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.
As of show 21 there are 30 second musical interludes at 30,60 and 90 minutes. with the last 5 to 10 minutes or so of the show uninterrupted music that can be faded out on without too much ado. Exact timing is in the mp3 comments tag.
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 The Mysterious traveler for July 27th of 1947 "The Man The Insects Hated". You see, there's this inventor and he's really obsessed with bugs. I mean he hates them with a passion ...wants to kill them all! And he's close to perfecting a spray devastating to bugs, all bugs.
The "BUGS" are not amused.
Meanwhile, there's this new handyman and the inventor's wife kind of likes him; really kind of likes him. You can well imagine that no good comes of this.
As silly as all this sounds, and is, it's good fun.
Segment Two:
From Peter Lorre's show Mystery In The Air, we've got an adaptation of Nelson bond's "The Mask of Medusa".
First airing on September the 4th of 1947, "The Mask of Medusa" is one of those stories that takes place in a wax museum with extraordinarily lifelike exhibits. As usual there is an explanation.
Segment Three:
Comes from X Minus One for February the 29th of 1956.
In "Hello, Tomorrow" A woman living underground, like everyone else, in this future devastated by an ongoing nuclear war betrays her 'country' by falling in love with an enemy POW. This is a capital crime punishable by exile to the ruined, radioactive surface.
Segment Four: For segment four we turn, as I so often do, to the LibriVox project. This time it's for the reading by Mark Bolton of the classic Poe story "The Tell - Tale Heart".
