Welcome back, dear listeners – and a jolly December evening to you!  We have another set of holiday tales in store for you tonight – no MAT Features again this week, but rather two back-to-back adventures with our favorite Canadian superheroes, Red Panda and Flying Squirrel!   If you tuned in for MAT Features, not to worry – you’ll be able to hear more of those next week in a Feature Double-Header, so stay tuned! And now, thanks to Decoder Ring Theatre, we have plenty of holiday heroism in the works.  We’ll be starting with Episode 26 – A Midwinter Murder, and finishing up with Episode 30 –Read More →

Happy Holidays, everyone!  November is gone, and now it’s time to shower you with many a winter-wonderland-type tale!  This month we’re breaking out the Christmas stories, and every year we try to find a collection of unique and lesser-known tales, instead of the traditional “Carol”.  Tonight is certainly high on that unique list, with pieces from The Truth Podcast and 19 Nocturne Boulevard.  We start with “Naughty or Nice“, which shows us a glimpse of the infrastructure behind Santa’s corporate organization.  After that is a “Trilogy for Xmas“, with stories from the 1912 anthology “A Christmas Garland”, adapted for audio drama – “Scruts” by Arnold Bennett, “PCRead More →

Happy Last-Week-Of-November, everyone!  I have some good news and possibly not-so-good news. The not-so-good: there’s no new MAT Feature tonight. But we have a good reason, and it leads us to our good news — we have a full show with the Atlanta Radio Theatre Company tonight, as they share with us some stories that fit into our last week of focus on family and remembrance.  Admittedly, those of you in the U.S. will note that this episode aired the day (or two) after Thanksgiving – but between Black Friday madness and the horrors that have come to light in the news this month, it only seemed fitting that we take the extra time and sitRead 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, audio drama fans!  Halloween has passed and October has come and gone – and for many people, that means all kinds of December holiday celebrations are on the horizon.  But there’s still plenty to celebrate in November – in the U.S., the most familiar ones are Veteran’s Day and Thanksgiving.  With that in mind, we decided to celebrate these holidays before all of the Winter-Wonderland-craziness, by bringing you stories with elements of family and remembrance.  This week we have the latest story from Sue Media Productions and Midsummer Sound Company, entitled “Never Again War: The Sacrifice of Käthe Kollwitz” by Helen Engelhardt.  As oneRead More →
