Publisher's Summary:

Carlton E. Morse is no stranger to radio enthusiasts, with a resume that includes I Love a Mystery and Adventures by Morse. However, it is his long-running radio serial One Man's Family that stands out as his greatest creation. From 1932 to 1959, this prestigious drama entertained audiences with a weekly and later daily glimpse into the lives of an authentic American family - the Barbours of Sea Cliff, San Francisco. Morse was inspired to create the series after reading The Forsyte Saga, and as a result the program was designed to be a continuous radio novel, complete with books, chapters, and a focus concentrating more on individual characterizations than on plot. This is the second of a two-volume audiobook collection.

Title: Afloat with Henry Morgan, Volume 2

Author: Warren Barry

Narrator: full cast

Format: Original Recording

Length: 4 hrs and 59 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-09-16

Publisher: Radio Archives, LLC

Genres: Nostalgia Radio, Crime & Mystery

Publisher's Summary:

Spending nearly his entire seafaring career in the Caribbean, wild tales of adventure swirl around the real-life Morgan from 1655, his first noted appearance in the area, up until his death in 1688. One of the most intriguing mysteries concerning this hard-living, sword-fighting sailor of the seven seas is how he came to be in the Caribbean. One particularly dashing story involves Morgan actually being shanghaied and sent on a boat against his will to become an indentured servant in the Americas.

When Oliver Cromwell, then the Puritan leader of England, sent an army to the island where Morgan was enslaved, Henry escaped his captors and threw in his lot with Cromwell's army in their battle against the Spanish. Regardless of how he started on his life upon the sea, Morgan definitely made a name for himself; he was a true terror of the oceans in the eyes of the Spanish fleets and a raucous hero to his own countrymen. Knighted in 1675, Morgan held several government positions on the island of Jamaica.

Title: The Adventures of Jungle Jim, Volume 8

Author: Gene Stafford

Narrator: full cast

Format: Original Recording

Length: 9 hrs and 17 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: Markheim

Author: Robert Louis Stevenson

Narrator: Laurence Olivier

Format: Original Recording

Length: 20 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-24-15

Publisher: Divine Art Ltd

Genres: Nostalgia Radio, Crime & Mystery

Publisher's Summary:

Robert Louis Stevenson's "Markheim", a study of good and evil, was published in 1885. Laurence Olivier plays the wicked Markheim who, after killing a pawnbroker who had trusted him, encounters the Devil, who tempts him further. He rejects the malign contract on offer and chooses instead the power of good.

"Theatre Royal" is a series of radio dramas first broadcast by the BBC in 1953 and in the USA soon after. Starring many of Britain's finest actors, it was the only radio series in which Lord Olivier took a major role.

Members Reviews:

Markheim

In my opinion this is a great short story, where there is the ABC of a short story plus religious dogmas with references to a famous play written by William Shakespeare.

The contrast between the dealer and Markheim is immediate and powerful, this is configurable by the exchange of their discourses.

In the first pages of this tale, there is a reference, or better a similitude to Ebenezer Scrooge (Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens) regarding two key points, the emotional transformation after the supernatural visitations of Jacob Marley, and the ghosts of Christmases, past, present, and yet to come, and most importantly the lack of the Christmas spirit, a ploy for to introduce a fundamental Christian's dogma i.e. the equation that the money are the devil's excrement; this concept has been introduced inside the plot using the phrase at the beginning and at the end: The Stock Exchange.

In my opinion "the visitor" is the conscience of Markheim, that has been absorbed and corrupted by his madness due to his thirsty of money.

Thinking profoundly on this character, I would like to mention that there is a clear reference to a famous play written by William Shakespeare, i.e. Macbeth for instance the "Banquet Scene" and the emersion of his madness. The main cause for their homicides, is the epic conflict between their free will and their conscience, and their fear of being punished by the divine and terrestrial laws.

In conclusion Stevenson even in a short story is able to philosophising.

In this case I can assume that as readers we have been led to believe and eventually say that the finance is a sin.

Cheers

Italo

Take some time for Markheim

In classic Stevenson style, Markheim explores the very nature of man and his (our) double-sided conscience. Stevenson demonstrates his mastery of language and writing by skillfully slowing down the scene and allowing the reader to see and feel the ticking of the clocks and the passage of time - in the room and on the street. Harkening to the old cliche of the devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other, Markheim must examine his morality, his deeds, and battle his conscience for the sake of his very life and soul.

This is a quick, and easy read. The vocabulary and syntax are not too deep and the pace of the story makes it truly engaging. The story is in the public domain and is most certainly available online but at this price, the Kindle editon is a bargain indeed. I've read it again and again, and I find something new every time.

Title: The Yoxley Case

Author: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Narrator: Sir John Gielgud, Sir Ralph Richardson

Format: Original Recording

Length: 25 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-24-15

Publisher: Divine Art Ltd

Genres: Nostalgia Radio, Crime & Mystery

Publisher's Summary:

This episode is based on Conan Doyle's story "The Adventure of the Golden Pince-Nez", in which Holmes investigates the stabbing of a young professor's aide.

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.
