Classic Sonic Society

Classic Sonic Society

Running over two decades, the Sonic Society (www.sonicsociety.org) has been the world's largest weekly showcase of modern audio drama. From Jack Ward, Andrew Dorfman, Shannon Hilchie, and David Ault this series has been a touchstone for the Modern Audio Dramatic/Audio Fiction movement. Join us from the Early days when audio drama was scarce to today when no single showcase could encapsulate everything that's going on in the AD world!
