And thanks for tuning in, audio drama listeners! If you’ve been hearing some static on-air recently, blame mother nature. WCBE recently took a nasty hit to our transmitter thanks to a well-placed lightening strike.  We’re doing our best to get everything back to proper broadcasting quality and standards, but we will definitely need replacement parts we don’t have to fix this.  If you have a minute and a few extra dollars please go to wcbe.org and make a donation to help us return to full broadcast operation! In the meantime, it’s pure coincidence that tonight we’re airing another work from the production group Dead Signals. YouRead More →

It’s another night of new audio drama on Midnight Audio Theatre!  This show we get back on track with our friends at It’s All Been Done Radio Hour, and welcome new friends at Downstairs Entertainment as we get a listen to their noir production, Rex Rivetter: Private Eye.  Mystery, scifi, horror and comedy – there’s something for everyone this show! We’re opening our show up with a double dose of local listening.  As It’s All Been Done Radio Hour‘s live show is the following day – and we’ve neglected them the past month or two – this show presents two of their stories back-to-back.  To startRead More →

Holiday time is coming up quick!  We’ve already seen Halloween through, now winter is nearly here – the perfect time to curl up with a good audio drama.  We’ll be celebrating Thanksgiving in the U.S. next week, so for this show and next we’ve picked some strange and supernatural tales that also relate to community and relationships.  One of the production groups you’ll recognize in It’s All Been Done Radio Hour, a local radio play troupe we’ve had on MAT several times.  In addition, we’re happy to introduce your ears to the fantastic works of Uncanny County. If you’ve not heard Uncanny County yet, you’re inRead More →

It’s October!  Time for fall, time for Halloween and  for World Audio Drama Day – making this an extra special month for audio storytelling, especially of the spooky, strange and unusual type.  While in past years we’ve made October shows particularly horror-full, this month we’ve decided to go the more bizarre and unnatural route and keep things a little lighter around here.  This show will be a nice transition to this, as we move from the unknown suspense of The Orphans into the eclectic characters from King Falls AM and It’s All Been Done Radio Hour. You’ve been hearing episodes of The Orphans for theRead 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 →

Back for more fantastic tales?  We just kicked off our Summer of the Fantastic last week, and we’re bringing you some fresh new audio dramas that are “out of the ordinary” in one way or another.  On our show tonight, we spend some time on Earth and in the far reaches of space with ‘The Behemoth’ and ‘Universe Journey’. First up is ‘The Behemoth‘, written and produced by Rick Coste, who has also produced an audio drama anthology series, two educational podcasts and is currently working on two new audio drama series – ‘Scotch’, being released now at scotchseries.com, and ‘Bryar Lane’ which is scheduled for release inRead More →

  Hi folks!  If you’re just tuning in, you’ll probably notice this episode is another late post – like last episode, the events and shows mentioned here have already passed, but we want to list the info for you anyway for future reference.  (This is a great track record to be keeping as we arrive at our 200th Episode, we know – a lot of unexpected work obligations and deadlines popped up over the last few weeks.  Thank you for your patience!) HEAR Now Audio Fiction Festival:  As mentioned last week, this festival features audio fiction in all forms, especially audiobooks and radio plays, bringing together productionRead More →

Hello folks!  You’ll notice we haven’t updated for a little while on our website – we took a Spring Break at the beginning of May.  If you tuned in on-air, we hope you enjoyed the blasts-from-the-pasts with Decoder Ring Theatre and Final Rune Productions.  But this time, no reruns!  It’s back to new episodes, starting with a variety of story genres as we welcome new and old friends back to our show. New to our show this episode is Earbud Theater, which has come together through a desire to escape the typical confines of TV and film storytelling.  They have been producing audio dramas sinceRead More →

Welcome back, everyone!  Last week we sat in with 19 Nocturne Boulevard to hear some adaptations on two classic stories.  Tonight is something similar, but in a completely different vein – and yet, related.  Clear as mud? We’re talking about live radio drama performances!  Modern audio dramas performed before an audience, while throwing back to the style of Old-Time Radio (OTR).  If you’re a regular listener, you’ve heard some of this on our show already – performance recordings from groups like Atlanta Radio Theatre Company and Great Northern Audio Theatre have made their way to air here, and have been heard and performed at conventions andRead More →
