Radio Drama Revival

Showcasing the diversity and vitality of modern audio drama

Going Deep with Gabriel and David: The Thing on the Fourble Board

August 20, 2016 By Radio Drama Revival

This week, Gabriel Urbina, writer and director of Wolf 359, joins me for a segment we’re calling “Going Deep”; together, the two of us investigate one of Gabriel’s favorite classic audio dramas, 1948’s “The Thing on the Fourble Board” from Quiet, Please.  It takes place on an oil derrick: the fourble board is the deck that comes up to the height of a quadruple-length of drill-pipe.  You’ll see what I mean.

We play the feature, and then Gabriel and I take it apart, piece by piece, trying to unlock precisely what it is that makes “The Thing on the Fourble Board” so damn spooky.
