Rayzur's Edge Audio is the production banner under which Nathan P. Butler produces audio projects, including online radio shows (podcasts), audio dramas, and audiobooks (podiobooks).
Origin & History[]
The first independent audio production to be released by Nathan P. Butler was the first episode of ChronoRadio on May 16, 2002. At that moment, Rayzur's Edge Audio was born. The term became best known, however, with the release of the first act of Second Strike on December 25, 2002, wherein Opening Narrator Abe Peterka announced the name in an opening credit for the first time.
Types of Projects[]
Rayzur's Edge Audio projects have taken several forms:
- Online radio shows (podcasts) entirely hosted and produced by Nathan P. Butler (ChronoRadio, The Butlerniverse, Fan Audio News Source)
- Online radio shows (podcasts) produced by Nathan P. Butler with segments hosted by various individuals, including Butler himself (Other Voices, Fan Audio Made Easy)

- Original fiction audiobooks released online, both independently and on Podiobooks.com (Echoes)
Background[]
The name "Rayzur's Edge Audio" is derived from Butler's desire to experiment in fan audio (being on the "cutting edge") and the name of the heroic team in REA's first audio drama ("Valkan's Rayzurs" of Second Strike). Within Second Strike, the Rayzurs (a play on "razors," of course) are named for a noctural predator from the fictional world of Chornia VI.
