Title: The Adventures of Jungle Jim, Volume 4

Author: Gene Stafford

Narrator: full cast

Format: Original Recording

Length: 9 hrs and 20 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-15-16

Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC

Genres: Nostalgia Radio, Crime & Mystery

Publisher's Summary:

Beginning with Tarzan, the pulp era was full of jungle heroes. Jungle Jim is one of the unique ones. He was not a barely literate, loincloth-clad tree-dwelling wild man but rather Jim Bradley, a great white hunter in the mold of heroes of earlier popular fiction such as H. Rider Haggard's Allan Quatermain and Lord John Roxton from Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World, who represented the colonial view of the so-called primitive regions of the globe. This gave him a distinctive difference from your run-of-the-mill jungle man, who often knew little about civilization and was equipped with not much more than a knife in most cases. Also, his stomping grounds were located in exotic Southeastern Asia.

Title: The Adventures of Frank Race, Volume 2

Author: Joel Murcott, Buckley Angel

Narrator: full cast

Format: Original Recording

Length: 5 hrs and 21 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-29-15

Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC

Genres: Nostalgia Radio, Crime & Mystery

Publisher's Summary:

Frank Race is a cultured and sophisticated investigator who, in his world travels, encounters equal measures of crime, espionage, violence, and attractive but suspicious women. A dashing combination of Johnny Dollar and James Bond, Race began his professional career as a successful attorney, but, after a stint with the OSS during World War II, he found his former profession to be far too dull and predictable. Adventure had become his goal - and it quickly became his business.

Heard today, The Adventures of Frank Race remains engrossing, action-packed entertainment reminiscent of shows like The Man Called X and Counterspy - Cold War-era series that say as much about the paranoia of the postwar world as they do about their audiences' love of action and suspense.

Title: Classic Radio Spotlights: Orson Welles

Subtitle: The Classic Radio Collection

Author: Hollywood 360 - producer

Narrator: Orson Welles

Format: Original Recording

Length: 5 hrs and 48 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-18-15

Publisher: Black Eye Entertainment

Genres: Nostalgia Radio, Crime & Mystery

Publisher's Summary:

This collection spotlights the iconic Orson Welles in nine of his works from the golden age of radio. These radio dramas, airing from 1938 through 1951, are among his very best and can be enjoyed for years to come.

Armed with the nickname the "Boy Genius", Orson Welles graduated from the New York stage to expand his creative talents in the radio industry, hoping to use the audio medium to promote his stage ventures. Welles followed the practice followed by most stage actors: He played roles in hundreds of radio dramas produced by advertising agencies and the radio networks.

After creating a minor panic among radio listeners with his 1938 War of the Worlds broadcast, Welles attracted the attention of a movie studio that offered the actor the spotlights of Tinseltown - resulting in Citizen Kane. Making the move to California, Welles continued to appear on radio programs, became established as a Hollywood actor, and made numerous guest appearances on variety, comedy, and dramatic programs. In 1941 and again in 1946, he starred in a chilling story titled The Hitch-Hiker, scripted by Lucille Fletcher, which 13 years later was adapted into a television episode of The Twilight Zone.

In the early 1950s, when Welles was temporarily blacklisted, he moved to England and narrated the radio program The Black Museum and starred in The Lives of Harry Lime, a prequel to the classic The Third Man, now regarded as one of the 100 best movies ever made.

Title: The Solitary Cyclist

Author: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Narrator: Sir John Gielgud, Sir Ralph Richardson

Format: Original Recording

Length: 27 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-24-15

Publisher: Divine Art Ltd

Genres: Nostalgia Radio, Crime & Mystery

Publisher's Summary:

In one of the most intriguing of the mysteries, Holmes helps a young woman in trouble from a seemingly phantom follower, following the death of a rich uncle.

The 16 episodes of Sherlock Holmes starring Gielgud and Richardson were produced by Harry Alan Towers (1920-2009) for his "Towers of London" company. They were first broadcast on the old BBC Light Programme in 1954, and by NBC in 1955; they are still regarded by many as the definitive Holmes series. Heritage Media acquired exclusive distribution rights to the series from Towers in 1994; the series was licensed for several years with great success to Hodder Headline and reverted to Heritage at the end of 2009.

The scripts were written by John Keir Cross, closely following the original stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, but renaming some of them. The music for the productions was composed by Sydney Torch, with the famous violin cadenzas played by Alfredo Campoli. Other actors appearing included Robert Rietti, and John Gielgud's brother Val (later Director of Drama at the BBC), who played Mycroft Holmes. Orson Welles took the part of Professor Moriarty. Quite possibly other big names on the BBC roster appeared in the series anonymously too.

The recordings were carefully remastered so as not to detract from the ambience of the original performances.
