It’s another night of spooky tales tonight, with an extra-special thanks to you, our listeners!  WCBE managed to raise over $200,000 towards its overall goal at the time of this posting (Nov.11), which is a huge help in keeping our station – and Midnight Audio Theatre – going strong on the airwaves!  We’re still short about $59,000 still, however, so if you missed the chance to donate to our parent station, please do so over at their website, http://www.wcbe.org.  Thank you so much for your support! As for tonight’s program, we’re looking forward to sharing more stories from Campfire Radio Theater in preparation for HalloweenRead More →

Good evening, everyone!  Well, we’re officially out of summer and our Summer Season, which means we’re back with more new and original audio dramas to share.  Tonight, however, we decided to take a slight detour and give you an update on some past audio dramas that are going “above and beyond” in their storytelling right now. First off, the fantastic folks at Audio Epics have just completed crowdfunding of a full-length audiobook version of their drama, The Witch Hunter Chronicles.  This production will be a bigger, more detailed telling of the original tale, with more places, new characters and a new ending.  You can find outRead More →

Good evening, audio drama fans! It’s more of our summer sling, our throwback series, our break from the norm to visit some classics and the homages to them.  We’re talking about once again sharing an adventure of Jack Flanders with ZBS Foundation‘s “The Fourth Tower of Inverness” as well as Blue Hours Productions and their new take on the SUSPENSE radio theatre anthology. We’ll be starting with them tonight, with a tale entitled “Proof in the Pudding“. Enjoy!     But wait, there’s more!  If you are a scriptwriter, we highly recommend you visit Chatterbox Audio Theater‘s website for information on their 2014 Halloween Show Script Competition.  Read More →

The second installment of “The Fourth Tower of Inverness” from ZBS Foundation is on our list, but before we get to that we’re treated to another episode from Blue Hours Productions in their anthology series “SUSPENSE” – this week’s story is entitled “The Return of The Sorcerer”.     This is another week where we had little time to say much, but if you’re looking for another scriptwriting competition to enter, be sure to check out Chatterbox Audio Theater for their Halloween story competition!  You can find out more about it at their website, here.  GiveRead More →

You’ve read right, it’s back! While we are producing most of MAT’s original stories to be aired in the Fall, tonight we’ve prepared a special treat for our summer as a preview of what’s to come, and we’re sharing that with you tonight.  Starting off our show will be “The Flower Stand”, an original story written by Robert Cooperman, one of the winners of our MAT Scriptwriting Competition in 2013.  We had a great time directing and producing this story, and want to thank Robert for sharing his story with us, as well as our actors Jacob Browning and Elizabeth Harelik for their tireless efforts inRead More →

We’re back from our short break, audio drama fans!  We were gone the past two weeks, working on some programs we’re getting ready for you in the summer, but we’re back tonight with a special Hartlife episode, bringing you not only three new installments of the ‘Our Fair City’ series, but also a recording of a live performance of H.P. Lovecraft’s “Rats in the Walls”.  We know you’ve been enjoying the ‘Our Fair City’ series, and while “Rats in the Walls” is mostly narrated, it’s both energetic and dynamic as both narrator and musical accompaniment are used to tell the story.  Both are certainly worthRead More →

Hello audio drama listeners! Tonight we have a special episode – an encore presentation of The Intergalactic Nemesis, Book Two: Robot Planet Rising (Part 1), as our feature during WCBE‘s spring fund drive.
