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!) 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 →

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 →

If you live in Central Ohio or the surrounding area, you know this is a great evening to stay in – because we had snow this morning.  In March.  And there’s more on the way. I used to live farther north, so this really shouldn’t be a surprise…but seriously? Anyway, what better excuse to stay in the warm indoors and listen to some stories?  This show marks Week 5 of our “Series Run” with Decoder Ring Theatre and Final Rune Productions. By the end of this month, we’ll be on to some new stories and series, so enjoy these two while they’re here!  It’s time to returnRead More →

Welcome back folks! It’s Week 4 of our “Series Run” here at MAT, where we’re running two episodic shows back-to-back – one from Decoder Ring Theatre and another from Final Rune Productions. This marks our halfway point for both series!  That means there will be plenty more of these stories coming our way through March, so we hope you’ve been enjoying them so far!  Tonight’s selections start with “Deck Gibson: Far-Reach Commander“, followed by Episode 4 of Final Rune Productions‘ “The Cleansed“, Season 1. But what’s this?  A new announcement!  This is specifically for our listeners in the Central Ohio area. Now that our MAT Feature scripts have been chosen,Read More →

Hello again, folks! For the past few weeks we’ve shared a handful of rediscovered treasures – episodes that were lost to our archives. Tonight we’re still taking a look back in a way, but with some brand-new stories to tell.  Our first selection is none-other than one of our MAT Features!  But how can that be, you ask?  Well, if you’re a long-time listener, you may have noticed back in 2014 that only one of our two winning Scriptwriting Competition entries was produced to air.  Some unfortunate stalling and production backfiring occurred that year which prevented us from sharing the second story with you…but weRead More →

It’s all in the title!  Tonight is the last night to submit your stories to the 5th Annual Scriptwriting Competition.  We’ll keep the page open until 3am Eastern Time – so if you’re a little behind, you’ve got a few more hours left! As for our show, it’s a revisit to an episode from February 2015.  It wandered off into the great unknown before we could get it posted to our website, but it has now returned!  If you missed tonight’s episode, you can hear in full here. Happy listening, everyone!
