Great podcasts

Wow, I mean wow... did I mention wow! What a unique podcast experience. I&#39;ve never heard anything quite like it, and that&#39;s a very good thing! At first listen it can be kind of overwhelming, there is just so much going on. By the third show or so that I listened to, I was kind of hooked. Well done! I love the retrobots, I especially love their name. Your podcast does a brilliant job of mixing new technology including the previously mentioned retrobots to introduce a whole new generation to OTR.

Retro Old Time Radio

A man has been acquitted for charges of  manslaughter. One person monitering the well publicized trial seems to think the  man was falsley acquitted. Being a retired judge, he feels it his duty to take  matters into his own hands. The man is invited to a luncheon, he presumes it is  to be a victory party. The old judge has other plans that sound a little more  disturbing.  The worried wife talks to police, but three days  later, there's still no sign of her husband. The police do notice a trend of  missing persons who had just been acquitted of various crimes. There's  definitley something going on, but all they need is just the right break to  figure it out. They get it when the son has something to say.  Meanwhile, is there any hope for our man, and the  others that are also being held captive? Some of his captives have been there  for years.  Is the old judge right? Is he being fair? I suppose  it's all a matter of opinion, however he is indeed breaking the law when he  takes it into his own hands to apply his own breed of justice.  So will the testimony of the son help to free his  missing dad? Will the old judge keep his little prison an force? With little to  hope for, what hope is there for our man to escape? All the answers are revealed  in act 3 of our radio play, so stay tuned, and listen in.  In the mid 1970's the CBS Radio Mystery Theater was  produced. If it had hopes of bringing back the glory days of radio drama, it  didn't work, although the show had a long and successful run. Hosted by EG  Marshal, and using all the best voice actors both from the old days of radio,  and a new breed of acting tallent.  Bonus Track: Gene Wilder and Peter Boyle.  Puttin on the Ritz.  PS: The Retrobots take over as we try to kick off a  series of scary Retro Originals for the Halloween season.

PAPER

First, a 66 year old female bowler, who has been at  it for 30 years. Along with an Italian immigrant named Frank. After a sponsor  break for DeSoto Plymouth, the show continues.  This time an unmarried, female airport worker is  joined by an unmarried man who is seeking a vegetarian mate.  Finally a prince and princess join the show. A  prince from the Belgian Congo, who tells his success story rising as a commoner,  to living in America, being educated, and returning to his home country. He is  even convinced by Groucho to perform a brief native dance and drum number. .  So who wins? I'm not telling. Listen to find out.  Bonus Track: Don Gibson. Sea of Heartbreak.  PS: The song is from around the mid-1950's...  probably, but may be from as late as the early 1960's. Leave me a comment and  set me straight.

Now even more desperate, Jack calls his old sponsers, Jello, General Tire, and Canada Dry. Just when he thinks it can't get worse, it's happy ending time.  Bonus Track: Graham MacNamee. Reading fan mail from 1940.

Actually the first episode of My Favorite Husband,  starring Lucille Ball and Richard Denning. The first show sets up the premise of  the series. A married couple who have been happily married for 10 years, and  still seem to be actually in love. The Cugat's flashback to moments of their  wedding day, as they prepare for their anniversary. Liz, the well to do  socialite, and George, the up and coming banker.  Liz is to have a portrait painted for the big  anniversary celebration. George's friend Corey, a confirmed bachelor cass doubt  on the intentions of the portrait artist. Of course Liz doesn't see anything in  the artist, but manages to say all the right things to cause jealousy to grow in  George. It gets so bad that George calls a doctor along with his attractive  nurse. Still simmering over the artist, George see's his chance to use the  situation of having the nurse to get some revenge jealousy brewing in Liz.  In the end though, George and Liz come to their  senses. They see through their petty jealousies, but don't worry, the laughs  won't stop even to the very end.  Bonus Track: Glenn Miller. 1938. The Cowboy  from Brooklyn.  PS: Coming soon to the Retro Radio Podcast, Lucille  Ball as Liz Cugat. Lucky for me, by the end of the first season, and without  explaination, their last name is changed to Cooper. Fortunately for me, because  I can never remember how to spell Cugat, but Cooper isn't so hard. (Isn't that  so selfish of me, or what?) Watch for more additions and changes to the lineup  in the coming weeks.
