Read a brief post today about Erik Bauersfeld’s vocal roles in Return of the Jedi which ended up leading me to the archive project for the Bay Area Radio Drama.
Erik Bauersfeld writes about his time on the BARD series, Black Mass, which was produced from 1963 to 1970:
Originally, the series was designed for a broadcast starting at eleven thirty PM and ending around midnight. It was to be a collection of horror tales, selected by Whiting and the department director. Their suggestions led me on to material of similar caliber, stories I believed to be worth bringing to listeners. Eventually I did most of the selecting and all of the adapting, much of the acting. The talents already at KPFA and in other Bay Area theatre work were always interested in radio drama, even on a voluntary basis. Soon I would discover the fine art of funding from national and other sources with provisions for our talents, but the Black Mass remained a non-profit entertainment.
