MAT Live Cast - Tara Flame Adventures 2018

It’s happened!  If you’ve ever heard one of our weekly episodes and wanted to be in the studio with us, or listened to our MAT Features and have wondered what a live show would be like, this is the show for you!  On Saturday, May 12th we had our first-ever MAT Live show, featuring two MAT Features written by Evan Waters, a past winner of our annual Scriptwriting Competition.  And what an evening it was!  Listeners blew us away with the turn-out, showed us nothing but encouragement, and made for some pretty awesome impromptu foley artists later in the show.  If you made it outRead More →

We’re back with more from Voices in the Wind Audio Theatre!  Last show we shared the first half of “The Geminus Conspiracy” with you all – and now we present to you the stunning conclusion.  To recap, Cliff Weller seemed to have a change in fortune when a potential client asked for his help to find her sister.  But the investigation has lead to the investigation of a secretive corporation and strange goings-on in town.  When we last left Weller, he was learning about the rumors around the building’s history – and we’ll be recapping it again tonight before moving on into Part 2 of this newRead More →

This is a very late episode posting – the spring fund drive has passed, but we fell very short of our goal and will be having a station 24-hour fund drive event the week of May 24th.  Please help WCBE out by donating online at wcbe.org! Thank you to all of you who supported us during latest Spring Fund Drive for WCBE and supporting audio drama on the radio in the process. We love our parent station and we hope you love them too. In fact, we love them so much we thought a public radio-themed story would be a fun treat for tonight – Decoder RingRead More →

If you’re feeling dreary, not to worry!  We have some audio dramas to catch your attention, including another premiere from our MAT Features collection of 2017. This week we’re bringing you a story by Evan Waters, entitled “They Slipped the Bonds of Earth” – a story of science fiction, with a project gone horribly wrong. It is voiced by a fantastic group of actors – and a special thanks goes out to the evening staff at WCBE, for providing some of the background cafe goers you might hear if you listen close enough.  After that, it’s a story from the Decoder Ring Theatre Showcase series, penned byRead More →

Happy Holidays, audio drama listeners!  That nip in the air means that Christmas is around the corner – that time of year where radio stations across the country break out their old-school or newly-produced renditions of A Christmas Carol, The Night Before Christmas, or other such tuck.  But we at Midnight Audio Theatre like to mix things up a bit, looking for new stories still related to the holiday season.  We have two such tales this show, as we welcome back friends and past-featured groups Campfire Radio Theater and The Truth Podcast.We start with a country’s desire for new leadership and the promise of making everyRead 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 →

Hello audio drama folks!  This episode is posted to our website a bit late – around the time of airing, we were getting set to help with WCBE‘s annual Fall Fund Drive, to keep our show and the station on the air!  The fund drive is over now, but if you’re still interested in helping us out, head to wcbe.org and click on the donate button at the top of the page.  Thank you! For this episode, we take one last listen to stories from our friends at The Grayscale and Poplar Cove, with a short commercial break in-between from It’s All Been Done RadioRead 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 →
