Posted by Jack B. Rochester in Audio Arts, Audio Arts, Podcasts

Hello there, you faithful, loyal, intrepid, adventure-seeking audiophiles. It’s Jack, Fictional Cafe’s hosta witha mosta, pinch-hitting for Ruby who is on vacation (sure hope she comes back!).

“Journeys in the Dark” created by Robert Best

Posted by Ruby Fink in Audio Arts

Journeys In The Dark a post-apocalyptic dark comedy. Created by Robert Best, directed by David Barr, and produced by David Barr and Alan O’Brien. Journeys in the Dark is a mix between Of Mice and Men’s Odd Couple and the post-apocalyptic dark humour of Red Dwarf. This audio drama follows the adventures of our two mismatched heroes Hod and Baulder. Throw in supernatural monsters, bandits, and the daily fight for survival and you’ve got an absurd dark comedy audio drama podcast that’s sure to tickle your funny bone while making you question reality. It wasn’t always smooth sailing. Recorded in 2016 but left on the cutting room floor. Years of delays, international moves, and more than one child almost left this gem buried in the dust. But in late 2023, the winds shifted, and production…
