Project Audion recreates an extraordinarily rare and early lost episode of the classic audio drama Suspense. When CBS premiered the the show in June 1942, it wasn't immediately evident that it would become one of the all-time great radio dramas, running for 20 years and nearly 1000 stories. Indeed, in this (just Suspense's fifth-ever episode, from July 15, 1942), while all the typical ingredients are in place (in this instance, a murder aboard a moving train) the show hadn't quite yet settled into the style that would soon define classics like 1943's "Sorry, Wrong Number." Heard for the first time in 80 years, our recreation of this lost Suspense episode -- "The Witness on the Westbound Train" -- is taken from the single known surviving script. It features the same transcontinental cast of vocal actors who appeared in Project Audion's very first episode, along with additional talented voices who have appeared in Project Audion shows during the past three years. The Cast:  MARK: Pete Lutz, TX JOE: Doug Fain, KY DORIS: Patte Rosebank, Canada CONDUCTOR: Denny Thompson, CO LAWRENCE / RANDOLPH: John Mauldin, TN BILL / BAGGAGEMAN: Dick Huitema, FL ANNOUNCER / WAITER: Robert Stevenson, IN DIRECTION / PRODUCTION / SOUND: Larry Groebe, TX

PROJECT AUDION #41: Life With Luigi - "Luigi's Toothache" This month Project Audion recreates a classic radio comedy based on a timeless premise. As a nation of immigrants, the clash of old and new cultures in America has offered authors an unending supply of humorous situations. "Life with Luigi" mined this comedic vein from 1948 to 1953. Each week, small-town Italian Luigi Basco struggled to navigate the complexities of his new American life, supported by his friends from Italy, Germany, Eastern Europe, and Scandinavia. It's full of charming stereotypes with broadly entertaining accents, it's-a great, innocent fun. In this episode, Luigi's aching tooth leads him into the unfamiliar world of medical specialists... Luigi: Jacob Palka, IL Pasquale: Pete Lutz, TX Schultz: Larry Groebe, TX Announcer / Horowitz / Man: Ken Jeffries, CA Olson / Doctor: Paul Arbisi, IL Miss Spaulding / Rosa: Donna Patton, TN Directed by Mr. Palka and produced by Mr. Groebe

S2 E9 THE SHADOW'S LEGACY

PRESENTING...our Pulp-Pourri Theatre S4 and Series Finale! RATED R. "The Bird and the Snake" comes from a 1959 issue of Adam Magazine, a slick "girlie-mag", so not technically a pulp story, yet Clem Hanlon's tale of a Polish-American cop in Chi-town really smacks of the pulp style. It took a long time to get us to this point, but I'm proud of this episode, and feel that we're sending Pulp-Pourri Theatre out with a real bang, and not a whimper. I hope you feel the same after hearing it. Our theme, and transitional music, for this episode was specially composed by Katharine Seaton. I hope you listened to the theme when we posted it as a teaser earlier -- I absolutely love what she did for this episode.

JAKE DIMES, RANGE DETECTIVE Chapters 1 & 2 (special re-issue)

Episode 1 -- "Treasure Island", The Mercury Theatre On the Air Welcome to Old-Time Radio Essentials, a new podcast wherein a specific episode from a selected OTR series is presented, and then discussed by three co-hosts: Pete Lutz, Jane St. John and Paul Arbisi; to determine whether or not it meets the following criteria: 1. Is it truly representative of that series? (Can anyone point to it and say, "Yes, that is what [NAME OF SERIES] was all about.") 2. Is it an episode worthy of inclusion in any and every OTR aficionado's private collection? So with this in mind, we three bring you, as our first installment, the 2nd episode of Orson Welles's Mercury Theatre series, "Treasure Island", originally broadcast July 18th, 1938. We'll introduce the show, play it in its entirety, then discuss it at length. Thanks for joining us, and we hope you enjoy it!  To comment or give suggestions for future discussions, please write to us at f6point3@gmail.com .

OLD-TIME RADIO ESSENTIALS Episode 1

WELCOME BACK, PULPATEERS! It's been several months since we launched the last new episode of Pulp-Pourri Theatre, and it's good to be back! For this episode we journey to the Red Planet for a weird sci-fi adventure that takes place both under the surface and in a completely different universe. It's called "The Eyes of Thar" and was penned by the prolific pulpster, Henry Kuttner. Kuttner lived a short life, dying in 1958 at the age of 42, but in that time he published dozens of short stories for the pulps, 18 or more novels, and just as many stories for the Golden-Age Green Lantern comic book series. If you haven't heard of Kuttner, perhaps you've read a story published under one of 17 different pseudonyms; his contemporaries felt he'd been cheated out of his well-deserved fame, because his fans didn't know he'd written so many stories under so many names. "The Eyes of Thar" was originally published under the Kuttner name in the Fall 1944 issue of Planet Stories. The adaptation was written by Pete Lutz in 2014 and recorded in 2016, with some pick-up lines recorded in 2017. Ms. Morizawa's introduction was recorded in 2017. Stay tuned after the episode to hear a very special announcement for a worthy organization. CAST: GUEST INTRODUCTION by Julia Morizawa of "The Bright Sessions" podcast ANNOUNCER, QUIANA, and THE CREATURE: Kristy Glick SAMUEL DANTAN and THE SHAMAN: Pete Lutz   Musical score composed and performed by Tom Rory Parsons Post-production and sound design by MJ Cogburn Pulp-Pourri Theatre theme composed and performed by Rich Wentworth Opening announcements by Gene Lutz and Rich Wentworth   COMING UP NEXT: Episode 9, "The Cask of Amontillado" by Edgar Allan Poe P.S. Thanks to all of you, November 2017 is the biggest month I can remember -- we exceeded 4,000 downloads! That's amazing, and I hope we'll continue to grow like this. Tell your friends, and make sure you don't miss an episode!

S2 E2: THE PIN-UP MURDER MYSTERY (Part 1)

I'm honestly shocked that I hadn't posted this before now, our 2015 entry for the Sonic Society's Summerstock Playhouse: Our pretty decent remake of the Lux Radio Theater's 1951 adaptation of Carol Reed's 1949 film, "The Third Man".  In case you didn't know, the Summerstock Playhouse brings you, every Summer, a handful of old-time radio remakes from modern-day audio drama producers. As I indicated above, this was our first entry, and I'd already released our production from last year, "Good Ghost" from the Quiet, Please radio series. It's no coincidence that I went looking for our first production -- earlier this week I wrapped post-production on this year's entry, "Meridian 7-1212" from the 1939 Columbia Workshop series broadcast. This new one will be featured at the Sonic Summerstock in the last weekend of July.  Find the Summerstock Playhouse at http://sonicsociety.org/category/sonic-summer/ There's a special thing going on this summer to honor the memory of our dear friend Bill Hollweg: click on the link to find out more. Meantime, here's the cast of THE THIRD MAN. Enjoy the show!

I'm honestly shocked that I hadn't posted this before now, our 2015 entry for the Sonic Society's Summerstock Playhouse: Our pretty decent remake of the Lux Radio Theater's 1951 adaptation of Carol Reed's 1949 film, "The Third Man".  In case you didn't know, the Summerstock Playhouse brings you, every Summer, a handful of old-time radio remakes from modern-day audio drama producers.
