We’re hitting the road again this summer — the 26-city Radio Romance Tour kicks off on July 8th!
We’ll have Aoife O’Donovan and Sara Watkins along to sing a few duets, plus, improv with sound effects man Mr. Fred Newman, and music from The Guy’s All-Star Shoe Band.
GK, the Royal Academy of Radio Actors, and Rich Dworsky run through a few scripts as we prepare for the last broadcast before our brief spring break
Just got this excellent “thank you” postcard from Fred Newman
“Vampires” — October 29, 2011
Happy Halloween! During last year’s broadcast from Colorado Springs, Tim Russell and Fred Newman played vampires unaffected by garlic and stakes but repelled by a chilling ancient incantation. What’s their hidden weakness? Find out above.
Celebrate the Fourth of July with a fireworks display by the Famous Newmans. Ask for the “Exploding Lunatic Rocket,” the “Venus Flytrap,” or the “Delayed Rocket.”
It’s mighty sunny here in Eugene! The sound effects gear waits for Mr. Fred Newman and tomorrow’s early-afternoon broadcast from the Cuthbert Ampitheater.
We can officially confirm that this made Fred’s day.
Last weekend’s jam-packed visit to The Town Hall — with Renée Fleming, Punch Brothers, Aoife O’Donovan, and Heather Masse — resulted in some particularly fantastic photos. Heather and Aoife were just added to Saturday’s show from Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium so tune in for more unearthly vocals, Emmylou Harris and the Red Dirt Boys, Sam Bush, and Stuart Duncan, yowza!
The postcards for the Summer Love Tour were a hit, so we created one to commemorate our New Year’s Eve broadcasts from Hawaii! Visit the APHC Facebook page to download the full-size photo.
On today’s edition of The Story, Fred Newman remembers fellow sound effects man Tom Keith — including his first encounter with Tom’s sound effects table and why he considers Tom’s work “sound effects haikus.” Listen online at their website.
