Arr!  Avast ye lollygaggin’ scallywags!  Ye may have noticed a few of our past episodes have gone missin’ – that’s ’cause they were mutinous reruns and we had them run the plank.  ‘Tis time for something new, me hearties! Ahem.  Sorry about that. Hey there, audio drama fans – this show we go the full hour with the Atlanta Radio Theatre Company and their newest release, Treasure Island!  This is a five-part adaptation of the classic tale, outlined by Thomas E. Fuller and Brad Strickland with Stickland completing the full script adaptation. Both Fuller and Strickland found Treasure Island to be a natural choice for audio drama, withRead More →

Hello there, audio drama fans!  We had a lot to talk about this episode, so hang tight…. First things first – we mentioned last show that we’d be doing a double-feature premiere of our MAT Features from 2016. However, we changed our plans up a bit and figured we’d split the stories across two weeks – because next show will air just before our live auditions for this year’s MAT Features in Columbus, OH!  If you live in Columbus but can’t make it out for tryouts, not to worry – you can send in your audition by email through Sunday, March 12th.  Check out our audition pageRead More →

Hey there audio drama fans!  You’ll notice we don’t have an episode posted for last week; we had a rerun of Black Jack Justice tales from Decoder Ring Theatre playing on our show, so we had nothing new to share.  But it sounds like it was a good choice to bring back – we heard back from some of you about how you missed the gumshoe duo, so we’ll have to see what we can do about bringing you a few more tales in the upcoming weeks. This show, however, is our time to dust off some of our old Features. With our Scriptwriting Competition goingRead More →

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 →

  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!)

If you’ve been enjoying both of the back-to-back series we’ve been sharing these past few weeks, then don’t miss this show!  It’s the last installment of Deck Gibson and The Cleansed in this episode, and like last week we are maxxed out on our hour – no corner-cutting here! If you have loved Deck Gibson, we’re afraid that there are no more of these stories with Decoder Ring Theatre…yet.  The series is part of Decoder Ring’s Showcase, which has been going eight years strong – so check out their site for more variety stories.  Maybe we’ll see more space adventures this year?  We’ll be waitingRead More →

Hello and good evening (or good morning) once again!  We’re back again with our installment of double-series-delights, the fantastic stories from Decoder Ring Theatre and Final Rune Productions.  And this time the hour is filled to the brim with audio drama adventures.  But we still have to hold your attention for an extra second – regarding our announcement of our cast for the MAT Features this year. Basically it comes down to this: Central Ohio blew us away with everyone’s interest in voice acting in our stories this year.  We received so many fantastic auditions that we need an extra day to consider everyone!  Therefore,Read More →

Hi folks!  This week I’m afraid I’ve come down with something akin to a very back cold – or a very mild flu, I’m not sure which.  So thank you in advance for listening through my weird, scratchy talking at the beginning and end of tonight’s show.  Hopefully I’ll be in better shape for you next week! Before we jump in to tonight’s tales, I’d like to say a quick thank-you to everyone who turned up for our live auditions in Central Ohio – we sat in with Actors Theatre of Columbus last weekend to hear anyone interested in trying out for parts in ourRead More →
