I am sorry to say The Listening Post is now closed; possibly for good, but hopefully not. Due to circumstances beyond my control I will be forced to give up The Listening Post for the foreseeable future. This closure includes the Twitter feed and the news reports I was compiling for Wander Radio and Audio Cinema Review. If I can make a return at some point in the future I will; but it has become increasingly clear that I cannot sustain this project at this point in my life. Thank you all for the huge amount of support you have given this website.
I want to publicly thank all those who helped me mold this site into what it became. It was rarely easy, but it was always fun and I always appreciated your input. I also want to thank all the amazing fans, producers and cast members of the various shows that are out there right now. Please continue to keep this format alive and ticking. Thank you to the various producers for supporting this website and allowing me to talk about your projects and your unabashed passion for stories told with sound. Audio drama clearly has a place in our modern world; Fans prove audio drama is still relevant, everytime they download a new episode. Producers prove audio drama still has a place, even in the age of 3D graphics and high definition video everytime they put together a new episode or series, using nothing but sound but people still tune in. Its not always easy to find and build an audience in this format, but it is always worth a try.
If your coming here for the first time please check out the various posts and pages. There’s a rich repository of audio drama news, shows and website listings that may well remain active long after this notice is written. In short, please stay awhile and look around. You’ll be surprised what you find.
No matter what the future holds for myself or The Listening Post, Audio Drama is here to stay.
The End?
