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 →

Hello audio drama fans!  We have very little chatter in this episode – we heard your requests for more Black Jack Justice stories, so we’re treating you to more of Jack and Trixie in the new year.  This show clocks out just a few seconds shy of our full hour…which means you have a full 60 minutes chock full of these super sleuths to enjoy.  If you can’t get enough of this dynamic duo, or want to check out a certain tag-team of superheroes from Toronto, head over to Decoder Ring Theatre to check out both Black Jack Justice and The Red Panda Adventures.  TheseRead More →

Happy Holidays, audio drama listeners!  That nip in the air means that Christmas is around the corner – that time of year where radio stations across the country break out their old-school or newly-produced renditions of A Christmas Carol, The Night Before Christmas, or other such tuck.  But we at Midnight Audio Theatre like to mix things up a bit, looking for new stories still related to the holiday season.  We have two such tales this show, as we welcome back friends and past-featured groups Campfire Radio Theater and The Truth Podcast.We start with a country’s desire for new leadership and the promise of making everyRead More →

Winter continues in the Arctic as we return for another two episodes of The White Vault.  This show we’ll continue listening to reports from Svalbard with Episodes 3 and 4 – “Location” and “Response“.  Last show we mentioned that The White Vault is a binge-listening type of audio drama; as such the cast and crew credits aren’t heard until the end of the season, so we wanted to make note of them here. The White Vault is “satellite audio drama”, with an international collection of cast members that record individually and send their lines to be mixed together.  Said mixing is by Brandon Strader (who has also mixed for the Liberty podcast series)Read More →

Hello audio drama fans!  This month, as the holidays approach we’re taking a look at the theme of “family”.  That’s in quotes, because most of our stories are very loosely based on the idea, and not necessarily the heartwarming tales you might expect.  Discovering family secrets, abandoned children and family members lost to the unknown surround our tales this month – perhaps as a reminder to appreciate the people we have in the present. This show we welcome back two familiar friends of the show – Decoder Ring Theatre and It’s All Been Done Radio Hour.  From a 2012 anthology series penned by Tim Prasil,Read More →

We’re back with both dark and light tales of horror and the supernatural this week, as we continue our listen to episodes from The Grayscale and Poplar Cove podcasts.   Last week we didn’t get much chance to dive into the meat and potatoes of these two groups, so this time around we’re taking a few minutes as well to look at how these two podcasts got started, and some of their other audio drama and podcast ventures as well. First up for the evening is The Grayscale, an audio drama series under the umbrella of CPT Broadcast, the audio storytelling side of Critical PointRead More →

Welcome, welcome!  And thanks for joining us for another round of audio drama.  This show, we take one last dip into the “participating witness” stories and get in a third visit to the Otherverse with the episode “Crossfade“.  And we also welcome two new production groups to the show – Critical Point Theatre with The Grayscale series, and Jocelyn DeVore with her mischevious band of characters in Poplar Cove. The Grayscale and Poplar Cove both surround the mysterious and unusual in very different ways.  The Grayscale, for instance, is a podcast anthology series of the strange and unnatural, almost in a ‘Twilight Zone’ sort of fashion.Read More →

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 →
