Getting back to our regular Tuesday schedule, America's Favorite Rocket Scientist™ and Big Brain Smart Head™ Bob Luzenski joins Rafe to discuss NASA's highly successful Artemis II mission to the far side of the moon and back to earth.Ten days in space and nearly 700,000 miles for the crew of Artemis II ended on Friday evening (PDT) off the coast of California.  The mission was, by nearly all accounts, a spectacular success with only a handful of minor issues popping up during the flight.The images that were acquired while on the far side of the moon were spectacular as well, with great shots being made of an eclipse of the sun, the earth from a record distance away (for humans), and a broad palette of colors from the surface of the far side of the moon.Public sentiment was high during the entire mission, with all manner of people discussing the voyage in glowing terms.Tune in to see what an actual rocket scientist saw during the mission.#bufnagle #artemis #artemisII #farsideofthemoon #nasa #spaceflight #recordsetting #SLS #rocketscience #afrs #bbsm #americasfavoriterocketscientist #bigbrainsmarthead #celestialmechanics #moonorbit #earthorbit #apollo #integrity #teamwork #selfsacrifice #orionspacecraft #spacelaunchsystem #orioncapsule #europeanservicemodule #esm *****As always, you can reach the Buf at bufnagle@bufnagle.com*****As you know, this is an independent podcast so your hosts also carry all the expenses of running this podcast.  As such, some of you have asked how you can help out.  Well, here's the answer: support us on Buy Me a Coffee:https://buymeacoffee.com/bufnagleOn this page, you can do a really nice thing like send us a couple dollars to help cover the cost of recording and hosting and microphones and research and all that.  Any little bit really helps!  Thank you in advance!!!

It's time for some classic deadpan radio comedy served extra dry. Today we're bringing you two original Bob and Ray Show recordings from August 1951, played straight off vintage AFRS transcription discs. And if you've never heard Bob Elliott and Ray Goulding in their early days, this is the perfect intro. You'll hear sketches like an “ad” for a dual-purpose swimming pool table, plus a fake Adult School of the Air lesson that explores what happens when you're just… brutally honest all the time. Familiar characters like Mary McGoon and Tex show up too, getting into surreal conversations, including one about a completely nonsensical plan for a musical swim across New York Harbor. It's sharp, weird, and quietly hilarious.

Horror: Hermit's Cave “Mystery of the Thing” 1944 Syndicated, Macabre “The Crystalline Man” 1/1/62 AFRS.

Today's episode digs into one of the most exciting parts of vintage radio: finding lost recordings. Host John Tefteller is joined by Dr. Joe Webb to talk about how shockingly few recordings from radio's golden age still exist. But every once in a while, a rare survivor turns up, like today's episode of The Adventures of Sam Spade from 1947, “The Yule Log Caper,” found on an Armed Forces Radio Service transcription disc. They talk about why AFRS versions were so important in preserving history, share a few fun behind-the-scenes stories, and highlight standout moments like Hans Conried's scene-stealing performance. SHOW NOTES The Adventures of Sam Spade 1947-05-11 The Yule Log Caper The lead actors: Howard Duff as Spade, Lurene Tuttle as Effie Howard Duff had a long and successful, and sometimes rocky, radio, film, and television career. He was not an expected candidate to become Sam Spade. The then-wife of producer William Spier, Kay Thompson, suggested that he be given better consideration. Thompson was a musical coach at MGM and was an important behind-the-scenes influencer in encouraging stars to appear on Suspense. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Duff  Lurene Tuttle was one of the top radio actors of her time. She might be best known for playing Spade's dizzy secretary, Effie, but she appeared in hundreds, if over a thousand, radio roles, often uncredited, in soaps, dramas, westerns, comedies, and other programs. Tuttle had a successful television career, often playing the busybody next-door neighbor, as well as many film roles. The supporting cast: Hans Conried (Tauchnetz) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Conried  Conried was one of radio's finest, most versatile, and most reliable actors. Baby boomers may remember him best as “Uncle Tonouse” from television's Danny Thomas Show / Make Room for Daddy. An example of Conried's skill can be understood when there was a sound effects problem in a Suspense production. It was in the middle of his lines when a prop gun did not fire and he had to buy time for the sound effects artist to retrieve and fire the backup gun. Details are at https://archive.org/details/TSP470227  John McIntire (Carmichael) Jack Moyles (Clausen) Lurene Tuttle (Old lady) Hugh Thomas? (Merwyn Trelease) Charlotte Lawrence (Mrs. Clausen) Classic radio researcher Karl Schadow notes that the character named “Al McAvity” is an inside joke about Tom McAvity. He was broadcasting executive who was with both NBC and CBS and various ad agencies.
