Hi MAT listeners.  Tonight’s episode is a special memorial show for a near and dear friend of the show who passed away recently. Wayne Self was Evening Announcer, Program and Traffic Director at our parent station, WCBE 90.5 FM Columbus, died of a heart attack sometime last Sunday at the age of 57.  Wayne was the one who made sure that MAT got on the air every Friday, even if I was out-of-town for months at a time.  He was with us from the very beginning of the show, from when putting audio dramas on the air was just an idea and we weren’t even sure ofRead 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 →

It’s another night of spooky tales tonight, with an extra-special thanks to you, our listeners!  WCBE managed to raise over $200,000 towards its overall goal at the time of this posting (Nov.11), which is a huge help in keeping our station – and Midnight Audio Theatre – going strong on the airwaves!  We’re still short about $59,000 still, however, so if you missed the chance to donate to our parent station, please do so over at their website, http://www.wcbe.org.  Thank you so much for your support! As for tonight’s program, we’re looking forward to sharing more stories from Campfire Radio Theater in preparation for HalloweenRead More →

We’re taking a break from Campfire Radio Theater tonight to bring you some spooky stories of our own!  We’re revisiting our MAT Features selections, with “Nirvana White”, “The Ghost of Arch Oboler”, “The Hostage”, and some lighter fare with “The Flower Stand”.  All of these stories are winners of our Scriptwriting Competition of 2013 and 2014, and are recorded and performed by local Columbus talent. Right now our parent station, WCBE 90.5 FM Columbus, is in the midst of their annual Fall Fund Drive to raise money and support to keep the station and it’s programs on the air.  We couldn’t have made all of MATRead More →

The title says it all!  Last week we left you with Part 1 of The Intergalactic Nemesis: Robot Planet Rising.  Now with the end of the fund drive passed and as a thank-you for all your support, we released Part 2 on our show for the first time on MAT.  But not only that – it’s a night of tales about these Mechanical Monoliths as we’re revisited by a tale from the ‘Blast-Off Patrol’ of Two-Minute Danger Theater, entitled “The Killer Robots from Space”.  Enjoy!!

Hello audio drama listeners! Tonight we have a special episode – an encore presentation of The Intergalactic Nemesis, Book Two: Robot Planet Rising (Part 1), as our feature during WCBE‘s spring fund drive. If you’ll remember, The Intergalactic Nemesis came through Columbus as a live performance, and our airing of the original radio play was an exclusive to you, our listeners. We want to keep bringing you more stories fresh from the growing audio drama community, as well as our locally-casted and produced original stories, and to do that we want to continue to help WCBE.  If you like what you hear on our show, headRead More →

Dear audio drama fans and listeners of WCBE: You are all fantastically amazing. WCBE managed to make their fundraising goal in full for the Fall, which is the first time in I-don’t-know-how-many years.  And it’s all thanks you folks, you extraordinary listeners and supporters.  I can’t say thank you enough. During the fund drive, we replayed Book One of “The Intergalactic Nemesis”.  As a way of showing our thanks for your support, this episode we decided to release the first half of “The Intergalactic Nemesis, Book Two: Robot Planet Rising”.  We have been saving this story for a special occasion, and thought tonight was theRead More →

Welcome, audio drama friends.  We’re back with another episode of Decorated Air Theatre‘s “This Thing of Ours“, as well as another installment from our featured scriptwriting competition winners of 2012.  Tonight’s selection is “Going Home” by Kathy Brady.  They should be fun listens – and we even ended a little early this show, so you can take the rest of the hour off before your next class.  😉     As we continue to showcase our MAT features over the next few weeks, we’re going to make a point of taking some time each show to talk about the scriptwriting competition, the organizations who haveRead More →

Hey everyone!  Another new episode of “The Incredible Adventures of Jack Flanders” by ZBS Productions tonight…but first, we wanted to touch on events at our parent station, WCBE 90.5 FM. WCBE 90.5 FM Columbus is holding it’s annual spring fund drive as we speak to raise money to keep the station running.  MAT is a labor of love, but we wouldn’t be here to share audio drama stories with you if WCBE hadn’t invited us on its programming schedule.  So if you like Midnight Audio Theatre and want to show your appreciation, please consider making a donation to WCBE’s fund drive.  We love our parentRead More →
