Co-hosts Pete, Paul and Patte divert from their usual format to bring you this diversion -- a standalone production from 1938 that honors Walt Disney on the 10th anniversary of the very first Mickey Mouse cartoon. Discovered by OTR aficionado John Tefteller in his vast collection of acetate (and other) recordings, he released it on Thanksgiving Day 2025 on his own podcast, The Good Old Days of Radio, thus letting listeners hear it for the first time (probably) since its first release 88 years ago. Mr. Tefteller has graciously allowed us to re-re-release it, since our listeners and his likely follow parallel lines, thus allowing more folks to enjoy it. The three co-hosts are not judging it by their usual criteria (see previous episodes), merely bringing it to you for your entertainment.  If you like OTR Essentials and have a suggestion for a future series we should discuss, please write us at our NEW email address: themoonlightaudiopodcast@gmail.com! If we take your suggestion, you'll be eligible for some cool Narada and Moonlight swag. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Deadly Manners is a 10 episode, dark comedy murder-mystery series set in the winter of 1954. It follows the events during the night of the affluent Billings family annual dinner party with their distinguished, eccentric guests. However, all is not fun and games as shortly after the party starts, a snowstorm begins to rage outside, trapping all the partygoers inside their host's mansion and Jack and David find themselves in the middle of it all for episodes 1 and 2!

Project Audion is back with just the facts, ma'am: DRAGNET is one of the few programs from the classic age of radio drama which is still recognized by all ages today - for the iconic four-note theme, at least. But even Dragnet didn't hit the airwaves right away in its fully-realized familiar form. Episode #1, which aired on June 3, 1949, survives only via a script, not a recording. And that script reveals a compelling cop show, but one which doesn't quite match our memories of Jack Webb's LAPD detective, memories formed from years of radio, television, and movie versions.  All of which makes Project Audion's new reconstruction of that very first episode such a fascinating show to listen to. Even the Dragnet theme isn't there! But Sergeant Joe Friday is, along with his partner Ben, as well as  the true-life crime stories where "only the names have been changed - to protect the innocent." Tune in to catch this lost Dragnet episode. But wait -- there's more! (as they used to say on the commercials accompanying Dragnet TV reruns). R. L. Mills, that senior scriptwriting scribe and storyteller from the days of Bob Hope, has penned a parody of Dragnet called "Hairnet" - and THAT plays back right AFTER our lost premiere. The same cast is heard (and seen) in both shows...only of the parts were changed, to protect the actors. Double Dragnets were a fun challenge - and that's a fact. Learn more about your ad choices.

From the shadows of the jungle comes a mystery older than civilization itself! Temple of Vampires is a cooperative recreation of the classic adventure from Carlton E. Morse's legendary radio series I Love a Mystery, newly produced for the Mutual Audio Network by Sonic Cinema Productions and The Amigos Collective. In this thrilling opening double-feature, Jack, Doc, and Reggie travel deep into South America in search of a mysterious stone temple rumored to hold an ancient terror—one whispered about in fearful tones by the locals: vampires. As danger closes in from the jungle and the secrets of the temple begin to emerge, our heroes must decide whether the legend is merely superstition… or something far more deadly. The production stars Jeff Billard as Jack, Lothar Tuppan as Reggie, Jack Ward as Doc, and Angela Young as Sunny, with John Bell, Jan Didur, and introducing Austin Mosher as Hermie. David Ault is your Announcer, with Sharon Bee on the organ. Post-production by Michael Messner, with script updates and direction by Jack J. Ward. Learn more about your ad choices.

Project Audion is back with Doctor Christian, which starred Jean Herscholt, was a popular and long-running light drama series about a small town doctor and the wide range of people he helped. While completing college, Rod Serling submitted a script about a boxer who was facing the fight of his life - titled "To Live a Dream."  Entered into the annual Dr. Christian scriptwriting contest, it came in second place, and gave Serling his first income from writing, his first national broadcast...and was a first step of Rod Serling's own dream. It's a surprisingly polished and intense first step, at that! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Project Audion is back with another powerful show! Arch Oboler was one of radio's most accomplished writer/producers. Although he may be best known for his creepy horror scripts, he cared deeply about the human condition and regularly tackled weighty topics. "Special To Hollywood" was an indictment of the vacuousness of Hollywood celebrity, told in a sort of proto-"Twilight Zone" form. The story was performed on three occasions, and the 1945 script (from the series "Arch Oboler's Plays") became the core of Project Audion's second-ever show back in 2020. Six years later, we've gone back to our old Zoom files, remixed them and added fresh visuals, because - well, just because it's a yarn that's worth re-hearing with a message that is still relevant today.
