Hi there everyone!  We’re getting back on track with our new episodes once again after our unannounced Spring Break earlier this month.  Tonight, our good friends are back from 19 Nocturne Boulevard for an evening of mystery and suspense.  We’ll be all over the map, starting out with a supernatural-western tale, and then propelled into space for a tale of the unnatural.   19 Nocturne shares with us an episode of their western series, The Deadeye Kid in a story entitled “Hostel Territory“, and a science-fiction/horror story on the surface of Venus in “Within the Walls of Eryx“, an adaptation of a story by H.P. Lovecraft and KennethRead More →

Welcome back everyone! It’s time for another evening of storytelling, and once again we have filled up the entire hour of our show with audio drama.  Rejoice! We’re having a sleepover at 19 Nocturne Boulevard, and you’re invited!  But these aren’t just any tales – tonight’s treats are two classic short stories with a modern twist.  The first is “Il Professoro’s Daughter“, inspired by a short story by Nathaniel Hawthorne entitled “Rappaccini’s Daughter” and published in the 1844 collection Mosses from an Old Manse.  The second is called “The View from Within“, based on the story “The Outsider” by H. P. Lovecraft which was first published in Weird Tales, April 1926.  (Interestingly,Read More →

Hello again, folks! For the past few weeks we’ve shared a handful of rediscovered treasures – episodes that were lost to our archives. Tonight we’re still taking a look back in a way, but with some brand-new stories to tell.  Our first selection is none-other than one of our MAT Features!  But how can that be, you ask?  Well, if you’re a long-time listener, you may have noticed back in 2014 that only one of our two winning Scriptwriting Competition entries was produced to air.  Some unfortunate stalling and production backfiring occurred that year which prevented us from sharing the second story with you…but weRead More →

Happy Holidays, everyone!  November is gone, and now it’s time to shower you with many a winter-wonderland-type tale!  This month we’re breaking out the Christmas stories, and every year we try to find a collection of unique and lesser-known tales, instead of the traditional “Carol”.  Tonight is certainly high on that unique list, with pieces from The Truth Podcast and 19 Nocturne Boulevard.  We start with “Naughty or Nice“, which shows us a glimpse of the infrastructure behind Santa’s corporate organization.  After that is a “Trilogy for Xmas“, with stories from the 1912 anthology “A Christmas Garland”, adapted for audio drama – “Scruts” by Arnold Bennett, “PCRead More →

It’s an uncovered, long-lost episode! At the time of this posting, this show had disappeared from our archives since it’s original airing 9 months ago.  Fortunately, as we continue to improve our upkeep of our website, we managed to uncover this show and can post it now for your listening pleasure.  It it, we had a full hour feature of works from 19 Nocturne Boulevard.  We continued with our interest in audio dramas of the wild west with 19 Nocturne’s ‘The Deadeye Kid‘ series – in this show, we hear Episode 4, “Haunting Melody“.  After that, it’s a quaint, cheeky short story penned by H. H.Read More →

Howdy folks!  You might find something a little different about our show tonight.  After getting a taste of some Westerns, we decided to bring around a few of them for September!  What caught our eye this week is the “Deadeye Kid” series from 19 Nocturne Boulevard.  Lemuel Roberts, once the infamous ‘Deadeye Kid’, travels the west as he tries to make up for his checkered past. In tonight’s story, Lem and his sidekick Fanshaw roll into a little town, just in time to stop an unjust hanging and help the town find out who actually deserves punishment.  It’s entitled “The Deadeye Kid : A Hanging At Pickens Rock“,Read More →
