Project Audion Episode 81: Lux Radio Theatre's "Death of a Salesman"

Jack Ward — Mon, 27 Apr 2026 07:13:00 +0000

April brings to a close Project Audion's sixth season! For our 80th production, director Pete Lutz made a fascinating choice - a 1956 Australian radio adaptation of the lauded American drama "Death of a Salesman".

"Death of a Salesman" is, of course, one of the classic America plays: the first to win both the Tony Award for Best Author, the New York Drama Circle Critics' Award, and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Arthur Miller's intense family drama might have seemed ideal material for a prestige radio adaptation, but perhaps too intense for American radio networks.

However, Australia's radio stations had no such nervousness. The Australian edition of Lux Radio Theatre adapted "Death of A Salesman" on January 29, 1956, using two of the lead actors who originally premiered it in Australia.

Dane, a spun-out musician spending the winter in Cleveland, Ohio, has two main goals: keeping his job at the Pepper Heights Zoo and trying not to waste all his time on Grindr. What he doesn’t expect is to get swept into a story about dreams, about forevers, about flickering lights, about unexplained deaths, about relentless change, and about the parts of ourselves that we wish other people knew to look for. Oh, and also a murderous zebra. With episodes one and two: "Goodnight, Esmerelda" and "The Boy & The Buck"!

Old-Time Radio Essentials Episode 55.5: 10th Anniversary of Mickey Mouse

Jack Ward — Sun, 22 Mar 2026 12:17:00 -0100

Co-hosts Pete, Paul and Patte divert from their usual format to bring you this diversion -- a standalone production from 1938 that honors Walt Disney on the 10th anniversary of the very first Mickey Mouse cartoon. Discovered by OTR aficionado John Tefteller in his vast collection of acetate (and other) recordings, he released it on Thanksgiving Day 2025 on his own podcast, The Good Old Days of Radio, thus letting listeners hear it for the first time (probably) since its first release 88 years ago. Mr. Tefteller has graciously allowed us to re-re-release it, since our listeners and his likely follow parallel lines, thus allowing more folks to enjoy it.

The three co-hosts are not judging it by their usual criteria (see previous episodes), merely bringing it to you for your entertainment.

Project Audion Episode 80: Dragnet & Hairnet

Jack Ward — Sun, 15 Mar 2026 20:02:00 -0100

Project Audion is back with just the facts, ma'am: DRAGNET is one of the few programs from the classic age of radio drama which is still recognized by all ages today - for the iconic four-note theme, at least. But even Dragnet didn't hit the airwaves right away in its fully-realized familiar form. Episode #1, which aired on June 3, 1949, survives only via a script, not a recording. And that script reveals a compelling cop show, but one which doesn't quite match our memories of Jack Webb's LAPD detective, memories formed from years of radio, television, and movie versions.

All of which makes Project Audion's new reconstruction of that very first episode such a fascinating show to listen to. Even the Dragnet theme isn't there! But Sergeant Joe Friday is, along with his partner Ben, as well as the true-life crime stories where "only the names have been changed - to protect the innocent." Tune in to catch this lost Dragnet episode.

But wait -- there's more! (as they used to say on the commercials accompanying Dragnet TV reruns). R. L. Mills, that senior scriptwriting scribe and storyteller from the days of Bob Hope, has penned a parody of Dragnet called "Hairnet" - and THAT plays back right AFTER our lost premiere. The same cast is heard (and seen) in both shows...only of the parts were changed, to protect the actors. Double Dragnets were a fun challenge - and that's a fact.

Temple of Vampires: Showcase Special!

Jack Ward — Sun, 15 Mar 2026 20:00:00 -0100

From the shadows of the jungle comes a mystery older than civilization itself! Temple of Vampires is a cooperative recreation of the classic adventure from Carlton E. Morse’s legendary radio series I Love a Mystery, newly produced for the Mutual Audio Network by Sonic Cinema Productions and The Amigos Collective. In this thrilling opening double-feature, Jack, Doc, and Reggie travel deep into South America in search of a mysterious stone temple rumored to hold an ancient terror—one whispered about in fearful tones by the locals: vampires. As danger closes in from the jungle and the secrets of the temple begin to emerge, our heroes must decide whether the legend is merely superstition… or something far more deadly.

The production stars Jeff Billard as Jack, Lothar Tuppan as Reggie, Jack Ward as Doc, and Angela Young as Sunny, with John Bell, Jan Didur, and introducing Austin Mosher as Hermie. David Ault is your Announcer, with Sharon Bee on the organ. Post-production by Michael Messner, with script updates and direction by Jack J. Ward.

While completing college, Rod Serling submitted a script about a boxer who was facing the fight of his life - titled "To Live a Dream." Entered into the annual Dr. Christian scriptwriting contest, it came in second place, and gave Serling his first income from writing, his first national broadcast...and was a first step of Rod Serling's own dream. It's a surprisingly polished and intense first step, at that!

Project Audion Episode 78: Special to Hollywood

Jack Ward — Sun, 11 Jan 2026 09:02:00 -0100

Project Audion is back with another powerful show! Arch Oboler was one of radio's most accomplished writer/producers. Although he may be best known for his creepy horror scripts, he cared deeply about the human condition and regularly tackled weighty topics. "Special To Hollywood" was an indictment of the vacuousness of Hollywood celebrity, told in a sort of proto-"Twilight Zone" form. The story was performed on three occasions, and the 1945 script (from the series "Arch Oboler's Plays") became the core of Project Audion's second-ever show back in 2020. Six years later, we've gone back to our old Zoom files, remixed them and added fresh visuals, because - well, just because it's a yarn that's worth re-hearing with a message that is still relevant today.

Project Audion Christmas Bonus #2: "A Christmas Carol"

Jack Ward — Sun, 28 Dec 2025 09:05:00 -0100

Project Audion presents a special Christmas audio drama recorded before a live audience at the Grapevine (TX) Public Library on December 14, 2025 as part of "Christmas On The Air."

This half hour recreates a "A Christmas Carol" as it was traditionally heard on on the radio networks in the days before television. For nearly two decades spread across across the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, actor Lionel Barrymore definitively portrayed Ebenezer Scrooge for eager American radio listeners. We recreated his 1949 production with a full cast, right down to Tiny Tim, plus music and live sound effects. It's the voices of Christmas past, here as your Christmas present.

Project Audion Christmas Bonus #1: "The Men From the Ministry”

Jack Ward — Sun, 28 Dec 2025 09:04:00 -0100

Project Audion presents a special Christmas audio comedy recorded before a live audience at the Grapevine (TX) Public Library on December 14, 2025 as part of "Christmas On The Air."

