Welcome back, dear listeners!  Tonight we dismiss the spooky for a while in favor of something more fun and adventurous!  If you didn’t know already, there is another side to Decoder Ring Theatre, beyond the ‘Black Jack Justice’ tales we frequently share with you.  It’s a crime-fighting duo, in the dark of night, patrolling the streets of 1930’s Toronto.  Superheroes Red Panda and Flying Squirrel are on the case!  Tonight we’re bringing you the first two episodes of The Red Panda Adventures as we wait for that December holiday to arrive – “Riddle of the Sphinx” and “Night Patrol”.

Hi MAT listeners.  Tonight’s episode is a special memorial show for a near and dear friend of the show who passed away recently. Wayne Self was Evening Announcer, Program and Traffic Director at our parent station, WCBE 90.5 FM Columbus, died of a heart attack sometime last Sunday at the age of 57.  Wayne was the one who made sure that MAT got on the air every Friday, even if I was out-of-town for months at a time.  He was with us from the very beginning of the show, from when putting audio dramas on the air was just an idea and we weren’t even sure ofRead More →

Here we are in November!  If you were listening on the radio last week, you may have been wondering, “What happened to MAT this week?”, though we’re hoping it was more along the lines of “Oh, what cool show is this?”  Last week we handed over our Halloween time slot as we have in years past to our cohorts at Craft: The Show, who have been putting on a special Halloween storytelling episode every year starting well before MAT was around.  So once again, we happily handed over the reigns for the evening.  If you missed the show, you can find it by visiting crafttheshow.com andRead More →

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 →

We’re taking a break from Campfire Radio Theater tonight to bring you some spooky stories of our own!  We’re revisiting our MAT Features selections, with “Nirvana White”, “The Ghost of Arch Oboler”, “The Hostage”, and some lighter fare with “The Flower Stand”.  All of these stories are winners of our Scriptwriting Competition of 2013 and 2014, and are recorded and performed by local Columbus talent. Right now our parent station, WCBE 90.5 FM Columbus, is in the midst of their annual Fall Fund Drive to raise money and support to keep the station and it’s programs on the air.  We couldn’t have made all of MATRead More →
