Hi audio drama fans! As we’re getting caught up on our episode logs, we’re sorry to say that at the time of this posting, the MAT scriptwriting competition has come to a close. Good luck to everyone who submitted, and be sure to keep an eye out for the competition again next fall! This show, it’s the little things that get to you. It’s all well and good to say “don’t sweat the small stuff” – until it’s the small stuff that causes the world to go sideways. It’s a theme of our two guest stories – ‘2298‘ by A.R. Olivieri, and another ‘Black JackRead 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 →

And thanks for tuning in, audio drama listeners! If you’ve been hearing some static on-air recently, blame mother nature. WCBE recently took a nasty hit to our transmitter thanks to a well-placed lightening strike.  We’re doing our best to get everything back to proper broadcasting quality and standards, but we will definitely need replacement parts we don’t have to fix this.  If you have a minute and a few extra dollars please go to wcbe.org and make a donation to help us return to full broadcast operation! In the meantime, it’s pure coincidence that tonight we’re airing another work from the production group Dead Signals. YouRead 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 →

If you’ve been enjoying both of the back-to-back series we’ve been sharing these past few weeks, then don’t miss this show!  It’s the last installment of Deck Gibson and The Cleansed in this episode, and like last week we are maxxed out on our hour – no corner-cutting here! If you have loved Deck Gibson, we’re afraid that there are no more of these stories with Decoder Ring Theatre…yet.  The series is part of Decoder Ring’s Showcase, which has been going eight years strong – so check out their site for more variety stories.  Maybe we’ll see more space adventures this year?  We’ll be waitingRead More →

Hello and good evening (or good morning) once again!  We’re back again with our installment of double-series-delights, the fantastic stories from Decoder Ring Theatre and Final Rune Productions.  And this time the hour is filled to the brim with audio drama adventures.  But we still have to hold your attention for an extra second – regarding our announcement of our cast for the MAT Features this year. Basically it comes down to this: Central Ohio blew us away with everyone’s interest in voice acting in our stories this year.  We received so many fantastic auditions that we need an extra day to consider everyone!  Therefore,Read 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 →

Hello folks! We’re back with new stories, as we continue what I’m calling a “Series Run” – two episodic shows back-to-back every week, featuring some of our favorite audio drama groups.  This time around it’s the post-apocalyptic drama of Final Rune Productions‘ fame, Season 1 of “The Cleansed“.   Before that we’ll be harkening back to the style of the golden age of radio in the wonderful science-fiction tales of “Deck Gibson, Far-Reach Commander” – brought to life in the Summer Showcase Series produced by Decoder Ring Theatre.  There’s action, there’s adventure, there’s intrigue!  And you can here them all in one hour, right here!     BeforeRead More →

Hey folks!  Before we go any further, I want to start with a quick apology.  Last week we announced that the winners of our Scriptwriting Competition could be found listed here on our website, but apparently our scheduled updates of that info never took effect after that announcement had been made.  We’ve looked into it and figured out the issue, but not until a few days ago.  A big apology for anyone who went looking for that info online and never found it.  It’s up now! Tonight we have our second installment of the serial tastings from Decoder Ring Theatre and Final Rune Productions.  WeRead More →
