Season 3 is here! We have Minki Bai as a guest. A reviewer in Variety called Templeton "that perennial summer replacement favorite." His radio program, Alec Templeton Time was first broadcast from 1939 to 1941, returning in 1943 and 1946–47. It was sometimes known as The Alec Templeton Show. It was fun to discuss and improvise our own version!

Kelly and I did it! Season 2 finished at last!!! You have to listen to see what we are doing for Season 3! We are grateful to our listeners and their support! :-)

Today we welcome guest host Dhira Brown to the show!!! We cover a Western series based on her suggestion. Have Gun – Will Travel is an American Western series that was produced and originally broadcast by CBS on both television and radio from 1957 through 1963. The television version of the series was rated number three or number four in the Nielsen ratings every year of its first four seasons, and it is one of the few shows in television history to spawn a successful radio version. It debuted November 23, 1958, more than a year after the premiere of its televised counterpart!

We have Jacob Chapman back on the show!!! This week we are talking about Our Miss Brooks. It was an American situation comedy starring Eve Arden as a sardonic high school English teacher. It began as a radio show broadcast on CBS from 1948 to 1957. When the show was adapted to television (1952-56), it became one of the medium's earliest hits. In 1956, the sitcom was adapted for big screen in the film of the same name.

New year, New decade (really) so the time for a new Old Time Radio tale for us is in order. Kelly and I listen to Escape!!! It aired 1947 - 1954

"Tired of the everyday grind? Ever dream of a life of romantic adventure? Want to get away from it all? We offer you… Escape!"

One of radio's greatest series of high adventure, the radio show Escape will transport you to the high seas, Caribbean jungles, and beyond. Escape aired on CBS Radio for the first time on July 7, 1947. The show, which consisted of both original and adapted episodes, featured a life or death situation from which the characters had to escape, hence its title. The show lasted until September 25, 1954.

In todays special Holiday Episode, not only do we have a great guest star: Austin, but we cover the December 24th episode of The Jack Benny Program! The show starred no less than Jack Benny himself, and was a comedy series than went on-air for more than 30 years in both radio and television. It premiered on NBC Blue on May 2, 1932, and had its last episode on CBS radio on May 22, 1955, producing a total of 931 episodes. The TV adaptation, which was just a continuation of the radio program, was aired from 1950 to 1965. The show made use of a show-within-format, where each character's role was no other than themselves. It would start with a performance from the orchestra, or sometimes a joke between Benny and Wilson. This was followed by gags between Benny and the rest of the cast, usually about the day's news, or about the characters themselves, most especially something about Benny's life.

We welcome Jacob Chapman to the show as a guest star as we cover The Zero Hour! Chosen by the Mutual Broadcasting system for having a theme of tales of mystery, adventure and suspense, it was a 1973 to 1974 two-season radio drama anthology series hosted and scripted by Rod Serling and produced by JM Kholos. The series used old top radio stars such as Edgar Bergen, and Richard Crenna, as well it featured current top TV stars of the time such as Patty Duke, John Astin and Susan Oliver.

We cover Dragnet and this is our first Crime Genre! This series was broadcasted from June 3, 1949 to February 26, 1957 on NBC at various times and days, starring Dragnet starred Jack Webb as Detective Sergeant Joe Friday. Various partners throughout the show's run were Sergeant Ben Romero (Barton Yarborough), Ed Jacobs (Barney Phillips), and Officer Frank Smith (Ben Alexander). Webb was the creator/Director of the series and wanted everything to be as authentic as possible, down to the last sound effect. The stories were based on actual police files and "the names were changed to protect the innocent". Dragnet broke a few radio taboos as well, such as dramatizing sex crimes. Children also were killed on occasion as in the episode "Twenty-Two Rifle For Christmas". The series eventually went to television and ran there for many years. The familiar DUM DE DUM DUM, the first four notes of the opening theme composed by Walter Schumann, became a pop culture legend and was forever associated with Dragnet.

Kelly and I are back at it again! It is a special one too! "Five Minute Mysteries" was broadcast on the MBS (Mutual Broadcasting System) from 08-10-1947 thru to 03-27-1950. Listening carefully to every word spoken about these terrific (but brief) mysteries was essential, as each mystery was very well written. We have a fun version of our own to offer too!

Reminisce with us on our Radio Journey so far! Thanks for listening! Season 2 coming soon, please like and subscribe!
