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 haveRead More →

And it’s just in time!  In February, we’ll be announcing the winners of our Scriptwriting Competition held this past December.  We got a lot of entries and our judges have been busy reviewing all of the scripts – stay tuned to our Facebook page over the next few days for the winner announcementRead 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!

HAPPY 2016, EVERYONE! Well, we’re back again!  Christmas has come and gone, but the holidays are still here, including New Year’s Day celebrations.  For the first time we’re joining in on the fun -by pulling together a New Year’s Day episode for your listening enjoyment.  It’s a little bit of everything, as we start with our final MAT Feature of 2015: a sci-fi adventure entitled “Tara Flame On Patrol”, by Evan Waters. “Tara Flame” was a blast to produce, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we have!  Blasting off from that, we follow it up with another gem from The Truth Podcast entitled “Happy New Year“;Read More →

What a night for some holiday audio dramas!  And tonight, we have an extra treat – another story from our 2015 MAT Features!  It’s not Christmas-themed per-se, but it does start far up north, where a research team is investigating some uncovered ruins in a melting glacier. The story is written by Jim McDoniel, one of the winners of our scriptwriting competition last year. Both cast and crew greatly enjoyed this script, and we only hope that we did it justice! For our holiday selections, we start with a tale from Misfits Audio Productions entitled “Moop Saves Christmas“. It’s a sequel to “Moop’s Christmas Carol“, where a tiny alienRead More →

Welcome back, dear listeners – and a jolly December evening to you!  We have another set of holiday tales in store for you tonight – no MAT Features again this week, but rather two back-to-back adventures with our favorite Canadian superheroes, Red Panda and Flying Squirrel!   If you tuned in for MAT Features, not to worry – you’ll be able to hear more of those next week in a Feature Double-Header, so stay tuned! And now, thanks to Decoder Ring Theatre, we have plenty of holiday heroism in the works.  We’ll be starting with Episode 26 – A Midwinter Murder, and finishing up with Episode 30 –Read More →

Happy Holidays, everyone!  November is gone, and now it’s time to shower you with many a winter-wonderland-type tale!  This month we’re breaking out the Christmas stories, and every year we try to find a collection of unique and lesser-known tales, instead of the traditional “Carol”.  Tonight is certainly high on that unique list, with pieces from The Truth Podcast and 19 Nocturne Boulevard.  We start with “Naughty or Nice“, which shows us a glimpse of the infrastructure behind Santa’s corporate organization.  After that is a “Trilogy for Xmas“, with stories from the 1912 anthology “A Christmas Garland”, adapted for audio drama – “Scruts” by Arnold Bennett, “PCRead More →
