Hey there MAT listeners!  So you remember two weeks ago when our Halloween show failed to make it to air?  Well it’s up tonight!  We’re extending October out for two more days so we can bring you one more episode of Halloween-themed stories – starting with Darker Projects’ “The Byron Chronicles”, “Blackout” by Lightning Bolt Theater of the Mind, and wrapping up with “The Haunted Cell” by Campfire Radio Theatre. ALSO – as of this post, we have closed submissions for our 2nd Annual MAT Scriptwriting Competition.  Thank you to everyone who sent in their scripts – we’re looking forward to the review and judgingRead More →

Hey everyone!  Apologies to all listeners who tuned in for last week’s snafu repeat.  Tonight’s show is all new and better! But there’s good and bad news. Good News: MAT is giving way to an hour-long program of original Halloween stories written and produced by students and faculty at The Ohio State University.  Huzzah! Bad News: We don’t have a download available for you tonight.  The only way you’ll catch it is if you listen in to WCBE 90.5 FM Columbus.  If you live out of town, you can catch their streaming broadcast online at wcbe.org as well. Please check out the show on WCBERead More →

Tonight’s the night!  Despite last week’s delay of our season finale (power outages, go fig), we are now ready to go and share with you two last new stories before breaking for the summer.  First up we have “The Touch”, part of the ‘Strange Stories‘ series from Misfits Audio.  Second, we’re featuring the newly-completed production of our Summer Scriptwriting Competition winner, “Take Your Daughter To Work Day” by William Anderson, produced by Merodi Media (which is, well, modesty prevents). As we wind down we would like to say thank you for all your support over the last year-and-a-half, and we look forward to bringing youRead More →

Hello MAT fans!  It may be a late post, but we do have a new episode in store for you.  Misfits Audio pointed us toward their “Strange Stories” series, and so we’re sharing a few of them with you tonight.  We start with “Trio” a collection of three short tales both sweet and spooky, followed by the twisting tale of “Professor Hoyt’s Remarkable Elixir”.  Tune in and take’m for a spin! This was lost but is now found!  This show disappeared into a private post/storage on our website way-back-when.  We have no idea how or why it happened, but it’s back now!  This show wasRead More →

Good news: We have a new episode tonight, featuring a radio adaptation of “A Christmas Carol”! Bad news: We won’t have it available on this website for download; at least, not for a while.  So if you’re checking this page during the regular broadcast hour, I’d encourage you to hop over to www.wcbe.org and click on the “Listen Here” link at the top of the page to tune in.   Have a happy holidays everyone!  Next week’s episode is up in the air at the moment, but we’ll definitely be back next year!

Alas and alack, I’m afraid there’s no new episode on tonight, mostly on account of…stuff.  Things.  Things and stuff.  Stuff of the audio kind.  But we’re looking forward to sharing some holiday tales on MAT soon, so stay tuned! –Cathy *Actions in photo not recommended. Kinda looks like fun though, doesn’t it?

We’re back!  Not much to say this week.  Last show we aired, we ran the very first episode of Midnight Audio Theatre, featuring Dreamcatcher and The Leviathan Chronicles.  Remember that?  It only seemed fitting as MAT has completed a full year of broadcast.  A full year, and 42 episodes to show for it!  So technically there’s about 10 episodes missing to make it a FULL year…52 weeks and all…but with holidays and whatnot, that’s not terrible, right?  (Hopefully?)  In any case, a huge thanks goes out to all who have been listening in, sending us suggestions, and encouraging us along the way.  MAT would notRead More →
