On episode 22 of the TSVP Radio Theater Podcast, we present a special preview performance of The Genesis Collective’s inaugural community theatre project: Our Stories: A Play for Beaver County Voices.

Performed in the radio theatre-style before a live audience at the sold-out Beaver Train Station in Beaver, Pennsylvania, this show represents the dramatic arts feature of The Genesis Collective’s 2022 Art Madness Celebration in Beaver County.

WARNING – NERD TALK

As a radio theater producer, we're interested in the trend showing that upwards of 70% of our podcast downloads are on mobile platforms, as opposed to traditional desktop browsers.

We've been watching this number increase steadily over the years, and it tells us that increasingly our audiences are listening via their smartphones--at the gym, walking the dog, while waiting in the doctor's office, driving in the car, etc.

For those of us doing the technical production (e.g., sound design, editing, mixing, mastering), this presents a real issue to contend with, as end-use listening devices and environments have a lot to do with how people receive and perceive the audio we produce--especially if they are not using good quality headphones or earbuds.

For example, the speakers on mobile devices are designed for mid-range intelligibility. Low end bass energy is cut, so if we have musical scoring or SFX in this frequency range it will be harder to detect on those little speakers.

And if someone is using headphones or earbuds of low quality, then the sonic experience will suffer as well as fidelity is lost.

As for listening in automobiles (most likely via phone apps), this could be a pretty good experience as many car sound systems are high quality, but the noise floor (road noise) tends to be high in many automobiles. This makes high dynamic range audio more difficult to hear, as quieter sound such as softly spoken dialogue is harder to discern.

So what to do? How should we adapt?

We've talked to a lot of podcasters who have different thoughts on the matter, from doing nothing differently when engineering audio productions to customizing sound designs to best fit this particular mobile-friendly end-use listening environment.

Our thought is to continue to producing the best sounding audio productions on high quality systems for high quality environments, but also to make necessary sonic adjustments for our audience listening on their mobile devices. The irony is, no one will notice if we're successful.

TSVP Radio Theater Podcast

TSVP’s Radio Theater Podcast presents classic, contemporary, and original imaginative audio productions, including recorded, staged, and live streamed performances before live audiences. In addition to showcasing performances, the podcast is dedicated to promoting and celebrating the craft of local theater.

In 2018, The Social Voice Project partnered with the Merrick Art Gallery and the Rochester Area Heritage Society to bring three radio-styled audio performances to Beaver County.

Not since the “golden age” of radio–which was killed off long ago by television–have we experienced such an interest in audio storytelling and radio-style dramas, comedies, and other performances created exclusively for that most impressive venue of them all, the “theater of the mind.” And it’s all because of podcasting, which is breathing new life into radio theater.
