The Craol Achievement Awards 2015 were presented, Friday 5th June, at the Royal Marine Hotel, Dun Laoghaire. The live radio drama “A Woman, A Dog and a Walnut Tree” that I produced last October won an award in the Special Programming (non-commissioned) category.
“A Woman, A Dog and a Walnut Tree” deals with the topic of domestic abuse and was presented along with a panel discussion about the realities of domestic abuse.
You can hear the entire play and panel discussion online here:
I just cut together the promo for the new series of ‘Rivitin’ History’ by Pat Meehan. Starting Friday 15th May at 18.00 we’ll be playing the original 2 episodes over the next two Fridays followed by 2 new episodes on the subsequent Fridays.
In Rivitin’ History you’ll meet ‘Marrion Monroe’ and ‘Duck the Bullets’ as they are taken in by Professor Henri DuFornicate’s ability to travel back through time to ancient Ireland.
This series is made with the support of the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland Sound and Vision scheme.
I recently got things set up at home so that I can capture footage off some of my older consoles like the Famicom here. So I did a little ‘Let’s Play’ video of Treasure Island Dizzy, a game I mostly remember from playing on the C64 and the Amiga as a kid. The NES version seems a lot closer to the Amiga version. Both being considerably easier than the C64 version.
Last Sunday we booked a big block of studio time and I recorded the latest Near Drama Company production ‘Rivitin’ History’
Now I’ve got to start on post production and get all the sound effects added in. We should be ready for broadcast in March.
This is a follow up to two previous episodes that were produced about 2 years ago.
It’s a Irish time travel comedy written by Pat Meehan who was one of the writers behind The Shamrogues series of childrens books back in the 80s.
We recorded a new podcast last week for arcadeandretro.com where we took a look back at the awkward history of sex in classic videogames.
