About this listen
Jack Flanders and his crew sail to a mysterious island known as Key Diablo. When a fog moves in, all color seems to vanish, and everything turns into black and white. The islanders, dressed in clothes from the 1940s and '50s, appear to have stepped out of an old Hollywood film noir. And soon our heroes, Jack, Claudine, Mojo, Dominique, and Rose, find themselves playing characters that are dressed to kill.
A full cast production.

Story
Somewhere in the tropics, yet another beach resort is being built. As they bulldoze a road through a valley the locals consider sacred (the dwelling of a Nature Spirit), the jungle begins to spring up everywhere else. At Maria's Cafe', chairs are sprouting leaves, vines are creeping over the counter, and orchids are growing from the walls. Meanwhile, Jack, Mojo and Claudine are attempting to prove the Nature Spirit not only exists, she may have just begun to "even the score".

Story
Mojo receives a call from "The Whistle Stop Hobby Shop". He's told his pocket watch has arrived. It's a gift from someone named "Rufus". But the pocket watch has no hands or numbers, just an opaque face that reminds Mojo of a zombie's eye. Mojo is mistaken for the detective, Rufus. He's hired to find Angelina, the missing sister of Philadelphia gangster Tony Rizzo. By using his watch as a portal, Mojo is able to look beyond the veils of this world, and he traces Angelina to a mysterious train.

Over fourteen days, the couples bond—but their pasts are too deeply intertwined to stay hidden. The sly concierge, Putu, knows more than he lets on.

Annie could tell the old woman to get lost. Yet there’s something about her Annie just can’t shake. And what she learns could change her life forever–but is it the life she envisioned?

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

Story
Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

In December 1926, Agatha Christie goes missing. Investigators find her empty car on the edge of a deep, gloomy pond, the only clues some tire tracks nearby and a fur coat left in the car - strange for a frigid night. Her World War I veteran husband and her daughter have no knowledge of her whereabouts, and England unleashes an unprecedented manhunt to find the up-and-coming mystery author. Eleven days later, she reappears, just as mysteriously as she disappeared, claiming amnesia and providing no explanations for her time away.

Fun audioplay based on a song's lyrics.
Gave it a "3" for "story" only because there's not that much story: The best part is a lot of punnery and witty word-play cleverly executed - like the repartee in an old-time screwball comedy (think Chico Marx), or in an epic improv exercise. However weird it gets, everything just flows... Claudine and Dominique arguing in a mash-up of movie French girl and movie tough broad is hilarious. The music and sound environments are both very very good and add a lot to the fun.

Great sounds
I love the stories from ZBS! It is a treat for my ears and my imagination. I drive miles and miles down the highway and before you know it the miles for the day are gone.
I love the sound effects. I can appreciate all the work that went into getting those, (“Meatball’s Meatballs” podcast ). Sometimes the sound effects overpower the dialogue and I have a difficult time understanding and have to rewind to get it all. Best listening is with good set of earbuds or stereo headphones!
Lots of philosophical lines and lessons from various philosophies. They are educational and insightful...I am firm in my own beliefs and enjoy listening to them.
Always take away something positive, energizing and absolutely entertaining!
Love the variety of all that ZBS crew worked together with Meatball Fulton to create! They have been and are a fabulous team. My vocabulary is limited so I’m not very creative with the accolades.
I am happy I ran across them on XM Sonic Theatre years ago.
I wish I had all the Saratoga Springs airings.
The actors and actresses are tremendous what more can I say!
