The Saint was a radio adventure program in the United States that featured a character described as a Robin Hood type person who, in his attempt to help people, remained just one step ahead of the police and crooks—both of whom he combatted. It was created by author Leslie Charteris. As the program's introduction said, The Saint who's alias is Simon Templar was "known to millions from books, magazines, and motion pictures." Several versions of the program appeared on different networks.

We cover the iconic Shadow Radio Show! The program, loosely adapted from the popular pulp magazine series, told the story of Lamont Cranston, a wealthy young man-about-town who used his hypnotic powers to cloud men's minds so that they could not see him, fighting crime as an Invisible Avenger known only as The Shadow.

We cover a new (to me) show called Theatre Five. It was a radio drama series, presented by ABC between 1964 and 1965. The series used an anthology format, presented a number of short (20-minute) radio plays, across a number of genres, a number of which reflected topical issues contemporary with its airing. Enjoy!

Today we go Sci-Fi with X Minus One! This is an American half-hour science fiction radio drama series that broadcast from April 24, 1955 to January 9, 1958 on NBC. It is well known for high production values in adapting stories from the leading American authors of the era! X Minus One has been described as one of the finest offerings of American radio drama and one of the best science fiction series in any medium. Enjoy!

Our first ever guest star is introduced, who is it? Why it is Bennett Lewis and he's amazing! As expected, we have another great episode and this week we cover: The Unexpected! This was actually a 15-minute terror melodrama that aired in 1958. It featured weird stories with very unexpected twists, hence the title. The goal was to shock the listeners, which the show succeeded in doing so! 

We listen to a different episode of Old Time Radio days, and it is Suspense! In fact it was one of the premier drama programs of the Golden Age of Radio, and subtitled "radio's outstanding theater of thrills." The show focused on suspense-thriller type scripts, usually featuring leading Hollywood actors of the era. The formula for the show usually had plot devices that were followed nearly every episode: the protagonist was usually a normal person suddenly dropped into a threatening or bizarre situation; solutions were "withheld until the last possible second"; and evildoers were usually punished in the end. Great Radio! We enjoyed reviewing the show and making our own episode!

We discuss an Old Time Radio Show and then make our own version! Our first episode covers the Radio Show: My Favorite Husband. It was first broadcast as a one-time special on CBS Radio on July 5, 1948. Their new series Our Miss Brooks had been delayed coming to the air, so to fill in the gap that week CBS aired the audition program (like a pilot) for My Favorite Husband. Lucille Ball and Lee Bowman played the characters of Liz and George Cugat. A positive response to this broadcast convinced CBS to launch My Favorite Husband as a series. Bowman was not available, so when it debuted later that month it starred Lucille Ball and Richard Denning as the leads. The rest is History!!! They lived at 321 Bundy Drive in the fictitious city of Sheridan Falls, and were billed as, "two people who live together and like it." Tell us what you think!!!
