Is it the future, or the past? Does it matter? This show, we’ll be taking a listen to two very different audio drama projects, from a post-apocalyptic Earth with a dystopian way of life, to a crew that gets hopelessly lost in the far reaches of space. First up is “The City Within The Walls” from Graven Rogue Studios. Created by Josh Monroe, the production started out as “a world building project for a concept album I was working on called ‘Dear Dayton.’” Combined with a book he was working on at the same time, a podcast format was suggested and “The City Within TheRead More →

The obnoxious songs on repeat.  The overly-cheery decorations.  The glitz and glamour of an overdone holiday season.  Is this what goes through your mind during December?  Does everything you see make you want to mutter, “Bah!  Humbug”?  Then never fear – this show is for you! For this episode, we’ve found a handful of grinchy stories from new and old characters alike. Starting things off we welcome the folks at Public Domain Universe with their story, “GhostCo“. The PDU podcast series focuses on Candide, Tom Sawyer, and Cinderella and their misadventures – but for the Christmas holiday, they’ve pulled out an exclusive behind-the-scenes look atRead More →

It’s time to head back into space!  We have another show of adventure in the stars as we return with Girl in Space and Universe Journey, and both are back to continue their tales. It’s All Been Done Radio Hour will have the second half of our show, with the story of crew dysfunction and chaos as they transport a familiar admiral across the galaxy, in “Journey of Babble“.  But first, we’re reuniting with “Girl in Space”. The majority of the story is driven by Sara Rhea Werner, who spends 40-80 hours of work writing, performing, mixing and producing each episode. She’s driven by a love of writing and podcasting, asRead More →

Welcome back audio dramaphiles! Last show was an April Fools’ episode; this show is all about shooting for the stars in two charming sci-fi tales. Starting things off is the tale of a young botanist in the depths of space, monitoring Ra-1079 from the dying ship Cavatica.  It’s “Girl in Space” – the brainchild of writer/mixer/voice actress/producer Sara Rhea Werner. With 8 episodes released and 4 more coming soon, she has already begun work on Season Two – so if you like what you hear tonight, there’s much more of the story to look forward to!  We’re kicking things off with Episode 1, “Cheese is Delicious Science”. Read More →

This is a very late episode posting – the spring fund drive has passed, but we fell very short of our goal and will be having a station 24-hour fund drive event the week of May 24th.  Please help WCBE out by donating online at wcbe.org! Thank you to all of you who supported us during latest Spring Fund Drive for WCBE and supporting audio drama on the radio in the process. We love our parent station and we hope you love them too. In fact, we love them so much we thought a public radio-themed story would be a fun treat for tonight – Decoder RingRead More →

2017 is nearly over!  But we’re still bringing you new audio dramas right up to the last week.  With the holidays starting to wrap up and thoughts of new lives and new resolutions start to spark, we thought it fitting to play two audio dramas from Earbud Theater that we thought fit with the uncertainty of the season.  Old lives and new beginnings are both themes in these stories, as we kick things off with “Zero’s Hour” – involving a character with little time to spare.  After that, we’ll lighten the mood a little with a quick commercial break from our friends at It’s AllRead More →

Winter continues in the Arctic as we return for another two episodes of The White Vault.  This show we’ll continue listening to reports from Svalbard with Episodes 3 and 4 – “Location” and “Response“.  Last show we mentioned that The White Vault is a binge-listening type of audio drama; as such the cast and crew credits aren’t heard until the end of the season, so we wanted to make note of them here. The White Vault is “satellite audio drama”, with an international collection of cast members that record individually and send their lines to be mixed together.  Said mixing is by Brandon Strader (who has also mixed for the Liberty podcast series)Read More →

Hello audio drama fans!  This month, as the holidays approach we’re taking a look at the theme of “family”.  That’s in quotes, because most of our stories are very loosely based on the idea, and not necessarily the heartwarming tales you might expect.  Discovering family secrets, abandoned children and family members lost to the unknown surround our tales this month – perhaps as a reminder to appreciate the people we have in the present. This show we welcome back two familiar friends of the show – Decoder Ring Theatre and It’s All Been Done Radio Hour.  From a 2012 anthology series penned by Tim Prasil,Read More →