This show recreates a special Christmas episode of a beloved British radio sitcom, "The Men From the Ministry” which was extremely popular during the 1960s and 1970s (and still re-run today). The show satirized governmental bureaucracy, but it only aired a single Christmas episode, in December 1964. That recording was subsequently lost or wiped, sao Project Audion, performing from the delightfully funny original script, is bringing back to life something which NO ONE has heard in over 60 years! Listen as two bumbling bureaucrats attempt to spread a little Christmas cheer with their plans to deliver "A Present for Norman."

Lost Tycho Brahe and Mrs. Longfellow 1985

Jack Ward — Sun, 28 Dec 2025 09:03:00 -0100

Rumble Falls is the kind of sleepy mining town where the neon flickers, the saxophone never sleeps, and somebody is always “accidentally” falling into a shaft. Into this glitter-dusted grit strolls a most 80s power-couple: Tycho Brahe—yes, the 16th-century Danish astronomer with the polished brass nose—reborn by unexplained TV science and forever quoting the heavens, and Mrs. Longfellow—cocktail-wielding socialite, magazine maven, and problem-solver who can spot a murder motive faster than she can finish a bourbon. Think Hart to Hart chemistry, Simon & Simon stakeouts, and Murder, She Wrote coincidence—all poured over crushed ice and served with a cheeky umbrella.

The unaired two-hour pilot drops our lovers into “A Case of Miss Dynamite,” where a pageant queen goes boom, a mayor sweats rosewater, and a foreman insists a lit stick of dynamite is a “romance candle.” Crane shots you can practically hear, freeze-frame laughs you can definitely feel, and a theme song that says “lighthearted crime show” before the first commercial bumper. Tycho charts trajectories and blood spatter like star maps; Mrs. Longfellow reads people like a society page. The clues point left-handed, the alibis go right out the window, and every time Tycho’s about to solve it, she solves him instead. Do they crack the case? Eventually. Do they sizzle? Constantly. (Cue the rim-lit promo still, police tape just out of focus, and a jet that keeps “turning around” for one more kiss.)

In true 80s fashion, the town’s brass can’t stand them, the townsfolk adore them, and the captions were supposed to explain everything… not that anyone read those during the key change. The result is a gloriously anachronistic, neon-noir valentine to prime-time sleuthing: part telescope, part tumbler, all chemistry.

Project Audion Episode 77: Bob Hope Christmas Special

Jack Ward — Sun, 14 Dec 2025 14:02:00 -0100

Project Audion is back with Bob Hope who was one of the 20th century's greatest entertainers: in vaudeville and movies, and especially his radio (and later TV) comedies, so often performed in front of appreciative US servicemen, kept America smiling for better than six decades. He became an icon of American humor, and it is a special task to bring the Hope style back to life. But now Project Audion premieres a "new" 1940s-era Bob Hope radio show, thanks to the pen of former Hope writer Robert L. Mills, the vocal wizardry of Bill Johnson, and Project Audion's versatile voice actors. In this new Christmas creation, Bob's guest star is Lana Turner, who joins him to spoof the classic movie "Double Indemnity." It's a show to make you smile!

Project Audion Episode 76: Meet The Creators

Jack Ward — Sun, 16 Nov 2025 14:48:00 -0100

This Friday, for our 75th episode, I thought we'd gather some folks together to talk ABOUT the medium. Especially because right now Artificial Intelligence is on so many people's minds - and it promises to impact audio storytelling like it's impacting so many other things.

We brought together eight very opinionated folks, plus one AI chatbot, so that you can "Meet The Creators." It's a panel discussion with some of best, longest-running modern radio-drama creators in North America -- one to get you thinking, starting from a wide-ranging and subtle discussion on what we should even call the medium. We also consider why we even find value in creating new audio fiction in the 21st century. What's the point in revisiting and continuing this old storytelling art form?

The 45-minute discussion was at different times lively, nostalgic, angry, funny, feisty, thoughtful, enthusiastic, even emotional. Our panelists ranged from coast to coast and both America and Canada. As Artificial Intelligence seems to be replacing human efforts in so many different aspects of life, how should we define the roles of both people and AI in creating twenty-first century audio-based stories. Not a fictional story this month -- but the story of why we make audio drama is well worth hearing...

Classic Sonic Society #28: Western Shenanigans

Jack Ward — Sun, 28 Sep 2025 15:00:00 +0000

Have you noticed that recently Westerns are making a bit of a comeback? I'm not speaking directly about the most recent Oscar buzz of "Brokeback Mountain", but rather the successes of shows like Colonial Radio Theatre's "Powder River" which is getting rave reviews and thunderous applause from all quarters. XM Satellite radio can't seem to get enough Powder River, and Jerry Robbins is now working on season three of the hit series. On televsion, even science fiction takes a turn moseying along with the "wagon trains of the stars". Gene Roddenberry claimed to sell Star Trek in the 60's with that phrase, and Joss Whedon's pre-empted triumph "Firefly" along with its followup movie "Serenity" leans heavily on that age of old west. While I'm well aware that genres weave in and out of popularity, I'm more interested in why cycles occur rather than suggesting that they somehow have a regular pattern- if they did, wouldn't it have been time for a big 30's pulp movie like Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow? How long has it been since we've had a new renaissance in that genre?

I think there's something about the world we live in today, and the values that the Old West represented- simplicity, even a clearer sense of what's right and what's wrong. In today's complex society, there's a real yearning for a tangible way to make a better life.

Later we'll finish our interview with Schlock Audio's Bruce Humphries, and end this meeting with a little... Wasted Tape.

Mutual Presents: Sunday Showcase- Crime Club #6.18

Jack Ward — Sun, 14 Sep 2025 09:03:00 +0000

We're back to Sunday Showcase's Mutual Presents as we introduce another favourite from the Mutual Broadcasting System, our spiritual forefather to the Mutual Audio Network- Welcome to "The Crime Club"! The Crime Club aired on the Mutual Broadcasting System as a half-hour weekly radio series, beginning on December 2, 1946 and continuing until October 16, 1947, a run of 47 episodes. It aired on Mondays at 8 p.m. through December and then on Thursdays at 10 p.m. It was also heard on Wednesdays and Sundays on some stations.

Each installment was introduced by the series host, The Librarian, portrayed by Barry Thomson and Raymond Edward Johnson (who was perhaps better known as the host of Inner Sanctum Mysteries). The series featured murder and mystery dramas, some of which had already been published by the Doubleday Crime Club. A new Crime Club book was made available to the public each week and distributed though local newsstands and bookstores.

