Welcome back everyone!  If you’re in the U.S. and reading this, you must have survived Black Friday.  Congratulations!  As your reward, we have two audio dramas this show that echo that now-past theme of family and togetherness for Thanksgiving, with enough of a dark twist to remind you that even the best intentions can be wicked.  It’s all in the two episodes we’re playing from Uncanny County this evening – “The Eleventh Hour” and “Mother Loves You”. Also, a happy announcement for all you scriptwriters and storytellers! It’s that time of year again, as this show marks the official kick-off of MAT’s annual Scriptwriting Competition.Read More →

Hey folks!  Thanks for joining us for more “lost in an unknown world” stories, featuring the second installments of two shows we featured last week: Second Shift and The Orphans.  Last time we took a closer look at Second Shift and had every intention and focusing on The Orphans this show, but we grossly underestimated how much time was left in the show.  We’ll talk about them next show with a look at Episode 3 of their series; in the meantime, enjoy a full 59-minutes’ worth on non-stop audio drama excitement with “Above the Trees” and “Everything to Everyone, Part 2“.   Don’t Forget to Check Out: –Read More →

Ready to get lost in the unknown?  This week and next, we have an interesting theme –  situations where a group of people are thrown into some bewildering circumstances in unknown lands.  We’re excited to share with you the first episodes of ‘Second Shift‘ from Blue Sky Red Productions and ‘The Orphans‘ by Blacktail Productions.  This episode we take a closer look at ‘Second Shift’ and it’s beginnings before jumping into both stories (with more info on ‘The Orphans’ to follow next week). ‘Second Shift’ is a story you’ve probably heard before – a group of kids from our world are transported to another place entirely…where magic is real, evil threatens, and they’re caught inRead More →

Hello again, everyone!  We had a bit of rerun-run the last two weeks – some last-minute mishaps cut our ‘Fantastic Summer’ a little short.  We hope you enjoyed some old favorites in the meantime – this week’s show promises to be a mix of both old and new! We decided to start things out with another visit from It’s All Been Done Radio Hour.  If you’re a Central Ohio listener, you know that IABDRH does a monthly live performance of original radio play serials.  As we tip our hats to them in their most recent performance, we turn this show into an hour of comedic sci-fi –Read More →

Summer is still here, and so are the fantastic stories! We’re continuing your taste of two series you heard on our show last time – ‘The Bright Sessions‘ and ‘The Once and Future Nerd‘.  Last week we started our therapy sessions with Samantha, one of the first characters written by producer Lauren Shippen. After listening to popular podcasts “Welcome to Night Vale” and “Cabin Pressure” she began to develop ‘The Bright Sessions‘ as an audio drama. The other characters came along shortly after – including another patient of Dr. Bright, a teenage empath named Caleb. This show, we’ll hear the first two meetings between Caleb and Dr. Bright, in EpisodesRead More →
