Bad Boy

The Gentleman

Around Dodge City and in the territory on west -- there's just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers -- and that's with a U.S. Marshall and the smell of "GUNSMOKE"!

"GUNSMOKE" starring William Conrad. The story of the violence that moved west with young America -- and the story of a man who moved with it, 

I'm that man, Matt Dillon, United States Marshall -- the first man they look for and the last they want to meet. It's a chancy job -- and it makes a man watchful...and a little lonely.Radio's Last Great Dramatic Series! - Gunsmoke

Fr. Brown & Friends Mystery Podcast - The Girl on Shipwreck Island - Adventures by Morse

The title of this series refers to the writer and director of the show, Carlton E. Morse. There were 52 episodes of this thirty-minute adventure series featuring a San Francisco detective, Captain Bart Friday, and his sidekick, Skip Turner. Captain Friday and Skip roamed the world together seeking danger and solving mysteries. The stories told bordered on the supernatural, though there was usually a rational explanation for the superbly written terror-chillers.

G.K. Chesterton - Orthodoxy Chapters 1-3

 Most Eugenists are Euphemists. I mean merely that short words startle them, while long words soothe them. And they are utterly incapable of translating the one into the other, however obviously they mean the same thing. Say to them "The persuasive and even coercive powers of the citizen should enable him to make sure that the burden of longevity in the previous generation does not become disproportionate and intolerable, especially to the females"; say this to them and they will sway slightly to and fro like babies sent to sleep in cradles. Say to them "Murder your mother," and they sit up quite suddenly. Yet the two sentences, in cold logic, are exactly the same. (Summary by Gilbert Keith Chesterton) 

The Iliad - Homer - Embassy to Achilles - Ulysses and Diomed Go Out as Spies - Chapters 9-10

 The Iliad, together with the Odyssey, is one of two ancient Greek epic poems traditionally attributed to Homer. The poem is commonly dated to the 8th or 7th century BC, and many scholars believe it is the oldest extant work of literature in the Greek language, making it the first work of European literature. The existence of a single author for the poems is disputed as the poems themselves show evidence of a long oral tradition and hence, multiple authors. The poem concerns events during the tenth and final year in the siege of the city of Iliun, or Troy, by the Greeks. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia by Karen Merline.) 

Family Comedy Podcast - The Magnificent Montague

This is a great situation radio comedy show featuring Monty Woolley and a very good supporting cast. The plots are varied, but focus on the main character, his wife, and the housekeeper with various supporting players including Art Carney. 

This is the actor from The Man Who Came To Dinner, if you need a face to picture. Beard and all.You may not get every reference, but the show builds a fantasy world. It is New York in the first half of the century. Montague is a Shakespearian hack actor who hasn't worked in years. Somehow he offered a radio show which becomes a hit, and he spends the rest of the series in dread lest his club members find out. He is offered a movie role, which affords the writers a chance to skewer Hollywood. Agnes the maid sparkles.

Eugenics and Other Evils - G.K. Chesterton - Chapters 4-6
