An ancient submariner finds himself underwater.
For this old sailor the sea is a lot rougher on dry land.
The pain of estrangement from his only son & the desire to please his wife with a new freezer, that is beyond the budget, sets the drama in motion.
A young shark smells emotional blood and swims in to take advantage.
David Calder is quite convincing and sympathetic as the old sailor in Fiona Mackie's well crafted, satisfying, and distressingly timely drama.
It serves as a individual case study of the debt crisis that is currently of global significance.
Depth Charge The Afternoon Play BBC Radio 4 is only available until Aug. 6, 2010.
Will Earstory ever get around to reviewing anything other than BBC plays?

Sorry to post this here. I couldn't find contact info for you.
I found your site while looking for audio drama reviews. Thanks for raising awareness about this art form!
I have a small audio production company that produces intense sci-fi and fantasy audio drama layered with biblical themes and philosophy.
Our latest project is titled “Spirit Blade: Special Edition” and is a complete remix of our first audio drama. It uses a full cast, sound effects and dynamic score to create an experience geared toward fans of sci-fi action and those who love big summer movies with lots of special effects, suspense and danger.
You can find out more about who we are and listen to the trailer for "Spirit Blade: Special Edition" at the Spirit Blade Productions Website. (www.spiritblade.net)
You can also download the trailer directly from: http://www.spiritblade.net/downloads/Spirit%20Blade%20Trailer.mp3
I was wondering if you might like to do a review of “Spirit Blade: Special Edition”. I'd be happy to send you a download link for the entire project. There would be no obligation for you to follow through with a review after listening. But please let me know if you're interested in hearing it and I'll send the download link your way.
Thanks for your consideration,
