A Thinking Thread. This sci-fact, thought-provoking audio drama is adapted from a short story by award-winning British writer Deryn Pittar, and told by Esther Luttrell. The fashion industry is always looking for something new; a cloth to surprise the world and delight the wearer, a fabric that handles and drapes with style and elegance. Jessica hopes their latest creation will save the family’s fashion business. Their researchers have created a ‘thinking thread’ and a walk in the rain was intended to test its capabilities. What no one anticipated was for artificial intelligence to have a will of its own. From Mojave Beach Productions’ Saratoga Theater. Music credits and appreciation to Fesliyan Studios and Pixabay.

UFO ENCOUNTERS. True, documented story told by Esther Luttrell in this unscripted Mojave Beach audio production. “I may not be a nuclear physicist, but I know a solid metallic object hovering just twenty feet over my head from a malfunctioning weather balloon,” Luttrell says in this straightforward account of her personal experiences. “We have got to stop treating the subject as if aliens are comic book characters. They’re real and they’re here.” Quotations at the end of the program, delivered by Patrick McGranahan and Carter Lord, are taken directly from official, declassified, reports by astronauts, military intelligence, a foreign leader, and a U.S. president. The score was composed and performed by David Fesliyan and Steve Oxen of Fesliyan Studios. Jeff Evans is the announcer. Running Time: 39:45.

Bob Powell returns as psychic investigator Frank Batelle in this Mojave Beach Audio Production of Murder at the Liberty Ballroom. The Governor of Kansas asks her friend Batelle to track down the killer of a former movie star before it becomes a media circus. Audrey Hilliard suffered a cruel death in the place she once dominated as the most beautiful homecoming queen in her small Midwestern village. Having been in town only hours before her murder, the challenge is to find the person who lured her to the infamous Liberty Ballroom. Suspect Janet Denison, a former classmate, once vowed to get even with Audrey for stealing her lover “even if takes the rest of my life”. Tony cherishes the memory of himself and Audrey as everyone’s favorite dance team. How could Audrey have forgotten? The local librarian bitterly resents Audrey’s treatment of her mother, while Sheriff Crane denies having known Audrey in their youth. A lie that covers the pain Audrey caused when she broke his heart, his spirit and sparked a rage that would last a lifetime. The “gift” that often leads Batelle down dark corridors and into blind alleys, leads him this time to an ending with a twist no one anticipated. Producer-director Esther Luttrell adapted the script from a short story by Dennis Smirl. Barbara Powell co-produced. An outstanding cast of Mojave Beach Players help to keep listeners in suspense. Excellent score by David Fesliyan, Steve Oxen, David Renda, and David Robson of Fesliyan Studios. Sound effects courtesy of Freesound. Uppbeat provided the talent of composer Jonny Boyle performing his song “Bright Life”. Jack Diamond is the announcer. Running time 54:36.

Episode 6. Nearly midnight in a Florida supermarket. A tiny woman with a face etched in sorrow, asks Esther to hear her story. Because of what Dean had shown his mother since his passing, Esther is able to offer comfort, even enlightenment, to a grieving widow. The experiences continue from all directions, all sources. A student in Esther’s Providence, RI screenwriting workshop is one of many who sees Dean manifest onstage while she is lecturing. Is Dean in evidence or is God in evidence when Esther is given 12 hours advance notice of her mother’s unexpected passing? Is the healing of a family pet more evidence of God? Esther understands that her job isn’t to keep what she’s learning to herself. The message is clear: “Go out and tell them, Mom.

Episode 5. Who is the mysterious “Dean” calling collect from Rome, Italy? Esther is talking to a friend in another state when he asks her to wait while he gets rid of an incoming call. Returning to the line, he seems angry that someone the operator identified as “Dean” wanted him to accept a collect call. Esther knows that deceased loved ones often communicate through electronic means. Further investigation through the phone company reveals that no collect calls, no international calls, in fact, no calls at all had been placed to her friend’s number that entire evening. Esther had learned something new from her son almost every day since his passing the previous April. Now she was to learn that dogs have souls and that a unicorn with green horns can be an effective means of communication, too.

Episode 4. Events leading to a workshop Esther was to give in Concord, MA were no more strange than events had been since Dean’s passing more than seven months before - the sister of a young man electrocuted in a storm-related accident phones Esther after a bolt of electricity goes through her body when she sees Esther’s name in a NY newspaper. She has to know why. The unexpected has become the expected by now. Another cosmic curve is thrown Esther’s way when she’s confronted by a ghost in a century-old Concord, MA farmhouse. Reflecting on the incident, she remembers whispering into the darkness that night, “Thank you, Dean, for showing me that paranormal is perfectly normal.” Dean… Love, Mom is a Mojave Beach audio production from its Voice of Halona Theater, sponsored by the Forgiveness Foundation Int’l.

