Description: The mp3ater Project is an experiment in audio theater, including remakes of old-time radio shows and new adaptations written especially for the podcasting medium. Genres include comedy, drama, mystery, and thriller. The project began in the spring of 2005 at Duke University, where the students of Professor Daniel H. Foster’s theater course, "Radio: The Theater of the Mind," produced several audio theater pieces. These pieces comprise the first efforts of an ongoing experiment in digital theater. Tune in this summer as every other Wednesday we will be releasing a new podcast.
