Hello folks!  If you’re reading this, you have found one our long-lost episodes!  This show was aired on Feb 27/28th of 2015, but disappeared soon after broadcast.  It was has been discovered almost a year later and was both reposted and reaired on January 8/9th, 2016. Within, you shall hear a reminder of a casting call gone past, a reminder of future events, and two dark tales from 19 Nocturne Boulevard: “The Big Dark” and “An Hour To Kill“.  Both are supernatural tales that deal with themes of society changes and dangers that lurk in plain sight.  And now, you have the chance to enjoy them!Read More →

Here we are in November!  If you were listening on the radio last week, you may have been wondering, “What happened to MAT this week?”, though we’re hoping it was more along the lines of “Oh, what cool show is this?”  Last week we handed over our Halloween time slot as we have in years past to our cohorts at Craft: The Show, who have been putting on a special Halloween storytelling episode every year starting well before MAT was around.  So once again, we happily handed over the reigns for the evening.  If you missed the show, you can find it by visiting crafttheshow.com andRead 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.
