Snark Tank Productions

Well folks it was really busy last week and I forgot to post about the best thing I listened to on the week of 4/27/2009, so this week you get a double feature as I catch up.

For the week of 4/27/2009 my favorite piece of audio was Sonic Gold’s presentation of Colonial Radio Theatre’s Barrymore. Barrymore is an adaptation of a one-man stage show about the life of actor John Barrymore. And it is truly sonic gold.

The Colonial Radio Theatre’s production of Barrymore is by far one of the best pieces of audio drama I have ever heard. Jerry Robbins is masterful, as is the rest of the cast, in bring this story to life. Before I heard this piece I barely knew who John Barrymore was and by the end I was weeping for him. This is powerful stuff that should not be missed.

For the week of 4/31/2009 my favorite piece of audio is the audio book version of Soon I Will Be Invincible: A Novel by Austin Grossman. The story itself is one of the best superhero stories I have heard in a really long time. And the performance of the story by Paul Boehmer and Coleen Marlo is great. If you want more details on the book I talked about it in detail on the episode of Snark Infested Waters dated 5/7/2008. Needless to say I am definitely looking forward to the future work of Austin Grossman as well as the voice work of Paul Boehmer and Coleen Marlo, there readings really brought the characters to life for me. So if you like super heroes and super villains go pick up a copy right now.
