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 →

Can’t get enough of theseRead More →

Too many audio dramas!  No time to talk!  We couldn’t fit it in! For better or worse, you don’t have to hear any babbling from our host this show – these installments of “Starship Iris” and “Lone Star Planet” are so close, we barely got the story credits in. So we’ll keep this post short and sweet too – enjoy Starship Iris, Episode 4: “Phone Home” from Jessica Best and Procyon Podcasts,  and Lone Star Planet,  Episode 3: “Malum Prohibitum” from Atlanta Radio Theatre Company.   Don’t Forget to Check Out: – The Strange Case of Starship Iris – The Atlanta Radio Theatre Company – LoneRead More →

We hardly had anything to say this show!  This show was so packed with story time that we hardly got a few sentences in.  But what is there to know other than the exciting tales that lie ahead?  We begin our hour with Episode 3 of Starship Iris, entitled “In The Deep”, followed by the second chapter of the saga of Ambassador Silk in “Lone Star Planet” from Atlanta Radio Theatre Company. Unfortunately next week is the last night for sharing Starship Iris on our show, so be sure to check out their webpage for more information or support them through Patreon as they continueRead More →
