Third is an episode of The Avengers radio show from South Africa.This time Stead and Mrs. Peel find themselves answering the call of duty in "Dial a deadly Number".
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 of 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...
Segment one is from December the 22nd of 1942 and filled with dames, coppers and crime when Suspense presents Dashiell Hammett's short story, "Two Sharp Knives". This time Stuart Erwin plays a police lieutenant who rises above the corruption of police authority to solve a crime. "Two Sharp Knives" first appeared in Colliers magazine on January 13th of 1934.
The Next Segment is from The Armed Forces Radio show Macabre. From December the 11th of 1961 and is called "The Midnight Horseman". You see there is this old oil painting with hidden powers. It's okay though, there is no-one named Dorian Gray anywhere to be found.
The Last segment is a little over an hour long and is the third episode of The Avengers radio show from South Africa, a series adapted from the British Television series The Avengers. Produced between 6th December 1971 and 28th December 1973. It stared Donald Monat and Diane Appleby.
This time Stead and Mrs. Peel find themselves answering the call of duty in "Dial a deadly Number".
