Well, there was a huge response to our last installment of Decoder Ring Theatre Deep Cuts - our special releases of exclusive outakes, rarities and other weirdness - so let's keep it rolling. As always with Deep Cuts, this is an exclusive for our Fan Boards over at AudioDramaTalk.com... so stop on by and pick up the new B-Side while it's fresh, and say hi while you're there! You can find it at This Link! NOTE: There is some strong language in some of these outakes. And a lot of giggling.

 We'll be back nect Saturday with our thrill-packed Season Finale of The Red Panda Adventures: The Field Trip! Don't you dare miss it! - GT

 

A sudden rash of petty crime is spreading like wildfire, bleeding the city white a few dollars at a time. Is it really possible that these robberies are being carried out by an army of children? What elemental force could possibly have driven these innocents into a life of crime? And will even The Red Panda be able to oppose the might... of The Rat Lord? Length: 29min, Size: 10.1mb

Well, we had a lot of fun the other week with our first release of Decoder Ring Theatre Deep Cuts... so let's do it again! Deep Cuts is our name for our vast collection of out-takes, B-Sides, rarities and assorted bric-a-brac for fans of our shows, and it's only available for direct download from the Fan Boards at AudioDramaTalk.com! Our last release was very much of the "out-take" variety, so here from the other side of the coin is the rarest rare track we've got... a very rough recording of a live show we did almost 10 years ago as a fundraiser of the studio recordings of the original "goofy" Red Panda mini-series. It's DRT Deep Cuts #2 - Dynamite Dame LIVE, and you can only get it via THIS LINK!

In other news, I've been negligent in not mentioning that the fantastic portrait of our masked heroes done for us by Chuck Lukacs is available for sale as a print from his online shop... I've got one of these, and they look fantastic! Get yours today at: http://www.earthenwoodstudio.com/html/print_gallery.html

 

The day they carried Sam Merk out of the courtroom, he swore he'd never serve the life sentence he'd been given. He promised that the judge, the jury... everyone that had had put him behind bars would suffer a voodoo curse until he was freed. Of course, no one took him very seriously; until his victims started dropping like flies. Now The Red Panda may have only hours to crack the mystery... of The Empty Box! (Length: 33min, Size: 11mb)

Hey kids! Two bits of news this week. For reasons too boring to type here, we lost our entire email address history this week. With the help of Panda Patrol member Tim White, we were able to recover addresses for Donors, but as for everything else... Well, suffice to say if we used to have your contact info, we don't any more. And even if we didn't, we'd like to! We're hoping to have a special announcement coming up soon(ish) - so help us out by dropping us a line at info @ decoderringtheatre.com (and take out the spaces), and let us put you back in our little black book!

Secondly, here's a fun new feature I'm running over at our fanboards at audiodramatalk.com - DRT Deep Cuts! From time to time I'll be posting outtakes and other strange stuff in THIS THREAD - including today's post, taken from a rcording session this very morning for RPA #48.

These are posted at You Send It, so the link is good for 1 week or 100 downloads only! It's the ultimate B Side/rarity/easter egg thingie! So check back often at audiodramatalk.com and collect & trade 'em all!

(warning: these are not always going to be completely clean.)

 

A string of industrial accidents is plaguing the city, each more serious than the last. Little by little fear spreads, public confidence erodes and the economic engines of the city grind to a halt. Is this simple coincidence? A conspiricy of terror? Or are there forces still more sinister at work? The Red Panda must find out, or fall before the power of... Barton's Charm! Length: 31 minutes, Size 10.7mb

p.s. Yes, that is a picture of Volume 1 to your left. It looks exactly the same and I'm just too lazy...

With that Pompous Pirate of the Pen known only as The Poet on the loose, it was only a matter of time before clues in couplet form started sprouting up all over the city, each promising new crime more fiendish than the last. But Baxter's Law says "When the Goony-birds start changing their tune, there's usually something else goin' on." Will The Red Panda find the key to the villainous verse in time? Or will the city and it's masked protectors fall before... The Terrible Two? Length: 30min Size: 10.5mb

Well, the return of the masked protectors of 1930's Toronto caused quite a stir this week, and I've been asked by several folks for an update on the progress of the Tales of The Red Panda pulp adventure novels promised way back when chapter one of The Crime Cabal appeared in Astonishing Adventures! issue #1. I can report that the book is done and the long, dull search for a publisher is underway... and promise you that when you can at long last pick up a copy for your very own, you'll be the first to hear about it!

 And meetcha back here next Saturday for an episode you'll have to hear to believe - The Terrible Two! -GT

Return with us now to the thrill-packed exploits of the masked protectors of 1930's Toronto as they hunt down one of their oldest and most diabolical foes! But with mechanical walking bombs appearing all over the city, it looks like the world's greatest criminal mastermind just became the least of their problems - to say nothing of the unkown threat of the mysterious... Red Squirrel! Length: 33:30 Size 11.5 mb

They say that music hath charms to soothe the savage breast. But like just about everything "they" say, truth is in the eye of the beholder. When Jack and Trixie spend a little time in the company of musicians, the experience is neither particularly charming or remotely soothing. But at least thirty-five dollars a day hath charms to soothe the savage landlord. Length: 28min Size: 9.8mb

Everywhere you looked, there were goods to be gotten, and the getting often fell to Black Jack and Trixie. But there were consequences to be paid that often had nothing to do with the princely sum of thirty-five dollars a day, plus expenses. When it looks like their client may have stormed off half-cocked to do who-knows-what, it's up to our his-and-her shamuses... (shamuses?... Shami?... Whatever...) to reach deep for the ever-elusive happy ending. Length: 29min Size: 9.5mb 

It sounded like a nice, simple job. Two sisters, estranged long ago over a man who was long gone. An apology... a reunion... the restoration of family ties in a cold and cynical world... Yes sir, it all sounded too good to be true. But Jack and Trixie know when it comes to family, nothing is ever quite that simple. Length: 31min Size: 11mb

It wouldn't be quite right to say that Trixie had a soft spot in her heart for old Button-Down Theo. But she had a soft spot in her head for him anyway. After all, anyone who can make private detecting seem dull as dishwater must have some hidden talents. But when Theo gets himself in hot water, will the Girl Detective be able to persuade ol' Square Jaw to intervene? And if so, just who exactly is footing the bill.  Length: 28 min, Size 9.5MB

"Law stands mute in the midst of arms" they say. Well, that proves one thing anyway; old man Cicero never met Police Lieutenant Victor Sabien. He'd never stood mute a day in his life. And with ol' Square Jaw and the Girl Detective working at cross purposes through his office... to say nothing of the dynamic duo of Sgt Nelson and Freddie the Finger Hawthorne underfoot... well, can you blame the poor guy?
