Night Transmissions is a 120 minute show featuring vintage radio shows. Focusing on programs of the fantastic such as âEscapeâ, âLights Outâ and âX Minus Oneâ. It is transnational in its sourcing with shows from From England, Canada and South Africa. Wherever I can find shows in English and the public domain. Also, I include other appropriately licensed audio recordings (Short story and poetry readings).
This is a weekly program airing on KSOW 106.7 FM in Cottage Grove, OR. as part of the stations commitment to sustaining the tradition great radio theater. I will post a new show by Tuesday or Wednesday of each week.
In the main, each episode consists of four approximately 30-minute long programs (not always, as sometimes I use a longer form show, so it may be 3 or fewer) and some filler to bring them in at 120 minutes.
Broadcast Advisories
Use these programs in any way that suits you, commercial, non-commercial (well,don't sell it). Use them on your low power FM station or your AM station. Stream it on your internet station or stream. Whatever. Edit them if you want to, however you want to! I'm easy. In a few cases commercials have been left in but in those cases there is disclaimer stating that they are there for "historical perspective" only. I have edited out any underwriter spots that once existed. There is no comment about run times ( i.e. "It's Sunday night at 10 pm and this is Night Transmissions.") Also I have edited out any mention of the town I live in. In other words I have endeavored to make make these programs as "Evergreen" and global as possible. I would even consider making (at some point) shows that are tailored to some degree for specific locations. In most cases the mp3 file runs a little longer than 120 minutes. However, in all cases the main show comes in at under 120 minutes; anything in excess of 120 minutes is just music that can safely be faded out.
If you do broadcast or stream these I'd really be grateful if you dropped me a note.
This episode contains the following segments...
he first segment is from Lights Out , from August the 5th of 1936. "Money,Money,Money". A story about money, a winning sweepstakes ticket, Oh, and gold bars. These are a few of my favorite things.
Then from The Black Museum's run in 1952, "The Black Gladstone Bag" As Orson Wells says, "...A Gladstone bag. It's a familiar object. Every railroad train carries several. Inevitably useful, compact, and expandable. They always hold more than they seem. Perfect for vacations. Perfect also for..."
For our foray into science fiction this week we head over to Dimension X and investigate "The Lost Race". Shipwrecked on a world with the ruins of a long dead civilization a crew finds a deadly secret that could destroy again. Based on a story by Murray Leinster from the April 1949 issue of Thrilling Wonder Stories . It was originally broadcast live on NBC on May 20th, 1950. Then still later in 1960 published as The Duplicators, by Ace Books.
The last half hour of the show is from Murder at Midnight and is a "Nightmare" for a woman who has a vivid dream that her husband is going to kill her! This show blossomed into the summer air of August, 3rd, 1946.
