I've enjoyed every show thus far, even the alternate universe original six. Wonderful work! You have a fine show and an incredible group of actors.

Hey Panda! I've got to say that you folks have the moxie!)
I downloaded and listened to an episode (I think it was episode 13?) and though the intro was a bit campy for me, I held on and enjoyed the episode and the voice talent. I'm a huge fan of the original broadcasts of the Shadow (particularly the early ones), and have a vague idea of the amount of work that must go into every episode. I, for one am glad you're doing it! I hope it takes you all far!

[ Posted by RedPanda on Feb 26th, 2007 6:31 PM ]... Thanks man, I appreciate it. Yeah, it's a lot of work, but we're having a fantastic time doing it, and it's a treat to connect with so many folks that enjoy the shows. I totaly agree with you about the early episodes of The Shadow, by the way. As the series ran on, they forgot about all of his powers except invisibility, and started recycling scripts from regular detective series... I still love 'em, but the first 80 episodes or so were by far the best. Now the Pulp mags... There's a Shadow you can hang your hat on! cheers, Gregg

Glad to see you guys on Comicspace.

For anyone new to RED PANDA, all the shows are great, they get better and better. Episode 11, "Duality" is an especially good one. Great stuff!

[ Posted by RedPanda on Feb 1st, 2007 7:50 PM ]... No worries, mate. Yeah, I remember seeing them featured quite heavily on a website I found from the Canada page of "International Superheroes". That's amazing. Sounds to me like you heard the old (now "alternate universe") Red Panda mini-series from 6 or 7 years ago. Yeah, that one was a pilot project for traditional radio and we thought something a lot more broad and silly would have legs... These days with podcasting we can make the shows we actually want, and we're having a great time.

From the "It's All Straw" blog review of The Red Panda Adventures:

"Two of my great pleasures in life are listening to classic old radio and surfing the Net. These two loves come together in a real doozy of a website that I found recently: Decoder Ring Theatre and its flagship podcast, The Red Panda Adventures, created by Gregg Taylor and a talented troupe of Toronto-based thespians. Obviously inspired by classic radio shows of yesteryear such as The Green Hornet and The Shadow, The Red Panda Adventures are witty and stylish revivals of the old costumed crime fighter melodramas. The Red Panda and his trusty sidekick and chauffeur Kit Baxter, also known as The Flying Squirrel, guard Depression-era Toronto against a host of mobsters, monsters, and malefactors by using everything from radio rings and static shoes to powers of hypnosis and the occasional sweet left hook. As written by the very talented Gregg Taylor, the shows are just sly enough not to be in deadly earnest and just serious enough not to slide into outright parody. The Red Panda rocks! New episodes are promised in March." (http://allstraw.blogspot.com)

From the www.sffaudio.com review of The Red Panda Adventures first season of shows:

"Masks, grapple-guns, static boots, retractable membranes, ring-radios? Check. Supervillains with names like The Golden Claw, The Electric Eel and Diablo? Check. Okay then, tune your podcatcher to 'pure pulp' and break out the hockey organ because The Red Panda Adventures - Season One is ready to glide into justice. This first 12 episode season is full of flying kung fu fists, mesmerizing hypnosis, snappy dialog and mystery. Most memorable for me are the characters and the dialogue. Plot lines are reminiscent of comic-book and radio serials from yesteryear but the parlance is all modernistic as filtered through a roaring-twenties speech pattern paradigm. Episode 2: Night Mission and Episode: 7 Red Panda Wanted Dead Or Alive stood-out because these episodes highlighted the interaction between the love-blind hero, Red Panda, and his adoring sidekick The Flying Squirrel. The Panda's superpowers are a cross between those of The Green Hornet and The Shadow. He's a master hypnotist, able to cloud the minds of villains. Other fun aspects are the introduction of other superheroes and superhero groups, in a way the whole show reminds me of animated version of The Tick if it were played slightly straighter.

The Red Panda Adventures - Season One is a super-fun diversion delivered in delicious half-hour doses. The only thing better than the production of this fab audio drama series is the vocal talent. I get endless kicks out of the sexual tension between the oblivious Red Panda and his pining sidekick/driver Kit Baxter. Their city, 1930s Toronto, is quieter than many other audio dramas, I hear less foley and fewer sound effects, I like that they aren't obsessed with putting in the sound of footsteps in every scene - it usually isn't necessary. Also nice is that from episode one of this series this show really works. This is probably because of the experience gained during the previous Red Panda incarnation (a six episode series set during WWII). Season Two is already underway and I look forward to devouring it too."
