Moonlight Audio Theatre

A VERY SPECIAL HOLIDAY GREETING to you, our listeners, from us, the various creators in the Moonlight Audio family!  2025 was a very good year for us at Moonlight: new ownership by Pete Lutz and Andy Hartson-Bowyer, but doing our best to maintain the legacy of high quality established by founder David Farquhar. In the past six months, we have brought you on average 20 different productions per month, all from different creators, many of whom you'll hear on this message.  So please listen to their greetings, and keep listening to the wonderful variety of shows that will keep coming; and watch us grow as we bring even more variety, and create new productions exclusive to Moonlight! Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Season's Greetings, from all of us here at Moonlight Audio Theatre!

As a continuing feature, we'll be posting, with our usual Sunday fare, a brief teaser for the following week's line-up! Please listen, won't you, and make plans to tune in. 

WELCOME TO MUTANT COUNTY Episode 8 "Changelings, Squidtuplets, and Ra – Oh my!" was written and performed by Michael P. Thiessen and Peter Church. Special thanks to Cassie Garbutt and Esther Koepnick for the WLFC studio jingle.

Lost Tycho Brahe and Mrs. Longfellow 1985 TV Pilot Tycho Brahe & Mrs. Longfellow (1985) — "They're in love. With each other. And with danger." Rumble Falls is the kind of sleepy mining town where the neon flickers, the saxophone never sleeps, and somebody is always "accidentally" falling into a shaft. Into this glitter-dusted grit strolls a most 80s power-couple: Tycho Brahe—yes, the 16th-century Danish astronomer with the polished brass nose—reborn by unexplained TV science and forever quoting the heavens, and Mrs. Longfellow—cocktail-wielding socialite, magazine maven, and problem-solver who can spot a murder motive faster than she can finish a bourbon. Think Hart to Hart chemistry, Simon & Simon stakeouts, and Murder, She Wrote coincidence—all poured over crushed ice and served with a cheeky umbrella.   The unaired two-hour pilot drops our lovers into "A Case of Miss Dynamite," where a pageant queen goes boom, a mayor sweats rosewater, and a foreman insists a lit stick of dynamite is a "romance candle." Crane shots you can practically hear, freeze-frame laughs you can definitely feel, and a theme song that says "lighthearted crime show" before the first commercial bumper. Tycho charts trajectories and blood spatter like star maps; Mrs. Longfellow reads people like a society page. The clues point left-handed, the alibis go right out the window, and every time Tycho's about to solve it, she solves him instead. Do they crack the case? Eventually. Do they sizzle? Constantly. (Cue the rim-lit promo still, police tape just out of focus, and a jet that keeps "turning around" for one more kiss.)   In true 80s fashion, the town's brass can't stand them, the townsfolk adore them, and the captions were supposed to explain everything… not that anyone read those during the key change. The result is a gloriously anachronistic, neon-noir valentine to prime-time sleuthing: part telescope, part tumbler, all chemistry.  Credits (1985 pilot) ·         Written & Directed by Tom Konkle ·         Produced by Tom Konkle and Kurtis Bedford (Mindstream Audio) ·         Stephanie Dulli … Mrs. Longfellow ·         Tom Konkle … Tycho Brahe ·         Jude Gerard Prest … Mayor Gribbons ·         Kurtis Bedford … Lt. Hassellhoff ·         Jill Manglione … Darla / Barmaid ·         David Beeler … Foreman Steve ·         Andy Hartson-Bowyer … Narrator   (Never aired. Cult status inevitable.)

For their 75th episode, Project Audion founder Larry Groebe decided to gather some folks together to talk ABOUT the medium. Especially because right now Artificial Intelligence is on so many people's minds - and it promises to impact audio storytelling like it's impacting so many other things.  We brought together eight very opinionated folks, plus one AI chatbot, so that you can "Meet The Creators." It's a panel discussion with some of best, longest-running modern radio-drama creators in North America -- one to get you thinking, starting from a wide-ranging and subtle discussion on what we should even call the medium. We also consider why we even find value in creating new audio fiction in the 21st century. What's the point in revisiting and continuing this old storytelling art form?  The 45-minute discussion was at various times lively, nostalgic, angry, funny, feisty, thoughtful, enthusiastic, even emotional. Our panelists ranged from coast to coast and both America and Canada. As Artificial Intelligence seems to be replacing human efforts in so many different aspects of life, how should we define the roles of both people and AI in creating twenty-first century audio-based stories. Not a fictional story this month -- but the story of why we make audio drama is well worth hearing...

PROJECT AUDION 74: Eno Crime Clues In the Spirit of the Spooky Season, Project Audion goes back 90 years for our latest recreation! From the early days of the classic era of audio drama, we're bringing to life a unique ghost-story/murder-mystery episode of a radio series which is now so forgotten that it might well be a ghost: Eno Crime Clues. Mind you, in the early 1930s Eno Crime Clues was a major radio hit, airing hundred of episodes about detective Spencer Dean (known as "The Manhunter") and his partner, Dan Cassidy. Eno "Fruit Salts" (which are still around today) was the sponsor. Many of the shows were two-parters, with the audience invited to guess the killer at the end of the first episode. But this particular lost script from 1936 (late in the series' run) took the show in a new direction. You know how Orson Welles' War of the Worlds made such an impact by making the story sound like a genuine on-the-spot broadcast? Turns out he wasn't the first. This Crime Clues episode tried the same trick over two years earlier, using a real location, the show's genuine announcer and director, and a remote broadcast which -- well, you'll just have to listen...
