To Find Help

To Find Help was first broadcast almost 80 years ago, and yet it can stand competition with any radio drama of today. Sure it has a stellar cast – albeit an unusual one. We usually associate ‘Ol Blue Eyes’ with singing, and even dancing on occasion. In this recording, which was first broadcast on CBS Suspense Radio Drama, January 18th 1945, he plays a pleasant, almost charismatic character – but hey, he’s just a little creepy.

The blackout

The Bard’s Night Out

The Bard’s Night Out

It’s a dark and stormy night. Anything can happen. And it did!

While this delightful play by Patti Cassidy profiles a fastfiction regular, by way of David Pollard, we are delighted to add two new players to our troupe. Hem Cleveland lives in Iceland, while Geordie Macdonald* may be found in the Tropics of Queensland. Yet both come together to spar banter in The Bard’s Night Out.

And who is The Bard? Well, it’s Will himself, although you will never think of him in quite the same way again once you hear Geordie’s performance.

Duration: 19m.

Written by: Patti Cassidy

Performers: David Pollard, Hem Cleveland, Breanda Cross, John Cross, Geordie Macdonald

Produced: Breanda Cross

1101 Wellington Way

1101 Wellington Way.

The neighbors are getting in twitchy in 1101 Wellington Way. They don’t like each other. Why not? Well, there appear to be some different points of view.

FastFiction is delighted to introduce you to some talented members of The Writers Block Radio Hour as they explore Vivian Lermond’s intriguing audio drama. You can find out more about her on our Accreditation and Performers Page, but suffice to say she is an award-winning scriptwriter – and you can see why when you tune in to 1101 Wellington Way.

However. it helps enormously when you have a talented cast and Glen Dizon, Karen Frazer and Titch Macleay certainly fit that bill.

Written by: Vivian Lermond

Performed by: Karen Fraser as Bea, Glen Dickson as Troy and Tich McLean as TV Announcer

Produced by: The Writers Block Radio Hour and aired on Super Sound Radio, Glasgow.

Duration: 13m.

2020 Compilation

2020 Compilation is simply a few excerpts from previous shows this year.

There are few who would disagree that it has been a difficult year – yet it has not been all bad. FastFiction has found some new friends, both here in Australia, and overseas. They represent new voices, with hidden talents. And the good news is that they will be around next year as well. We thank them, and all our regular voice actors who volunteer their time so graciously. And we thank you, our listeners. Some of you live in places I’ve visited, and others in places I’ve never heard of until I check our analytics.

And we especially thank Whooshkaa, our platform host, who allows us to broadcast so efficiently and effectively.  Here’s to 2021!
