Also out today is a sneak peek of The Crossover Adventures next full length story West Wind.
DAM Productions brings us another full cast audio drama written by James D Quinton. The Doctor and his companions arrives in 16th Century England where they encounter the legend of a mysterious dark beast known as the Black Shuck. It certainly evokes all the qualities of a classic chiller to curl up in front of the fireplace with. Enjoy it either streamed or downloaded.

Another audio group has recently arrived on the scene. This time it is a small group of youngsters making both audio drama and audiobook stories. It’s early days for aspiring Cat Flap, not least because most of the group are about 12 or 13 years old, so don’t expect the polish of older teams. Actors are doing lots of multiple roles, and it could do with some more music and sound effects. However, what they lack in experience is given a boost from enthusiasm. It’s also very encouraging to see audio drama reaching out to a new audience.
There are over half a dozen stories up on their youtube channel. Put ‘audio’ or ‘audiobook’ in the search box and everything should come up. I’ll be putting the story titles into the database shortly.
BrokenSea have put up a short video from the series creator Steven Jay Cohen. In it are a few of his thoughts on the current season, its story arcs and inception. Along with teasers for the 2010 season, plus a spin off series.
It also includes an open call to Doctor Who audio script writers for their story proposals. A chance to get involved with a well produced and established series no less. Details of what to send and where are in the video.
