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...
We Start off with the February the 23rd of 1948 entry in the The Diary Of Fate with a peak into the life of "Peter Drake". A man comfortable in his life and work. Peter loves his wife Marsha, a proud, greedy woman. And because of that love he finds himself with his pistol pressed against his temple by his own hand.
Then a short visit to The Strange Doctor Weird. Don't be shy. He's always home. At least he was on April the 3rd of 1945 when he told this tale. Something about "The Devils Cavern".
It's only 11 minutes long it's from February 23rd of 1938. Far more people have heard of it than have ever heard it. Now, is your chance . From Light's Out and the pen and tongue in cheek of Arch Olber, it's the "Chicken Heart".
Then in the second hour we will listen to Dimension X's adaptation of one of the most famous stories by one of the most Famous Science Fiction authors of all time. Isaac Asimov's, "Nightfall" from September the 9th of 1951
The last segment is (thanks again to the Librivox Project) Glen Hallstrom (AKA Smokestack Jones ) reading H. P. Lovecraft's "The Street" which was Published in December of 1920 by The Wolverine magazine.
