Hello audio drama folks!  This episode is posted to our website a bit late – around the time of airing, we were getting set to help with WCBE‘s annual Fall Fund Drive, to keep our show and the station on the air!  The fund drive is over now, but if you’re still interested in helping us out, head to wcbe.org and click on the donate button at the top of the page.  Thank you! For this episode, we take one last listen to stories from our friends at The Grayscale and Poplar Cove, with a short commercial break in-between from It’s All Been Done RadioRead More →

We’re back with both dark and light tales of horror and the supernatural this week, as we continue our listen to episodes from The Grayscale and Poplar Cove podcasts.   Last week we didn’t get much chance to dive into the meat and potatoes of these two groups, so this time around we’re taking a few minutes as well to look at how these two podcasts got started, and some of their other audio drama and podcast ventures as well. First up for the evening is The Grayscale, an audio drama series under the umbrella of CPT Broadcast, the audio storytelling side of Critical PointRead More →

Welcome, welcome!  And thanks for joining us for another round of audio drama.  This show, we take one last dip into the “participating witness” stories and get in a third visit to the Otherverse with the episode “Crossfade“.  And we also welcome two new production groups to the show – Critical Point Theatre with The Grayscale series, and Jocelyn DeVore with her mischevious band of characters in Poplar Cove. The Grayscale and Poplar Cove both surround the mysterious and unusual in very different ways.  The Grayscale, for instance, is a podcast anthology series of the strange and unnatural, almost in a ‘Twilight Zone’ sort of fashion.Read More →

We’re back with more reports from the field!  Specifically two “participating witness” podcasts we shared with you last show – Small Town Horror and Otherverse.  This show we promised to take a look at the many other audio dramas series created by both production groups, in hopes that tonight’s stories have whet your appetite for more. Otherverse is produced by Crossroad Stations, a group that has already established several different stories harking to all kinds of audio drama types and tropes – if OTR is your preferred style, Jim Robbie and the Wanderers might suit you with it’s band of musical misfits wandering across America.  If intrigueRead More →

We’re back for another round of audio dramas!  We’re continuing our track of the “participating witness” style of storytelling, where first-person reporting on events captured through audio play a prominent role.  This show and next we’ll be hearing two stories that revolve around that kind of found, recorded audio – Small Town Horror and Otherverse. The story of Small Town Horror is lead by Ryan Jennings, native of Crayton, Minnesota who has managed to escape and stay far away from his hometown for years – only to be drawn back after receiving a mysterious package sent from his father’s address.  It all begins with twoRead More →

Welcome back, audiodramaphiles!  This show we have a bit of comedy and a lot of reporting on the mysterious and unknown.  Over the next few weeks, we’ll be listening in to stories from a narrative reporting perspective – with the listener as a “participating witness”, if you will. The Tunnels is one such series; created by Robert Chauncey and produced by Deaf Spider Productions, it follows a curious investigator wanting to find out more about the mysterious tunnels underneath the town of Griffin, Georgia – where they are, their purpose, and their mysterious or haunting history.  With two seasons under their belt and a third seasonRead More →

Thanks for joining us for another new show of audio drama!  This time, we take a look at some traditional tales with a twist from the family-friendly collection of audio dramas produced by Aural Traditions. Based in Charleston, SC, Aural Traditions has a strong focus on being a platform for writers, voice actors and audio editors/sound designers to share their skills.  The strong local theatre and performance presence makes for a great avenue for local involvement in all aspects of their productions.  Their anthology format allows for flexability for both writers and actors, and they recently held a Writer’s Workshop for Audio Drama in CharlestonRead More →

And we’re back with more from the Summer Showcase – Decoder Ring Theatre‘s collection of original tales from outside their regular fare of Black Jack Justice and Red Panda Adventures. That’s not to say there still isn’t a mystery afoot! We kick things off with Matthew Steven’s “Shinkei” – one last gig, one last score in a “mildly dystopian” future. After that, a writer tries to find focus and solitude in a chilling story from Tim Prasil, entitled “The Crasher“. A dash of comedy, stirred up with a healthy dose of noir, mystery and suspense – don’t miss it!   Don’t Forget to Check Out:Read More →

It’s another wibbly-wobbly broadcast week at WCBE – we now have a backup transmitter solution that’s stronger than 25 watts – if you’re in the Columbus area, hopefully the signal is a little stronger thanks to a backup 1000 watt transmitter.  Woo hoo!  Unfortunately we still need to return to full power – and to do that, we need to replace all the components that were fried from the lighting strike that hit our transmitter earlier this month.  If you have a few dollars to spare, please donate to our emergency fundraiser at wcbe.org to make this happen – and thank you for continuing to listen in.Read More →
