And thank you for joining us on another premiere night of MAT Features!  We received all of the submissions to our scriptwriting competition, so it’s time for the judges to review the contenders!  In the meantime, we’re happy to bring you another one of our MAT Features from 2017. It’s a comedic romp through the woods with some suspicious undertones in Peter Gruenbaum’s “Bad Egg”.  After that, we have another variety of Decoder Ring Theatre – one of their Summer Showcase Series stories doing their take on a Great Northern Audio favorite. It’s the superhero mockumentary “The Saving of the World”. But first, time for our MAT Feature:Read More →

Ah ha! We’re quite late to posting this episode, unfortunately – with our concern with posting the latest MAT Features to their pages in a timely fashion, we neglected the episode posting after its premiere. In this show, we kicked off the first of our MAT Features from our 2017 collection, followed by two episodes of Black Jack Justice from Decoder Ring Theatre: Episode 38, “Cops and Robbers” and Episode 42, “The Sky’s the Limit”. This show we really crammed as much audio drama into the hour as possible, so we didn’t get a chance to properly thank the cast and crew of our firstRead More →

Hello audio drama fans!  We have very little chatter in this episode – we heard your requests for more Black Jack Justice stories, so we’re treating you to more of Jack and Trixie in the new year.  This show clocks out just a few seconds shy of our full hour…which means you have a full 60 minutes chock full of these super sleuths to enjoy.  If you can’t get enough of this dynamic duo, or want to check out a certain tag-team of superheroes from Toronto, head over to Decoder Ring Theatre to check out both Black Jack Justice and The Red Panda Adventures.  TheseRead More →

2017 is nearly over!  But we’re still bringing you new audio dramas right up to the last week.  With the holidays starting to wrap up and thoughts of new lives and new resolutions start to spark, we thought it fitting to play two audio dramas from Earbud Theater that we thought fit with the uncertainty of the season.  Old lives and new beginnings are both themes in these stories, as we kick things off with “Zero’s Hour” – involving a character with little time to spare.  After that, we’ll lighten the mood a little with a quick commercial break from our friends at It’s AllRead More →

Happy Holidays, audio drama listeners!  That nip in the air means that Christmas is around the corner – that time of year where radio stations across the country break out their old-school or newly-produced renditions of A Christmas Carol, The Night Before Christmas, or other such tuck.  But we at Midnight Audio Theatre like to mix things up a bit, looking for new stories still related to the holiday season.  We have two such tales this show, as we welcome back friends and past-featured groups Campfire Radio Theater and The Truth Podcast.We start with a country’s desire for new leadership and the promise of making everyRead More →

Winter continues in the Arctic as we return for another two episodes of The White Vault.  This show we’ll continue listening to reports from Svalbard with Episodes 3 and 4 – “Location” and “Response“.  Last show we mentioned that The White Vault is a binge-listening type of audio drama; as such the cast and crew credits aren’t heard until the end of the season, so we wanted to make note of them here. The White Vault is “satellite audio drama”, with an international collection of cast members that record individually and send their lines to be mixed together.  Said mixing is by Brandon Strader (who has also mixed for the Liberty podcast series)Read More →
