    • If you're brand new to the world of Pyroflower Radio Hour, this ought to get you caught up:


    WHAT IS PYROFLOWER RADIO HOUR?

    Pyroflower Radio Hour is a radio-type live show performed in the style of the classic radio programs of the 1930's and 40's. The important difference is this - the show is set in the distant future. The cast performs their show within an Orwellian dystopia, and the original "news" stories and commercials reflect the reality of their surroundings.


    WHAT IS THE SHOW LIKE?

    Until we have audio clips for you to preview, we can provide a basic rundown of how the show works. Pyroflower Radio Hour is a collection of short mutually-exclusive segments, each with their own unique style within their individual genre. Each of these segments is broken up by news updates, commercial breaks, and public service announcements.


    WHAT ARE THE SEGMENTS IN THE SHOW?

    The segments currently in our lineup are:

  • Soy On The Wind - Classic Americana with a modern sensibility. Imagine Little House on the Prairie if it were produced today.
  • Hard Times - A gritty science fiction story. Fewer laughs, but solid stories and characters.
  • Flint Steele, P.I. - A combination of the classic detective and superhero stories. Think Sam Spade meets The Shadow.
  • Rattlesnake Canyon - A tribute to the classic Westerns, with a bit of an edge. Think more Deadwood than Blazing Saddles, but without all the swearing.
  • The Agency - Futuristic secret agents save the world from monsters and crazy scientists. Then they eat pudding. Lots of fun.


    WHAT'S NEW THIS TIME?

    This time around, we have added a brand new segment - Rattlesnake Canyon - and Hard Times will begin in Episode 1 instead of Episode 4. The new segment(s) also made it necessary for us to create a few new commercials, too.
