A look back at eleven seasons of audio drama goodness with the gang from Decoder Ring Theatre, complete with laughs, hijinks and clips from the vault, and a look ahead at the all-new delights of Season Twelve. If you are a DRT fan, you can't miss this one!

You beat the bad guys, you save the world, you get the girl, you live happily ever after, and you can't help but think that you remember every moment of it. But what if you don't? And what will be revealed when the time comes to play Remember When?

The more things change, the more they stay the same, my friends. Except sometimes the most unimaginable changes happen under the guise of the ordinary, everyday things that pop up on a regular day. Or in this case, on Date Night.

The Red Panda's former agents get in on the game of "remember when", as they uncover a relic used in one of their very first cases. Will the Red Panda thwart a cruel scheme that is terrifying the city, or is it clear sailing for The Radio Robberies?

Sometimes a bet comes with such terrible odds that there isn't much point in placing it. Sometimes it's a sure thing, usually because someone has made it so, often by cheating on a massive scale. Those are the times that tend to kill you dead, my friends, they really are. When you can't help but win, everybody loses. Or do they?

The news scoop of today needs a little help from the mad scientist cabal of yesterday as everybody favorite associate editor reaches into the case files of a certain masked man of mystery. Will the city's new champion be scooped by a certain girl reporter? It all depends upon the Power of the Mind.

Celebrate the arbitrary milestone of seventy delightful episodes with Lord and Lady Flatfoot! Once again our intrepid heroes are thrust into a situation that falls well short of their customary bailiwick, is well and truly outside of their comfort zone and for which they are deeply, deeply unqualified. It's enough to give a person Chess Pains!

Peace and prosperity are back at long last, and the city has a new protector to help keep it that way. There's only one thing that could go wrong: the impending arrival of an armada from beyond the stars to enslave mankind. If August Fenwick is to help protect the Earth, he may need some help from the case files of his old friend in the red mask to recall the Harbinger of Doom!

There are certain things in life that feel fixed… immutable, as if they had never changed and they never would. But the world outside the window changes every day, and a great war is being fought, without a single shot being fired. In times like these, even the Northern Star can change his stripes... or something.

From the secret case files of the Red Panda, and a most unlikely source, comes the most thrilling Christmas adventure of the Terrific Twosome of Toronto's crime-fighting career. No matter how little holiday spirit you might have had, no one could resist when... 'Twas the Night Before!

It has been observed more than once that life isn't fair, even if the mass of humanity cannot possibly be as deserving of a thumb on the scales of fate as they think that they are. Still, it is just possible that from time to time the universe does conspire to heap misfortune on the narrow shoulders of one poor specimen, and turn that benighted soul into... The Born Loser!

A new era begins in the telling of the Terrific Twosome of Toronto's exploits. Join us for the first trip into heroic history as we explore the untold tale of... the Tower of Terror!

Your private detective and your fairy godmother have very different roles. Chief amongst the differences is the fact that "making your dreams come true" is not often the gumshoe's lot in life. But wouldn't it be nice if, just once, someone would do something about theirs? Even if it means that someone is a… Dead Duck?

The journey of a thousand miles began with a single step into the shadows of darkness and desperation. Will it end in a blaze of glory or the brilliance of the limelight? Is this truly The Final Problem?

Sometimes miracles happen, and sometimes they don't. And sorting out which is which and when and why can be a heckuva job for even the most hard-boiled of private eyes. Secrets and lies won't bring a sailor home from the sea... or will they?

When you've always been the life of the party, it can be hard to slip away. And when the party in question is the never-ending battle between good and evil, it can be nearly impossible. With their friends and allies taking their final bows, and with a super-powered protégée waiting in the wings, will our heroes stay for an encore, or will they take their Exit, Stage Left?

The jaunty angle at which our girl detective chooses to wear her hat does occasionally come with a price, and every once in a great while, that price encompasses something which she actually notices and just possibly cares about. It is entirely possible that this might be the story of one of those times.

Since the end of the war, the formerly allied nations have been engaged in a mad scramble to control Germany's captured mad scientists. Ever wonder what happened to the Wizards? The Red Panda and the Flying Squirrel race to stop disaster at the hands of... The Pentacle!

People have a lot to say about good intentions. Opinions vary. Some say they are the chains that bind us, some say they are the graces that separate us from the animals. But the one thing that everyone can agree on is that when you find yourself up to your knees in them, you're probably travelling The Road to Hell.

Times change so quickly, it can be difficult to keep track. Is that the youngest spotter in your crime-fighting network beside you, or is it a cub reporter, or a war hero... or has he become something different... something more? Sometimes you need another perspective to tell. Sometimes the only clue is the ringing of the Chimes at Midnight!

There's nothing worse for a bodyguard than when the body that you're guarding suddenly goes missing. Unless the body in question is thousands of years old and disinclined to travel under its own power. Then it is a little bit worse. It really is.

An electronic brain the size of a Studebaker, a mechnical titan the size of a skyscraper and a secret that is bigger than either of them. Is the most perilous problem really the Red Panda's "ghost" puzzle, or is it The Mind Of Terror?

The most powerful man in town wants Jack and Trixie off the job they're working on, and he means right now, brother. Just one problem. They're pretty unemployed, even by their standards. This is going to get socially awkward, and then possibly dead, isn't it?

