Episode 368 – The (Super)Natural Beauty of Ohio

Home, sweet home:  once again, we’re featuring stories that take place closer to Midnight Audio Theatre’s physical home…starting with another episode of The Cryptonaturalist. Frankly, we’re addicted to this genre-busting audio journey.  The Cryptonaturalist is created in Central Ohio by the talented Jarod K Anderson.  His podcast received several awards in 2019, and it’s easy to see why – The Cryptonaturalist is a charming series of so much weird and wonderful nature that sounds very much like Welcome to Nightvale – but with all the Midwest charm Ohio offers.  It’s the kind of aural art you just have to experience to understand.  We really hopeRead More →

Episode 367 – This Stuff Gets Real

We’re breaking the mold for Midnight Audio Theatre in this episode.  From sci fi to noir, horror to comedy: our featured dramas tend to be deep fiction if not outright fantasy. Now that October’s episodes highlighting horror are past and we’re quickly approaching the end of the even bigger horror known as 2020, we thought it might be a good time to listen to some stories that are a bit closer to home.  And by “home,” we mean real life.  At least, they start there. We’ll launch with the very first installment of The Cryptonaturalist.  A podcast produced in our own environs of central Ohio,Read More →

Episode 366 – The Horror Masters

Wrapping up our spooky selections for October, this episode brings you stories with nods to the greats, starting off with one last visit to the father of modern horror, Edgar Allan Poe.  Framed by their unsettling asylum, Poe Theatre on the Air resurrects the mysterious Dr. Mallard as your host.  The head of the asylum will bring you to another patient’s room, where you’ll meet an artist who finds himself haunted by “The Oval Portrait.” Perhaps Poe’s shortest work – it was only two pages long when originally published – the horror is no less compelling.  You’ll hear of the portrait of a young womanRead More →

Episode 365 – Death’s at the Door (but Nobody’s Answering)

We’re back with another host of haunting stories for Halloween month, returning to the mysterious asylum in which the Poe Theatre on the Air stages tales from their namesake master of the macabre.  The premise:  many of Edgar Allan Poe’s familiar characters have taken up residence in the asylum for treatment. In early 2019, Poe Theatre began producing adaptations of the works of Edgar Allan Poe as original audio drama productions, first heard on radio via WYPR in Baltimore.  Their commitment and dedication to these works — including live performances and educational programs — has received acclaim from the theatre community and the 2020 HearRead More →

Episode 364 – Once Upon a Midnight (Audio Theatre) Weary

We haven’t scared you since our summer of suspense, so sit back and scream as more sonic terrors slither into your soul! This episode marks the kickoff of a month of spooky stories, as Halloween looms ever closer.   Tonight, we’re going truly old school with a special selection of tales from the mind of Edgar Allan Poe, wonderfully reimagined for your ears by the folks at Poe Theatre on the Air.  They’ve prepared a set of three tales for you tonight – The Black Cat, Premature Burial, and The Raven – all taking place inside a mysterious asylum.  (WARNING:  These stories contain mentions of animalRead More →

Episode 363 – If Everyone Has Superpowers, Who Are the Heroes?

Admit it:  you’ve daydreamed a ton about what your life would be like if you had superpowers.  In your daydreams, there’s no downside.  But in real life? The realistic impact of superpowers is the focus of the series you’ll hear here:  The Phone Booth. The premise is deceptively simple:  what would happen if the bulk of humanity woke up one day with superhuman abilities? The consequences are complex — full of drama, mystery, and the struggles of humans and humanity.  Podcaster Joe Pollard travels the world, interviewing these people who went to sleep ordinary, and woke up as something else. This intriguing series is producedRead More →

Episode 362 – A Suspenseful End

We’ve been celebrating quite the Summer of Suspense – both in real life with the vagaries of the COVID pandemic, and in our imaginations with some fist-clenching stories of horror, mystery, and mayhem.  With Autumn on the horizon, we’ll continue that motif one more time, but with a local eye. Midnight Audio Theatre is produced in Columbus, Ohio.  This final jaunt into the genre kicks off with a series produced in the Columbus neighborhood, and it’s new to the show:  Distress Frequency.  This is a horror, sci-fi and adventure anthology series that harkens back to the Golden Age of Radio, yet with a modern flair.  Read More →

Episode 361 – A Second Dose of Maritime Mayhem

It’s so good, everyone wants more…so this entire episode continues the saga of Station to Station from the Procyon Podcast Network. When we left the story in Midnight Audio Theatre‘s last episode, Miranda Quan was trying to make sense of the recorder and notebooks of her missing research partner while doing her own experiments onboard a research vessel somewhere in the North Pacific.  Jonathan’s work, meanwhile, slowly leads to new revelations – which create more questions than answers. Now, as we hear chapters three and four (“Analysis Paralysis” and “Attention Metrics”), Miranda continues mulling over notes and gets the results from her neglected test samples.  And, lestRead More →

Episode 360 – Maritime Murder Manifests in Mixed Tapes

Horror by itself terrifies enough – but combine it with another genre, and it completely engages your imagination. The proof:  Station to Station, an edge-of-your-seat series centering on Dr. Miranda Quan and the research ship Astrid.  On the eve of her ten-week research mission, she realizes something sinister lurks in the heart of her ship…and she must find answers as she unravels a deadly conspiracy, dodges dangerous threats, and fights to survive in the frigid waters of the North Pacific. We’ll hear the first two chapters in this episode:  “Standard Operating Procedure” and “Workplace Wellbeing.”  The series is produced by the Procyon Podcast Network. You’llRead More →

Scared yet? If you’ve been checking out the last couple of episodes, you’ve been treated to pulse-pounding thrillers marked by murder and mayhem.  This next tale is perfect listening for a hot summer day, because it will send a chill right down your spine. Campfire Radio Theater returns with “Blood Puppets.”  If you think clowns are creepy, just wait until you hear the puppets of a local television show invade the dreams of an anxiety-ridden single mother – giving her a taste of horrifying events soon to be part of her waking world.  Will there be a price to pay, or will these puppets doRead More →
