Since 1984, the Atlanta Radio Theatre Company has been performing, recording, and broadcasting dramatic audio -- fully dramatized, fully sound-scaped audio drama. We like to think that what we do is classic "old-time radio", as it would sound with today's technology and dramatic techniques. From our archives, we proudly present the recordings of our live performances.

A short update regarding the past, present, and future of the Centauri Express Audio Magazine

The Proper Thing To Do

July 15, 2016 16:07 - 24 minutes - 55.6 MB

First, we have increased the sampling rate for this episode and for all future episodes.  When we started this podcast 10 years ago we purposely made the decision to encode each episode a lot lower than we needed to because the ultimate goal was to help people understand what audio drama was. We weren’t exactly the only game in town, but we were one of only a few audio drama companies that we knew about and ...

The Rats in the Walls-LIVE part 4 of 4

May 13, 2016 00:00 - 15 minutes - 6.89 MB

Well, here we are. We made it. All the way through 4 parts of Lovecraftian horror and now we're...not quite ready for the Centauri Express to launch. [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="332"] Hal Wiedeman is displeased[/caption] We were so looking forward to this being the last episode of the venerable, but generically named, ARTC's Podcast. But we just can't. We can't put forth something that's less than our best effort. We just can't do that to our listeners. So we're pushing back t...

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="332"] Paige Steadman wants to know what you mean by "creepy".[/caption] So in this month's show notes, we're going to talk instead about what's com...
