Hi folks!  This show we shared a full hour of the Atlanta Radio Theatre Company in a special-crafted full hour of “ARTC Presents”, which they made available through PRX.  There’s a great variety of stories here from their series Into the Labyrinth, which include “Time for Station Identification”, “Our Fair City”, “Philip Meow-Lowe, PI” and “Wiki-history”, all recorded from live performances of the pieces.  And I do mean a full hour – which is good for this sinus-infection-weary host.  It’s a night of the unknown, with time travel with and without a time machine in “The More Things Change“.  Enjoy!   Don’t Forget to Check Out:Read More →

Hey there audio drama fans!  You’ll notice we don’t have an episode posted for last week; we had a rerun of Black Jack Justice tales from Decoder Ring Theatre playing on our show, so we had nothing new to share.  But it sounds like it was a good choice to bring back – we heard back from some of you about how you missed the gumshoe duo, so we’ll have to see what we can do about bringing you a few more tales in the upcoming weeks. This show, however, is our time to dust off some of our old Features. With our Scriptwriting Competition goingRead More →

Hello and welcome back everyone!  As you’re aware, we are finally into the cooler weather of Fall and getting ever-so-closer to the end of October.  Which means two exciting dates are coming up – Halloween, and World Audio Drama Day.  When is World Audio Drama Day, you ask? Well it’s conveniently placed the day before the candy-giving holiday.  Not only does it coincide with the anniversary of the original “War of the Worlds” broadcast in 1938, but it’s also the perfect time to track down some really spooky and horror-ific tales to put your ears on edge just before Halloween.  What do we have inRead More →

Hello audio drama listeners, and welcome!  This show you’re tuning in as we help kick off the start of WCBE‘s annual Fall Fund Drive.  If you’re exclusively an online listener, you may not know that this show broadcasts every Friday night at midnight (hence the name) on WCBE 90.5 FM/HD Columbus and 106.3 FM Newark.  This NPR station is home away from home, and we couldn’t have gotten MAT off the ground without their help, love and support.  If you like MAT and want to tell WCBE how much you appreciate having audio drama on the radio airwaves where it all began, consider making aRead More →
