Superman 1940s Style The Mystery of the Dragon’s Teeth Part 3

The award winning radio soap Huntsford is coming to The Sound of Sunday.

The drama, which is made and produced by Huntingdon Community Radio, is being made available to hospital radio stations, and The Sound of Sunday will start broadcasting it on 30 May.

The award winning soap drama is set in a small market town called Huntsford in the middle of the English countryside. Huntsford lives in a fictitious, parallel universe version of our world. Whilst it picks up on current themes and issues, it also provides an escape from the here and now. For this reason it is a Covid-free zone.

The drama is built by a team of over 30 volunteers from all walks of life, ranging in age from 20 to 70+. The Huntsford team comprises two recording engineers, a producer/director, four scriptwriters and 25 actors. The team is now on Season Five, so is experienced in producing material to the exacting schedule required by a radio soap.  The Sound of Sunday will start from episode 1.

Enthusiasm and commitment are useful weapons in the armoury. Normally the episodes are recorded in the studio, but throughout the pandemic Huntsford has been recorded remotely via Zoom. As ever, the more experienced actors motivate, coach, and encourage the newcomers.

This picture gives an overview of the locations and characters in Huntsford. Scroll down to find out more about each character.

Will Sam and Mario’s spring wedding go according to plan? Is Fiona really pregnant and, if so, who’s the father? Will Huntsford’s very own rock band – Mabel and The Edge – ever make the big time? Will Bob ever commit to Judy? And what do you make of Alastair? There’s plenty of material to sustain the Huntsford community for many years to come.

The Huntsford cast is made up of dozens of volunteers who live and breathe drama, and more specifically – love audio!  Huntsford can be heard every week on the show on HRB and on The Sound of Sunday Extra Time podcast and kicks off with 2 introduction episodes on 30 May.

This week’s Extra Time is now available.

Superman 1940s Style: The Mystery of the Dragon’s Teeth Part 2

Extra Time is back – but this time it’s gone online.

The new show will be available at 4pm each week with extra features from the show plus an episode of Superman 1940s Style.

It’s the perfect addition to the weekly show and will also allow for some additional memories from the archive too.

The show will be available from the show’s website at http://www.soundofsunday.co.uk/extra-time from 4pm each week starting 16 May.

On 22 February 2009, The Sound of Sunday started playing the original 1940s episodes of The Adventures of Superman.  The first episode, The Baby From Krypton, was originally broadcast in America on February 12 1940.

There have been breaks in that time, but this Sunday, 12 years later, the last episode that will be used on the show will be broadcast.

The reason that it won’t be heard anymore is that as they have got newer, the audio quality of the episodes has gone down.  It’s also always good to try new things and we have two new features lined up to start in a couple of weeks time.

However it’s not the end for the world’s most well known superhero.  The series will end with a double bill – episodes 1245 and 1246 but there are still several hundred more to go and you can go on listening to them via our website.

We’ll be making an episode available via our website each week so you can go on following and enjoying Superman 1940s Style.

Listen this Sunday for details of when the next episodes will be available.
