Welcome back, audio dramaphiles! You’ve returned just in time to explore the wild unknown of post-civilization Earth – with back-to-back episodes of Still Lives from Studio Knox. This subtle but engrossing story started back in July of 2018 by its quartet of writers – Colton Flick, James Currie, Ríoghnach Robinson, and Sarah Schnebly. Colton and James had just finished “The Magical History of Knox County“, and reached out to their fellow Kenyon College alumni to brainstorm some stories. Fast forward 6 months to recording time with both local and remote actors, and by March the series was ready to make it’s debut – an 8-partRead More →

Hello and welcome! Tonight is all about new visitors – from a crash-landing with Oblivity, Episode 3, to an unexpected knock at the door in Still Lives, Episode 2: The Traveller. And it’s not just the episodes that have a simliar theme – both production groups are alike, in not only creating their stories as independent endeavors – but also as friends coming together to tell a story and sharing it with the world. The Studio Knox team that produces Still Lives is made up of four past students of Kenyon College – Colton Flick, Jamie Currie, Rioghnach Robinson and Sarah Schnebly. The Oblivity team,Read More →

We’re blasting off again tonight! Last time, you got an introduction to Oblivity, and the lives of four unique individuals in a small research base on Pluto, as they attempt to survive each other. This show, Oblivity is back with Episode 2: A Cyborg Meets his Maker, where Lowell has a rare encounter with his cybersurgeon, and everyone at the station is tested – in one way or another. After that we have Still Lives – produced by Studio Knox, we head back to earth after modern civilization has fallen, to find five survivors living under one roof, trying live their lives as best theyRead More →

(A big thank you goes out to our online community – you have been amazingly patient with us as we fell behind with our Episode Archive. Some new project work fell our way, and we’ve been trying to juggle everything…hopefully we’re back on track now!) Hello, audio dramateers! Glad to be back with you with another hour of stories. It’s time to get caught up with more of “The City Within The Walls”, and as an extra treat, we’ve got a bit of science and an Out-of-Time origin story to entertain your ears. The dystopia of “The City Within The Walls” is created and composedRead More →

Is it the future, or the past? Does it matter? This show, we’ll be taking a listen to two very different audio drama projects, from a post-apocalyptic Earth with a dystopian way of life, to a crew that gets hopelessly lost in the far reaches of space. First up is “The City Within The Walls” from Graven Rogue Studios. Created by Josh Monroe, the production started out as “a world building project for a concept album I was working on called ‘Dear Dayton.’” Combined with a book he was working on at the same time, a podcast format was suggested and “The City Within TheRead More →

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 →
