Hi folks!  This episode we decided to do something we haven’t done in a while – in addition to our regular storytelling treats, we’ve put some in-production audio dramas in the spotlight as well.  Specifically, we wanted to take a look at some crowdfunding campaigns.  We know that audio drama production is a labor-of-love for most groups, with folks getting paid in thanks and appreciation.  But unfortunately it doesn’t always pay for recording equipment or acting talent or production costs.  Online donation and crowdfunding has helped fans play a direct role in bringing their favorite stories to life.

Welcome back folks!  This show we jump from the engagement of the live radio drama performance to using the radio as part of the storytelling itself.  Normally we can’t treat ourselves to these kinds of stories on MAT, because of a certain radio drama that was broadcast on radio way-back-when, which caused enough panic that it tied up the ability of police and first-responders to react to crises.  A little thing called “War of the Worlds” — I guess you’ve heard of it?

Sad but true, folks – tonight is our last show of HEAR Now Festival features from way back in June.   But what great shows to end on!  This episode, we kick things off with two stories from The Truth Podcast, produced by Jonathan Mitchell. We had one or two selections on our show from “The Truth” years ago, and to hear the podcast at the HEAR Now Festival was really exciting. The two stories featured at the festival were “Voyager Found” and “Sylvia’s Blood“. Both of them won recognitions at the Mark Time Awards, including Science Fiction Finalist, the Gold Award for Horror, and Best EnsembleRead More →
