The Chatterbox crew (and its surprisingly enormous cast) also bring a fair amount of original material to life. As weak writing tends to be the Achilles’ heel of so much podcast radio drama — hell, of so much radio drama, period — it pleases your Podthinker to report that, here, it’s pretty sound. (No pun intended.) Though the events of “King Me” [MP3], one of those games of repeated table-turning deception, are fairly standard, they’re well-rendered. Even better are the slightly more experimental ventures, like the same author’s Fearless-like “The Separate Self” [MP3], which break from the dramatic forms you’d see on a physical stage to get creative with perspective-shifting setups only possible on radio.

Hey, look! A nice shout-out for the audio theater podcast that sometimes lets me do animal noises!
