Hi folks!  This week I’m afraid I’ve come down with something akin to a very back cold – or a very mild flu, I’m not sure which.  So thank you in advance for listening through my weird, scratchy talking at the beginning and end of tonight’s show.  Hopefully I’ll be in better shape for you next week! Before we jump in to tonight’s tales, I’d like to say a quick thank-you to everyone who turned up for our live auditions in Central Ohio – we sat in with Actors Theatre of Columbus last weekend to hear anyone interested in trying out for parts in ourRead 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 →

HAPPY 2016, EVERYONE! Well, we’re back again!  Christmas has come and gone, but the holidays are still here, including New Year’s Day celebrations.  For the first time we’re joining in on the fun -by pulling together a New Year’s Day episode for your listening enjoyment.  It’s a little bit of everything, as we start with our final MAT Feature of 2015: a sci-fi adventure entitled “Tara Flame On Patrol”, by Evan Waters. “Tara Flame” was a blast to produce, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we have!  Blasting off from that, we follow it up with another gem from The Truth Podcast entitled “Happy New Year“;Read More →

We’re on week three of our November episodes!  If you’ve missed it recently, we’re waiting until December for all of the winter holiday celebrations and have been focusing on stories with themes of rememberance and family this month. Tonight continues on that track, by bringing you the second half of “In the Embers” by Great Northern Audio Theatre.  When we last left our story, archaeologist Digger Moran had just received the alarming news that access to his dig site was about to be plowed down by local developers, just as he’s begun to scratch the surface of the mystery behind lost 1920s jazz singer Kit Jeffers.  AtRead More →

Audio drama, get your audio drama!  This month we’ve decided to wait on the winter holiday hullabaloo, and instead  focus on  stories involving family and remembrance in our lead-up to Thanksgiving. This week and next we have a story from Great Northern Audio Theatre, entitled “In the Embers” which premiered at the HEAR Now Festival in Kansas City earlier this year.  With this story’s release, Great Northern Audio is excited to announce that their story has been picked up by Blackstone Audio, and is available on their website starting December 8th.  That includes a making-of documentary created especially for the release of “In the Embers”. Be sure to check theRead More →

Welcome back!  It’s October, and you know what that means – we’re kicking off a full month of spooky tales, in preparation for Halloween.   But not everything is filled with horror; some of the tales we have for you will have tastes of the comedic and adventure to round out our listening pallets.  This evening we decided to start things off with one of the masters of the supernatural, H.P. Lovecraft.  Our friends at Atlanta Radio Theatre Company have comprised a collection of stories based on the writer’s tales, some to unnerve – and some to make you chuckle.  ARTC  has a new release of this collection on their website entitled,”TheRead More →

Sad but true, folks – tonight is our last show of HEAR Now Festival features from way back in June.   But what great shows to end on!  This episode, we kick things off with two stories from The Truth Podcast, produced by Jonathan Mitchell. We had one or two selections on our show from “The Truth” years ago, and to hear the podcast at the HEAR Now Festival was really exciting. The two stories featured at the festival were “Voyager Found” and “Sylvia’s Blood“. Both of them won recognitions at the Mark Time Awards, including Science Fiction Finalist, the Gold Award for Horror, and Best EnsembleRead More →
