Hello folks!  You’ll notice we haven’t updated for a little while on our website – we took a Spring Break at the beginning of May.  If you tuned in on-air, we hope you enjoyed the blasts-from-the-pasts with Decoder Ring Theatre and Final Rune Productions.  But this time, no reruns!  It’s back to new episodes, starting with a variety of story genres as we welcome new and old friends back to our show. New to our show this episode is Earbud Theater, which has come together through a desire to escape the typical confines of TV and film storytelling.  They have been producing audio dramas sinceRead 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 →

Hello and good evening (or good morning) once again!  We’re back again with our installment of double-series-delights, the fantastic stories from Decoder Ring Theatre and Final Rune Productions.  And this time the hour is filled to the brim with audio drama adventures.  But we still have to hold your attention for an extra second – regarding our announcement of our cast for the MAT Features this year. Basically it comes down to this: Central Ohio blew us away with everyone’s interest in voice acting in our stories this year.  We received so many fantastic auditions that we need an extra day to consider everyone!  Therefore,Read More →

Hi folks!  This week I’m afraid I’ve come down with something akin to a very back cold – or a very mild flu, I’m not sure which.  So thank you in advance for listening through my weird, scratchy talking at the beginning and end of tonight’s show.  Hopefully I’ll be in better shape for you next week! Before we jump in to tonight’s tales, I’d like to say a quick thank-you to everyone who turned up for our live auditions in Central Ohio – we sat in with Actors Theatre of Columbus last weekend to hear anyone interested in trying out for parts in ourRead More →

If you live in Central Ohio or the surrounding area, you know this is a great evening to stay in – because we had snow this morning.  In March.  And there’s more on the way. I used to live farther north, so this really shouldn’t be a surprise…but seriously? Anyway, what better excuse to stay in the warm indoors and listen to some stories?  This show marks Week 5 of our “Series Run” with Decoder Ring Theatre and Final Rune Productions. By the end of this month, we’ll be on to some new stories and series, so enjoy these two while they’re here!  It’s time to returnRead More →

Welcome back folks! It’s Week 4 of our “Series Run” here at MAT, where we’re running two episodic shows back-to-back – one from Decoder Ring Theatre and another from Final Rune Productions. This marks our halfway point for both series!  That means there will be plenty more of these stories coming our way through March, so we hope you’ve been enjoying them so far!  Tonight’s selections start with “Deck Gibson: Far-Reach Commander“, followed by Episode 4 of Final Rune Productions‘ “The Cleansed“, Season 1.     But what’s this?  A new announcement!  This is specifically for our listeners in the Central Ohio area. Now that our MAT Feature scripts haveRead 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 →

We’re on week three of our November episodes!  If you’ve missed it recently, we’re waiting until December for all of the winter holiday celebrations and have been focusing on stories with themes of rememberance and family this month. Tonight continues on that track, by bringing you the second half of “In the Embers” by Great Northern Audio Theatre.  When we last left our story, archaeologist Digger Moran had just received the alarming news that access to his dig site was about to be plowed down by local developers, just as he’s begun to scratch the surface of the mystery behind lost 1920s jazz singer Kit Jeffers.  AtRead More →

Audio drama, get your audio drama!  This month we’ve decided to wait on the winter holiday hullabaloo, and instead  focus on  stories involving family and remembrance in our lead-up to Thanksgiving. This week and next we have a story from Great Northern Audio Theatre, entitled “In the Embers” which premiered at the HEAR Now Festival in Kansas City earlier this year.  With this story’s release, Great Northern Audio is excited to announce that their story has been picked up by Blackstone Audio, and is available on their website starting December 8th.  That includes a making-of documentary created especially for the release of “In the Embers”. Be sure to check theRead More →

Welcome, folks!  We’re counting down the weeks of our spooky shows!  Tonight we have a trio of stories for you, with some special shorts and a long lighthouse mystery.  We are happy to share with you a new, local Columbus audio production, “The Zombie Teddy Bear“, based off of the children’s book by David Simone – it may sound scary, but it’s actually quite charming.  Following that is a joint production from Final Rune Productions and Biddeford High School in Maine, entitled “Vampire in the Vernal Pool” – part of a project to combine theatre art as outdoors-experimental learning. And of course, we have the secondRead More →
