Pete, Paul and Patte present Patte's pick, an episode of the NBC Radio series The Phil Harris - Alice Faye Show, called "Improvement is Necessary"!  Come for the old-time radio, stay for the scintillating (that's one way of putting it) discussion afterwards! As you listen, perhaps you'll learn if we feel this entry meets the following criteria:  1. Is it truly representative of that series? (Can anyone point to it and say, "Yes, that is what [NAME OF SERIES] was all about.") 2. Is it an episode worthy of inclusion in any and every OTR aficionado's private collection? So with this in mind, we three bring you, as our forty-second number (but 5th official episode of S4), this episode of The Phil Harris - Alice Faye Show, from 4-22-51. We'll introduce the show, play it in its entirety, then discuss it at length. Thanks for joining us, and we hope you enjoy it!  Please show your support of the podcast by doing any of the following... To comment on how we might improve OTR-E, or give suggestions for future discussions, please write to us at f6point3@gmail.com . Put the word "Essentials" in the subject line.  Your feedback means a lot to us! A review at iTunes or at your usual podcatcher would be appreciated. Next Time: It's Paul's pick again, and he'll bring a surprise (translation: he has no idea yet)!

OLD-TIME RADIO ESSENTIALS 42 - Harris-Faye Show

 SUSPENSE, Episode 55 Premiered May 10, 2024 Suspense is one of classic radio's most highly-regarded dramas -- with good reason. It sustained a remarkably high quality level of dramatic tension for 20 years, as the many surviving recordings attest. But a handful of episodes are lost - and Project Audion now recreates one of them. "The Life of Nellie James" was intended as Suspense's premiere, but circumstances pushed it back to the third episode. It was performed once, live, on July 1, 1942, but never heard again. Until now -- as Project Audion, kicking off its fifth season, brings together a transcontinental cast in a live transcription of "The Life of Nellie James" from the original 1942 script. A dreadful murder takes place in the Simon James home, and justice is done ...or is it? It's a tale well-calculated to keep you in ...Suspense! Featured in our cast are – Patte Rosebank in Canada Tim Burns in Kansas Andy Hartson-Bowyer in Virginia Richard Huitema in Florida Mel Rose in Pennsylvania Pete Lutz in Texas Art Brown in California Denny Thompson in Colorado Frank Guglielmelli in Pennsylvania Sharon Grunwald in New Jersey Larry Groebe produced and directed from Texas

MUTUAL STAGE - A Cold Night's Death

 Just premiered for the International Jack Benny Society annual convention, and now available to all: a "new" episode of the classic Jack Benny radio show newly penned exclusively for Project Audion by Bob Hope comedy writer Robert L. Mills. Here, Jack and the gang do a send up of the movie "Witness for the Prosecution" - with W. C. Fields in a guest-starring role.    Here's what Mr. Mills said after hearing the final product: "This as near perfection as any living humans could possibly recreate a 75-year-old radio show. You performed miracles producing this and the program will take its place among the best work you've ever done." As Jack would say... "Well!” That's a tribute to the cast and crew. Go ahead - join our virtual studio audience and laugh at the efforts of these talented voice actors...   John Bell in Alabama Pete Lutz in Texas Ken Jeffries in California Carl Thomas in Texas Bob Beaumont in California Angela Young in Florida Harry Middlebrooks in CA Norman Cline in Kentucky Bob Mills wrote the script in LA While back in Texas,  Larry Groebe oversaw the production
