Welcome back everyone!  If you’re in the U.S. and reading this, you must have survived Black Friday.  Congratulations!  As your reward, we have two audio dramas this show that echo that now-past theme of family and togetherness for Thanksgiving, with enough of a dark twist to remind you that even the best intentions can be wicked.  It’s all in the two episodes we’re playing from Uncanny County this evening – “The Eleventh Hour” and “Mother Loves You”. Also, a happy announcement for all you scriptwriters and storytellers! It’s that time of year again, as this show marks the official kick-off of MAT’s annual Scriptwriting Competition.Read More →

Tonight we have our second installment of the serial tastings from Decoder Ring Theatre and Final Rune Productions.  WeRead More →
