POCATELLO â Travis Hopkins got hooked on old-time radio programs in junior high school, when he checked out a library cassette tape featuring the 1930s serialized drama hero The Shadow.
Hopkinsâ love of old radio shows has inspired Westside Players to try a new approach toward entertaining the public, now that in-person plays canât be hosted because of COVID-19.
Hopkins, president of the board of directors for Westside Players, said radio podcasts starring Westside Players actors will be available to stream at patreon.com/westsideplayers. The first two programs will be offered for free; listeners will be charged a fee of $5 per month to listen to subsequent programs. Westside Players plans to upload at least two new programs per month.
