Podcast Review: ‘Thrilling Adventure Hour’ is as Awesome as it Sounds

[kylaraingress]

Thrilling Adventure Hour, written by Ben Acker and Ben Blacker; directed by Aaron Ginsburg. Released monthly, with an approximate running time of 30 minutes. Started November 2010. 

It all started because I’m a fan of Nathan Fillion.

I’m admittedly a fangirl geek, although it’s only recently that I’ve taken hesitant steps into the world of fandom, no thanks to being trolled a few times about a decade ago. I loved Firefly, the sci-fi western one-season wonder from Joss Whedon. Over at Whedonesque, a blog dedicated to not only news of Whedon but to cast and crew of the various Whedon blogs, there was a notice about Fillion guest starring on a podcast called Thrilling Adventure Hour (TAH).

As their own description states, TAH is written in the style of old time radio, and I was immediately sold on the concept. I’ve always been a fan of radio drama, ever since my brother got a cassette tape containing the episode of Abbott and Costello that had the “Who’s on First?” routine. This love transferred easily when I was first introduced to podcasts back in the mid-2000s, as I found productions such as the Atlanta Radio Theatre Company, The Radio Adventures of Doctor Floyd, and most recently Welcome to Night Vale.
