We’re back with more Decoder Ring Theatre and their Summer Showcase stories! This show, we take a trip back to the Wild West, before and after the Golden Age of Radio. Penned by Phil Bledsoe, Blaze Bing is the quintessential Man of the Old West – but when radio dramas have passed their prime, what becomes of the voice who brought Blaze to life? Take a listen to all of the good, bad and the ugly in these back-to-back stories: “Blaze Bing, Rodeo King” and “Tales of the Rodeo King”. Enjoy!

We’ve updated! This and the next few episodes were late in posting – I’m afraid we got a bit sidetracked with following up on MAT Features planning and auditions, as well as some new projects we’re trying to start up. Thank you for your patience! Automnicon is here for you. Whether you want to be or not. Welcome! This show, we’re going on a journey of odd jobs, personal debt and corporate obligation, all thanks to Automnicon – the kind of space-bound company Hartlife might become if it was purely driven by profit and statistics. Born from a love of radio, audio books and storytelling,Read More →

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 →

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 →

Who’s ready for more steampunk and suspense? Kicking things off with BRASS, we’re taken to an alternative 18th century –  one that amplifies the better aspects of the Victorian era, including their more progressive, optimistic and ingenious traits.  Battleground Productions has planted their focus in this society setting – in addition to their regular podcast series, they have also launched a second series, BRASS Stacks, which features short stories from the Victorian and Edwardian eras, and a new BRASS mini-series scheduled for the near future.  Brass fans will have a lot of storytelling to enjoy!  For now, we have two more episodes to share with you, starting whereRead More →

Is the DeLorean gone?  Can we start the show now? We know our intro clip isn’t the normal one – but since our parent station (WCBE 90.5) had their fall fund drive in-between the normal MAT airing days, we decided to add a little extra something of our own, post-drive.  If you love audio drama and want to encourage having it on the radio, consider supporting WCBE 90.5 FM Columbus with a donation! Now, how about some new audio drama stories?  We’ve survived our night in the woods last week with Lake Clarity, now it’s time to go both ways – into the city withRead More →

Hello there, MAT listeners!  Have you had enough of far-out space adventures and the never-ending drama of the city?  Well, you’re in luck because this show we’re taking a trip to Lake Clarity. Midnight Disease Productions has a number of audio drama stories under their belt, including Aftershocks, The Enock Saga, and Lake Clarity (which you’ll hear in a moment). The latter revolves around five teenagers headed to an abandoned camp on the lake to celebrate their last summer before heading their separate ways, only to stumble onto long-abandoned secrets and an evil force that’s been locked away.  With a story that’s inspired by B-Movie-styleRead More →

Who’s ready for more adventures in some out-of-this world locales? In Victoriocity, writers Chris and Jen Sugden share a story that reaches back to 2010 in its production.  The tale of Even Greater London instills the Victorian Era with a significant advance in science and technology, while keeping a strong sense of imagination and tongue-in-cheek humor, especially in our good detective Inspector Fleet.  Victoriocity is a wonderful romp of noir, mystery and comedy that’s sure to amuse. On the other side of the galaxy, the story of Lone Star Planet is a Ron N. Butler adaption of the novel, written by H. Beam Piper. It’s a story of true WesternRead More →