Peace and prosperity has been restored, and the nation's fighting men are finding their roles in the Toronto of tomorrow. But it isn't as easy for some as it is for others. Some choose a vocation of crime, some long to cover it and one seems to have become... a Ghost.

Sometimes the problems that bring people to the grey-green doors of the mighty world headquarters of Justice and Dixon are not as big as they might imagine. Sometimes they are simple people, befuddled by a problem outside of their experience, and assuming a degree of complexity that does not otherwise exist. Those are good days. This isnt one of them.

We join them many years later, at a reunion of the band, and it seems that they can't seem to escape the influence of the Martians.

The war may be in its dying days, but the deadly secrets of one of the Red Panda's greatest enemies are still on the table. If they should fall into the wrong hands, the peace that is won may be a fate even worse than the war itself. The Terrific Twosome of Toronto will run a terrifying race against time into the depth of the Amazon jungle to find... The Brood.

We learn more about Big City’s Mightiest Champion in this superhero mockumentary.

A world at war is a chaotic thing, but the prospect of peace does little to solve it. The enemy of my enemy may be my friend, but what if that friend is one of the world's most vile monsters? What will those friendships mean to the future? And will they spell certain doom for... The Unknown Soldier?

Decoder Ring Theatre is proud to present Mark Time Show Time, a Showcase series celebrating scripts originally written for live performance by Great Northern Audio, in conjunction with the awards ceremony of the Mark Time and Ogle Awards. This Week: Peter Galaxy, Interstellar Envoy They used to be big stars on the radio, Peter Galaxy and his sidekick, Dr, Simon. Now they're just two retired actors playing cards on the front porch and riding herd over their grandchildren. But can these two old-timers find work for 300 billion illegal aliens?

Some heroes wear masks, some work shrouded in mystery and menace and others still fight the good fight against the armies of darkness. And others... others get rotated home and sent out on the Bond Drive. But even they still have a role to play, and events set the Red Panda and the Flying Squirrel in motion on the word of... The Conquering Hero!

They say that a little learning is a dangerous thing, my friends, but in all fairness, they don't usually mean the life-and-limb variety. But when a would-be writer of hard-boiled fiction hires a certain team of his and hers private detectives to help his prose ring true, he had better drink deep or think twice about the whole "Pierian spring" business.

The long game of Professor Zombie's forces is about to burst forth upon Toronto with a terrible fury. With the ranks of his allies diminished by the war, can even the Red Panda cheat death on a scale this massive? Can the city's masked marvels prevent the fall, or is the city doomed to become the capital of an... Empire of Death?

There are many days when the life of a private detective is not nearly as interesting as you might imagine. The clock ticks, the sun makes its way resolutely across the sky and not much else happens. And on other days, the door bursts open and opportunity strides in, reeking of after-shave and waving an action-packed expense account about like he owned the place. And when that happens, best buckle up, friends, 'cause this is The Big Time!

Professor Zombie's all-out war on the city continues to rage, and if Toronto's masked protectors are to have a chance of defeating her, they must begin to understand what has brought about the change in one of their oldest foes. But when the veil is lifted on some of the darkest secrets of the Allied war effort, will even the Red Panda be able to solve... The Chimera Protocol?

Is it still a Christmas Card if it comes gift-wrapped in noir and hard-boiled as a three-hour egg? Yeah, we think so too. Pour yourself an egg nog and see if Jack and Trixie make it... Home for the Holidays!

The masked protectors of Toronto celebrate 100 episodes as only they can - fighting to thwart a plot of unimaginable horror! But with Professor Zombie's rage reaching a fevered pitch, it may take the unlikeliest of team-ups to save both the city and Christmas at the same time!

A man may smile and smile and be a villain... and then disappear, leaving nothing behind but the memory of that smile. Which might not be a problem, unless his confirmation of your paper-thin story were all that stood between you and stylish prison stripes.

As Professor Zombie's scorched earth campaign against the city rages, the Red Panda fights an uphill battle to save his city from willfully choosing its own destruction. Will our heroes discover the dark secret behind this terrible plot in time, or will they lose the... Knight's Gambit?

There are only two things that are certain in this life, my friends. One is that very little is as it appears, an observation which includes but is not limited to the itemized list of expenses for which you have recently been charged. The other certainty is that it will cost you the princely sum of thirty-nine, ninety-five a day to discover item "A". Oh yeah, also Death and Taxes.

A daring crime, striking at the very heart of public trust... is it a page from the playbook of a foe thought long gone? If so, what about the lone witness, who is not quite as he seems? The horrifying truth to one of the most sinister mysteries of the Red Panda's career may lay within... The Locked Room

A little lost lamb in the big, bad city is hardly a new theme for our intrepid investigators. But with a couple of hundred pounds of strapping small-town lawman distracting the heck out of the Girl Detective, it looks like it's down to Ol' Square-Jaw to keep the Home Fires burning.

As the tides of war begin to shift in favor of the Allies, all is far from quiet on the Home Front. A new boss of bosses has taken control of the city and declared war upon the Red Panda and his allies! Can this mysterious menace be found and foiled? How can even the Terrific Twosome of Toronto hope to battle... The Phantom?
