Thrilling Adventure Hour is a key drama to use to get an understanding of how they work while its techniques are something i can't use it, it is a helpful reminder what to aim for.
What Is It:
Thrilling Adventure Hour was a staged production and podcast in the style of old time radio that was held monthly at Largo, a Los Angeles nightclub located in the former Coronet Theatre.
How Do They Use Sound:
Due to its nature as in the style of an old radio show sound obviously plays an important part of this show they do this by incorporating songs and commercials from fictional sponsors.
The show's original songs were written by Ben Acker & Ben Blacker (The two main writer/creators of the show) with the composer and band leader Andy Paley.
The roots of the Thrilling Adventure Hour began in Blacker's living room where he and Acker held a reading of their film script for a space western called Sparks Nevada, Marshal on Mars. Struck by the quality of the performances, they decided to launch a stage show with a radio concert, so that the performers had the luxury of holding scripts in their hands and minimal blocking. The concert allowed Acker and Blacker to not impose too greatly on their actor friends, while maintaining a regular deadline for generating material, honing their craft and workshopping content in front of an audience.
