Ok, so I failed in my attempt to take over the collection thread with my Old Time Radio subject - mainly because the girls insisted on talking about organizing their notes with pretty colored ink.

So, I'm starting a thread dedicated to Old Time Radio here, where girls can't lament 5 dollar writing instruments (us guys know better, we can appreciate good tools of any kind).

OTR 101, lesson one:

Sherlock Holmes with Basil Rathbone (the REAL Sherlock Holmes) and Nigel Bruce (the ONLY Dr. Watson).

Gentlemen, I present Murder by Moonlight (http://www.rusc.com/samples/shlm.1945.10.29_MurderbyMoonlight.mp3), originally aired Oct. 29th, 1945!

Sit back and relax! Let your mind make the movie.

Very cool!

[JoeC]

Oh yah, and there's lots cooler. One of my favorites is the episode of Escape where the hero accidentally sinks his ship near an island inhabited by a world-reknowned big game hunter. Problem is, the guy has tired of hunting animals...

Riveting stuff.

[BroTrevor]

This is pretty good.


"would ya care to join me for a wee drop of brandy..."

[BroTrevor]

This sounds like a short story I read in English class... I think it was called "A Most Dangerous Game". If it is the same basic story... it WAS very interesting.

Lol, interesting... I just think they could do a bit less of the "said Tony the frog" stuff... the voices are different enough to tell apart ;)

I really enjoyed the Adventures in Research show I had never heard about... never knew that Gearge Westinghouse was such a productive inventor!
