2nd Golden Age of Radio!

I am back! Jarod is also back!! This time HE brings ME some Doctor Who radio drama!!! In January 2007, a new series of Eighth Doctor audio adventures was broadcast on BBC7. These starred McGann alongside Sheridan Smith as a new companion named Lucie Miller. There were eight 50-minute episodes in total; the first and last stories were two-parters, and the rest were single episodes. These adventures have since been released on CD and that is how we listened to it. In 2008, BBC7 broadcast the second series of The New Eighth Doctor Adventures (which Big Finish had already released on CD). All fourteen episodes were then repeated in 2009, and the final two-part story later that year. Big Finish has gone on to produce two further series of these Adventures, and four selected stories from the third series were aired in 2010, with BBC Radio 4 Extra (as Radio 7 became) skipping ahead to the fourth series in early 2013.

This time I invite Conor on the show to dive into this "Post Golden Age" Radio Show! In 1974 long-time radio producer Himen Brown convinced CBS to green-light a new anthology of Radio Dramas, CBS Radio Mystery Theater. Radio Drama had been declared "dead" twelve years before. CBS Radio Mystery Theater was meant to appeal to an audience that remembered when old time radio drama was a popular form of family entertainment. Riding on the wave of nostalgia fever, the radio show attracted many younger listeners who would stay up late, hidden under their covers to hear the program on their bedroom radio (and many of them were not able to go to sleep after listening to the frightening program).

My good friend Sid Sharma and I discuss this classic radio show. Although we recorded it during the pandemic, I also want to recognize the Black Lives Matter movement currently happening in the US and beyond our boarders. Sid says it best in this episode, "Fight the good fight!" I support BLM and my friends (and all people) of Color now and forever! More about the show we cover in the podcast: developed at the Blackett, Sample and Hummert advertising agency in Chicago, Captain Midnight began as a syndicated show on October 17, 1938, airing through the spring of 1940 on a few Midwest stations, including Chicago's WGN. In 1940, Ovaltine, a product of The Wander Company, took over sponsorship. With Pierre Andre as announcer, the series was then heard nationally on the Mutual Radio Network where it remained until 1942. It moved to the Merchandise Mart and the NBC Blue Network in September 1942. When the U.S. Government broke up the NBC Red and Blue Networks, Ovaltine moved the series back to Mutual, beginning September 1945, where it remained until December 1949.

Ruth called in and we had an amazing time! From fan, to guest, I am so happy we covered Dark Fantasy in a fun Ruth and Richard way! Dark Fantasy was a horror/ suspense thriller old time radio program that consisted of thirty-one short episodes that aired from November 21, 1941 until June 19, 1942 broadcasting from Station WKY in Oklahoma City. As old radio shows went, Dark Fantasy was way ahead of its time!

My good friend Cagney and I talk about the Original True Crime type show, Gang Busters! It is one of the earliest crime shows on radio, was created by actor-producer Phillips Lord. Deemed as the only radio program that featured authentic police cases, it debuted on NBC Radio on July 27, 1935, under the title G-Men and Lord himself as the narrator. He was later replaced by Colonel Norman Schwarzkopf, the New Jersey Police superintendent during the investigation of the infamous Lindbergh case, along with Commissioner Lewis Valentine of the New York City Police.