Each show in the series began the same way. The telephone rings and the Librarian answers "Hello, I hope I haven't kept you waiting. Yes, this is the Crime Club. I'm the Librarian. (name of the program)? Yes, we have that Crime Club story for you. Come right over. (The organist plays a creepy tune). The doorbell chimes. "Ah you're here. Good. Take the easy chair by the window. Comfortable? The book is on this shelf." (The organist plays a scary chord). Here it is - (name of the program, the author and a very brief summary). "Let's look at it under the reading lamp." The Librarian begins reading the prologue for the tale, and another Crime Club offering begins.

This week we start things off with "Death Blew Out the Match" and "Mr. Smith's Hat"!

Project Audion Episode 74: Gunsmoke

Jack Ward — Sun, 14 Sep 2025 09:02:00 +0000

A terrific premiere is here! A lost episode from one of the greatest audio dramas to come from Radio's Golden Age -- "Gunsmoke." Gunsmoke is the show that single-handedly created the "adult western" series drama genre...the show that moved the genre from the kid-centered "Lone Ranger" into darker, more mature themes... the show that ran for 10 years and nearly 500 radio episodes, and 20 years and 600 more chapters on television.

A handful of Gunsmoke audio recordings have been lost for seven decades, and Project Audion is recreating one of those missing episodes - in fact, Gunsmoke's second-ever show from May 3, 1952. Only the first seven minutes of the show survive as a recording, so this will be the first opportunity to hear this great early episode in 73 years! Tune in when our cross-country cast brings Marshall Matt Dillon, Doc Adams, Chester and others back to life in our live Zoom recording of Gunsmoke, a dark drama entitled "Ben Thompson."

Project Audion Episode 73: The Jimmy Durante Show

Jack Ward — Sun, 24 Aug 2025 09:02:00 +0000

Summertime is a good time for lighter fare...August brings us a variety show that is super-fun and super-easy to listen to -- "The Camel Comedy Caravan with Garry Moore and Jimmy Durante." (whew - just call it the Jimmy Durante Show)

Remember Jimmy Durante? A fellow so famous for so many decades that just a caricature of his face was once enough to elicit a smile. His outsized "Schnozz" matched the outsized personality from the 1920s through the 1970s. You know him, even if you think you don't -- because even today his catchphrases and songs have endured. You can hear Durante singing in the "Joker" movie of 2019, imitated in the "Lion King," and showing up every year in beloved animated Christmas specials.

So for this Audion Original, Pete Lutz decided to revisit this unique talent, imagining a fresh 1940s episode of the Comedy Caravan with on-air partner Garry Moore, plus guest stars Sydney Greenstreet and Rose Marie. It's a half-hour of the kind of variety show that radio did so well. "Everyone wants ta' get inta de act!" and they do for a marvelous half hour of mirth and music...

Sonic Summerstock Playhouse 16.7- Sam Spade Parody: Stan Slade Detective: The Burmese Penguin Caper

Jack Ward — Sun, 17 Aug 2025 12:53:00 +0000

In our encore performance from Project Audion this season, Larry Groebe returns again to ask what do you do if you grew up listening the classic dramatic series on the radio, then found a career writing TV comedy for Bob Hope, and now, decades later, you still harbor fond feelings about those radio shows of your youth? Well, if you're Robert L. Mills, you write shows like the one you're about to hear. It's a takeoff of a certain famous detective whose name sounds awfully similar to OUR show's hero, named Stan Slade. The original "Adventures of Sam Spade" was broadcast in the late 1940s and early '50s. It starred Howard Duff as the detective created by Dashiell Hammett. It was a fun show that never took itself entirely seriously. Mr Mills has nudged his tribute a little further into the toungue-in-cheek -- or should I say toungue in beak? -territory, reuniting the detective with his old adversaries from the Maltese Falcon movie, Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre. Everyone in our cast gets to have some fun with this adventure of Stan Slade, Detective, entitled "The Burmese Penguin Caper".

Sonic Summerstock Playhouse 16.4- Sergeant Preston of the Yukon!

Jack Ward — Sun, 27 Jul 2025 09:01:00 +0000

Sonic Summerstock returns with the incredible Larry Groebe and Project Audio and a very special performance!

"Sergeant Preston of the Yukon" (actually called "The Challenge of the Yukon" for most of its 16 years on the radio) was one of the greatest juvenile adventure radio series ever - part of a trinity of kids' shows that originated from Station WXYZ in Detroit. (The others were "The Green Hornet" and "The Lone Ranger".) It chronicled the never-ending adventure of the noble Mountie and his wonder dog Yukon King, maintaining law and order in the wilds of the frozen Northwest.

While there are nearly 700 surviving recordings of this classic show, Project Audion located a MISSING episode's script that originally aired on May 25, 1955 -- just two weeks before show ended its run. What's more, we are delighted to feature 94-year-old Chuck Daugherty, who was actually heard in some of the original Preston series episodes during his time at WXYZ over 70 years ago. He's part of a terrifically talented coast-to-coast cast for this exciting episode with original commercials for Quaker cereals.

The final blast from "Realm" Jack and David find "The Shadow Files of Morgan Knox". Morgan Knox can see the Darkness coming...but that may not be enough to stop it from destroying the world. In 1930’s Manhattan, a Latina private detective is posthumously hired by a man hoping to solve his own murder. Morgan Knox is just the right investigator for the job: ever since her experience in World War I left her with the ability to see paranormal phenomena, she’s had one foot in the shadows and another in the real world. As the case leads her through the city, Knox battles more forces beyond human sight: corruption, greed, and temptation have taken Manhattan by storm, and if she isn’t careful, she could be the Darkness’ next victim. The Shadow Files of Morgan Knox is a Realm production written by K Arsenault Rivera, Brooke Bolander, Gabino Iglesias, and Sunny Moraine. This week we take a look back the first feature: "The Book Collector"!

Project Audion Episode 70: The Great Gildersleeve

Jack Ward — Sun, 15 Jun 2025 14:18:00 +0000

To kick off summertime listening, Project Audion's June offering is a brand-new episode of "The Great Gildersleeve." What makes this one of the great radio comedies? Well, historically, it was the first-ever spinoff series, and its classic sitcom characters were more deeply and warmly drawn than its parent show "Fibber and McGee and Molly," but no less funny.

Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve was the unforgettably blustery Water Commissioner of Summerfield, portrayed with a famous laugh full of innuendo by Hal Peary (and later Willard Waterman). Gildy's interactions with his nephew Leroy and niece Marjorie; friends like Judge Hooker, Peavey the druggist, and Floyd the barber; and his romantic entanglements with Leila Ransom's and others delivered laughs every week. All the regulars are here in this new script penned by Robert L. Mills and recreated by some of Audion's most talented voices

Jack Ward — Sun, 01 Jun 2025 17:50:00 +0000

Pulling themselves away from an Actual Play, David and Jack find themselves drawn into the horror zone of the Audioverse with Beatrix Greene. Written by New York Times bestselling author Rachel Hawkins, this historical horror story traps a group of sleuths in a haunted house desperate to escape the wrath of a vengeful ghost. Beatrix Greene makes her living by playing pretend. She knows the seances she conducts are fake, but financial freedom for a single woman in Victorian England is hard to come by. So when notorious scientist James Walker makes her a proposition—prove that ghosts are real, once and for all, for a hefty price—she can’t resist the temptation. But the ghosts of Ashbury Manor are very real, indeed, and when Beatrix summons one by accident, she and the other guests of the evening are terrified but find the doors of the manor won’t allow escape. Only unraveling secrets from the Manor’s past will banish the ghost for good. Beatrix Greene is a Realm production, written by Rachel Hawkins, Ash Parsons, and Vicky Alvear Shecter!

Project Audion Episode 69: SUSPENSE!

Jack Ward — Sun, 11 May 2025 14:51:00 +0000

To celebrate Project Audion's sixth season, Larry Groebe is once again returning to that all-time classic audio drama, Suspense. Audion's very first episode was a recreation of a lost episode of SUSPENSE - and each year Audion returns to that classic series. With the help of Dr. Joseph Webb, it's a script from one of the very few lost episodes of the show!

This episode, titled "Deadline," was originally broadcast in June 1950 with Broderick Crawford. No recording has been located, but it's a powerhouse story of a newspaper editor whose fast-breaking stories on the Chicago underworld increase his paper's circulation beyond his wildest dreams... but which may also prove to be the stuff of nightmares. This is one terrific show - in script, acting, and production - that is indeed a tale "well-calculated to keep you in..." SUSPENSE!

Project Audion Episode 68: The Wayfaring Men

Jack Ward — Sun, 13 Apr 2025 18:56:00 +0000

Larry Groebe wanted to do a "very special episode" for the finale of the fifth season. Starting with recreating what is not only a lost episode, but an entirely lost show from some of the earliest days of network radio. "Wayfaring Men" is pretty much an unknown, undocumented show... a dramatic 1933 summer serial from CBS about the lives of the hoboes, tramps, and bums who were so numerous during the Great Depression. Not a single recording of the show exists, and there's almost no background information either, but Project Audion came upon a handful of the original mimeographed scripts, and has selected an episode dated June 26 1933 to bring back to life.

Project Audion Episode 67: Our Miss Brooks

Jack Ward — Sun, 30 Mar 2025 08:02:00 +0000

Project Audion presents the delightful mid-century classic sitcom "Our Miss Brooks." Back in the 1950s, the character of Connie Brooks was everyone’s favorite high school English teacher - sassy and smart, but starry-eyed in her unrequited desire for biology teacher Mr. Boyton. Actress Eve Arden’s portrayal was so iconic she made the jump to television four years after the radio version launched in 1948 - and even filmed a movie adaptation in 1956. (Me, I remember her from endless TV reruns.)

Robert L. Mills, writer for Bob Hope, has crafted a fresh episode of the show just for Project Audion that matches the original radio episodes, laugh for laugh. We had a great time recording this one, and you'll have a great time listening to it!

Re-Imagined Radio: Chaste Kiss & Chrysalis

Jack Ward — Sun, 16 Mar 2025 11:25:00 -0100

The February 2025 episode of Re-Imagined Radio is "Chaste Kiss & Chrysalis." It samples two audio dramas by award-winning Canadian writer, producer, and director Jack Jamie Ward. February is the month of love, and Valentine's Day. Both of Ward's audio dramas are edgy love stories in the style of Golden Age of Radio science fiction. "A Chaste Kiss Goodbye" considers love between humans and purpose-built companion robots. Ward's "Chrysalis" is a revisioning of the classic audio drama "The War of the Worlds" as a layered love story, for aliens, humans, and machines.

Project Audion Episode 66: The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

Jack Ward — Sun, 16 Feb 2025 09:03:00 -0100

Project Audion brings you "The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes," recreating an episode which has remained unheard for eighty years. There's no more famous detective, real or imagined, than Holmes. His creator, Arthur Conan Doyle, pretty much defined the mystery-detective story, and 138 years later Holmes and Watson are still part of popular culture. In 1945, Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce portrayed them weekly on the Mutual Radio network. Our selected script (which aired only once, on January 15, 1945) "The Curse of Doctor Anselmo," carries its own mystery - the secret identity of the man who co-wrote it pseudonymously. Will you discover whodunnit? Will Holmes fall under Anselmo's curse? Will the Petri family take the time to bring you good wine? All will be revealed in this delightful half hour audio drama, faithful to the original series' sound and spirit.

Project Audion Episode 64: “The Three Wise Guys”

Jack Ward — Sun, 29 Dec 2024 09:02:00 -0100

Project Audion’s Christmas gift this year is a lost episode of the classic detective drama "The Adventures of Philip Marlowe" with a holiday theme! Because Audion's previous Philip Marlowe restoration became its most popular episode ever, we returned to our archives to unearth a Marlowe script which hasn't been performed or heard since December 19, 1948 -- "The Three Wise Guys." "The Adventures of Philip Marlowe" ran for three years on network radio, with new noir-ish tales from author Raymond Chandler's detective. In this episode, it was the night before Christmas and (as Marlowe says) "a sweet girl was in trouble. But that didn't mean a thing to the second-story man, the four-flusher in spats, and the ex-Chicago cabbie -- until, one way or the other, they all got into the spirit of the thing..."

Project Audion Episode 60: Pride and Prejudice

Jack Ward — Sun, 22 Sep 2024 09:03:00 +0000

Project Audion has been on a bit of a tear lately, and we have another show for you already! Yup, this Friday, September 13, Audion premieres our recreation of the classic romantic comedy, "Pride and Prejudice" as delightfully condensed for the CBS radio network series "Romance" in the 1940s.

The Columbia network brought its listeners "Romance" for fourteen years beginning in 1943. The series was an anthology of half-hour love stories both classic and new, serious and comic. You'd think a novel like Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" would be a particular challenge to reduce to a mere half-hour, but "Romance" captured the core of the tale in a briskly-moving, nicely-entertaining adaptation that was performed several times between 1943 and 1947. The existing vintage recordings sound muddy and are not always well-cast, so it seemed an ideal candidate for Project Audion to recreate.

Time to celebrate the winding down of summer... For this Labor Day weekend, Project Audion drops a BONUS episode! The Phil Harris/ Alice Faye show returns with a new Audion original episode this Friday, August 30 at 9 PM!

