And we’re back with more from the Summer Showcase – Decoder Ring Theatre‘s collection of original tales from outside their regular fare of Black Jack Justice and Red Panda Adventures. That’s not to say there still isn’t a mystery afoot! We kick things off with Matthew Steven’s “Shinkei” – one last gig, one last score in a “mildly dystopian” future. After that, a writer tries to find focus and solitude in a chilling story from Tim Prasil, entitled “The Crasher“. A dash of comedy, stirred up with a healthy dose of noir, mystery and suspense – don’t miss it!   Don’t Forget to Check Out:Read More →

We’re back again with more new stories!   Last show we left off with Part 1 of Rex Rivetter‘s premiere tale of “The Case of the Farmers’ Wife” – and if you’ve been waiting ever since for the exciting continuation and conclusion, this is your lucky day!  We’re kicking our show off with Parts 2 and 3 to sate your need for noir.   After that, we shift gears to something a bit more post-apocalyptic with Liberty: Critical Research. It revolves around the world of Atrius, a gleaming city that was once a colony ravaged by civil war for hundreds of years. Now, they stand separateRead More →

Hi folks!  This show we shared a full hour of the Atlanta Radio Theatre Company in a special-crafted full hour of “ARTC Presents”, which they made available through PRX.  There’s a great variety of stories here from their series Into the Labyrinth, which include “Time for Station Identification”, “Our Fair City”, “Philip Meow-Lowe, PI” and “Wiki-history”, all recorded from live performances of the pieces.  And I do mean a full hour – which is good for this sinus-infection-weary host.  It’s a night of the unknown, with time travel with and without a time machine in “The More Things Change“.  Enjoy!   Don’t Forget to Check Out:Read More →

Welcome back and thanks for tuning in for some more audio dramas!  This show we take another look at Decoder Ring Theatre‘s Summer Showcase series.  Decoder Ring has become so well known for the Red Panda Adventures and Black Jack Justice that sometimes the smaller, shorter series they’ve done fall through the cracks, and we want to make sure you hear some of them!  Take for example tonight’s dose of noir – in color!  It’s a fresh, quick new private investigator with a background setting pulled straight from the early 80’s.  Meet Slick Bracer – a man with a snappy attitude; a tough guy who caresRead More →

Hello there, audio drama fans!  We had a lot to talk about this episode, so hang tight…. First things first – we mentioned last show that we’d be doing a double-feature premiere of our MAT Features from 2016. However, we changed our plans up a bit and figured we’d split the stories across two weeks – because next show will air just before our live auditions for this year’s MAT Features in Columbus, OH!  If you live in Columbus but can’t make it out for tryouts, not to worry – you can send in your audition by email through Sunday, March 12th.  Check out our audition pageRead More →

Hey there audio drama fans!  You’ll notice we don’t have an episode posted for last week; we had a rerun of Black Jack Justice tales from Decoder Ring Theatre playing on our show, so we had nothing new to share.  But it sounds like it was a good choice to bring back – we heard back from some of you about how you missed the gumshoe duo, so we’ll have to see what we can do about bringing you a few more tales in the upcoming weeks. This show, however, is our time to dust off some of our old Features. With our Scriptwriting Competition goingRead More →
