Adventure! Mystery! All-new Radio Drama thrills!

About Me

"...Tune your podcatcher to 'pure pulp' and break out the hockey organ because The Red Panda Adventures is ready to glide into justice… Full of flying kung fu fists, mesmerizing hypnosis, snappy dialog and mystery…. A super-fun diversion delivered in delicious half-hour doses. The only thing better than the production of this fab audio drama series is the vocal talent. I get endless kicks out of the sexual tension between the oblivious Red Panda and his pining sidekick/driver Kit Baxter." - Jesse Willis, SFF Audio
Sure we're a band! A merry band of Audio Dramatists on a mad quest for a new golden age of radio!
Once, Decoder Ring Theatre was a mortal theatre troupe; 'till they forsook the greasepaint and empty chairs and set their sights on the much, much bigger room of the internet... or so the legend goes...
Well, its all true! Now we use the brave new world of Podcasting to take you back, every second Saturday, to those thrilling days of yesteryear with an all-new, full-cast mystery, adventure or comedy.
Our current releases jump back and forth between two series, in sets of six half-hour episodes:
The Red Panda Adventures presents the 1930's Crimebusting Adventures of Canada's Greatest Superhero, the masked man of mystery known only as The Red Panda, and his trusty sidekick, that fearless femme fatale - The Flying Squirrel! Join them as they protect the citizens of Toronto from gangsters, racketeers and power-mad supervillains.
Black Jack Justice brings you hardboiled murder and mystery in the tradition of film noir and the pulp detectives with the tough-as-nails Jack Justice and his partner, the even tougher Trixie Dixon, girl detective.
...And some older shows and other fun things are there too...
All-new adventures await you for gloriously Free Download, every second Saturday - just visit us at www.decoderringtheatre.com (follow the "podcast" link), or subscribe with the feed http://decoderring.libsyn.com/rss (Or we're real easy to find in the iTunes Podcast section...)
