Episode 369 – Illin’ & Chillin’ in Southern Ohio

Our special theme continues: this is installment #3 presenting stories with a Midwest feel – incorporating slice-of-life tales alongside weird and wonderful discoveries.  Last episode, we heard all of that and more with two series – The Cryptonaturalist, produced in our home region of Central Ohio, and Unwell, which is produced in Chicago but takes place in Mt. Absalom, Ohio.  This episode, we return to that fictional small town where Lillian Harper has begun to take up residence, juggling her old ways of life with all the strange goings-on in two more chapters of Unwell – “The Pageant” and “Rifled.” Unwell is the latest seriesRead More →

Episode 368 – The (Super)Natural Beauty of Ohio

Home, sweet home:  once again, we’re featuring stories that take place closer to Midnight Audio Theatre’s physical home…starting with another episode of The Cryptonaturalist. Frankly, we’re addicted to this genre-busting audio journey.  The Cryptonaturalist is created in Central Ohio by the talented Jarod K Anderson.  His podcast received several awards in 2019, and it’s easy to see why – The Cryptonaturalist is a charming series of so much weird and wonderful nature that sounds very much like Welcome to Nightvale – but with all the Midwest charm Ohio offers.  It’s the kind of aural art you just have to experience to understand.  We really hopeRead More →

Episode 366 – The Horror Masters

Wrapping up our spooky selections for October, this episode brings you stories with nods to the greats, starting off with one last visit to the father of modern horror, Edgar Allan Poe.  Framed by their unsettling asylum, Poe Theatre on the Air resurrects the mysterious Dr. Mallard as your host.  The head of the asylum will bring you to another patient’s room, where you’ll meet an artist who finds himself haunted by “The Oval Portrait.” Perhaps Poe’s shortest work – it was only two pages long when originally published – the horror is no less compelling.  You’ll hear of the portrait of a young womanRead More →

Episode 364 – Once Upon a Midnight (Audio Theatre) Weary

We haven’t scared you since our summer of suspense, so sit back and scream as more sonic terrors slither into your soul! This episode marks the kickoff of a month of spooky stories, as Halloween looms ever closer.   Tonight, we’re going truly old school with a special selection of tales from the mind of Edgar Allan Poe, wonderfully reimagined for your ears by the folks at Poe Theatre on the Air.  They’ve prepared a set of three tales for you tonight – The Black Cat, Premature Burial, and The Raven – all taking place inside a mysterious asylum.  (WARNING:  These stories contain mentions of animalRead More →

Episode 361 – A Second Dose of Maritime Mayhem

It’s so good, everyone wants more…so this entire episode continues the saga of Station to Station from the Procyon Podcast Network. When we left the story in Midnight Audio Theatre‘s last episode, Miranda Quan was trying to make sense of the recorder and notebooks of her missing research partner while doing her own experiments onboard a research vessel somewhere in the North Pacific.  Jonathan’s work, meanwhile, slowly leads to new revelations – which create more questions than answers. Now, as we hear chapters three and four (“Analysis Paralysis” and “Attention Metrics”), Miranda continues mulling over notes and gets the results from her neglected test samples.  And, lestRead More →

Episode 356 – Somewhere Over the Rainbow, Demons Spy

Fantastic fantasy continues as we bring you the next two episodes of Rainbow Demons, just to make sure you get good and hooked on this creative tribute to the fantasy genre and video games – especially Legend of Zelda. The series started as a creative test…but with a couple of episodes under his belt, creator Klim Levene decided the concept was sound, so he enlisted both students and pros to take Rainbow Demons to the next level.  That quality really shines through as you listen to episodes three and four, “Demons & Wizards” and “The Forgotten City.” Once again, we’ll follow that with chapter twoRead More →

Episode 353 – When Earth Breaks, Run Away!

“We’ve pretty much biffed this one.”  That’s the reason humanity is searching for a new planet to terraform in the comedy science fiction series Oz 9.  And with the biffing of COVID and climate change still going strong as we post this installment of Midnight Audio Theatre, we could sure use an hour of laughs! Oz-9’s origins were in a simple audition tape, never meant to be heard by the general public.  Writer and producer Shannon Perry was just helping out her friend Tim (who plays Colin in the series) record material to round out his portfolio.  They started with some Sherlock Holmes readings, thenRead More →

Episode 352 – Sci Fi Is All Relative

Everything is relative.  That includes literary genres.  For example, is space opera science fiction, or is it fantasy in a sci-fi setting? Our feature in this installment of Midnight Audio Theatre faces that relative classification conundrum.  You’ll hear the beginning of the sci fi series Relativity by Lee Shackleford…except it might really be a mystery.  Relativity is the story of a man marooned in space, and the woman hell-bent on rescuing him (albeit “by the book”).  The big mystery to be solved if he’s going to make it home:  how was his ship sabotaged, and why? This series is lovingly produced by Shackleford.  It’s trulyRead More →

Hello audiodramaphiles and storytelling superstars! It’s November, which means its time for us to take a listen to stories about people – their behaviors, their interactions, and their relationships.

To kick it all off, we’re starting with some fun radio-broadcast-style stories.
