It’s another jam-packed hour of storytelling this show!  As we move into March, it’s time for one more MAT Feature from our 2017 collection – last but not least is Michael McPherson’s, “Sea and Sky”, one of our winners from the MAT Script Competition last year.  Speaking of, congratulations to our winners for 2018!  Auditions for the characters in the winning scripts are fast approaching, so keep your eyes peeled for more info on that.  After “Sea and Sky” is one more Summer Showcase Series story, entitled “Thinking in Ternary” from Decoder Ring Theatre.  It’s an episode all about memory and imagination – and we hopeRead More →

Ah ha! We’re quite late to posting this episode, unfortunately – with our concern with posting the latest MAT Features to their pages in a timely fashion, we neglected the episode posting after its premiere. In this show, we kicked off the first of our MAT Features from our 2017 collection, followed by two episodes of Black Jack Justice from Decoder Ring Theatre: Episode 38, “Cops and Robbers” and Episode 42, “The Sky’s the Limit”. This show we really crammed as much audio drama into the hour as possible, so we didn’t get a chance to properly thank the cast and crew of our firstRead More →

Winter continues in the Arctic as we return for another two episodes of The White Vault.  This show we’ll continue listening to reports from Svalbard with Episodes 3 and 4 – “Location” and “Response“.  Last show we mentioned that The White Vault is a binge-listening type of audio drama; as such the cast and crew credits aren’t heard until the end of the season, so we wanted to make note of them here. The White Vault is “satellite audio drama”, with an international collection of cast members that record individually and send their lines to be mixed together.  Said mixing is by Brandon Strader (who has also mixed for the Liberty podcast series)Read More →

It’s turning out to be a cold winter this year, but in this show’s audio drama selections it’s about to become frigid.  We’re trekking to a remote outpost in the Arctic in The White Vault, a story series created by Kaitlin Statz and Travis Vengroff – also the creators of the Liberty: Critical Research series, which was on our show back in June.  ‘The White Vault’ brings us the same production quality and storytelling that the Liberty series does.  With Statz having done extensive research to ensure the scientific accuracy of the show, and Vengroff overseeing the accuracy and believe-ability of the soundscape, the story is very immersive save for theRead More →

Continuing with our theme of family for this month, we turn to one that is lost.  Particularly one person – Peri.  If dealing with agroaphobia wasn’t bad enough, her home has begun to change its location every day.  When her home starts popping up in a new location every day, she forces herself to face her fears – and hopes to find her lost brother along the way.  Written by Eli Barraza and produced by Mischa Stanton, The Far Meridian has been developed through a crew with previous experience working on ars PARADOXICA (check it out if you haven’t heard it already).  The story has an introspective feelRead More →

Hello audio drama fans!  This month, as the holidays approach we’re taking a look at the theme of “family”.  That’s in quotes, because most of our stories are very loosely based on the idea, and not necessarily the heartwarming tales you might expect.  Discovering family secrets, abandoned children and family members lost to the unknown surround our tales this month – perhaps as a reminder to appreciate the people we have in the present. This show we welcome back two familiar friends of the show – Decoder Ring Theatre and It’s All Been Done Radio Hour.  From a 2012 anthology series penned by Tim Prasil,Read More →

What do you mean, Halloween is already over? Last week, we bowed out to let the fine folks at The Craft showcase their annual evening of original spooky tales and dramas – which means we missed out!  So we put together a post-Halloween story night for you, straight from the annals of Campfire Radio Theater.  Some of you mentioned how much you enjoyed “Rites of Autumn” – or rather, how some of our local listeners were stuck in their car listening to it and thoroughly creeped out – that we’ve brought them back for a full hour of scary tales.  This show takes us toRead More →

rites of autumn

Welcome back on another spooky evening for audio drama!  October is drawing to a close, which means a few things for us – Halloween is coming up, along with World Audio Drama Day.  On top of that, WCBE‘s fund drive has just ended, and we can’t thank you enough for your support.  The station has still come up short on the amount it needs to raise to see operations continue another year, however – so if you missed the fund drive and want to help, not to worry!  You can make a donation online at wcbe.org – every little bit helps!  And tell them thatRead More →
