The Amazing Adventures of Captain Farr Novarider and the Wild Horses - Episode 15 - The Days Long Past

In which one of our heroes realizes he's kind of old.

The Amazing Adventures of Captain Farr Novarider and the Wild Horses - Episode 12 - The Dry Spell

In which our heroes get... kinda... bored.  Maybe... I dunno... something will happen?

The Amazing Adventures of Captain Farr Novarider and the Wild Horses - Episode 10 - The Return of Aislyn Aphelion

In which and old enemy returns. Will our heroes manage to hawk the ancient alien artifact they legally procured from Baron Helion? Will they manage to outrun the enigmatic villainess? Will Reagan give two craps? No, Not really, and not a chance.


Thank you all for listening to the very first season of The Amazing Adventures of Captain Farr Novarider and the Wild Horses.  Especially those of you managed to stick around for the long run.  You are few, but I know you're out there and I greatly appreciate your willingness to give me a shot.

The Amazing Adventures of Captain Farr Novarider and the Wild Horses - Episode 09 - Platypus, the Bounty Hunter

In which our hero... gets drunk and falls asleep, apparently.  Awesome.  Well, our side kicks... are abducted by a third rate bounty hunter.  Is anyone really trying at this point?


Okay, this time, I promise: no more platypus jokes.  Seriously, I'm done.  It's okay to go back into the water.

The Amazing Adventures of Captain Farr Novarider and the Wild Horses - Episode 08 - The Battle for Turgel

Tonight's episode is: the Battle for Turgel.  In which our heroes must rush to the aid of a small resistance group fighting against a tyrannical Baron.  Because he's a jerk and that's what heroes do.




While I am a nerd and certainly entertain the idea of jet packs, the practical and logical side tends to give the nerd in me a swift wedgie.  I really enjoyed writing this ad.  It definitely played into the 1940's to 50's feel that I originally wanted to play up (but later got overwritten to better flesh out the universe of Captain Novarider).

The Amazing Adventures of Captain Farr Novarider and the Wild Horses - Episode 07 - the Revenge of Galabrax

In which our heroes must face the return of an old enemy.  Novarider is denied some of his most valued crew members... and Reagan.



I think I'm done with the Christ on a Cracker joke as of writing this post.  It'll show up a couple more times, but it's definitely not going to be a running gag.  I think the intention was to turn it into a returning joke, but I had so many other better ones, now it's just a bit of product placement more than anything.

I knew that Galabrax was going to have to return when I first created the character.  He was fun to write and fun to act (although he's killer on the throat).  He's almost a character who writes himself, which is convenient for me.  I'm just sad that he's not in this season all that much - although he has a much bigger presence in the second season (coming soon).

In listening to this episode again, one of the problems that I'm shaking my head at (other than the otherwise visual humor), is that Captain Jake sounds too similar to Galabrax over the hailing frequency.  I suppose that's just a problem that I have to deal with since I'm certainly no professional voice actor, and I don't have the money to pay one.

In non-the Amazing Adventures of Captain Farr Novarider and the Wild Horses news, not to long ago, I finished fleshing out a new side series idea.  I still have to put in a little bit more thought on presentation as well as finalizing the scripting, but it could prove to be an interesting diversion to work on The Amazing Adventures.  I don't think that it will turn into a main stay for the blog, so much as just be something that I try to put out once a month to keep things from being kind of stale.

I do have plans for a different type of series for "the off-season" of the Amazing Adventures, but right now I still have a lot of work to do on the second season.  I'm probably going to sit down a flesh out a concept as well as (hopefully) a rough of the first episode.  I have some vacation time coming soon, so that might be the time that I put some work into it.

The Amazing Adventures of Captain Farr Novarider and the Wild Horses - Episode 06 - The Hellion Wing

Tonight's episode is the Hellion Wing, in which our heroes discover a lost Confederacy warship.  One must return to his past, and one will die.  No, seriously.  Someone is going to die this episode (my bet is on Reagan).




Everyone give a "Woot" for episode six!  Ev...  woot.  Fine, whatever.  At least it's on time this week.

The Audio Drama Directory

I am a dick.

For those of you who don't know, there's a database out there called The Audio Drama Directory, basically filling the harrowing job of building a listing of various audio dramas for the world to consume.  It's awesome.  If you haven't checked it out, you should.  Seriously, there are a lot of great shows listed here, and the guy (his name is Jeremy) is basically doing this for free - as far as I can tell.

The Amazing Adventures of Captain Farr Novarider and the Wild Horses - Episode 05 - The Royal Pirate Hunters

Tonight's episode is The Royal Pirate Hunters.  In which our heroes must face their deadliest enemy, yet: a pair of bored Confederated counts.  Can they escape the sleepy Count Urban Cometdust? Probably.  But watch anyway!




The last few weeks have apparently been a bunch of firsts for me.  From hitting 1000 site views and still going strong at 1652 at time of writing this, having a single episode make over 100 total views (apparently less than 10% of hits actually watch one of my episodes - awesome), and today for the first time, I forget to post the new episode.  GOING STRONG, BABY! WOO!

The Amazing Adventures of Captain Farr Novarider and the Wild Horses - Episode 04 - The Artifact From Beyond

Tonight's episode is: The Artifact From Beyond.  In which our heroes heroically hawk a priceless alien artifact they stole.  Thrilling.  And a new menace emerges from the shadows to... menace the crew of the Cabalina.




Okay, full disclosure.  I like voicing a girl.  While I'm sharing, I would take it hard from the exit only if it was coming from either Edward James Olmos or Tim Curry.  If this were high school, this is where someone would snicker at me and  mockingly say, "gay."  Thankfully, I'm secure enough in my manhood to not let that get under my skin.  So, y'know... I am rubber, you are glue.  Everything you say bounces off of me and sticks to you.  Neener, neener.

The Amazing Adventures of Captain Farr Novarider and the Wild Horses - Episode 03 - The Marauding Horses

Tonight's episode is The Marauding Horses!  In which our heroes must seize a cargo of unfathomable treasure in the face of an elite corps of Royal Confederated soldiers.  One of our heroes will die... probably.  Okay, not really, but your watching now, so the hook works.




This was one of the first episodes that I realized that I would need to do a major rewrite.  While some of the current relationships were there, the jokes just weren't clicking. Originally, Cartwright was very ambiguously
