It’s turning out to be a cold winter this year, but in this show’s audio drama selections it’s about to become frigid.  We’re trekking to a remote outpost in the Arctic in The White Vault, a story series created by Kaitlin Statz and Travis Vengroff – also the creators of the Liberty: Critical Research series, which was on our show back in June.  ‘The White Vault’ brings us the same production quality and storytelling that the Liberty series does.  With Statz having done extensive research to ensure the scientific accuracy of the show, and Vengroff overseeing the accuracy and believe-ability of the soundscape, the story is very immersive save for theRead More →

Hello audio drama fans!  Tonight we’re leaving the lighthouse of The Far Meridian and headed to one a bit more remote – amid the cold waters of the Atlantic Ocean.  In an alternate present-day, Watchtower 10 keeps a close eye on Transcontinental Bridge that spans the full width of the ocean…except there’s no one on the roads anymore.  In keeping with our loose theme of family for November, The Bridge plays a part in this too – reports of families and friends lost on the bridge one special night ten years ago, and a group of workers at the Watchtower that have no one elseRead More →

Continuing with our theme of family for this month, we turn to one that is lost.  Particularly one person – Peri.  If dealing with agroaphobia wasn’t bad enough, her home has begun to change its location every day.  When her home starts popping up in a new location every day, she forces herself to face her fears – and hopes to find her lost brother along the way.  Written by Eli Barraza and produced by Mischa Stanton, The Far Meridian has been developed through a crew with previous experience working on ars PARADOXICA (check it out if you haven’t heard it already).  The story has an introspective feelRead More →

Hello audio drama fans!  This month, as the holidays approach we’re taking a look at the theme of “family”.  That’s in quotes, because most of our stories are very loosely based on the idea, and not necessarily the heartwarming tales you might expect.  Discovering family secrets, abandoned children and family members lost to the unknown surround our tales this month – perhaps as a reminder to appreciate the people we have in the present. This show we welcome back two familiar friends of the show – Decoder Ring Theatre and It’s All Been Done Radio Hour.  From a 2012 anthology series penned by Tim Prasil,Read More →

What do you mean, Halloween is already over? Last week, we bowed out to let the fine folks at The Craft showcase their annual evening of original spooky tales and dramas – which means we missed out!  So we put together a post-Halloween story night for you, straight from the annals of Campfire Radio Theater.  Some of you mentioned how much you enjoyed “Rites of Autumn” – or rather, how some of our local listeners were stuck in their car listening to it and thoroughly creeped out – that we’ve brought them back for a full hour of scary tales.  This show takes us toRead More →

Welcome back on another spooky evening for audio drama!  October is drawing to a close, which means a few things for us – Halloween is coming up, along with World Audio Drama Day.  On top of that, WCBE‘s fund drive has just ended, and we can’t thank you enough for your support.  The station has still come up short on the amount it needs to raise to see operations continue another year, however – so if you missed the fund drive and want to help, not to worry!  You can make a donation online at wcbe.org – every little bit helps!  And tell them thatRead 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 →
