BBC Radio 7 - BBC7The Scarifyers: For King and Country
Full cast audio drama
Written by Simon Barnard and Paul Morris
Directed by Simon Barnard
Music by Edwin Sykes
Produced by Cosmic Hobo

Part one of series three of The Scarifyers, For King and Country, will be aired on February 22 at 6PM and 12AM GMT on BBC 7, continuing on consecutive Sundays in four parts. Each episode is available for six days after broadcast. Stars Terry Molloy and Nicholas Courtney.

‘Sir’ Harry Price, self-proclaimed ghost detective, has built a machine. His previous experiment – to turn a goat into a man – may have ended ignominiously, but now Harry plans to capture the spirits of the dead with his Price Ghost Captivator™. If he can make it work, that is.

Meanwhile, Londoners are being killed, in especially gruesome fashion, with their own electrical appliances. But most puzzling of all is the Faraday Murderer’s habit of leaving cryptic messages in 17th century English at the scene – cryptic messages that mention a certain Harry Price…

Age-old forces are stirring… The dead will rise… The Crown will fall. Can Lionheart and Dunning save King and Country? 

UPDATE: Okay, it’s up and streaming. Listen to part one of For King and Country here –right now!

Scott Brick podcast interviewed by Behind The Mike

SFFaudio Online Audio

Behind The Mike - The Radio Show About … Whatever!Popular audiobook narrator Scott Brick was podcast-interviewed by the people at Behind The Mike – The Radio Show About … Whatever! – the lengthy intro babble is incredibly inane and boring [skip it], but the actual interview, which runs between the 16:20 mark and the 58:04 mark is very interesting. Brick talks about his beginnings in the business, how he approaches narration, his love of radio drama, abridgements, and some of the many audiobooks he’s narrated. Have a listen |MP3|.

Crimewav: Cut Man by Christa Faust

Aural Noir: Online Audio

Crimewav podcastI first heard about Christa Faust on the Behind The Black Mask: Mystery Writers Revealed podcast. She was talking with the hosts about her Hard Case Crime novel Money Shot. I bought the paperbook of Money Shot based on that interview. It was a most excellent read – not deep, not particularity original – except that it sure felt that way – Faust knows how to write a truly compelling narrative. Money Shot has now been nominated for an Edgar award! Crimewav, the Crime fiction short story podcast, has one of her shorter works…

Every fighter needs a good cut man in his corner. Sadly, this one isn’t a man, nor is she good – she’s down right murderous.
