Atlanta Radio Theatre Company was founded in 1984 by William Brown and Patrick Stansbury and has operated continuously ever since. Specializing in horror, science fiction, and fantasy, ARTC has a deep catalog of audio drama that is designed specifically to immerse you in the story with minimal distraction. We have adapted such renowned authors as H. P. Lovecraft, H. Beam Piper, Robert A. Heinlein, L. Neil Smith, and Terry Pratchett, among others. We also showcase a talented group of local original writers such as Kelley S. Ceccato, William Alan Ritch, Ron N. Butler, Thomas E. Fuller, Brad Strickland, Daniel Taylor, and many more.

In addition to our studio work we have performed live at a wide variety of venues on the SF/F convention circuit in the southeast region including Libertycon, 221B Con, CONpossible, Conjuration, Chattacon, Atlanta Sci Fi and Fantasy Expo, and every single Dragon Con to date.

ARTC presents, from the Dean of American Science Fiction, a story more prescient than anyone could have imagined. Before Pearl Harbor, before the war in Europe became a World War, Robert A Heinlein considered the consequences of an unrestricted arms race. He foresaw the possibility of a “cold war”, a time of tensions and uncertainty with both major powers possessing doomsday weapons – and increasingly itchy trigger fingers.

We approached the brink of nuclear war in 1962 – and stepped back. Witness now the prescience of the Dean of Science Fiction, who saw it coming in 1941. Follow a chain of events extraordinary, leading to a problem unprecedented – and a "Solution Unsatisfactory".
