Okay, so there are few people in any part of the Globe who are unaware of Halloween on the 31st October. The great media marketing machinery makes sure that every child under 12 insists on at least a plastic pumpkin or two, and a costume of his /her favourite super hero.
Long gone are the days when your choice was limited to a Devil or Demon, mostly for the boys, and maybe an Angel for the girls. And sadly some rather nasty experiences in the past have precluded the kids to go as a group knocking on strangers’ doors with the demand for a “Trick or Treat”. (And woebetide the neighbour who tries to smartarse them with a trick.)
Ghosts and Goblins
Of course traditionally, we should be celebrating All Hallows Eve, when the Dead, the UnDead and Ghosts and Goblines and Things that go Bump in the Night take over our streets and our nightmares. Such an opportunity cannot be missed in the podcasting world either, and I suggest a listen to Virtual Reality may bring a smile. While this little drama was first released back in 2019 it missed Halloween so it is perfect for a re-run. Alternatively, here at G’Day from Oz we are delighted to announce the first of our Collaborative Production Podcastss in the form of Secrets of the Cemetery.
Secrets of the Cemetery is a Collaborative Audio Drama performed y artists from the U.K., USA and Australia. It is a wonderful example of how creative we can all be with limited tools. Allow 25 minutes with your favourite coffee fix.
We will be having a chat with the performers in the next few weeks. Patti Cassidy, Award winning Scriptwriter from Boston, Jane Bovell and Tom Lee Hynes from Hand to Mouth Theatre in the U.K., as well as our local Jennifer and Steve Haynes, and Richard Edwards from Australia
Another guest coming up shortly is Julie Hoverson from Seattle. Julie has her own spooky, quirky podcast show, 19 Nocturne Boulevard, and has just released Dreams in a Witch House, an adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft’s cosmic horor fantasies. Perfect for Halloween. And incidentally, you can also catch Julie as Wannarbee Bond in the insane Valantine Day Massager
