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 →

It’s time to blast off!  Tonight marks the start of more space adventures: Starship Iris returns with another installment of their story, along with a recent story from Atlanta Radio Theatre Company entitled “Lone Star Planet“. If you haven’t heard of ARTC yet, don’t hesitate to jump over to their website to see all they have dreamt up and produced over the last 30 years.  Really, we’ll wait!  In addition to a catalogue of stories, they’ve developed some regular podcasts as well, including Mercury: A Broadcast of Hope, which showcases a new episode every day. Tonight, though, we kick off our ARTC story time with theRead 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 to the fund drive! That’s right, it’s that time of year again when we ask you lovely audio drama listeners to support our parent station that helps us bring audio drama back to the radio airwaves. With the 2018 Federal budget plan calling for the complete elimination of funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, WCBE is in critical need of listener support. We would never have gotten to where we are today without WCBE, and we’re asking to you to help keep audio storytelling to the airwaves by going to wcbe.org and clicking on the “Donate” button at the top of the page. And give aRead More →

It’s time for more tales on the high sea!  This show we’re rejoining the jolly crew of Atlanta Radio Theatre Company. Last week we heard the first two installments of their adaptation of Treasure Island, and we’re back again with more in Parts 3 and 4 – “My Shore Adventure” and “My Sea Adventure”.  Hold tight to the rails, ye scallywags – the adventure has just begun! And, speaking of ARTC, did you know that they have a circuit of live performances?  They’re kicking things off this April with some noir and mystery at the 221B Con in Atlanta, GA. Definitely check it out ifRead More →

Arr!  Avast ye lollygaggin’ scallywags!  Ye may have noticed a few of our past episodes have gone missin’ – that’s ’cause they were mutinous reruns and we had them run the plank.  ‘Tis time for something new, me hearties! Ahem.  Sorry about that. Hey there, audio drama fans – this show we go the full hour with the Atlanta Radio Theatre Company and their newest release, Treasure Island!  This is a five-part adaptation of the classic tale, outlined by Thomas E. Fuller and Brad Strickland with Stickland completing the full script adaptation. Both Fuller and Strickland found Treasure Island to be a natural choice for audio drama, withRead More →

Welcome back, everyone!  Last week we sat in with 19 Nocturne Boulevard to hear some adaptations on two classic stories.  Tonight is something similar, but in a completely different vein – and yet, related.  Clear as mud? We’re talking about live radio drama performances!  Modern audio dramas performed before an audience, while throwing back to the style of Old-Time Radio (OTR).  If you’re a regular listener, you’ve heard some of this on our show already – performance recordings from groups like Atlanta Radio Theatre Company and Great Northern Audio Theatre have made their way to air here, and have been heard and performed at conventions andRead More →

Happy Last-Week-Of-November, everyone!  I have some good news and possibly not-so-good news. The not-so-good: there’s no new MAT Feature tonight. But we have a good reason, and it leads us to our good news — we have a full show with the Atlanta Radio Theatre Company tonight, as they share with us some stories that fit into our last week of focus on family and remembrance.  Admittedly, those of you in the U.S. will note that this episode aired the day (or two) after Thanksgiving – but between Black Friday madness and the horrors that have come to light in the news this month, it only seemed fitting that we take the extra time and sitRead More →

Welcome back!  It’s October, and you know what that means – we’re kicking off a full month of spooky tales, in preparation for Halloween.   But not everything is filled with horror; some of the tales we have for you will have tastes of the comedic and adventure to round out our listening pallets.  This evening we decided to start things off with one of the masters of the supernatural, H.P. Lovecraft.  Our friends at Atlanta Radio Theatre Company have comprised a collection of stories based on the writer’s tales, some to unnerve – and some to make you chuckle.  ARTC  has a new release of this collection on their website entitled,”TheRead More →
