The Riot Act, Part 2: Episode 506

The second installment of Dodge Intrepid and the Pages of Time: The Riot Act is now podcasting!

Things get dangerous in this new episode, as Dodge and Pluck discover that Aliquippa has been walled in by U.S. Military. Now, it's up to our heroes to wade into madness in hopes of restoring order to their beloved town. Along the way they'll face treacherous gangs, meet new friends, and continue their frantic search for Dodge's grandfather.

The Wait is Over, The Riot Act Begins!

The mayor is missing. The Kryodex is in the hands of the enemy. The librarian has been arrested.

So begins the thrilling first episode of The Riot Act, the latest four-part adventure in the fifth season of Dodge Intrepid and the Pages of Time!

With Grandpa Edsel Intrepid missing, there's a power void in the City of Aliquippa mayor's office. Before Dodge and Pluck have time to even react, they're detained by Archibald McLeash, the dastardly Librarian of Congress. He's investigating the mysterious deaths of Chris Sebring and Bucky Tagalong (from Death Mountain Crusaders), and he'll stop at nothing to get a confession.

This first installment kicks off the latest adventure of Beaver County's favorite time traveling librarian. The Riot Act is filled with danger, surprises, and excitement. The cast is huge, with scores of colorful characters both new and old! It's a tale not to be missed.

Listen to the adventure below or update your podcast feed, and get ready to scoot to the edge of your seat!

Successful Riots

The cast of Dodge Intrepid and the Pages of Time would like to thank everyone who came out for our live performance at Cafe Kolache last Saturday! The show was a great success, and everyone certainly had a great time.

In case you missed the show, don't worry. The live recordings from that evening will be podcast in the coming months, right after we release our studio versions of The Riot Act! So check back at this blog, or subscribe to our podcast feed by RSS or the iTunes Music Store!

Thanks again to Cafe Kolache for having us!

The Riot Act TOMORROW

We're just a day away from our brand new adventure, The Riot Act. It's been almost five months since our last live performance, Death Mountain Crusaders, and we're very pleased with what we've come up with since.

The Riot Act picks up immediately after our previous adventure (but that doesn't mean you needed to hear said adventure, of course): Dodge and Pluck had just returned from a daring adventure to Africa, where they managed to secure a new mystical book called The Kryodex. Unfortunately, while in Africa, Ambridge librarian Chris Sebring and his intern Bucky were killed by natives and hippos (respectively). Now, Dodge is feeling the heat from Archibald McLeash, the Librarian of Congress who vows to punish Intrepid for Sebring's death. Making matters worse, Grandpa Edsel Intrepid and the Kryodex were kidnapped by Allister Farious.

So Dodge has a lot on his plate. With Grandfather missing, the City of Aliquippa suddenly becomes mayorless and plunges into anarchy. Grandpa could be anywhere in time. There's a power void. Archibald arrests Intrepid with the hopes of squeezing a confession out of him for the death of Sebring. Pluck is trying to put together a jigsaw puzzle with missing pieces. It's a mess.

Our latest adventure is brimming with excitement, thrills, and laughs. It's an urban adventure into a land of chaos and anarchy. It's gonna be good.

Dodge Intrepid and the Pages of Time: The Riot Act. Tomorrow, Saturday October 10th, at 7:00pm at Cafe Kolache.

And as usual, we'll be podcasting studio and live recordings of our new adventure in the coming weeks/months.

The Riot Act This Saturday!

Our latest live adventure is almost here! The show is written, the parts are cast, and the sound effects are ready. This Saturday, at 7pm, you can catch this one-night-only performance of four brand new episodes featuring Beaver County's favorite time-traveling librarian, Dodge Intrepid, and his faithful intern, Pluck Gumption!

If you recall the end of our last adventure, Death Mountain Crusaders, Grandpa Edsel Intrepid was kidnapped, along with the mysterious Kryodex, by Allister and Amsterdamd. Where, and what time period, they traveled to is still unknown. Now mayorless, the city of Alliquippa plunges into anarchy and it's up to Dodge, Pluck, and a group of vigilantes to restore order!

The Riot Act is easily the biggest show we've written, with a huge cast of colorful characters! You won't want to miss it.

Listen to the trailer for a sneak peak at what's to come:

Dodge Intrepid Reviewed on Beaver County Online!

Beaver County Online is a hot new blog chronicling, and reviewing, all the great things the county has to offer. This week, they've posted a fantastic review of Dodge Intrepid and the Pages of Time!

Local writer Jason Panella offers up a great critique of the show, while also calling on today's youth to explore the lost art of pulpy radio adventure:

While there’s a wide-eyed sense of wonder about the radio show, it’s written with tongue rooted in cheek. Mike and James (with addition voice guru Michael Hinzman) saturate their radio shows with deadpan and offbeat humor. And it works quite well. Their writing has grown significantly since they began; while the first few shows had a few laughs, the crew’s most recent shows have caused me to cry from laughing so hard. The interaction between the supporting cast is my favorite thing — Mike and James have created a world so intricate that minor characters like monomaniacal newspaper editor Ted Brubaker or Dodge’s pathetically inept grandfather Edsel Intrepid feel like real people.

You can read the entire article here.

And make sure you bookmark Beaver County Online, subscribe to their RSS feeds, or do whatever you can to follow the site. They really are doing a bang-up job over there highlighting and reviewing things in the county!

Live Conclusion to "Death Mountain"

The end of the Death Mountain Crusader podcasts has finally arrived. Episode 504, the fourth and final installment from that live May 2009 performance, is now available online.

This final episode features a very special ending: a brand new commercial written just for Cafe Kolache! While this is customary for our live shows, this performance is even more special because the cast is joined by stalwart Kolache co-owner, Hugh Harper! When he's not serving up delicious drinks and kolaches, Hugh is an actor himself; so he dealt with the ever-belligerent Ted Brubaker in hilarious fashion!

We hope you enjoyed this brand new series of studio & live recordings. The cast of Dodge Intrepid is hard at work on their next adventure, due out some time this Fall!

Live Episode 503

The recordings from our live performance of Death Mountain Crusaders last May at Cafe Kolache continue this week with Episode 503! So update your podcast feeds and enjoy.

Next week we'll be releasing the final live recording from our most recent performance, complete with a new Cafe Kolache commercial.