In terms of sheer fun and laughter during radio's classic mid-century era, it's hard to beat the Phil Harris/Alice Faye show. A spinoff from Jack Benny, bandleader Phil Harris and his family found themselves in classic sitcom predicaments week after week. Now, Robert L. Mills, former writer for Bob Hope, has created another fresh script that brings all those characters -- including Frankie Remley, Julius, brother Willie, your friendly Rexall druggist and others -- back to life.

Project Audion's talented voice actors came together live with a virtual studio audience to create a delightful - and delightfully accurate - recreation of a radio comedy classic.

Project Audion Episode 58: Matinee with Bob and Ray

Jack Ward — Sun, 25 Aug 2024 09:02:00 +0000

Fresh from the Sonic Summerstock Playhouse, Project Audion is back and this time with "Matinee with Bob and Ray" is a enjoyable half-hour of fun emulating the cult radio comedy duo of Bob & Ray. For those who are NOT intimately familiar with Biff Burns, or Komodo dragons, or the Slow Talkers of America, I'll tell you that Bob Elliott and Ray Goulding were brought together (legend has it) by accident, in the mid-1940s when a baseball game broadcast was rained out and these two young men went on the air to fill time ad-libbing. That began a five-decade comedy partnership that eventually put them on every radio network, on TV, films, and even Broadway. Their wit and deadpan characters influenced many later funnymen, among them Bob Newhart, David Letterman, Jay Leno and others.

Bob & Ray also influenced Pete Lutz. And he wrote for us this new half-hour of absurdly satiric sketches that brings the droll style of "The Two and Only" back to life in a new "Matinee with Bob & Ray!" Nothing heavy here - just summer fun with this Audion Original. Oh, and also -- after 58 episodes, it features our first LIVE organ accompaniment! Here are the fellows in action --

Sonic Summerstock Playhouse 15.5- Philip Marlowe

Jack Ward — Sun, 04 Aug 2024 09:01:00 +0000

In the long lineup of fictional hard-boiled detectives, Philip Marlowe stands out as one of the earliest and best. Raymond Chandler's creation first reached print in the early 1930s, then went on to memorable adaptations in film, television, and of course radio. "The Adventures of Philip Marlowe" had a solid four-year run of well over 100 episodes on CBS. Still, a handful of recordings are lost today.

Now Project Audion recreates one of these missing episodes - "The Quiet Number" - directly from the original script, exactly seventy-five years after it was broadcast. "The Quiet Number" wasn't penned by Chandler, but we meet the son of the man who wrote this and most of Marlowe's other radio adventures. Then our transcontinental voice cast performs this gritty story of lost love in a hot Los Angeles summer via a live transcription that sounds just like 1949. Our versatile voice actors were:

Andy Hartson-bowyer in Virginia

Richard Durrington in Idaho

Gary Layton in Texas

Lothar Tuppan in California

Kristen James in Nevada

Holly Adams in New York

Kyle Bonn in Oregon

Larry Groebe produced and directed from Texas

This week we're thrilled to welcome back The Narada Radio Company as they return for their ninth year of Sonic Summerstock Old-Time Radio re-creations!

It's not a lost episode, but the only existing copy of the original is so badly damaged that it is barely audible. Director Pete Lutz hopes this remake comes close to creator Wyllis Cooper's original vision the story of a man who reaches out to an old friend to get the answers to some pretty pertinent questions.

Project Audion Episode 56: The Jack Benny Program: The Man Who Knew Too Much

Jack Ward — Sun, 16 Jun 2024 09:03:00 +0000

Project Audion once again brings you laughs, with an all-new original episode of the Jack Benny Program sponsored by Lucky Strike cigarettes. This Audion Original was written for us by former Bob Hope staff writer Robert L. Mills. Jack Benny was his childhood comedy inspiration, and once again Mr. Mills has recreated that classic Benny style and humor so faithfully it's like discovering a lost episode!

This week, Jack has snagged Jimmy Stewart as his guest star, so the Benny gang (Mary Livingston, Dennis Day, Phil Harris, Mel Blanc, and the rest) can stage their send-up of the Alfred Hitchcock film "The Man Who Knew Too Much." Also, after a trying violin lesson with Professor LeBlanc, Jack faces a tax audit which requires a trip to the IRS to explain some of his more mysterious deductions. Performing live in our virtual Zoom studio, our coast-to-coast cast and crew once again capture the sound of the Benny show right down to the studio audience. Tune in and join in the laughter!

Project Audion Episode 55: Suspense- "The Life of Nellie James"

Jack Ward — Sun, 12 May 2024 09:03:00 +0000

Project Audion starts the fifth season. They've had steady growth since those first COVID-era productions - in the quality of the performances and productions, in the size of our casting pool, and in the audience as well, fortunately! In fact, last month's episode -"The Man Called X" - has already become their second-most-popular dramatic production ever. This week, Suspense is one of classic radio's most highly-regarded dramas -- with good reason. It sustained a remarkably high quality level of dramatic tension for 20 years, as the many surviving recordings attest. You'll hear Suspense in its earliest form, straight from the original 1942 script. A dreadful murder takes place in the Simon James home, and justice is done ...or is it? It's a tale well-calculated to keep you in ...Suspense! Nothing less than one of the fabled "lost dozen" Suspense episodes - in fact, this script was intended to be the VERY FIRST Suspense episode ever. "The Life of Nellie James" was heard just once, live, on July 1, 1942 as Suspense's third-ever episode, and then never heard again. Until now!

Project Audion Episode 54: The Man Called X

Jack Ward — Sun, 14 Apr 2024 09:02:00 +0000

Project Audion completes her 4th season with a powerful spy-thriller starring among a throng of amazing actors David Ault, Jeffrey Billard and Jack Ward from our Mutual family! Start with a suave man of mystery, sprinkle in some far-off exotic locales, and stir in some evil enemies of democracy and beautiful women. Unflappable British actor Herbert Marshall played American agent Ken Thurston, AKA the Man Called X in this series which broadcast several hundred episodes on network radio from 1944 through 1952.

The debut episode of July 10, 1944 is lost -- except for a script in the SPERDVAC archives. The action of "The Cage of Europe" is set in wartime Lisbon! With grateful thanks to producer Larry Groebe!

Project Audion Episode 53: Jack Benny- "Witness for the Prosecution"

Jack Ward — Sun, 10 Mar 2024 08:02:00 -0100

Project Audion returns this time with The "Damon Runyon Theatre," a syndicated radio series from 1949 relating stories of New York's "guys and dolls" -- mobsters and dames, gamblers and frails, saints and sinners -- which newspaperman and sportswriter Damon Runyon colorfully brought to life in decades of short stories. They may have been gangsters, but they often had hearts of gold underneath - plus a unique present-tense way of speaking which has come to be known as "Runyonesque."

