Continuing with our theme of family for this month, we turn to one that is lost.  Particularly one person – Peri.  If dealing with agroaphobia wasn’t bad enough, her home has begun to change its location every day.  When her home starts popping up in a new location every day, she forces herself to face her fears – and hopes to find her lost brother along the way.  Written by Eli Barraza and produced by Mischa Stanton, The Far Meridian has been developed through a crew with previous experience working on ars PARADOXICA (check it out if you haven’t heard it already).  The story has an introspective feelRead More →

rites of autumn

Welcome back on another spooky evening for audio drama!  October is drawing to a close, which means a few things for us – Halloween is coming up, along with World Audio Drama Day.  On top of that, WCBE‘s fund drive has just ended, and we can’t thank you enough for your support.  The station has still come up short on the amount it needs to raise to see operations continue another year, however – so if you missed the fund drive and want to help, not to worry!  You can make a donation online at wcbe.org – every little bit helps!  And tell them thatRead More →

We’re back with both dark and light tales of horror and the supernatural this week, as we continue our listen to episodes from The Grayscale and Poplar Cove podcasts.   Last week we didn’t get much chance to dive into the meat and potatoes of these two groups, so this time around we’re taking a few minutes as well to look at how these two podcasts got started, and some of their other audio drama and podcast ventures as well. First up for the evening is The Grayscale, an audio drama series under the umbrella of CPT Broadcast, the audio storytelling side of Critical PointRead More →

Welcome, welcome!  And thanks for joining us for another round of audio drama.  This show, we take one last dip into the “participating witness” stories and get in a third visit to the Otherverse with the episode “Crossfade“.  And we also welcome two new production groups to the show – Critical Point Theatre with The Grayscale series, and Jocelyn DeVore with her mischevious band of characters in Poplar Cove. The Grayscale and Poplar Cove both surround the mysterious and unusual in very different ways.  The Grayscale, for instance, is a podcast anthology series of the strange and unnatural, almost in a ‘Twilight Zone’ sort of fashion.Read More →

We’re back with more reports from the field!  Specifically two “participating witness” podcasts we shared with you last show – Small Town Horror and Otherverse.  This show we promised to take a look at the many other audio dramas series created by both production groups, in hopes that tonight’s stories have whet your appetite for more. Otherverse is produced by Crossroad Stations, a group that has already established several different stories harking to all kinds of audio drama types and tropes – if OTR is your preferred style, Jim Robbie and the Wanderers might suit you with it’s band of musical misfits wandering across America.  If intrigueRead More →

We’re back for another round of audio dramas!  We’re continuing our track of the “participating witness” style of storytelling, where first-person reporting on events captured through audio play a prominent role.  This show and next we’ll be hearing two stories that revolve around that kind of found, recorded audio – Small Town Horror and Otherverse. The story of Small Town Horror is lead by Ryan Jennings, native of Crayton, Minnesota who has managed to escape and stay far away from his hometown for years – only to be drawn back after receiving a mysterious package sent from his father’s address.  It all begins with twoRead More →

tunnels podcast

Welcome back, audiodramaphiles!  This show we have a bit of comedy and a lot of reporting on the mysterious and unknown.  Over the next few weeks, we’ll be listening in to stories from a narrative reporting perspective – with the listener as a “participating witness”, if you will. The Tunnels is one such series; created by Robert Chauncey and produced by Deaf Spider Productions, it follows a curious investigator wanting to find out more about the mysterious tunnels underneath the town of Griffin, Georgia – where they are, their purpose, and their mysterious or haunting history.  With two seasons under their belt and a third seasonRead More →

It’s another wibbly-wobbly broadcast week at WCBE – we now have a backup transmitter solution that’s stronger than 25 watts – if you’re in the Columbus area, hopefully the signal is a little stronger thanks to a backup 1000 watt transmitter.  Woo hoo!  Unfortunately we still need to return to full power – and to do that, we need to replace all the components that were fried from the lighting strike that hit our transmitter earlier this month.  If you have a few dollars to spare, please donate to our emergency fundraiser at wcbe.org to make this happen – and thank you for continuing to listen in.Read More →