Episode 3. Dean had been gone for nearly five months. It seemed like only days to Esther. The pain was still raw though the faith was strong. Mom and son had established that both believed in life after death. What Esther wasn’t prepared for was such dramatic proof. Dean, solid as any human on earth, appeared outside her office window with a young man who had committed suicide a few weeks earlier. By “coincidence” the young man’s mother was on the phone with Esther, trying to determine why she felt compelled to call someone she didn’t even know. Dean’s message was clear: “Tell her what you and I already know, Mom. Tell her that life and love never die. Tell her that her boy is fine.” In this episode, Dean also takes Esther to an eerily silent planet where he continues working on his spirituality and, later, puts her in touch with a grieving Texas mother. Dear Dean… Love, Mom is a Mojave Beach Production, produced through The Voice of Halona Theater and made possible by the Forgiveness Foundation Int’l. It was recorded in Dean Fairweather Studios.

When Dean, his stepdad, and Esther visit Esther’s mother-in-law, a child mysteriously appears in the guest room where Dean’s sleeping…a child who had died more than 40 years ago.

You’ve got a terrific idea for a podcast, but no clue how to get started. Mojave Beach Productions producers, Esther Luttrell and Patrick McGranahan, introduce entrepreneurs Eric and Amber Beel, of Different Mix, an online company designed to answer questions like “What recording equipment do I need? What kind of headset and microphone should I get? I want to just hit RECORD and talk. I don’t want to learn the technical aspects of podcasting. Can I do that through your company? Who will distribute my podcasts? How often do I need to release a new podcast?” The best investment an aspiring podcaster might make is the 44 minutes it takes to listen to Eric and Amber’s advice given in layman’s language.

Jeff Evans is a storyteller with enough Andy Rooney in him to keep us glued to our headset. In this delightful tale, he reminds us that we experience many milestones in our lives, marriage for example. His son’s, to be exact. Everyone can appreciate that this special day is really centered around the Bride. But it’s true that the Groom’s side of the story seldom is heard, much less his father’s. Jeff sets about to change that oversite with warmth, humor, and the kind of logic most every father of most every Groom in the world can relate to. Running time: 5:14.

From Mohave Beach Productions’ Saratoga Theater comes this poignant slice-of-life human drama. When drifter Dylan (Rainbow) Maddocks murders a couple in a North Carolina forest, Sheriff Buddy Roland uses tracking methods taught him by his Native American grandfather. Environmentalists and nonviolent militia groups are outraged that any man, regardless of the crime, should be hunted down like an animal. As Rainbow runs from hill-to-hill, a wall of protection goes up around him so that only those closest to him know his identity. Songs are written about the man deeply shrouded in mystery; one even hits the charts. Millions are made on book and movie deals. The true villain, according to the media—and most of the country—is the sheriff. This audio program works so well due primarily to storyteller Jeff Evans plus original songs composed and performed by Erudessa Gentian. The occasional sound of Eddie Craig’s lonely harmonica adds a perfect touch to a haunting tale. Besides the music of Gentian and Craig, the outstanding score was provided by David Fesliyan (www.fesliyanstudios.com). Esther Luttrell wrote, directed, and co-produced with Patrick McGranahan, who has created an incredible backdrop of sound. Running time: 38:50. A special bonus is an additional 10 minute, behind-the-scenes, informal chat between Evans, Luttrell and McGranahan.

Abandonment is one of the most terrifying feelings anyone can experience. It leaves resentment. It leaves unresolved issues that often stay for a lifetime. When Esther Luttrell’s father walked off and left her mother, Esther was 14 years-old. Leaving them was bad enough, but sharing his reason for leaving with no one but his daughter was devastating. He said it was because he was so disappointed in her. A “good girl”, who only wanted to please the parent she most adored, Esther’s heart never quite mended. Her shares her journey with a candor that hits home to anyone who has ever lost a loved one or who has been reduced to a feeling of total worthlessness early in life. Esther’s story brings hope and lifts spirits. It also presents compelling circumstances that point clearly to the evidence of God. Sponsored by the Forgiveness Foundation International.

Thirty-seven, mother of a ten-year-old daughter, and newly divorced . . . the perfect formula for vulnerability to a male who knows prey when he sees it. Amy married her childhood sweetheart and assumed her life would be … well, normal. And it was. Deathly boring and normal. The divorce wasn’t even dramatic. It was as non-descript as the marriage had been. Was that the reason the man, whose voice she admired so on the radio, was able to sweet-talk her, romance her as she’d never dreamed of being romanced? She was the nineteen she had never been. Starry-eyed. And stupid. Yes, my friend, stupid. Ever notice that it rhymes with cupid? Author of an ebook short story by the same name, Esther Luttrell tells the tale so convincingly you have to wonder how much of it is fiction. She’s not telling.

One day Indian braves dig a deep hole along a path she is known to use, hoping she will fall into it, never to be seen again. But even that seems to fail.
