Monday Matinee

Re-Imagined Radio presents "D.B. Cooper's Last Interview," a factual documentary with a fictional ending about man known as D.B. Cooper who hijacks a passenger airplane Thanksgiving Eve, 1971, and then parachutes over southwest Washington state carrying $200,000 in ransom money. Never apprehended, presumed dead, Cooper remains legendary. We adapt Tom Vandel's original story, "The Last Interview," to bring closure without disrupting the power of this true but unsolved mystery. From our Guest Writer series.

Project Audion's latest episode is a recreation of a Jack Benny show you've never heard before - because it was written just for Audion by Bob Hope staff writer Robert L. Mills. Robert learned the comedy craft by listening to Benny's shows as a boy, and his script - "Jack Visits the DMV" - has the classic setups and style that made the original Benny shows so funny. It's like a whole new episode from 1950! Thanks to our talented transcontinental cast and crew, it sounds like a vintage episode too. We have some terrific voices stepping into the shoes of the original Jack Benny players -- Jack Benny: Geoffrey Mark, CA Don Wilson: Ken Jeffries, CA Rochester: Lee J. Greene, NE Dennis Day/Frank Nelson: Bob Beaumont, CA Mary Livingstone/Bus Guide: Denise Cline, KY Phil Harris: Norman Cline, KY Ed the Vault Guard: Harry Middlebrooks, CA Mr Kitzel/Racetrack Tout: Duane Noch, NJ Butler & Cop: Stanley Dyrector, CA Stu: Robert L. Mills, CA ...with Ken Raney handling sound effects and the production managed by Larry Groebe.

With Jack and David finally reunited the Audioverse lies ahead! This week we begin with Benchmark from James O'Neill and Paul Freeman performed by Anton Lesser and music by Dan Harris. There's No Place For Old Spies. Defection is a dangerous game. Oliver West relives an event he will regret for the rest of his life.
Afterwards we have lighter fantasy fare with "The Inn Between" and episode one "The Goblin Head" where our heroes meet in a tavern. As you do from Kristen Brand and music from Society favourite Eli McIlveen!

Federal Stonecipher opens the Matinee after Halloween to a tired but eager crowd with Sonic Society #792, Project Audion Episode 20, and Reimagined Radio: D.B. Cooper's Last Interview!

Re-Imagined Radio presents "Frequency 43" by Jerrel McQuen and Marc Rose. Just in time for Halloween. A suitable taste of terror with a side of science fiction adventure. A researcher discovers a parallel universe where the morphing liquidity of dream and nightmare questions the rules of reality. Can dreams connect us with the Great Unknown? If so, how much connection would we truly want? McQuen and Rose hint at answers. From our Guest Producer and Science Fiction series.

We have another visit with Larry Groebe and Project Audion with "On Stage," the early 50s anthology series created by (and for) Elliott and Cathy Lewis. Patte Rosebank and Tim Burns return to the microphones, joined by Trevor Rines, for this half-hour drama of two lost adults who find each other one night, and how it changed their lives. The writing is believable, and the performances, excellent. Not your normal old-time-radio show, this is well worth your time... 

The October Crisis is over and Jack is back, but will the Audioverse ever be same again? Join David and Jack as they repair the fractured universe one show at a time. This week, "October’s Children", an episodic full-cast paranormal mystery/horror audio drama set in a small college town in New England. "October’s Children" focuses on a small, diverse group of 20- and 30-somethings trying to survive the trials and tribulations of ‘everyday’ life in Wolfbrook, New Hampshire. This week it's "Where The K-Mart Used to Be" and "A Rough Idea of the Place"!
