We’re polishing off our scripts, rounding out our cast, and will hit the recording booth soon to bring you more adventures with Captain Radio, Andromeda, Ace, and Orion in the distant future.

Second, our show has been nominated for the Audio Verse Awards, which honor the best audio dramas of the past year. Voting for the finalists is now open and we could really use your help. You can vote for “The Adventures of Captain Radio” and help us make it to the next round by going to audioverseawards.net/vote.

The ballot isn’t very mobile-friendly, so you may want to use a desktop or laptop to submit your vote (or you can switch to the desktop view on a mobile device by clicking the “Aa” symbol near the top of the page). On the New Productions category, simply find our show art in the lefthand column and drag it to the right column to rank us as one of your choices. The more shows you rank, the more weight your vote will carry. Voting closes October 30, 2022.

We’re a small, independent production and we couldn’t do it without your support. Thank you for your vote and until next time, keep your eyes on the stars…