The Damon Runyon Theatre recorded 52 charming half-hour versions of his stories, and those got writer Casey Keller (Beakman's World, The Love Boat) wanting more. So he's written a new episode, and Project Audion brings you the world premiere of his Runyonesque tale, "Ringside Rosie." Our transcontinental cast is captured live in performance, just like they things did 1949, for a delightful story about a doll who loved boxing, and the guy who loved her.

Project Audion returns with a new thriller! The first woman executed for murder in the United States was hanged in 1778. In 1953 her shocking tale of love, hate, conspiracy, and murder was brought to life in the audition script for a new CBS radio drama series - "Crime Classics." Crime Classics was a sort of mid-century predecessor to today's true-crime podcasts. The audition episode, titled "The Crime of Bathsheba Spooner," featured some of radio's finest actors, writers, directors, and musicians. Unfortunately, this thoughtful adult true crime series only lasted a year before succumbing to the inexorable advance of television.

Sonic Society #799- Screaming into Next Year

Jack Ward — Sun, 31 Dec 2023 09:01:00 -0100

On our final show of 2023 we present the second annual edition of "The Chilling Tales of Yuletide", with a full-length adaptation of the 19th century short story, "The Screaming Skull".

After the death of his friends, Dr and Mrs Pratt, Captain Braddock takes up residence in their former home. Yet he soon becomes convinced that the skull he found in the upstairs bedroom screams every night, haunting him, and that it was the cause of Dr Pratt's death. When investigators Miller and Shaughnessy (a believer and sceptic respectively) arrive to learn more about the situation on the night before Christmas Eve, Captain Braddock explains the haunting, as well as his theory that the skull belonged to Mrs Pratt and that her husband killed her. A half-tormented man himself, Captain Braddock is erratic in his explanations and retellings, and even Shaughnessy's scepticism is slowly put to the test as the haunting of the skull begins to drag them into the tale of murder and betrayal and guilty consciences.

Based on the story by Frances Marion Crawford and adapted by Lana O'Kell.

Project Audion Episode 47: Big Story

Jack Ward — Sun, 10 Dec 2023 09:02:00 -0100

Project Audion returns with some holiday fun! Back when Newspapers were Important, newspaper reporters were heroic figures - exposing rackets and corruption, taking down the powerful and giving voice to the powerless. "The Big Story" series from audio drama's original classic era (the mid 20th century) celebrated the newspaper reporter - selecting true headlines and converting them into gripping dramas, much like Dragnet did with police.

Audion's December offering is a story set during the Christmas holiday, and while there IS an appearance by Santa Claus and a happy ending - this is a drama, pure and simple - of murder, greed, and redemption. Hmmm...maybe a Christmas theme after all!

First by reviewing radio science fiction programs leading up to Dimension X, and second by listening to "The Outer Limit," the first episode of Dimension X, and perhaps the most often broadcast radio science fiction story.

Project Audion Episode 46: The Phil Harris/Alice Faye Show

Jack Ward — Sun, 12 Nov 2023 09:02:00 -0100

Project Audion returns with some great laughs! Even if you don't recall Phil Harris, you would know his voice from Disney movies. But he was Jack Benny's radio bandleader for years, and then he and his real-life movie-star wife, Alice Faye, got their own spinoff radio series. In the late 1940s and early 1950s the Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show was a masterclass in radio comedy. Harris (charming, egotistical, smooth, Southern) and Faye ( grounded, smart, and only occasionally the movie star) were surrounded by eccentric regulars like Elliot Lewis as Phil’s band buddy Remley, and Walter Tetley as the little kid Julius - and each week the happy result could be heard in the gales of laughter from the live studio audience. Former Bob Hope comedy writer Robert L. Mills was a fan of the show growing up, and has penned a pitch-perfect recreation for our coast-to-coast Project Audion cast to recreate!

He memorably re-recorded "The Dark" in 1962 as a highly abridged adaptation for an LP called "Drop Dead" - the only version you could hear until now. But thanks to an Audion fan who obtained a copy of the original half-hour 1938 script, Project Audion is able to deliver extra thrills and chills, and leading to a climax where -- well, that would be telling, wouldn't it? Who's afraid of The Dark? You will be!

Project Audion Episode 44: The Lone Ranger #266

Jack Ward — Sun, 10 Sep 2023 09:03:00 +0000

Project Audion is back with a legend! The Lone Ranger has got to be the single most famous fictional character to come out of old time radio...every generation knows him, even if they don't know his radio origins. And those radio origins go WAY back - the Masked Man has been around 90 years, since 1933! But because the first five years of broadcasts were never recorded, even Lone Ranger fans don't know how the Masked Man's early stories sounded.

But thanks to historian Martin Grams, Jr., who provided us with copies of some scripts from way back in 1934, Project Audion actors have now recreated one. We selected episode #266 (October 22, 1934), a story of a cattle rancher, the coming of the railroad, and a "greasy half-breed" named Magdalena - yup, definitely less sensitive and streamlined than subsequent shows. You'll hear the show as we think it would have sounded in 1934...from the original 78rpm music cues to a period-accurate Silvercup bread commercial. Oh, and our cast even includes one actor who performed on Ranger radio shows during the 1950s! Now 93 years young, Chuck Daugherty is a living link to those thrilling days of yesteryear.

Jack Ward — Sun, 20 Aug 2023 09:03:00 +0000

Welcome back to Mutual Presents. This week, we're reintroducing our Tuesday Terror feature from the classic days of the Mutual Broadcasting System, and this time the incredibly eclectic anthology series- The Mysterious Traveler! This series ran on Mutual from December 1943 until about September of 1952. This tremendously popular radio show was truly an all around favorite for any mystery lover of the time. It was the brainchild and magnum opus of golden age writing greats Robert Arthur and David Kogan. The series was nominated for the coveted Edgar award for "Best Radio Drama" in 1949, 1951 and finally garnered a hands down win in 1953. The only show to have more nominations was CBS powerhouse Suspense. The Mysterious Traveler scripts totaled nearly 400 with only about 70 surviving today! Of those seventy we begin our voyage with the Traveler with "The House of Death" and "The Good Die Young"!

