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 →

tunnels podcast

Welcome back, audiodramaphiles!  This show we have a bit of comedy and a lot of reporting on the mysterious and unknown.  Over the next few weeks, we’ll be listening in to stories from a narrative reporting perspective – with the listener as a “participating witness”, if you will. The Tunnels is one such series; created by Robert Chauncey and produced by Deaf Spider Productions, it follows a curious investigator wanting to find out more about the mysterious tunnels underneath the town of Griffin, Georgia – where they are, their purpose, and their mysterious or haunting history.  With two seasons under their belt and a third seasonRead More →

Hi folks!  This show we shared a full hour of the Atlanta Radio Theatre Company in a special-crafted full hour of “ARTC Presents”, which they made available through PRX.  There’s a great variety of stories here from their series Into the Labyrinth, which include “Time for Station Identification”, “Our Fair City”, “Philip Meow-Lowe, PI” and “Wiki-history”, all recorded from live performances of the pieces.  And I do mean a full hour – which is good for this sinus-infection-weary host.  It’s a night of the unknown, with time travel with and without a time machine in “The More Things Change“.  Enjoy!   Don’t Forget to Check Out:Read More →

Welcome back and thanks for tuning in for some more audio dramas!  This show we take another look at Decoder Ring Theatre‘s Summer Showcase series.  Decoder Ring has become so well known for the Red Panda Adventures and Black Jack Justice that sometimes the smaller, shorter series they’ve done fall through the cracks, and we want to make sure you hear some of them!  Take for example tonight’s dose of noir – in color!  It’s a fresh, quick new private investigator with a background setting pulled straight from the early 80’s.  Meet Slick Bracer – a man with a snappy attitude; a tough guy who caresRead More →
