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 →

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 →

Every year on Halloween, MAT steps aside from their regular programming to make way for local Columbus show, “Craft“.  Craft is a weekly show that features and discusses artists and creative individuals and the work they do – and for Halloween, they put together an hour-long program of spooky tales told and performed by local Columbus talent.  Go take a listen when you have the chance!

Welcome, folks!  We’re counting down the weeks of our spooky shows!  Tonight we have a trio of stories for you, with some special shorts and a long lighthouse mystery.  We are happy to share with you a new, local Columbus audio production, “The Zombie Teddy Bear“, based off of the children’s book by David Simone – it may sound scary, but it’s actually quite charming.  Following that is a joint production from Final Rune Productions and Biddeford High School in Maine, entitled “Vampire in the Vernal Pool” – part of a project to combine theatre art as outdoors-experimental learning. And of course, we have the secondRead More →

Here we are in November!  If you were listening on the radio last week, you may have been wondering, “What happened to MAT this week?”, though we’re hoping it was more along the lines of “Oh, what cool show is this?”  Last week we handed over our Halloween time slot as we have in years past to our cohorts at Craft: The Show, who have been putting on a special Halloween storytelling episode every year starting well before MAT was around.  So once again, we happily handed over the reigns for the evening.  If you missed the show, you can find it by visiting crafttheshow.com andRead More →

Hey folks!  Sorry for the late post – we got caught up in the busy-ness of the holiday session  along with everybody else, including planning our 2014 line-up.  We’ve got a lot of great stories coming down the pipe in the New Year; it should be fantastic! But enough – for those of you who have been so patient, waiting to hear the conclusion of last episode’s “Mince Pie Murder” story, here it is!   We pick up with Inspector Fumblequinn, who has just been called upon to investigate the murder of Aunt Myrtle.  Tune in for the rest of the story! And if you wereRead More →

Happy (belated) All-Hallows-Eve! If you tuned in last week, you may have noticed some different voices during our time slot – that’s because Doug Dangler, host of Craft: The Show webcast and podcast series, locally produced an all-original Halloween radio play special which we played on air instead of MAT.  If you missed it, you can catch it posted on the Craft: The Show website or by downloading it from their page on iTunes. Definitely give it a listen if you can! Tonight we bring you two back-to-back MAT Features! We start out the evening with ‘Nirvana White’ by Philip Hickman, followed by ‘The Hostage’ byRead More →

Hey everyone!  Apologies to all listeners who tuned in for last week’s snafu repeat.  Tonight’s show is all new and better! But there’s good and bad news. Good News: MAT is giving way to an hour-long program of original Halloween stories written and produced by students and faculty at The Ohio State University.  Huzzah! Bad News: We don’t have a download available for you tonight.  The only way you’ll catch it is if you listen in to WCBE 90.5 FM Columbus.  If you live out of town, you can catch their streaming broadcast online at wcbe.org as well. Please check out the show on WCBERead More →
