Prometheus Radio Theatre

This started as Steven H. Wilson’s Theater troupe that performed audio plays at various conventions. He began doing original work called the Arbiter Chronicles. A demand for the work arose so he began podcasting the performances. Later he stated writing novels set in his world and that led to his own publishing house Firebringer Press. Now Prometheus Radio Theater includes work from other Authors from that publishing house. Arbiter Chronicles is a decent Space Opera and Heroic Park is about a world were all the Super Heroes have retired from heroics. Both are the current offerings from the site. They alternate every other week. It is great listening.

One of the early podcasts with fullcast audiodramas and audiobooks (about 50-50). The main focus arre the Arbitor Chronicles which is a great SciFi series. The few negative reviews are just looney. While I am not one for audiobooks, these are well done and enjoyed them. This series is a must for anyone who loves audiodrama and SciFi.

In Praise the Titanic, we learn that Sestus is a rapist and was protected by his connections and rape apologists like Darby. So far, so accurate. The victim won't press charges because she's stupid and opportunistic. Okay.. depicting victim blaming isn't endorsement of the same so I'll allow it. Sestus learns something about power and mercy and how that relates to him raping someone is unclear but that's where the story ends. I keep hoping the mostly morally good cast and reasonable authority figure will be interested in bringing Sestus and Darby to justice but no, the two wastes of skin stick around to be moustache twirling villains. Then Carson falls in love with Sestus and pleads for the good in him to be seen. What the hell? It's like the author didn't recognize how serious of a crime rape is, how it can't be justified, and only used it to create a morally ambiguous character that we're occasionally supposed to sympathize with, thereby trivializing a heinous act. I can't abide by this lack of awareness and empathy towards the victim so I'm out.

You guys are awesome! I wish i lived near enough to see the live shows! I just spent over a week going through all the podcasts! Now near the beginning it kept me going and i was amazed that listening to such a cast would keep me going. I am sorry to say that near the end i gave up. The final to season two was well disappointing. I can only say the reason for that was it was so short, compared to all that was going on!! I wanted to know so much more, but being new to radio theatre i never gave it a thought of how much more time you guys put into these shows then what we hear! So for what i am able to listen to, i hope you come out with more, even the Super human times! Love the witches! Only bad note that i can interject is the reading stories. Sorry but i love hearing all the cast, and Steve well i'd rather hear the women =) Keep it up and i hope to hear more from you and one day see you all doing the show live!
