Hello audio drama listeners, and welcome!  This show you’re tuning in as we help kick off the start of WCBE‘s annual Fall Fund Drive.  If you’re exclusively an online listener, you may not know that this show broadcasts every Friday night at midnight (hence the name) on WCBE 90.5 FM/HD Columbus and 106.3 FM Newark.  This NPR station is home away from home, and we couldn’t have gotten MAT off the ground without their help, love and support.  If you like MAT and want to tell WCBE how much you appreciate having audio drama on the radio airwaves where it all began, consider making aRead More →

Happy Last-Week-Of-November, everyone!  I have some good news and possibly not-so-good news. The not-so-good: there’s no new MAT Feature tonight. But we have a good reason, and it leads us to our good news — we have a full show with the Atlanta Radio Theatre Company tonight, as they share with us some stories that fit into our last week of focus on family and remembrance.  Admittedly, those of you in the U.S. will note that this episode aired the day (or two) after Thanksgiving – but between Black Friday madness and the horrors that have come to light in the news this month, it only seemed fitting that we take the extra time and sitRead More →

We’re on week three of our November episodes!  If you’ve missed it recently, we’re waiting until December for all of the winter holiday celebrations and have been focusing on stories with themes of rememberance and family this month. Tonight continues on that track, by bringing you the second half of “In the Embers” by Great Northern Audio Theatre.  When we last left our story, archaeologist Digger Moran had just received the alarming news that access to his dig site was about to be plowed down by local developers, just as he’s begun to scratch the surface of the mystery behind lost 1920s jazz singer Kit Jeffers.  AtRead More →

Audio drama, get your audio drama!  This month we’ve decided to wait on the winter holiday hullabaloo, and instead  focus on  stories involving family and remembrance in our lead-up to Thanksgiving. This week and next we have a story from Great Northern Audio Theatre, entitled “In the Embers” which premiered at the HEAR Now Festival in Kansas City earlier this year.  With this story’s release, Great Northern Audio is excited to announce that their story has been picked up by Blackstone Audio, and is available on their website starting December 8th.  That includes a making-of documentary created especially for the release of “In the Embers”. Be sure to check theRead More →

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 →
