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.

Arr!  Avast ye lollygaggin’ scallywags!  Ye may have noticed a few of our past episodes have gone missin’ – that’s ’cause they were mutinous reruns and we had them run the plank.  ‘Tis time for something new, me hearties! Ahem.  Sorry about that. Hey there, audio drama fans – this show we go the full hour with the Atlanta Radio Theatre Company and their newest release, Treasure Island!  This is a five-part adaptation of the classic tale, outlined by Thomas E. Fuller and Brad Strickland with Stickland completing the full script adaptation. Both Fuller and Strickland found Treasure Island to be a natural choice for audio drama, withRead More →

Hello there, audio drama fans!  We had a lot to talk about this episode, so hang tight…. First things first – we mentioned last show that we’d be doing a double-feature premiere of our MAT Features from 2016. However, we changed our plans up a bit and figured we’d split the stories across two weeks – because next show will air just before our live auditions for this year’s MAT Features in Columbus, OH!  If you live in Columbus but can’t make it out for tryouts, not to worry – you can send in your audition by email through Sunday, March 12th.  Check out our audition pageRead More →

Hey there audio drama fans!  You’ll notice we don’t have an episode posted for last week; we had a rerun of Black Jack Justice tales from Decoder Ring Theatre playing on our show, so we had nothing new to share.  But it sounds like it was a good choice to bring back – we heard back from some of you about how you missed the gumshoe duo, so we’ll have to see what we can do about bringing you a few more tales in the upcoming weeks. This show, however, is our time to dust off some of our old Features. With our Scriptwriting Competition goingRead More →
