Black Jack Justice

Episode 351 – No Country for Men (Old or Otherwise)

It’s another world premiere! With this episode, we conclude our celebration of Midnight Audio Theatre-produced features with the debut of a story by K.G. Kline; it won in our 2019 scriptwriting competition. “No Man’s Land” opens above Earth.  A vast orbiting luxury space hotel has been converted into a weather observation station with just one occupant.  The ho-hum routine of her daily duties must alter suddenly when she receives a surprising transmission from a long-forgotten vessel.  This may alter more than her daily duties – it could alter the entire course of this future human society. There are stories behind the story, too.  It wasRead More →

Episode 349 – Freedom Is as Fragile as a Butterfly’s Wings

Midnight Audio Theatre’s features festival is roughly midstride as we present you with a world premiere.  Every year, we’re amazed at the incredible quality and creativity of the works submitted in our annual scriptwriting competition.  Last year (2019) was no exception. You’re about to hear “Wingbeats” by K.S.Dearsley.  Dearsley is an accomplished writer in multiple media – including plays, books, short fiction and poetry.   A Doctor Who fan, she loves to create speculative fiction. In “Wingbeats,” young Katya is sent to live with her aunt in a foreign country after weather ruins the crops in her impoverished farming village.  Her aunt, though, is not theRead More →

Episode 348 – Death Gets Personal

Our Features Festival continues as we present winners from the annual Midnight Audio Theatre scriptwriting competition.  We’ve held the competition since 2012, so plenty of fantastic original audio dramas from multiple genres exist to titillate your fancy. We focus in this installment on the human factor:  personal relationships and loss. “Sea and Sky” opens the show.  Written by Michael McPherson, this 2017 winner delves into the magic that thrives in the special relationship between grandchildren and grandparents.  Then, 2013 winner “A Choice Between” by Glenn Hascall brings you to the intersection of guilt, sorrow, and the afterlife after a fatal car crash.  We conclude withRead More →

Episode 345 – Mobster + Mummy = Magnificent Mysteries

Welcome back, sonic snoops! It’s time for the final installment in our annual January of Jack Justice.  This time, satisfy your madness for mysteries with episodes 62 (“Strange Bedfellows”) and 63 (“My Heart Belongs to Mummy”) from Black Jack Justice’s tenth season. In “Strange Bedfellows,” a big boss is putting big pressure on Jack and Trixie to drop their only active case.  Problem is: without the case, they’re pretty unemployed.  With the case, they might end up pretty dead.  How will they solve that conundrum? Somehow, they do survive, only to take a sideroad to the supernatural in “My Heart Belongs to Mummy.”  What’s aRead More →

Episode 344 – Hard-Boiled Detectives for a Soft-Boiled Writer

It’s our penultimate parade of private-eye potboilers:  the third episode in a row devoted entirely to that slick sonic sultan of sleuthing, Black Jack Justice! Today’s back-to-back adventures are installments 59 (“The Big Time”) and 60 (“The Learner’s Permit”). It’s said that the life of a private investigator consists of bits of action interrupted by long stretches of slow days watching the sun crawl across the office floor.  Jack and Trixie wouldn’t know anything about that; just as they settle in for a big yawner, the door bursts open and opportunity strides in, reeking of after-shave and waving an action-packed expense account.  That means it’sRead More →

Episode 343 – Death, Taxes, and Some Other Certain Things

Come inside, come inside, come inside to part two of our nonstop Noir January of Jack Justice! In this installment, the good people of Decoder Ring Theatre will treat your ears to two tales from season nine of Black Jack Justice –  episodes 56 (“Death and Taxes”) and 57 (“The Cheshire Cat”). As Ben Franklin told his pal Jean-Baptiste LeRoy, “Nothing can be said to be certain except death and taxes.”  Jack Justice would add itemized lists of expenses will certainly show things that aren’t as they appear.  Oh, and a fourth thing that’s certain:  it’ll cost you $39.99 per diem to have Justice &Read More →
