Night Transmissions is a 120 minute show featuring vintage radio shows This week from South Africaâs The Creaking Door , "Don't Take My Blood". From âThe Price Of Fearâ, "Come as You Are". Segments three and four comprise âEarth Abidesâ.
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...
For the fist half hour of this weeks show we head out for South Africa to take in an episode of their version Of The Inner Sanctum , which they called rather unoriginal, The Creaking Door.
There are a lot of Old Time Radio shows about which nearly nothing is known and this is another of them. It isn't known who the producer or writer was or who was featured in the cast of the show mot even when it ran. There is general agreement that it was in the 50s but there is some reason to think it could have been the 60s.
Anyway this week it's a story about a very reluctant blood donor named John Smith and his warning of, "Don't Take My Blood".
Segment two is British and one of my favorites, The Price Of Fear. This week the host of the show, Vincent Price, invites us to, "Come as you Are". Okay... the invitation is for one and we are a bit late, after-all it was issued for April 6th of 1974. But I think it'll be okay if we all just show up anyway.
Segments three and four comprise the the only two part show that Escape ever did. From November 5 and 12th of 1950 comes the Escape adaptation of George R Stewart's classic and quite wonderful novel Earth Abides.
