All the best to you and yours from the Middlebury Radio Theater of Thrills and Suspense. We hoped you enjoyed Season 3.0. The show returns in January for our J-Term Spectacular, and in February tune in for the epic, and, for some of us, final, season 3.5. What you can expect:
- monsters!
- airplanes!
- brain-meltingly good sound effects!
- North by Northwest! We promise!
- at least one script that takes place…in space!
- at least one script that takes place in space…with Nazis!
- and, of course, the triumphant return of American expatriate writer, Stefan Claypool!
Until then, gorge yourself on our podcast! Simply click the “Listen” tab above! Delicious!
Derek Long reads the credits for our Holiday Special. Corrections: In A Christmas Carol, Lilli Stein played the Ghost of Christmas Present (not Future) and Kofi Appiah was the sound engineer.

Please note that the site was down when I wrote and tried to post this, therefore it is written from the appropriately sleepy 1:24 AM POV in which one has still only recently experienced the related events.
Our fourth semester of broadcast and podcast is complete! For some of us, that also means that our final fall semester at Middlebury comes to a close, but the beauty of our radio world is that we can ignore the depressing or scary parts and focus on the fact that, yes, we had another great season. And it was a great season!

Tune into WRMC 91.1 FM this Saturday, December 8, 2007, to hear the annual Mr|Tots Christmas Spectacular! Last year, we brought you The Adventures of Skip Murphy & Duke Fowler: Nazi Hunters in “O Tannenbaum of Despair” and an adaptation of the Christmas classic It’s A Wonderful Life. This year, we’re going to up the ante by bringing you our rendition of Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol, starring Dan Murphy as Scrooge. Then, stay tuned for an exciting Mr|Tots original feature – Chris Kringle: Soldier of Fortune, starring Nick Smith in the role he was born to play. The show begins at 7:00 PM Eastern Time, and is guaranteed to fill you with warm holiday goodness. Tune in this Saturday!

That way, I would have been a lot more likely to write this up immediately, and thereby give all Gracious Readers the benefits of fresh experience and moderate exhaustion. Hopefully everyone is as willing to take what they can get as I am to give what I am able.
Anyway! This week’s show marked the end of our “regular season” (next week’s holiday-themed broadcast is technically… well… something we’re just doing because we want to, and shows in January are of the same mold), the season finale of “Brookshale,” and the first broadcast back from a break. Add to that a devilishly long script and some impromptu adjustments and addenda, and you’ve got the first show in a while that had everyone focused the entirety of the time we spend in the studio before we actually go on the air.
