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 →

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”.

Welcome back, audio drama fans!  Halloween has passed and October has come and gone – and for many people, that means all kinds of December holiday celebrations are on the horizon.  But there’s still plenty to celebrate in November – in the U.S., the most familiar ones are Veteran’s Day and Thanksgiving.  With that in mind, we decided to celebrate these holidays before all of the Winter-Wonderland-craziness, by bringing you stories with elements of family and remembrance.  This week we have the latest story from Sue Media Productions and Midsummer Sound Company, entitled “Never Again War: The Sacrifice of Käthe Kollwitz” by Helen Engelhardt.  As oneRead More →

It’s an uncovered, long-lost episode! At the time of this posting, this show had disappeared from our archives since it’s original airing 9 months ago.  Fortunately, as we continue to improve our upkeep of our website, we managed to uncover this show and can post it now for your listening pleasure.  It it, we had a full hour feature of works from 19 Nocturne Boulevard.  We continued with our interest in audio dramas of the wild west with 19 Nocturne’s ‘The Deadeye Kid‘ series – in this show, we hear Episode 4, “Haunting Melody“.  After that, it’s a quaint, cheeky short story penned by H. H.Read More →

Happy Post-Fourth-of-July, everyone! Last week we had a rerun of sorts – while we haven’t heard many Independence Day-themed audio dramas, we did a political/humor-themed one a while back for Election Day. So, we brought that show back for last week’s holiday. If you missed it, you can find the episode here. Happy listening! As for tonight, we are back to more new tales. This episode, we have two stories in genres we haven’t heard in quite some time, from a production group that is well-loved and well-missed from last time they were on our show. Final Rune Productions has been awarded several recognitions forRead More →

We’re taking a break from Campfire Radio Theater tonight to bring you some spooky stories of our own!  We’re revisiting our MAT Features selections, with “Nirvana White”, “The Ghost of Arch Oboler”, “The Hostage”, and some lighter fare with “The Flower Stand”.  All of these stories are winners of our Scriptwriting Competition of 2013 and 2014, and are recorded and performed by local Columbus talent. Right now our parent station, WCBE 90.5 FM Columbus, is in the midst of their annual Fall Fund Drive to raise money and support to keep the station and it’s programs on the air.  We couldn’t have made all of MATRead More →
