This week the Willamette Radio Workshop is well represented on The Society of the Inner Ear. A show about firsts has our first ever live original production, The Call of the Mummy. Originally presented on Stage and Studio on KBOO we are happy to rebroadcast it here. The play was written by Cynthia McGean, Stars Scott Jameison, Mark Homayoun, Mary Robinette Kowal, Mark Twohy and Atticus Mowry. Sound Effects are by Martin Gallagher, Original music by Scott Jameison, Produced by Robert Kowal and Sam A. Mowry directed and played the spooky voice (as usual). Special thanks to Dmae Roberts and Emily Young.

The other first is Alec Knox’s The Secret Passage, The Thing at the Lighthouse. An original audio drama in the vein of the great old time radio series. Alec wrote (from a story by himself and Preston G. Tracey) and directed the piece, jamie Haggerty did the sound design and additional editing was by Jamie Haggerty and Kasey Gifford. The art work displayed here from the CD is by Kasey Gifford and the design and layout by Tim Weakland. We met these guys through their work at Flying Rhino productions and they are wonderfully talented and crazed individuals, perfect for radio and we are honored to have them on SotIE.

We also throw in a few 5 Minute Mysteries to round out the hour. I hope you enjoy the show, Sunday September 23rd at 2pm pst on KZME 107.1 fm in Portland, Oregon. Or the podcast which will be up for about a month at SotIE Podcast. Happy listening.
