But as one daring young girl finds out, there is beauty in the beast, and more beasts than one easily sees . . .

Well, if you’re even the slightest fan of modern audio drama then the name of the Decoder Ring Theatre is a familiar one — Gregg Taylor and his merry band of miscreants have been producing noir drama in the OTR-style with a contemporary twist for going on two years now, and has attracted a strong cult following in the process.
So it’s with great pleasure that we welcome Decoder Ring Theatre to the show, with an incredibly unconventional episode of The Red Panda.
Following the story of a Christmas eve under assault by some of Toronto’s lowlifes is a chat with Gregg Taylor himself, who has plenty of wit and passion to share about the art and his craft.
Fill yourself up a big glass of eggnog and open your ears up for this one!

This program includes an interview with Jeffrey Adams, leading creative force behind the Icebox Radio Theater of International Falls, Minnesota. Jeff’s radio history is long and notable, and his passion clear: rather than bury his theater career when moving to the Borderland, as some might, Jeff started something where he was, culling fantastic tales out of the barren landscape of a town notable because of its apperances on the weather channel.
Whether it’s epic tales of the Borderland or twisty sci-fi/fantasy/horror genre tales, Jeff loves to craft tales of wonder and delight. Tune in for this opportunity to hear him speak on the art he loves.

In this episode, Fred Greenhalgh and Company finished cleaning up the wrapping paper in time to air two tales coming from two desperately different spheres . . . or, as he likes to say “Naughty or Nice.” Enjoy a new tale from Buffy Between the Lines and a modern classic from the fine artistry of Jeffrey Adams.
