No Chocolate for Megan

2005-10-16T12:00:00.000-04:00

A dark figure, cloaked. A long scythe held by a bony hand. It is coming for you...

Who? Death of course. The figure of death has become a pop culture icon of sorts. Thanks mostly to a good agent and a proactive advertising campaign. I mean really, who can forget the plagues? He's even got his own Tarot card. He's done guest spots on every conceivable type of show and has even had one written about him and his underlings (See Showtime's Dead Like Me)

But do you know about his friends & colleagues?

Big T Studios is proud to announce a new Radio Drama "No Chocolate for Megan"! Follow the adventures of Death, his best friend Life and their token mortal Megan as they search for deeper meaning and good food. Not to mention the other interesting characters you'll meet along the way: Change, Time, Sex, Fate, Muse, Reason, Religion and many more! Even the elusive Jim. be sure to check it out on Afternoon T the official podcast of Big T Studios.

Live Auditions for No Chocolate for Megan will be held today @ 5pm at WCDE on the Campus of Davis & Elkins College. If you can't make it make sure you contact us to schedule an audition, but remember you must be free on Sunday's from 5-7pm to read live on the air.

2005-10-09T12:40:00.000-04:00

Sorry, guys. There will be no Afternoon T today (Sunday, 9 October 2005).

Join us next Sunday (16 October) for live auditions and other much fun goodness.

Static Solved

2005-10-03T18:05:00.000-04:00

I think I figured out the problem with the static during the 2 October episode of Afternoon T. It was due to a short in the wire that went between the computer and the board, and, whenever that channel was turned on, static would make its way through. Unfortunately, it is impossible for me to remove the static from the recording, but we will be able to avoid it in the future. Thanks for bearing with our technical difficulties, and thanks for listening.

Afternoon T - October 2, 2005

2005-10-03T06:11:00.000-04:00

Recorded live at WCDE Elkins. Bad cyclic static at the beginning of the episode, but it drops off. I don't know what it is. I'll have to experiment to be sure it doesn't happen again. But it's only there for the first few minutes. Captain Christopher Moody and Emperor Joshua Abraham Norton chat about the Big T, podcasting, AfternoonT.com, fun things you can find on Google, and the upcoming Big T radio dramas. Check back at the Big T Blog for more information about the radio dramas. Open casting and live auditions will be held for those radio dramas at WCDE studios the following 2 weeks.
