Episode 362 – A Suspenseful End

We’ve been celebrating quite the Summer of Suspense – both in real life with the vagaries of the COVID pandemic, and in our imaginations with some fist-clenching stories of horror, mystery, and mayhem.  With Autumn on the horizon, we’ll continue that motif one more time, but with a local eye. Midnight Audio Theatre is produced in Columbus, Ohio.  This final jaunt into the genre kicks off with a series produced in the Columbus neighborhood, and it’s new to the show:  Distress Frequency.  This is a horror, sci-fi and adventure anthology series that harkens back to the Golden Age of Radio, yet with a modern flair.  Read More →

Episode 297 – Feeling Grinchy-Keen

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 →

Episode 288 – Arrivals, Letters and Delays

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 →

Episode 276 – MAT Live!

It’s happened!  If you’ve ever heard one of our weekly episodes and wanted to be in the studio with us, or listened to our MAT Features and have wondered what a live show would be like, this is the show for you!  On Saturday, May 12th we had our first-ever MAT Live show, featuring two MAT Features written by Evan Waters, a past winner of our annual Scriptwriting Competition.  And what an evening it was!  Listeners blew us away with the turn-out, showed us nothing but encouragement, and made for some pretty awesome impromptu foley artists later in the show.  If you made it outRead More →

Episode 271 – Perfect Public Radio

This is a very late episode posting – the spring fund drive has passed, but we fell very short of our goal and will be having a station 24-hour fund drive event the week of May 24th.  Please help WCBE out by donating online at wcbe.org! Thank you to all of you who supported us during latest Spring Fund Drive for WCBE and supporting audio drama on the radio in the process. We love our parent station and we hope you love them too. In fact, we love them so much we thought a public radio-themed story would be a fun treat for tonight – Decoder RingRead More →

Episode 253 – Autumn Comes to Call

Welcome back on another spooky evening for audio drama!  October is drawing to a close, which means a few things for us – Halloween is coming up, along with World Audio Drama Day.  On top of that, WCBE‘s fund drive has just ended, and we can’t thank you enough for your support.  The station has still come up short on the amount it needs to raise to see operations continue another year, however – so if you missed the fund drive and want to help, not to worry!  You can make a donation online at wcbe.org – every little bit helps!  And tell them thatRead More →

Episode 247 – Topnotch Tunnels

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 →

Episode 238 – A Few Rivetting Tales

It’s another night of new audio drama on Midnight Audio Theatre!  This show we get back on track with our friends at It’s All Been Done Radio Hour, and welcome new friends at Downstairs Entertainment as we get a listen to their noir production, Rex Rivetter: Private Eye.  Mystery, scifi, horror and comedy – there’s something for everyone this show! We’re opening our show up with a double dose of local listening.  As It’s All Been Done Radio Hour‘s live show is the following day – and we’ve neglected them the past month or two – this show presents two of their stories back-to-back.  To startRead More →

Episode 232 – Set Course For (Fund Drive) Adventure!

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 →
