Welcome to April everybody!  I trust the 2021 Spring Celebration of Your Choice was wondrous and fun as we continue bulling our way through these weird times.

Now that we're back from Spring Break (No, we do not have any risque pictures to share), we've hit the ground running.  We hope you're enjoying I Dream of You, the second season of Strangers In Paradise: The Audio Drama.  "I'm particularly proud of the musical sequence of last episode, which brought Pamela Jean Agaloos' bluesy vocals together with Liz Hanley's masterful piano arrangement," adapter/director Thomas Deja points out.  "And wait until you hear what Chris Honeywell put together for the opener of this week's episode."  The first half of Season Two will be running through May 14th.

As for 8TW's other adaptation, we begin setting the wheels in motion for this summer's first season of Ron Randall's  retro-sci-fi tale Trekker.  Show runner Eugene R. Hendricks will be conducting auditions for the production to be recorded in the coming weeks.  "Trekker is a throwback to the old style detective stories, even though it's set in the future. We will be needing a wide variety of character voices for this, to show just how wide the world is. New people are highly encouraged to try out for a part," he says.  If you'd like to try out for this serial, please send us a voice reel and request sides for the major characters at info@8tw.ninja!

Also on deck this Sunday will be the beginning of recording of Lightning Bolt: Resurrection, the first serial of the F.O.X.E.S. line, featuring characters created by David Ellis for Death Code: Ninja.  "I’ve had so much fun returning to Yuki, Sally, Friday, and Mr. Whistler from Death Code: Ninja, and the new characters have been a joy to write as well," David mentions.  "Can’t wait to hear it all acted out."  David has already submitted mini-outlines for the next couple of serials, which means we will be able to provide adventures of everyone's favorite spy-fi martial artists (and their super-intelligent pet ocelot) for months to come!

(And if you haven't heard the adventure that launched F.O.X.E.S., the Death Code: Ninja Box Set is still available at our temporary pop-up store for $5!)

And if that wasn't enough, David has also scripted the next episode of Public Domain Comic Theater, "The Monster God of Rogor."  Expect it to come down the pike after I Dream of You is done.

Over the next few updates, we plan on introducing some of our newest members (some of whom will be making their debut in Lightning Bolt: Resurrection and the next episode of Eileen Thorne!).  Keep watching this space as we continue to grow our own little corner of the internet and make the world Safe For Audio Drama!
