Episode 372 – Carol of the Wedding Bells

It’s December as this edition airs, which means it’s time for a few more holiday tales.  And that means wedding bells are tinkling faintly in the air! We’re featuring our good friends from Sassquach Radio with their wedding-planner holiday rom-com, Deck the Halls with Matrimony.  It’s become a bit of a tradition for Sassquach to join us for the holidays – long time listeners will remember their premiere story of Jackie and Emma, two wedding planners with plenty of clients for the holiday season.  Stu is their friend and photographer.  Complicating things is Trip, the man who captures Emma’s heart despite a whirlwind of mistakenRead More →

Episode 366 – The Horror Masters

Wrapping up our spooky selections for October, this episode brings you stories with nods to the greats, starting off with one last visit to the father of modern horror, Edgar Allan Poe.  Framed by their unsettling asylum, Poe Theatre on the Air resurrects the mysterious Dr. Mallard as your host.  The head of the asylum will bring you to another patient’s room, where you’ll meet an artist who finds himself haunted by “The Oval Portrait.” Perhaps Poe’s shortest work – it was only two pages long when originally published – the horror is no less compelling.  You’ll hear of the portrait of a young womanRead More →

Episode 365 – Death’s at the Door (but Nobody’s Answering)

We’re back with another host of haunting stories for Halloween month, returning to the mysterious asylum in which the Poe Theatre on the Air stages tales from their namesake master of the macabre.  The premise:  many of Edgar Allan Poe’s familiar characters have taken up residence in the asylum for treatment. In early 2019, Poe Theatre began producing adaptations of the works of Edgar Allan Poe as original audio drama productions, first heard on radio via WYPR in Baltimore.  Their commitment and dedication to these works — including live performances and educational programs — has received acclaim from the theatre community and the 2020 HearRead More →

Episode 341 – A Very Scary Christmas

This episode’s theme is reflection:  looking back on the past year, and looking ahead to the year to come.  Our two stories are about exactly that, wrapped ominously in the glitter of the holiday spirit. We’ll start with our pals at Atlanta Radio Theatre Company, with one final dive into the post-zombiecalypse series Mercury: A Broadcast of Hope, as they reflect on the arrival of New Years’ Eve, and what that means about looking ahead when your world belongs to the undead.  That’s the story behind broadcast #451 – “Auld Lang Syne.”  (Remember, each broadcast-style podcast is only available online for 24 hours, so ifRead More →

Episode 340 – How to Prevent a Cruel Yule

Delve into a dynamic duo of delightful dalliances for the holidays!  Two dear friends of our show —  Aural Traditions and Decoder Ring Theatre – provide the line-up as our celebration of wintry wonderlands continues. To get your hour of fun, adventure, and amusements started, we’ll visit Aural Traditions’ It’s About Time Travel Agency series for the timely tale, “Yule Be Sorry”.  Tired of waiting in long lines of holiday travelers at the airport, the agents decide to step through the time portal for their Christmas time-off instead…and it goes according to plan about as well as a Clark Griswold vacation. After that, Flying SquirrelRead More →

Episode 338 – With This Audio I Thee Wed

Welcome to the start of another end-of-year holiday celebration, audio drama fans!  This episode, and the next few, will hold audio tales with at least a few wintry holiday elements. A lot of laughs, loss, fantasy and feasting wait for you in these virtual halls. We’ll begin with a continuing saga that’s more reminiscent of Halloween than New Year’s Day: Mercury – A Broadcast of Hope, #351 – “Tomb of Horrors.” It’s the offspring of Atlanta Radio Theatre Company.  The series has been releasing daily broadcasts from the aftermath of the zombie apocalypse since 2017 – and each episode is available for only 24 hoursRead More →

Episode 337 – We’re Off to Hear the Wizard!

A wicked witch, a good witch, and a bumbling showman:  The Wizard of Oz returns! In our last episode (Midnight Audio Theatre #336), we introduced you to young Dorothy Gale – and her little dog, too.  Swept up by a Kansas twister, Dorothy found herself in the magical land of Oz, where she had an alarming encounter with the Witches of the West and South, a song and dance with the Munchkins, and made friends with the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Lion.   This episode is devoted to the rest of the story, as she and her intrepid trio continue their adventures while findingRead More →

We have another feast of stories ready to serve you.  In our audio appetizer, Ask Answergirl investigates another crime of campus cheating in Episode 5, “Ineligible Receiver.”  A professor has suspicions that a star player on the university football team might be getting a bit too much help with his schoolwork.

For our main course, dig in to Mercury: A Broadcast of Hope with Transmission #412 – “Shine on Harvest Moon.”  Atlanta Radio Theatre Company has been producing this story of daily radio reportingRead More →

Episode 300 – MAT Christmas Special

Happy Holidays radio listeners!   This is a special MAT Holiday episode we aired on Christmas Day this year.  Not every episode of MAT is appropriate for all audiences – it is a midnight show, after all – but on a holiday such as Christmas where storytelling is such a core element of the season, we wanted to share a set of family-friendly stories that everyone could enjoy after the presents have been opened.  And now you can hear it here! We welcomed back two production groups from last year – Uncanny County and Aural Traditions.  We start with the former as we venture out toRead More →
