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:
The August the 19th 1942 episode of Suspense, "The Cave of Ali Baba " is based on one of Dorothy Sayers's Lord Peter Whimsy's short stories, "The Adventurous Exploit of the Cave of Ali Baba". This was first published 1928 and is a story in which a dead Lord Peter still manages to break up a criminal mastermind's burglary & blackmail organization. (pisst...hey buddy, his Lordship ain't really dead at any point in the story).
Segment Two:
"Symphony Of Death" is a tale told by The Mysterious Travler on September the 9th of 1946.
A rather pleasant seeming, but rather stupid man buys tombstones for all three of his sisters. Who, and this is one of the stupid parts, ani't srickly speaking dead yet. This oversight is quickly corrected as all three die of "unfortunate" accidents. I mean, come-on, even the dim police who often inhabit these stories figure this out in under 30 minutes.
Segment Three:
Is from the "LibreVox" Project. written by one of the ,Grand Masters of Science Fiction, Harry Hairison. The Arm Or The Law This excellent short story is about the arrival of an experimental police robot in a small back water town on Mars.
Nineport has a spaceport and a small police force and a few business that have sprung up to service the spaceport. But the boss here is unmistakably a local criminal backed by his mob who takes an instant dislike to the stainless steel Joe Friday.
Segment Four:
Is short in part because segment 4 runs more than the more common 30 minutes and is another LibreVox recording. This time a 1921 short werewolf story by John Davys Beresford "The Hidden Beast".
Music:
The Weavers - Brother, Can You Spare A Dime (1931).
Chad Mitchell Trio - I Was Not a Natzi Polka (1965).
