Happy 2017, everyone!  Welcome to another new year as we drift through the audio cosmos.  As we prepare for the coming months and our newest MAT Features, we decided to revisit the Decoder Ring Theatre Showcase series.  Back in 2014, Decoder Ring teamed up with Great Northern Audio Theatre to produce “Mark Time Show Time” – a collection of stories that were originally written for live performance at the awards ceremony of the annual Mark Time Awards.  These scripts have been collected and produced with the Decoder Ring cast, and available for your listening enjoyment on their website.  This show we decided to take a listen toRead More →

Hello folks! We’re back with new stories, as we continue what I’m calling a “Series Run” – two episodic shows back-to-back every week, featuring some of our favorite audio drama groups.  This time around it’s the post-apocalyptic drama of Final Rune Productions‘ fame, Season 1 of “The Cleansed“.   Before that we’ll be harkening back to the style of the golden age of radio in the wonderful science-fiction tales of “Deck Gibson, Far-Reach Commander” – brought to life in the Summer Showcase Series produced by Decoder Ring Theatre.  There’s action, there’s adventure, there’s intrigue!  And you can here them all in one hour, right here!

We had one or two selections on our show from “The Truth” years ago, and to hear the podcast at the HEAR Now Festival was really exciting. The two stories featured at the festival were “Voyager Found” and “Sylvia’s Blood“. Both of them won recognitions at the Mark Time Awards, including Science Fiction Finalist, the Gold Award for Horror, and Best EnsembleRead More →
