Publisher's Summary:

Screen legend Harold Lloyd hosts volume two of The Old Gold Comedy Theatre, a 1944-45 NBC anthology series featuring some of the top names in film and radio. Presenting half-hour versions of popular film comedies in much the same way that The Lux Radio Theater did with drama, this delightful and star-studded series was long considered a lost show until an almost complete set of recordings was found in Lloyd's basement - recordings that have now been restored to sparkling audio fidelity by Radio Archives. The result is five hours of sparkling entertainment in this second of a two-volume collection.

Title: The Milton Berle Show, Volume 2

Author: Hal Block, Martin Ragaway

Narrator: Milton Berle, full cast

Format: Original Recording

Length: 7 hrs and 50 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-07-16

Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC

Genres: Nostalgia Radio, Comedy & Variety

Publisher's Summary:

His comedy was once described by Time magazine as the acme of hysterical vulgarity ,and for more than 70 years Milton Berle never lost his taste for good old-fashioned bust-a-gut laughs. But it took the veteran performer the better part of two decades to find a radio format that genuinely suited him, and when he did, the result was The Milton Berle Show, a 1947-48 NBC series that stands today as one of the bright spots of postwar radio. The series takes a satirical approach that pokes as much fun at Berle's boorish stage persona as it does the targets of the satire.

In volume 2, each show salutes some current pop-culture phenomenon in broadly played topical sketches that feature the antics of Arnold Stang, comic harridan Pert Kelton, and character actor Jack Albertson.

Title: Jack Carson Show

Author: CBS Radio

Narrator: Jack Carson, Irene Ryan, Eddie Marr, Arthur Treacher

Format: Original Recording

Length: 10 hrs and 5 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-04-16

Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC

Genres: Nostalgia Radio, Comedy & Variety

Publisher's Summary:

The Jack Carson Show was a radio situation comedy that ran from 1943 until 1947, with Hollywood character actor Jack Carson playing a fictionalized version of himself as a none-too-bright movie star. Every week he dealt with strange friends, neighbors, and relatives in his hectic life in Hollywood.

Jack Carson was best known and most remembered for supporting roles as comic relief, often wisecracking know-it-alls who were undone by their own overconfidence. He played this type of role in movies such as Bringing Up Baby, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and Arsenic and Old Lace. Occasionally he was able to show his dramatic skills, in films such as Mildred Pierce, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, and the James Mason-Judy Garland version of A Star Is Born.

Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC

Genres: Nostalgia Radio, Comedy & Variety

Publisher's Summary:

Very few radio shows that aired during Radio's Golden Age between the early 1930s right on up into the 1950s managed to spin off an equally successful sequel series, yet Jerry Dugan's circus adventures proved to be so popular among young listeners that a sequel series about Jerry's adventures in a military school, Jerry at Fair Oaks, quickly followed.

Jerry at Fair Oaks picks up shortly after circus owner Sam Randall is named Jerry Dugan's legal guardian. Believing that a circus is no place for a boy to grow up in, Sam Randall enrolls Jerry at the Military Academy at Fair Oaks. At Fair Oaks, Jerry takes the first steps toward becoming the fine young man his circus family and friends believe he will be someday.

Title: Family Doctor

Author: Broadcasters Program Syndicate

Narrator: full cast

Format: Original Recording

Length: 9 hrs and 34 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-03-16

Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC

Genres: Nostalgia Radio, Comedy & Variety

Publisher's Summary:

The Family Doctor was a family drama. Cedarton was a typical small town in an unnamed state, where you knew your neighbors and you could leave your doors unlocked. Today, the show is a reminder of simpler times, when old-fashioned moral values were in full bloom and the sense of community was strong.

Adams is a kindly small-town doctor who serves the citizens of Cedarton, tending their bodies as well as their souls. He is a pillar of the community, dispensing both medical advice and common sense wisdom to patients in need of both. Wise and humorous, Adams helps keep his patients on a moral path when they stumble while tending to their bodily ills. This includes an overweight policeman who's distrustful of strangers and the town gossip who hurts the feelings of others with her insensitivity.

Each episode is a combination of medical treatment and sage advice, not to mention drama such as dam burstings, robberies, and attempted suicides, and it's easy to see that The Family Doctor was an early prototype....

Title: The Adventures of Maisie, Volume 2

Author: Samuel Taylor

Narrator: full cast

Format: Original Recording

Length: 5 hrs and 31 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-29-15

Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC

Genres: Nostalgia Radio, Comedy & Variety

Publisher's Summary:

The Adventures of Maisie, starring Ann Sothern, benefited greatly from the fact that the radio series was slickly made (the series was produced at NBC in Hollywood) and featured top talent from "Radio Row", notably Sheldon Leonard (frequently heard as Maisie's boyfriend, Joe Pulaski), Hans Conried, Lurene Tuttle, Bea Benaderet, and Frank Nelson, along with others too numerous to mention. The series star enjoyed the working conditions on the show (though there was a certain irony in the fact that the MGM studio had let Sothern's contract lapse in real life), particularly since MGM graciously allowed the series to be recorded at her home when she was bedridden and recovering from a bout of hepatitis.

Maisie had a long life in syndication after its initial run on WMGM (it was also briefly heard over Mutual in 1952), and now you'll get the opportunity to listen to the comical misadventures of the brassy showgirl with the heart of gold in 12 broadcasts contained in this collection, restored to sparkling audio fidelity by Radio Archives.
