The Secret of the Crystal Maidens, Part 1
We're looking at a brand new Jack Flanders story here, assuming it arrives in time - it's that new!
While exploring a cave in Belize, Jack Flanders hears a voice calling his name. Deep within, he discovers a woman who appears to have risen up out of the cave floor. Her entire body is covered in tiny calcite crystals. Jack wonders, "Is she a Mayan goddess of the Underworld?" But then he wakes up.

And within, he discovers something even more extraordinary, the skulls of two crystal maidens.

Richmond Smokes a Joint
The Radio Repertory Company of America presents a spinoff from the Anne Manx series with that felonious firebrand, Jean Richmond (Patricia Tallman, "Babylon 5", "Night of the Living Dead 1990") taking the spotlight in her own cosmically wild adventure!
L. Sid Knee (Kris Holden-Ried, "The Tudors", "Lost Girl") has a secret. He knows the location of the mythical Sacred Plate of Marange. When he approaches Richmond's ne'er-do-well boyfriend Herm (Jerry Robbins, "Powder River", "Beacon Hill") about obtaining the plate, the treacherous trio take-off on an intergalactic free-for-all to the caverns of Marange... where not even Richmond's considerable wiles and cunning might be enough to make her come out alive and on top.
If you like your action with a hint of humor and a soupçon of sex, then "Richmond Smokes a Joint" will make you stand up and cheer. Filled with colorful crewmen, mysterious murders, dangerous double-crosses, and mommy talk.

The Little City In Space
This show was a mainstay on KFAI from very early in its existence in 1978. Highly inventive and well-produced, it lasted many years. In 1999 Stu Mathews, Peter Stenshoel and Jerry Modjeski used a grant to produce a 13-week syndicated series for public radio. Sound Affects is proud to bring you that entire series over the next year. On the Last Sunday of each month we'll bring you one of those marvelous Little City In Space shows, starting in November 2013.
Thanks to Peter Stenshoel for the shows, and to Jerry Modjeski for helping to engineer the opportunity. See more about Jerry Modjeski's several shows on KFAI at his website, ScorchedEar.com. Lots of Little City in Space material is available at Archive.org.