Project Audion Episode 43: Pat Novak for Hire: A Trunkful of Trouble

Jack Ward — Sun, 13 Aug 2023 09:02:00 +0000

Project Audion returns with the short-lived noirish radio detective series "Pat Novak for Hire" is probably better loved now than it was in the late 1940s, thanks to its darkly-comic quips and the dry-as-dust performance of Jack Webb in the title role, just before his breakout turn on "Dragnet." Pat Novak - the man, like the show - was one of those "hard-boiled" types - he may bounce or crack, but he doesn't break easily. Pat Novak shows are famed for their Raymond Chandler-esque plots and style, where the lead character never met a crook or a lady he couldn't describe with a delirious simile. Project Audion presents a brand-new episode penned for Project Audion by long-time network television writer Casey Keller. Mr Keller's script and Project Audions transcontinental cast matches the late-1940s originals blow for blow, dame for dame, gunshot for gunshot, metaphor for metaphor. Step into the perpetual foggy night of the San Francisco waterfront to meet "Pat Novak, For Hire."

Project Audion Episode 41: The Return of Fibber McGee and Molly

Jack Ward — Sun, 11 Jun 2023 09:02:00 +0000

Project Audion revisits one of the funniest, most beloved radio comedies of the 20th century. Fibber McGee and Molly tickled the radio audience for so long - more than a quarter of a century - that it spawned the very first-ever spinoff shows… and recurring gags like Fibber's hopelessly overstuffed closet and quips like Molly's "t'ain't funny, McGee" remained part of shared American pop culture long after the series left the airwaves.

Part vaudeville act, part sitcom, the series stared real-life couple Jim and Marion Jordan who were indeed former vaudeville comics. Don Quinn's scripts and a large cast of supporting characters who stopped by 79 Wistful Vista kept the laughs rolling. Now, Robert L. Mills (former comedy writer for Bob Hope) has wonderfully recreated the style of the show at its peak in a new script penned just for Project Audion. In it, Fibber thinks he's come up with a brilliant and practical new invention - for once, does his boasting have merit? Listen to our transcontinental cast and laugh!

Project Audion Episode 40: Suspense!- The Witness on the Westbound Train

Jack Ward — Sun, 14 May 2023 09:02:00 +0000

Larry Groebe is back with Project Audion and a season premiere, we've brought back the entire wide-ranging cast who appeared Project Audion Episode One...plus a couple more voice talents who have done wonderful work in other Project Audion shows.

And once again we're recreating an episode of "Suspense" -- one of a dwindling number of still-lost episodes at that! (We've already enabled people to hear two previously-lost Suspense shows through our past recreations.) This one, titled "The Witness on the Westbound Train," is a rare, early, and unusual find. When CBS premiered the the show in June 1942, it was a summer sustaining show, and not at all evident that it would become one of the all-time great radio dramas, running for 20 years and nearly 1000 stories. Indeed, this July 15, 1942 script, just Suspense's fifth-ever, is believed to have been adapted from an earlier show called "Calling All Cars" - which means that while all the typical Suspense ingredients are in place (in this instance, a murder aboard a moving train) the show hadn't quite yet settled into its classic style. It's still a fascinating listen to hear the embryonic version of the beloved show to come.

Project Audion Episode 39: Life with Luigi

Jack Ward — Sun, 23 Apr 2023 09:02:00 +0000

Larry Groebe is back with Project Audion and "Life with Luigi."

As a nation of immigrants, the clash of old and new cultures in America has provided authors an unending supply of humorous situations. "Life with Luigi" mined this comedic vein from 1948 to 1953. Each week, small-town Italian Luigi Bosco struggled to navigate the complexities of his new American life, supported by his friends from Italy, Germany, Eastern Europe, and Scandinavia. It's full of charming stereotypes with broadly entertaining accents, it's-a great, innocent fun.

In this episode, Luigi's aching tooth leads him into the unfamiliar world of medical specialists...

Project Audion Episode 38: I Was a Communist for an FBI

Jack Ward — Sun, 12 Mar 2023 08:03:00 -0100

Larry Groebe is back with Project Audion's“I was a Communist for the FBI” was an exciting 1952-1953 Cold-War era radio thriller series that purported to tell the real-life story of Matt Cvetic, who posed as a member of the Communist Party while actually spying for the FBI. Whether mostly true or mostly fantastic, these half hour “radio noir” dramas really illustrate the fears which the Red Menace held for mid-century America.

Many episodes of this taut melodrama can be heard today, but a handful are lost, and Project Audion’s March show is one of them - “Citizens of Nowhere” - now rediscovered and recreated from an original script located in archives in New York City.

Our nationwide cast performs this for the first time in 70 years -- and does a spectacular job, if I do say so myself (and I do.) Here they are, looking properly tense and/or suspicious:

Project Audion Episode 37: Little Ham from Harlem

Jack Ward — Sun, 12 Feb 2023 09:02:00 -0100

Larry Groebe is back with Project Audion's look into African American Month. Black poet Langston Hughes, who did write a few special radio programs, also tried to sell a full-fledged Black soap opera. Times being what they were, there were no takers. But his two pilot scripts got stashed away in an archive, and over Christmas I requested and received copies. And so, for the first time, we can hear his proposed show "Little Ham from Harlem" - a comedic soap opera set at a shoe shine stand. Yes, a radio soap opera - but one about Black lives in the 1940s. It's a glimpse at an alternate radio universe with people of color in leading roles - in fact, in ALL roles.

Between Americans Today

Jack Ward — Sun, 29 Jan 2023 09:02:00 -0100

Norman Corwin (1910-2011) was the Grand Master of American Radio

Theatre, and his final effort is extraordinarily timely today. In 1941,

this program confronted an America more divided, more polarized, than at

any time since the Civil War -- and this new version, updated for the

21st Century, does the same. This brilliantly fascinating program

reminds us to remember what we have in common, where we agree, and how

we all still stand together -- so we can tone down the anger and deal

with our differences without hatred and violence.

A group of Americans from coast to coast talk about what the United

States means, and try to discover how to deal with their differences

without hatred and violence. This lively, fascinating and extremely

timely production was the last script from Norman Corwin, acclaimed as

the Grand Master of American Radio Theatre.

Project Audion Episode 35: My True Story- A Christmas to Remember

Jack Ward — Sun, 11 Dec 2022 09:02:00 -0100

Larry Groebe is back with Project Audion's December classic radio recreation is a lost episode from a virtually-lost series - how’s that for a Christmas present from the past! “My True Story" was on the air from 1943 to 1962 on three networks, but it's all but forgotten today as only 10 or so vintage recordings survive out of perhaps 5,000 original broadcasts! A daily cousin to the daytime soap operas, "My True Story" produced a nearly hour-long complete drama five days a week, which I find astonishing. Our episode from Christmas Eve 1958 (#3,833) carried two titles - "A Christmas to Remember" and also "The Orphan In The Auditorium." It asked the question, "What happens to a child who unexpectedly meets Santa Claus?" It's full of charming, poignant, heart-tugging emotion for the holidays, and was recreated from an original script saved by the 10 year old actress who originally played “Dot,” with a far-flung Zoom-based cast

We want freedom but we also like order and structure. How much freedom and liberty are we willing to give up to enjoy order and structure? Because of this ambiguity, we both fear and welcome the conqueror. So in with the old and mixed with the new!

