Radio is Dead is a space to foster and showcase collective creative/experimental radio production by amateur and veteran CKUT volunteers. CKUT is a proud contributing partner of Radia.fm, so most weeks, we broadcast episodes by other Radia partners. However, if YOU want to produce experimental radio art, get in touch with us at spokenword@ckut.ca with your ideas. We've helped create field recordings, soundscapes, ambient compositions, radio collages, serialized science fiction radio plays, and much more.

Every Monday 2 - 3pm (EDT)

January 23, 2023: Sojourns in Slumberland, Episode 1: Lights in the Sky, Part 1

CKUT presents a radio drama like no other. Every season features brain-tickling, genre-bending storytelling by Fred Azeredo, performed by an array of voice actors.

SEASON 2: Aurora, Texas, 1934. Young Lotte Lerman lives a shadow-life, halfway between reality and dream. But this spell is soon broken by a horrifying tragedy that seems to have its roots in another world. Cut adrift from the waking world entirely, Lotte finds herself on a journey through a nightmare of Depression-era America, searching for the one thing she can't bear to live without. On the way she'll run into flying saucers, rail-riding killers, cartomancers with secrets to keep, and who knows what else? Only one thing is certain— nothing will ever be the same. This is SOJOURNS IN SLUMBERLAND, written and directed by Fred Azeredo, starring Dana Prather, Alice Wu, Zoe Heffring, Carmen Mancuso, and Fred Azeredo.

EPISODE 1:Another day at the Lerman farm. Lotte and Duane visit Starkey Manor. An untimely visit. A flight to another world. Featuring Edward Scromeda and Gabrielle Germain.
