Hey there audio drama fans!  You’ll notice we don’t have an episode posted for last week; we had a rerun of Black Jack Justice tales from Decoder Ring Theatre playing on our show, so we had nothing new to share.  But it sounds like it was a good choice to bring back – we heard back from some of you about how you missed the gumshoe duo, so we’ll have to see what we can do about bringing you a few more tales in the upcoming weeks. This show, however, is our time to dust off some of our old Features. With our Scriptwriting Competition goingRead More →

Happy 2017, everyone!  Welcome to another new year as we drift through the audio cosmos.  As we prepare for the coming months and our newest MAT Features, we decided to revisit the Decoder Ring Theatre Showcase series.  Back in 2014, Decoder Ring teamed up with Great Northern Audio Theatre to produce “Mark Time Show Time” – a collection of stories that were originally written for live performance at the awards ceremony of the annual Mark Time Awards.  These scripts have been collected and produced with the Decoder Ring cast, and available for your listening enjoyment on their website.  This show we decided to take a listen toRead More →

This episode, we celebrate the Christmas holiday with a special rendition of a timeless classic – “A Christmas Carol,” produced by Voices in the Wind Audio Theatre.  This took up the full hour for us, so nothing to say on our end except… HAPPY HOLIDAYS (and happy listening)!

Snow-White_Master-Cover-Art_360

Hi folks!  This show is a bit short on the introduction side, as we bring you Voice in the Wind Audio Theatre and their newest release, Snow White.  It’s a charming take on the classic fairy tale that, while not typically considered a holiday story, showcases that kind of innocence and wonder we had as children, something we think of more often during the holidays.  Voices in the Wind Audio Theatre have many more full-length stories at their website, including some especially for Christmas, so be sure to check them out! Also, a quick note – last week we announced the start of our annualRead More →

Welcome back everyone!  If you’re in the U.S. and reading this, you must have survived Black Friday.  Congratulations!  As your reward, we have two audio dramas this show that echo that now-past theme of family and togetherness for Thanksgiving, with enough of a dark twist to remind you that even the best intentions can be wicked.  It’s all in the two episodes we’re playing from Uncanny County this evening – “The Eleventh Hour” and “Mother Loves You”. Also, a happy announcement for all you scriptwriters and storytellers! It’s that time of year again, as this show marks the official kick-off of MAT’s annual Scriptwriting Competition.Read More →
