Show Notes

Immerse yourself in the enchanting realm of vintage radio with Noah Martin at the helm as he breathes life into The Phantom Airwaves, an original production by Retrospection Radio Theatre. See the description below to help us perform in front of a live audience.Inspired by classic works from Orson Welles, Alfred Hitchcock, and H.P. Lovecraft, The Phantom Airwaves was performed by the cast of Retrospection Radio Theatre. The Radio Theatre was fondly inspired by the likes of: Suspense!, Mystery in the Air, and Mercury Theatre on the Air. The Phantom Airwaves follows two teenage girls, Ally and Libby Weaver, as their household radio shows signs of possession. The Phantom Airwaves was written with the intention of highlighting and discussing insecurities within characters. Each character has a strong insecurity that is exploited throughout the show. The story highlights how eradicating our own insecurities can often change who we are, sometimes for the worse. The Phantom Airwaves was written over the course of 2022 and 2023. It has featured multiple iterations of the script, some iterations including only Radio, Libby, and Ally. Other iterations had Libby as the older sister with Ally as the younger sister. The script has also changed length, from a 10 page story to a 60 page story. Despite the changes to the script, the core story is fundamentally the same: a radio is possessed, and two sisters attempt to solve the problem. The story faced some challenges during the rehearsal process. Something quite beautiful about getting to do my own work is that anything can be rewritten. After every rehearsal, I asked my cast to give insights on the script. They helped me to change some wooden dialogue, and even write the commercial you hear now. Aside from script issues, sickness also ran through the cast which caused actors to miss some rehearsals. A moment of this audio drama is inspired by John De Bello's hit 1978 parody film, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes which starred David Miller, George Wilson, and Sharon Taylor. The title of the fictional film, It's Time to Die, is derived from Cary Joji Fukunaga's No Time to Die, a James Bond film from 2021 starring Daniel Craig, Ana de Armas, and Rami Malek.The Phantom Airwaves stars: Noah Martin as Narrator, Enoch John Kat Reineke as Ally Weaver Megan Elkins as Libby Weaver Elijah Zink as Caleb Keyes Ash Staten as the Radio (Homichlo'c'aft Itri) Mason Holland as Simon Sinclair, Additional Voices Judy Clapper as Additional Voices===========================Support us: 1.
