    Classic Sonic Society #28: Western Shenanigans

    Play Episode Listen Later Sep 28, 2025 54:04


    Have you noticed that recently Westerns are making a bit of a comeback? I'm not speaking directly about the most recent Oscar buzz of "Brokeback Mountain", but rather the successes of shows like Colonial Radio Theatre's "Powder River" which is getting rave reviews and thunderous applause from all quarters. XM Satellite radio can't seem to get enough Powder River, and Jerry Robbins is now working on season three of the hit series. On televsion, even science fiction takes a turn moseying along with the "wagon trains of the stars". Gene Roddenberry claimed to sell Star Trek in the 60's with that phrase, and Joss Whedon's pre-empted triumph "Firefly" along with its followup movie "Serenity" leans heavily on that age of old west. While I'm well aware that genres weave in and out of popularity, I'm more interested in why cycles occur rather than suggesting that they somehow have a regular pattern- if they did, wouldn't it have been time for a big 30's pulp movie like Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow? How long has it been since we've had a new renaissance in that genre? I think there's something about the world we live in today, and the values that the Old West represented- simplicity, even a clearer sense of what's right and what's wrong. In today's complex society, there's a real yearning for a tangible way to make a better life.

    We're back to Sunday Showcase's Mutual Presents as we introduce another favourite from the Mutual Broadcasting System, our spiritual forefather to the Mutual Audio Network- Welcome to "The Crime Club"! The Crime Club aired on the Mutual Broadcasting System as a half-hour weekly radio series, beginning on December 2, 1946 and continuing until October 16, 1947, a run of 47 episodes. It aired on Mondays at 8 p.m. through December and then on Thursdays at 10 p.m. It was also heard on Wednesdays and Sundays on some stations. Each installment was introduced by the series host, The Librarian, portrayed by Barry Thomson and Raymond Edward Johnson (who was perhaps better known as the host of Inner Sanctum Mysteries). The series featured murder and mystery dramas, some of which had already been published by the Doubleday Crime Club. A new Crime Club book was made available to the public each week and distributed though local newsstands and bookstores. Each show in the series began the same way. The telephone rings and the Librarian answers "Hello, I hope I haven't kept you waiting. Yes, this is the Crime Club. I'm the Librarian. (name of the program)? Yes, we have that Crime Club story for you. Come right over. (The organist plays a creepy tune). The doorbell chimes. "Ah you're here. Good. Take the easy chair by the window. Comfortable? The book is on this shelf." (The organist plays a scary chord). Here it is - (name of the program, the author and a very brief summary). "Let's look at it under the reading lamp." The Librarian begins reading the prologue for the tale, and another Crime Club offering begins. This week we start things off with "Death Blew Out the Match" and "Mr. Smith's Hat"!

    A terrific premiere is here! A lost episode from one of the greatest audio dramas to come from Radio's Golden Age -- "Gunsmoke."  Gunsmoke is the show that single-handedly created the "adult western" series drama genre...the show that moved the genre from the kid-centered "Lone Ranger" into darker, more mature themes... the show that ran for 10 years and nearly 500 radio episodes, and 20 years and 600 more chapters on television.  A handful of Gunsmoke audio recordings have been lost for seven decades, and Project Audion is recreating one of those missing episodes - in fact, Gunsmoke's second-ever show from May 3, 1952. Only the first seven minutes of the show survive as a recording, so this will be the first opportunity to hear this great early episode in 73 years! Tune in when our cross-country cast brings Marshall Matt Dillon, Doc Adams, Chester and others back to life in our live Zoom recording of Gunsmoke, a dark drama entitled "Ben Thompson."

    Summertime is a good time for lighter fare...August brings us a variety show that is super-fun and super-easy to listen to -- "The Camel Comedy Caravan with Garry Moore and Jimmy Durante." (whew - just call it the Jimmy Durante Show) Remember Jimmy Durante?  A fellow so famous for so many decades that just a caricature of his face was once enough to elicit a smile. His outsized "Schnozz" matched the outsized personality from the 1920s through the 1970s. You know him, even if you think you don't -- because even today his catchphrases and songs have endured. You can hear Durante singing in the "Joker" movie of 2019, imitated in the "Lion King," and showing up every year in beloved animated Christmas specials.  So for this Audion Original, Pete Lutz decided to revisit this unique talent, imagining a fresh 1940s episode of the Comedy Caravan with on-air partner Garry Moore, plus guest stars Sydney Greenstreet and Rose Marie. It's a half-hour of the kind of variety show that radio did so well. "Everyone wants ta' get inta de act!" and they do for a marvelous half hour of mirth and music...

    In our encore performance from Project Audion this season, Larry Groebe returns again to ask what do you do if you grew up listening the classic dramatic series on the radio, then found a career writing TV comedy for Bob Hope, and now, decades later, you still harbor fond feelings about those radio shows of your youth? Well, if you're Robert L. Mills, you write shows like the one you're about to hear.  It's a takeoff of a certain famous detective whose name sounds awfully similar to OUR show's hero, named Stan Slade. The original "Adventures of Sam Spade" was broadcast in the late 1940s and early '50s. It starred Howard Duff as the detective created by Dashiell Hammett. It was a fun show that never took itself entirely seriously. Mr Mills has nudged his tribute a little further into the toungue-in-cheek -- or should I say toungue in beak? -territory, reuniting the detective with his old adversaries from the Maltese Falcon movie, Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre. Everyone in our cast gets to have some fun with this adventure of Stan Slade, Detective, entitled "The Burmese Penguin Caper".  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
