the first work out of a three-part collaboration of FinalRune Productions and the Mad Horse Theater Company. The project took classic old time radio plays and brought them to life with modern day field recording, and what fun it was!
The play today is The Most Dangerous Game, by Richard Connell, which was broadcast originally on Escape! and Suspense.”
As you can see by the pic above, a “modern day field recording” sound is really what this is. I fell deeply in love with this style of audio drama after listening to Roger Gregg’s Infidel. Have a listen!

Jesse,
Thanks for the writeup! So glad you enjoyed it.
I, too, got the inspiration to record audio drama in the field from Roger Gregg. In fact, I’ve taken equipment recommendations from him too and the rig we used to record this play is very similar to what he used in “Infidel.”
It has some challenges (airplanes and tourists were especially meddlesome during this shoot) but I think the final product makes it well worth the work. Plus it’s durn fun to be running around in lighthouses with people giving you strange looks!