Tension between the two combat veterans reaches a peak during an imaginary march into the killing fields of war. The veterans share traumatizing memories and together “climb from the trenches,” forming a bond.

But seeds of conflict that will upend the lives of all at the soiree have been sown. A confrontation of great emotional intensity culminates in a fiery battle between decency and evil. It is a battle that foretells what is soon to come for Germany and the world." And our historical treatise of darker times from James Isaiah Gabbe (pronounced as GABE) continues this week on the Sonic Society!

Project Audion Episode 29: 1984

Jack Ward — Sun, 10 Apr 2022 09:02:00 +0000

Larry Groebe and Project Audion return with an hour-long dramatization of George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four...which was originally produced in August 1949, just a few months after the book was released to great acclaim. NBC University Theater adapted this scathing vision of our possible future world, one where "Freedom is Slavery" and "Big Brother is watching you." Big Brother is a part of our cultural currency now, but in 1949 this was a new and daring novel, and this early audio adaptation feels fresh - and still terrifying. (And still more than a bit relevant.)

Old-Time Radio Essentials is back with episode 28, AKA the 3rd episode of Season 3! Pete, Paul and Dave present an installment of the long-running "Gangbusters" series, entitled "The Case of Harry 'Red' Beaver". Yes, you heard that right! This is a PG-rated installment, and not only for that awkward title! The boys get a little blue, so send the kids off to bed before you listen to this one. As always, it's a rollicking discussion of the merits of the series, and the episode in question; or in this case, the lack thereof but we don't want to give too much away. Listen and enjoy!

It's another visit with our favourite recreation regulars- Larry Groebe and Project Audion with ""Bob and Rae"! Not too many stars from the OTR era have also hosted Saturday Night Live and a Broadway show, but comic geniuses Bob & Ray did it - and so Project Audion salutes them with a recreation of the offbeat, deadpan humor that aired on radio networks across the country for years starting in the early 1950s. John Bell in Alabama, and Pete Lutz in Texas take on the many characters created by Bob Elliott and Ray Goulding in an assemblage of sketches - both familiar and obscure - designed to replicate the kind of free flowing absurdity they did so well. You'll recognize a couple of Mutual's finest from our United Artists of Audio doing their amazing work!

Jack Ward — Sun, 05 Sep 2021 09:01:00 +0000

We're back with Season 17! Jack and David welcome one and all to the world's largest and longest running showcase of modern audio drama!

For our premiere we have a dynamite double-feature beginning with James O'Neill's "The Scarlet Cross".

665. The Great Plague has reached Cambridge.

Man of learning Francis Mortymer describes the blight and it’s tightening grip.

Sitting alone, in a stifling chamber with the plague closing around him, his thoughts circling smaller and smaller and darker and darker.

And the regular visits of his haunting, spectral doctor.

An atmospheric account of dread and fear.

And death.

Performed by Anton Lesser (Wolf Hall, The Crown, Game of Thrones)

Sound Design by Paul Freeman

Written by James O'Neill

And Residents of Proserpina Park from Angela Yih! The park is a beautiful and wonderful place with no screaming children, crowded spaces, or trash littered everywhere. The catch? The park residents might not be so welcoming. Welcome back, it's Audio Drama time!

Jack Ward — Sun, 15 Aug 2021 09:01:00 +0000

Another fantastic creation from the Mutual Broadcasting System was "The Shadow". And the Shadow Recreation Society on youtube has been hard at work to recreate these grand episodes! "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!" The opening lines of the "Detective Story" program captivated listeners and are instantly recognizable even today. Originally the narrator of the series of macabre tales, the eerie voice known as The Shadow became so popular to listeners that "Detective Story" was soon renamed "The Shadow," and the narrator became the star of the old-time mystery radio series, which ran until 1954. This week the Recreation Society recreates "The Bells of St. Peters" and "The Shadows Revenge" in a special Playhouse double feature!

Project Audion Episode 17: "Fibber McGee & Molly"

Jack Ward — Sun, 04 Apr 2021 09:02:00 +0000

Larry Groebe returns with the season finale of Project Audion with a special show indeed - a NEW episode of Fibber McGee and Molly, written in tribute to this classic OTR comedy by one of Bob Hope's own comedy writers, Robert L. Mills.

"Fibber's Missing Tux" is one you'll want to hear, as Mr. Mills packed his script full of Old Time Radio references (and some more recent pop culture as well), visits from some of the McGee's famous neighbors, and yes, Fibber manages to open that old overstuffed hall closet door - probably the most famous sound effect in all of old time radio.

We have a sterling cast which mixes Project Audion regulars with newcomers to the group. But wait! There's more! Before "Fibber" takes the air, I'll talk with Mr. Mills in Hollywood about his OTR memories and his decades working for Bob Hope. And the whole production is introduced by Audion veteran Paul Arbisi from Peoria Illinois, hometown of Fibber's husband-and-wife stars Jim and Marian Jordan.

Jack Ward — Sun, 28 Mar 2021 09:01:00 +0000

This week David and Jack present "The Showman, the Diver, and the Padre" from Benjamin Peel and Breakwater Theatre Company.

The Showman, the Diver and the Padre was part of a series of Yesteryear Plays written by Benjamin Peel and produced for the 2020 SOfa Fest by Breakwater Theatre. They explored various historic events that took place in the seaside resort of Skegness, Lincolnshire in the UK. They can all be heard here:

https://www.sofestival.org/main-programme-presenting-the-past/

“I hope that the Skegness crowds will be rather more receptive to me than the somewhat vulgar Blackpool ones.”

It is March 1936 and Billy Butlin is frantically trying to get his first holiday camp in Skegness ready and open on time. For reasons of their own, both Leslie Gadsby, a dare-devil high diver and Harold Davidson, the defrocked ex-Vicar of Stiffkey have turned up hoping to be taken on as acts. This audio drama imagines a fictional encounter between the three men.

Cast

Billy Butlin – Stacey Gough

Harold Davidson – Edward Peel

Lesley Gadsby – Dan Blacow

Little Jimmy/Bunco Kid – John Hewer

Writer – Benjamin Peel

Produced by Sara Beasley and Jack Pudsey

Sound Producer – Jack Pudsey
