Welcome, welcome!  And thanks for joining us for another round of audio drama.  This show, we take one last dip into the “participating witness” stories and get in a third visit to the Otherverse with the episode “Crossfade“.  And we also welcome two new production groups to the show – Critical Point Theatre with The Grayscale series, and Jocelyn DeVore with her mischevious band of characters in Poplar Cove. The Grayscale and Poplar Cove both surround the mysterious and unusual in very different ways.  The Grayscale, for instance, is a podcast anthology series of the strange and unnatural, almost in a ‘Twilight Zone’ sort of fashion.Read More →

We’re back with more reports from the field!  Specifically two “participating witness” podcasts we shared with you last show – Small Town Horror and Otherverse.  This show we promised to take a look at the many other audio dramas series created by both production groups, in hopes that tonight’s stories have whet your appetite for more. Otherverse is produced by Crossroad Stations, a group that has already established several different stories harking to all kinds of audio drama types and tropes – if OTR is your preferred style, Jim Robbie and the Wanderers might suit you with it’s band of musical misfits wandering across America.  If intrigueRead More →

We’re back for another round of audio dramas!  We’re continuing our track of the “participating witness” style of storytelling, where first-person reporting on events captured through audio play a prominent role.  This show and next we’ll be hearing two stories that revolve around that kind of found, recorded audio – Small Town Horror and Otherverse. The story of Small Town Horror is lead by Ryan Jennings, native of Crayton, Minnesota who has managed to escape and stay far away from his hometown for years – only to be drawn back after receiving a mysterious package sent from his father’s address.  It all begins with twoRead More →

Welcome back, audiodramaphiles!  This show we have a bit of comedy and a lot of reporting on the mysterious and unknown.  Over the next few weeks, we’ll be listening in to stories from a narrative reporting perspective – with the listener as a “participating witness”, if you will. The Tunnels is one such series; created by Robert Chauncey and produced by Deaf Spider Productions, it follows a curious investigator wanting to find out more about the mysterious tunnels underneath the town of Griffin, Georgia – where they are, their purpose, and their mysterious or haunting history.  With two seasons under their belt and a third seasonRead More →

That’s not to say there still isn’t a mystery afoot! We kick things off with Matthew Steven’s “Shinkei” – one last gig, one last score in a “mildly dystopian” future. After that, a writer tries to find focus and solitude in a chilling story from Tim Prasil, entitled “The Crasher“. A dash of comedy, stirred up with a healthy dose of noir, mystery and suspense – don’t miss it!   Don’t Forget to Check Out:Read 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 →

Audio drama!  Tonight!  And it’s new! Yes, we’re back with some new stories this show – stories that look at a world of demons, both the obvious and the far more subtle. We’re excited to welcome to the show “The Gray Area Podcast“, with stories written and produced by Edward Champion.  The podcast premiered a few months ago and just released their fourth full episode as of this post.  The series is more of an interconnected anthology, with stories that can stand alone but with subtle threads of coincidence and relationships between them that tie them all into a single collective universe.  As Edward Champion wrote and developedRead More →

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 →
