This is a 64 kbs version of 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. There is also a 128 bit version.
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 times will be in the mp3 comment tag
If you do broadcast or stream these I'd really be grateful if you dropped me a note.

The show was in the grand tradition of Old Time Radio shows Suspense and The Inner Sanctum. Tonight's show,"A Deadly Game Of Death" aired on February the 2nd 1974 . It's a nicely done haunted house story with a duet of investigators spending the night in a thoroughly haunted house. Expect a few moans.One or two groans. The rattle of old dry bones. Okay, it's prattle.I lie, no bones do rattle.

Segment Three: "The Brooklyn Brain" aired on 2000 Plus on June the 21st. of 1950. In this story two scientists turn a bit of a dimwit into a brainiac in order to impress the woman he loves. It's all going to remind you of Flowers for Algernon if Daniel Keyes had written for laughs. However "The Brooklyn Brain" owes nothing to this work. It anticipated "Flowers for Algernon" by nine years. Charly, the movie and the musical Charlie and Algernon, both based on Keyes story would premiere in 1978, twenty-eight years later.
