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 →

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 →

We’re back with both dark and light tales of horror and the supernatural this week, as we continue our listen to episodes from The Grayscale and Poplar Cove podcasts.   Last week we didn’t get much chance to dive into the meat and potatoes of these two groups, so this time around we’re taking a few minutes as well to look at how these two podcasts got started, and some of their other audio drama and podcast ventures as well. First up for the evening is The Grayscale, an audio drama series under the umbrella of CPT Broadcast, the audio storytelling side of Critical PointRead 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 →

tunnels podcast

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 →

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 →

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 →

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 →

It’s October!  Time for fall, time for Halloween and  for World Audio Drama Day – making this an extra special month for audio storytelling, especially of the spooky, strange and unusual type.  While in past years we’ve made October shows particularly horror-full, this month we’ve decided to go the more bizarre and unnatural route and keep things a little lighter around here.  This show will be a nice transition to this, as we move from the unknown suspense of The Orphans into the eclectic characters from King Falls AM and It’s All Been Done Radio Hour. You’ve been hearing episodes of The Orphans for theRead More →
