Hello and welcome back!  If you missed last week, we had an additional treat left over from years past – the premiere of  one of the winning MAT Scriptwriting Competition pieces from 2013-2014.  It faced some serious delays, but now it is up on our website an ready to be enjoyed by eager ears. 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 →

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 →

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 →

Happy Last-Week-Of-November, everyone!  I have some good news and possibly not-so-good news. The not-so-good: there’s no new MAT Feature tonight. But we have a good reason, and it leads us to our good news — we have a full show with the Atlanta Radio Theatre Company tonight, as they share with us some stories that fit into our last week of focus on family and remembrance.  Admittedly, those of you in the U.S. will note that this episode aired the day (or two) after Thanksgiving – but between Black Friday madness and the horrors that have come to light in the news this month, it only seemed fitting that we take the extra time and sitRead More →

We’re on week three of our November episodes!  If you’ve missed it recently, we’re waiting until December for all of the winter holiday celebrations and have been focusing on stories with themes of rememberance and family this month. Tonight continues on that track, by bringing you the second half of “In the Embers” by Great Northern Audio Theatre.  When we last left our story, archaeologist Digger Moran had just received the alarming news that access to his dig site was about to be plowed down by local developers, just as he’s begun to scratch the surface of the mystery behind lost 1920s jazz singer Kit Jeffers.  AtRead More →

Audio drama, get your audio drama!  This month we’ve decided to wait on the winter holiday hullabaloo, and instead  focus on  stories involving family and remembrance in our lead-up to Thanksgiving. This week and next we have a story from Great Northern Audio Theatre, entitled “In the Embers” which premiered at the HEAR Now Festival in Kansas City earlier this year.  With this story’s release, Great Northern Audio is excited to announce that their story has been picked up by Blackstone Audio, and is available on their website starting December 8th.  That includes a making-of documentary created especially for the release of “In the Embers”. Be sure to check theRead More →

You’ve read right, it’s back! While we are producing most of MAT’s original stories to be aired in the Fall, tonight we’ve prepared a special treat for our summer as a preview of what’s to come, and we’re sharing that with you tonight.  Starting off our show will be “The Flower Stand”, an original story written by Robert Cooperman, one of the winners of our MAT Scriptwriting Competition in 2013.  We had a great time directing and producing this story, and want to thank Robert for sharing his story with us, as well as our actors Jacob Browning and Elizabeth Harelik for their tireless efforts inRead More →

Welcome back everyone! Tonight we’ve got some new audio treats for all of you to hear tonight.  A warning however – remember how I mentioned some nights are going to be rated PG-13 this year?  Well this is one of those nights. To start things off, we’re kicking off another post-apocalyptic story series, this time from the amazing people at YAP Audio Production.  It follows the aftermath of a war-ravaged world, focusing on the town of Ediburgh, Scotland as the people there are discovering the lingering effects to their home after a missile strike unleashes a chemical attack on the town. Tonight we’re sharing withRead More →
