Astral Audio Productions is teaming up with Zack the Mothman Daggy to bring his novel Project 31 to life. This is the first of three novels in the Dark Worlds Trilogy and I can’t wait to help Zack unleash the audio version upon the masses. We are looking for voice talent who would be interested in participating in this podcast novel. Astral Audio Productions will be in charge of much of the production and making this vision a reality. If all goes according to plan, we are shooting for an October 31 release date of the first episode.
For the audition file requirements and where to send them, visit the contact page and follow the instructions given. If you have any questions, please contact me on Twitter or email me. Lines are due March 27, 2010; the results will be released on here and also on the Moth Pod at a later date. Read more

It is early in the morning and I find myself contemplating what I want to do in the next couple of months as far as the main Astral Audio Productions website is concerned. Already, I have some ideas. Mostly, this is content related. There a nice group of people behind the scenes waiting to be heard and I haven’t given them the proper credit they deserve. So once the next few planned podcast episodes roll out, I plan on haulting any podcast creation for the near future or at least cut down to one a month or so. I want to really buckle down and improve what you see when coming here. This means more about the actors – who they are, noteable roles they’ve been in, recent projects etc – more about myself, my personal thoughts on issues, my goals, and the random cool bits of info I find on a regular basis – more about podcasting in general, defining and showing examples of podcasts that influence us here at Astral Audio Productions – an. . . .
What do you want to see? Seriously, you come for the podcast episodes or because someone told you to check this place out. But what do you want from us to keep your interest?
This is your chance to shine. As one of our own has come under personal and financial difficulties, we can band together as one voice to lift him up and show how much we care. Tee Morris is synonymous with playing Shakespeare in Chasing The Bard, and it is with this in mind that we are going to do a reading of John Donne’s Holy Sonnet X. What we need from you is simple, a quick comment on this post telling me that you’d like to be a part of this project. Pip and I will break down who will say which line. And what is more, the rest can say the entire poem and will be added in as a background chorus of sorts. At the end of the reading, there will be a call to action for the listener to donate to the Chip In fund as well as a declaration of our emotional support to Tee Morris.
Update Sat Jan 9, 2010 at 6:45 PM CST — Due to the overwhelming support and volunteers, we are going to also do a reading of A Psalm of Life by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow for the auction for Sonic Boom so if you aren’t used for the first poem, you will be used in the second! Read more
Word blindsided many as those in the podcasting and social media space were rocked with the news of Tee Morris’s loss. His wife’s sudden death has impacted those of us who know Tee, know the love he has for his daughter, and our collective hearts go out to both of them. We at Astral Audio Productions would like you to help in any way you can. The industrious Kiwi in our cast started a chip in fund to help offset any costs Tee will have in the coming weeks. Any amount you can give is encouraged. (This post will be updated with more information of what those in the podcasting community are doing for the Morris family as it develops.)
Every year, around this time of year (where the last one ends and this one begins), a vast majority of humanity makes one mistake. I don’t mean having too much to drink; that is the obvious answer. What I’m talking about is the whole concept of that habitual promise to improve oneself just because a new year is knocking on the doorstep. The fact that everybody is doing it makes it as cliché as reality TV shows or like all the so-called musicians who are using autotune as if it were the greatest application since the microwave. Does the idea of having resolutions for the new year have as much of a damaging effect on the product as reality TV for the television industry or autotuning for music? Let’s take a look. Read more

Astral Audio Oct 31 Special (Right click, download, and experience.)
To end the week (and the month for that matter), Astral Audio Productions is proud to give you a dark electronica album by Mark Mosher. Reboot is rather short compared to the earlier albums we featured this week; however, I find it a fitting way to end your evening. Play it with the four parts of the Justnotnormal album. Yes, there are a few promos this time around but . . . they fit the mood I think. Read more
