2015Exclusion+Day+Full

The obnoxious songs on repeat.  The overly-cheery decorations.  The glitz and glamour of an overdone holiday season.  Is this what goes through your mind during December?  Does everything you see make you want to mutter, “Bah!  Humbug”?  Then never fear – this show is for you! For this episode, we’ve found a handful of grinchy stories from new and old characters alike. Starting things off we welcome the folks at Public Domain Universe with their story, “GhostCo“. The PDU podcast series focuses on Candide, Tom Sawyer, and Cinderella and their misadventures – but for the Christmas holiday, they’ve pulled out an exclusive behind-the-scenes look atRead More →

MAT Live Cast - Tara Flame Adventures 2018

It’s happened!  If you’ve ever heard one of our weekly episodes and wanted to be in the studio with us, or listened to our MAT Features and have wondered what a live show would be like, this is the show for you!  On Saturday, May 12th we had our first-ever MAT Live show, featuring two MAT Features written by Evan Waters, a past winner of our annual Scriptwriting Competition.  And what an evening it was!  Listeners blew us away with the turn-out, showed us nothing but encouragement, and made for some pretty awesome impromptu foley artists later in the show.  If you made it outRead More →

It’s time to head back into space!  We have another show of adventure in the stars as we return with Girl in Space and Universe Journey, and both are back to continue their tales. It’s All Been Done Radio Hour will have the second half of our show, with the story of crew dysfunction and chaos as they transport a familiar admiral across the galaxy, in “Journey of Babble“.  But first, we’re reuniting with “Girl in Space”. The majority of the story is driven by Sara Rhea Werner, who spends 40-80 hours of work writing, performing, mixing and producing each episode. She’s driven by a love of writing and podcasting, asRead More →

This is a very late episode posting – the spring fund drive has passed, but we fell very short of our goal and will be having a station 24-hour fund drive event the week of May 24th.  Please help WCBE out by donating online at wcbe.org! Thank you to all of you who supported us during latest Spring Fund Drive for WCBE and supporting audio drama on the radio in the process. We love our parent station and we hope you love them too. In fact, we love them so much we thought a public radio-themed story would be a fun treat for tonight – Decoder RingRead More →

If you’re feeling dreary, not to worry!  We have some audio dramas to catch your attention, including another premiere from our MAT Features collection of 2017. This week we’re bringing you a story by Evan Waters, entitled “They Slipped the Bonds of Earth” – a story of science fiction, with a project gone horribly wrong. It is voiced by a fantastic group of actors – and a special thanks goes out to the evening staff at WCBE, for providing some of the background cafe goers you might hear if you listen close enough.  After that, it’s a story from the Decoder Ring Theatre Showcase series, penned byRead More →

And thank you for joining us on another premiere night of MAT Features!  We received all of the submissions to our scriptwriting competition, so it’s time for the judges to review the contenders!  In the meantime, we’re happy to bring you another one of our MAT Features from 2017. It’s a comedic romp through the woods with some suspicious undertones in Peter Gruenbaum’s “Bad Egg”.  After that, we have another variety of Decoder Ring Theatre – one of their Summer Showcase Series stories doing their take on a Great Northern Audio favorite. It’s the superhero mockumentary “The Saving of the World”. But first, time for our MAT Feature:Read More →

Winter continues in the Arctic as we return for another two episodes of The White Vault.  This show we’ll continue listening to reports from Svalbard with Episodes 3 and 4 – “Location” and “Response“.  Last show we mentioned that The White Vault is a binge-listening type of audio drama; as such the cast and crew credits aren’t heard until the end of the season, so we wanted to make note of them here. The White Vault is “satellite audio drama”, with an international collection of cast members that record individually and send their lines to be mixed together.  Said mixing is by Brandon Strader (who has also mixed for the Liberty podcast series)Read More →

It’s another wibbly-wobbly broadcast week at WCBE – we now have a backup transmitter solution that’s stronger than 25 watts – if you’re in the Columbus area, hopefully the signal is a little stronger thanks to a backup 1000 watt transmitter.  Woo hoo!  Unfortunately we still need to return to full power – and to do that, we need to replace all the components that were fried from the lighting strike that hit our transmitter earlier this month.  If you have a few dollars to spare, please donate to our emergency fundraiser at wcbe.org to make this happen – and thank you for continuing to listen in.Read More →

And thanks for tuning in, audio drama listeners! If you’ve been hearing some static on-air recently, blame mother nature. WCBE recently took a nasty hit to our transmitter thanks to a well-placed lightening strike.  We’re doing our best to get everything back to proper broadcasting quality and standards, but we will definitely need replacement parts we don’t have to fix this.  If you have a minute and a few extra dollars please go to wcbe.org and make a donation to help us return to full broadcast operation! In the meantime, it’s pure coincidence that tonight we’re airing another work from the production group Dead Signals. YouRead More →

We’re back to do some more Critical Research!  Last show we gave you a quick listen to Entry 001 of  “Liberty: Critical Research” – and this show we’re back with a full hour of the series.  In Entries 002-005, we’ll find out about the further developments of Dr. Kovski and his expedition team as they prepare to investigate the lawless region outside of Atrius, known as “The Fringe”. Written by Travis Vengroff and Kaitlin Statz, Liberty: Critical Research was their first venture into audio drama storytelling.  Without much knowledge of modern audio dramas, they were “simply looking for something creative that we could do together as aRead More →
